Support Men's Basketball at K!

We have a tremendous group of student-athletes who have been working hard on and off the court to elevate basketball at K.

Some recent successes include:

  • Back-to-back double-digit win seasons for the first time in over 20 years.
  • Breaking the school record for points in a single game, scoring 130 points in our season-opening win last season over Grinnell College.
  • Achieving a 3.67 team GPA in 2024-25, the highest in recent memory, and received the NABC Academic Award for the seventh straight season.
  • Traveling internationally for the first time to Athens, Greece, where we had the opportunity to play against European professionals. Experiencing a new country and culture for 10 days was amazing to share as a team.

To build upon these accomplishments and to continue to grow our program, we are asking for your support. Donor generosity made our trip to Greece possible, as well as team travel to California in the 2023-24 season. We have been able to elevate nutrition for team meals and improve travel accommodations; order new uniforms; purchase new shooting machines last fall; and provide an overall great experience for our team.

Additionally, we are focused on increasing annual stipend personnel support. Our three assistant coaches provide invaluable mentoring and guidance, creating a positive environment and the opportunity for our student-athletes to thrive.

Please consider elevating Kalamazoo College men’s basketball by making a gift today. Every contribution counts and helps take our program to the next level.

Go Hornets!
