Published Feb 25, 2010

Claiming another perfect season, the Aggie men's team on 20 Feb. defeated the varsity Dragons of the American School of Doha by a score 57-55.

With 31 wins and zero losses, the men's team remains undefeated since November of 2008. "The victory did not come easy," coach Michael Collins said. "The team won on a tough shot with only two seconds remaining on the clock." With 11 seconds left in the game, ASD managed to hit the second of two free throws to tie the game at 55. Benefiting from a great screen set by freshman Kareem Saade, graduate student, Nathan Miller managed to take the ball the length of the floor to make the winning shot with two seconds left in the game. After a timeout, the Aggies stole the inbounds pass to seal the victory.  Coach Collins said, “I am very proud of what our guys have accomplished this season," coach Collins said. "This is the first close game we had all season and they adjusted very well.  This was a fun team to coach with mostly seniors and freshmen."

"I must admit, the ASD team were prepared for us," team captain Dani Wannous said. "They knew our offensive strength and had a great defensive game plan." Wajih Idriss, Dani Wannous, Omar Abdallah, and tournament MVP Nathan Miller were named to the all-tournament team. The team is coached by Michael Collins and Dave Seapy.
