Exciting news for Benedictine University Mesa—our Redhawks are headed to the NAIA Men’s Basketball National Championship Sweet 16 in Kansas City, Missouri.
After an impressive showing in the opening rounds of the national tournament in Texas, the Redhawks secured their place in the Sweet 16 with a thrilling 99–94 Round Two victory. The team’s determination and teamwork carried them through a hard-fought game and earned them a spot among the final teams still competing for a national title.
Earlier today, the BenU Mesa community gathered for a small but heartfelt send-off as the team departed for Kansas City. Students, faculty, and supporters stopped by to wish the Redhawks well and send them off with plenty of encouragement as they continue their postseason run.
The Redhawks will face Faulkner University (AL) in the Sweet 16 matchup on March 19 at 12:00 pm CST. It’s another big moment for the program and an exciting opportunity for the team to keep their national championship hopes alive.
Congratulations to the Redhawks on an outstanding season so far, and best of luck as they take the court in Kansas City.
