The Hatchet’s editorial board congratulates GW Men’s basketball team on a good season in a year of lowered expectations.

Basketball is a sport that feeds off the outwardly impossible. Players appear to soar as they make incredible dunks; seemingly insurmountable leads are overcome in minutes; and on those rare occasions a desperate buzzer-beater will hang in the air as a moment stretches into eternity. This year, the men’s basketball program has done what may have previously seemed impossible. Following two severely disappointing years, the team overcame the last two seasons’ failures with impressive zeal.
