Season Summary
The 2007-08 men’s basketball season for Minnesota State has come as a surprise to a lot of people – except them. The Mavericks, who lost three key seniors from a year ago – reloaded this year to win the North Central Conference Championship en route to earning the #3 seed at the NCAA North Central Regional. Minnesota State (22-6, 11-1 NCC) became the first North Central Conference team since 1998 to win the league by more than three games. Senior center Atila Santos leads Minnesota State in scoring at 16 points per game and rebound (10.6). Jake Morrow is second on the team in scoring at 15.9 points per game.
