While we’re in the midst of football season, basketball season is just around the corner and the MIAA conference held their 2024 basketball media day on Tuesday.
Both Pittsburg State men’s and women’s basketball had a successful 2023 – 2024 season.
The women’s team earned an overall record last season of 24 and 8 while going 15 and 7 in a very tough MIAA conference. While the men's team had one of their best seasons in years going 21 and 11 overall and earning a 15 and 7 MIAA record.
PSU women’s basketball welcomes back seniors Karenna Gerber, Grace Pyle, and Harper Schreiner. The trio helped the team earn a number one pre-season ranking in the coaches' poll and number 2 in the media poll. Head coach Amanda Davied spoke about the senior leadership on her team and their role going into the new season.
“Well, their personalities, they all three have different personalities, and I think they are very approachable. And they include everybody from the freshmen up to the juniors. We have three new people in our program right now. Three new coaches who I think they’ve shared themselves with them. We’re just trying to get everyone connected as fast as they can.”
Pitt State women’s basketball opens up the season on the road in Columbia, Missouri taking on Ferris State Saturday, November 2.
