With only 11 days left until the men’s and women’s basketball teams tip off their seasons, the Smith Center doors opened for fans to see a practice.

With the recently announced absence of sophomore Cheyenne Moore and freshman Hermann Opoku, the basketball teams will need to rely on a toned-down front court including senior Dokun Akingbade, sophomore Rob Diggs and senior Regis Koundjia.

The women’s team is significantly less depleted with juniors Kim Beck and Sarah-Jo Lawrence holding down a team prepped for dominence.
