March Madness in Madison!

Congratulations to the MudPhuds, 

our very own UW MSTP MDPhD intramural basketball team 

that won their first playoff game this past Tuesday! 

Pretty impressive for a team with an average age about 15 years

greater than that of its competition. 

Team members include all-stars such as: 

Jason C. 

Patrick B. 

Rachel L.

Josh L.

Brandon W.

Larenda M.

Dre E. 

Erika S. 

The intramural games are being set up single elimination style, 

just like March Madness, so if you want to show some support for these 

really really ridiculously good looking basketball playing science people, join us at

the SERF at 8:30pm this Tuesday (4/1) 

and be ready to CHEER THEM ON! 

Like this guy; he seems pretty excited.
