The Eighth Annual MTU vs. GVSU Basketball event sponsored by the MTU West Michigan Chapter was held on Thursday evening, February 16, 2006 in the upper mezzanine area of the GVSU Fieldhouse in Allendale, Michigan. We had another good turnout of enthusiastic West Michigan alumni who met on a rainy, but unusually warm, Thursday evening on the campus of Grand Valley State University to witness the always intense rivalry between these two teams.
MTU vs. GVSU Basketball 2006
Following the 6:00 start of the women's game participants enjoyed BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw and drinks, catered by Famous Dave's.
Between the women's and men's games, a raffle was held of Tech memorabilia, compliments of Steph Olsson and the MTU Alumni Association, to many (actually, to most) of the attendees. Unfortunately, Steph could not make the event this year.
As far as the basketball games, Michigen Tech didn't fare quite as well as in recent years, dropping both the men's and women's games. For a detailed recap of each contest, click below...
Thanks to all the participants a most enjoyable evening!
