There are lots of activities this weekend in the Koessler Athletic Center (KAC) as your Golden Griffin men’s basketball team concludes its regular season with a pair of games.
On Friday, February 24 at 7:00 p.m. Canisius hosts Fairfield. Free bobbleheads will be given to the first 200 ticketed fans and to the first 300 students (with ID) entering from the pre-game birthday party for Petey. The Griffs are one game ahead of the Stags in the conference standings.
Sunday, February 26, is Senior Day and the Hall of Fame Ceremony. Golden Griffins Phil Valenti and Kiefer Douse will be honored before the game for their contributions to Canisius basketball.
