With spirits higher than the scoreboard indicated, the annual Biola-APU men’s and women’s basketball showdown was full of energy, enthusiasm and team spirit on Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Alumni, students, parents and friends came out for the annual rivalry wearing all manner of Biola gear, from “Beat Azusa” and “The Red Sea” t-shirts, to pom-poms…to a group of bare-chested Biola men, each emblazoned on his stomach with a red-painted letter, together spelling “BIOLA UNIVERSITY” (see photo). A sold-out pre-game alumni dinner in the Café Banquet Room provided enough food, fun and energy to last through both games. Though the outcomes were not what we wanted (women’s game: Biola 50 to APU 70; men’s game: Biola 57 to APU 70), we’ll be back next year!
