In the shadows of the Wolfpack basketball season, another tournament took place on the hardwood. The intramural basketball tournament, which ended March 29, provides good but not always clean fun and a friendly spirit of competition to study-weary students of all years and majors. Students get together every spring and pool their basketball skills. After the madness ends, the players quickly begin preparation for next season.
Nicknames roll off the players' mouths like finger-rolls in the paint.
Unofficial MVPs are named, but the choice is disputed. Without a doubt in my mind, the offensive MVP should be Steve Wade. The tournament has been known to get physical. There is plenty of participation, despite the occasional teeth grinding. Some players get involved as a way to relieve the stress of studies, but others just enjoy the game and exercise that comes with it.
