Basketball and hockey games are in full swing. While watching from your computer or TV screen isn’t the most ideal right now, it is one of the ways in which we can show our support for our teams. It is also possible to watch games in person now as two fans per student-athlete are being allowed at all home UMN Crookston men’s and women’s basketball and hockey games.
