Fellows Cheer On BU Women’s and Men’s Basketball Teams

On the evening of Friday, November 10th, team spirit was in the air as Fellows, host families, and staff got together to cheer on the the women’s and men’s basketball teams at the opening home games of the 2017–2018 season. We thank Al Petras—a BU alumnus, former SVP of Bank of America, and HHHP seminar speaker and host family member—for arranging this vibrant and exciting evening for us on an otherwise very cold Friday night in Boston.

The doubleheader against Northeastern University started off with the women’s team winning a 74 73 nail-biter. The men’s team followed and fought hard, but they ended up losing 59-65.

Win or lose, it was a great evening for the Fellows and the Program. With the BU dance team, cheerleaders, marching band, and energetic fans, everyone got swept up in the excitement of Division I basketball.  Al even arranged a visit by BU mascot Rhett at our seats!
