Runnin’ the Point: Stepping stone season for men’s basketball
The Quinnipiac men’s basketball team was never supposed to end the season where it did.
The Bobcats were picked to finish 11th in the MAAC preseason poll. They lost seven of their 14 players from last season. The starting lineup was filled with new faces.
Still, Quinnipiac made it to the final four of the conference tournament, the MAAC semifinals, before falling to Fairfield 74-64 on Sunday night.
“Anytime your season comes to an end, it can be brutal, especially when you feel like you’ve built a close bond with your team. That’s certainly the case with this group,” Quinnipiac head coach Baker Dunleavy said. “We had our moment in the locker room after the game. It’s hard to finish this way, but I couldn’t be more proud of what we built and what we’ve become together.”
