The Spartans brought the New Year in with a bang, as the men's basketball played a New Year's Day game at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. The Spartans battled back from a halftime deficit to secure the win. Two weeks later, the Spartans came back to Maryland, taking on Coppin State and Morgan State. NSU men won both games in front of festive crowd of Spartans. The Morgan State game even went to double overtime!
