Division 1 teams prepare for championships

The Hoosier men’s and women’s basketball teams aren’t the only ones who get to suit up at Assembly Hall this year.

Thursday marks the Recreational Sports Intramural Championships for the Division I men’s, women’s and co-ed teams, which will play on Branch McCracken Court.

Perennial champion UMAD will be seeking a “three-peat” in Men’s Division I and were undefeated throughout the regular season and playoffs. They will face another undefeated team, 574.

The Women’s Division I matchup will pit the Gypsy Ladies against The Lushes. The Gypsy Ladies coasted through the regular season but only won their quarterfinals game by one point. The Lushes won three games in a row to vault them into the championship game.

Both co-ed Division I teams went undefeated in the regular season, but have fared far differently in the postseason. Whistletips has been involved in heated games throughout the playoffs, winning its semifinal game by three points and quarterfinal game by just one.
 
The Monstars overpowered opponents by an impressive 24-point average in their playoff run. Regardless of their scoring margins, both teams have earned a spot to play at “The Hall.”
