TUN Victorious Against TUC in “The Big Game”
91制片厂 continued its athletic dominance over its California counterparts with a 69-64 victory in 鈥淭he Big Game鈥� on March 7.
The win pushed TUN鈥檚 record to 9-1 all time in Big Game meetings, with TUC鈥檚 lone victory coming in 2013. It was the first Big Game held on the TUC campus since 2016, and the Matadors made sure they left with another hard-fought victory.
鈥淧laying at their gym was quite different than it was playing in Nevada. The gym was small but the noise was loud. No matter how loud we would yell and try to talk to each other during the game, we couldn鈥檛 hear each other,鈥� Raymond said. 鈥淲e still had a great turn out of fans for TUN and they were shockingly loud. A lot of faculty, administrative staff, family, and friends came to support us and they helped keep up our morale when we were struggling.鈥�
Led by second-year medical student Ky Raymond, the Matadors defeated the Bulls in front of a gymnasium packed with raucous TUC fans.
Raymond said this year鈥檚 team was more conditioned than last year鈥檚, which helped them keep up with a quick and hungry TUC squad.
Not only did the basketball team claim victory, but for the second-straight year, the TUN dance team took home the dance competition award; this time on the opponents鈥� turf.
鈥淚 was looking forward to the 2019 Big Game since the 2018 Big Game finished,鈥� Raymond added. 鈥淚t felt great to keep the unbelievable record going that TUN has, and bring home another win. I can鈥檛 wait until we can get yet another Big Game banner hanging up in our gym.鈥�
