Once again, Kansas, Kentucky and Duke are among the top contenders for an NCAA basketball title

Tonight’s games mark the beginning of another season of college basketball. Even on the first day of the season, there are already some matchups with potential championship implications. At 7 p.m., the preseason top-ranked University of Kansas will take on Michigan State, who are ranked 10. Later, at 9:30 p.m., second-ranked University of Kentucky will take on No. 4 Duke University. Within just two hours of opening day, there will be two games featuring two hall of fame coaches going against each other. In that spirit, let’s take a look at some of the teams that are most likely to come out on top when the season concludes in early April. 

Judges continue their losing streak

With their season almost at its conclusion, the Brandeis men’s soccer team can now reflect on their season as a whole. As has been a recurring theme throughout the season, the team garnered high expectations after making it to the Division III Final Four just last year. However, with a 7-8-2 record and one game left to play, it is safe to say that those expectations have not been met. Still, though, the team has a lot to be proud of, and the season will be remembered for its high points and its low points. Unfortunately, one of the low points came last week — the team is currently riding a three-game losing streak. 

Teams begin season at Fall Invitational

The Brandeis men’s and women’s fencing teams participated in their first meet of the season this past weekend.

Team looks ahead to the last two games

The Judges continued their season this week with two games against non-University Athletic Association rivals Wellesley College and the University of Massachusetts-Boston. With the two losses that resulted from these matches, the Judges are now 11–16 overall for the season. Looking ahead, the Judges will play at the UAA tournament on Friday at the University of Rochester, where they will take on UAA rivals Emory University and Carnegie Mellon University. Brandeis is currently 0–7 in the UAA.

Team continues to impress in fall season

The men’s and women’s tennis teams both wrapped up their fall seasons with two different matches. The men’s team attended the Tufts-Deis Invitational that was held at both Brandeis and Tufts Universities, and the women’s team attended the Middlebury Hidden Duals at Middlebury College. The teams continue to fight a strong set of matches against their opponents.

Team wins three in a row in late-season push

The Judges improved this week, breaking their most recent four-game losing streak. They won the past three matches with an impressive match score of 3–0 against all three opponents. They have improved to 11–14 overall, and looking ahead, the Judges will face Wellesley College on Thursday.

Namaskar dances during Navratri

Namaskar, the Association for Hindus, Jains and Sikhs, hosted Raas Rasiya last Friday, one of the many events within the wider festival of Navratri. Navratri, or “nine nights” in Sanskrit, is a widely celebrated nine-day festival, each day honoring an incarnation of the warrior goddess Durga. According to the Facebook description, the festival celebrates “the victory of good over evil,” referring to Durga’s triumph over the demon  Mahishasura. Although Raas Rasiya is typically held before Navratri (Oct. 9–18), last Friday was simply the most convenient time to hold the event.

Board of trustees discuss University finances and divestment

Fossil fuel divestment and the University’s finances and future were among the topics discussed by the Board of Trustees at its Sept. 26 to 27 meeting. In an Oct. 10 email to the Brandeis community, University President Ron Liebowitz described the tone of the meeting as “ optimistic yet realistic.”

Critical week ends in split decision

The men’s soccer team welcomed two of their vaunted University Athletic Association opponents to Gordon Field this past week. Each game was a marathon, going into either one or two overtimes. Even with all the extra soccer, the Judges escaped the week with a split decision, winning one game and losing the other. This improved their record to 7–5–1 (2–1–1 in UAA play).

Winning streak comes to an end
