Division II athletics have held a special place in my heart since about the turn of the millennium. I have unfortunately been somewhat disjointed from Division II athletics for a few years now. This past Saturday we were reunited though, as I went to watch my Michigan Tech Huskies in a basketball match against Hillsdale College.
It was great to be out supporting Division II athletics once again. I was especially excited to be at this game because it featured one of the best players in Division II basketball, Michigan Tech’s Ali Haidar. Haidar came into this game averaging about 26 points and 11 rebounds per game. He definitely did not play his best game against Hillsdale, but he still had a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Fortunately, Michigan Tech was still able to secure a 73-55 victory over a then undefeated Hillsdale squad thanks to some strong guard play on the offensive end of the court. All in all, I was impressed by Haidar’s supporting cast on the perimeter. In particular, I was impressed by Brown’s drives to the tin, Armga’s mid-range jumpers, and Culy’s 3-pointers. Hopefully, I will be able to make it to a Michigan Tech basketball game again soon.
