UAT Faculty/Staff vs. Students Basketball Showdown

At University of Advancing Technology (UAT), we participate in competitive events to give students a chance to sharpen their skills, build teamwork, and gain real-world experience. This event was no different as students took a mental break to flex their sport skills.

On April 11th, the court at UAT lit up with competitive energy as students went head-to-head with staff and faculty in a thrilling Staff vs. Students Basketball event. With pride, bragging rights, and a little friendly rivalry on the line, both teams brought their A-game—but it was the staff and faculty who ultimately took the crown.

In a dominant display, the staff squad secured a clean sweep across three games with scores of 11-8, 11-0, and 7-4. From buzzer-beaters to full-court hustle, the games were intense, physical, and packed with school spirit. Students showed heart and grit, keeping the competition alive until the very end.

But don’t count the students out just yet—rumor has it, a Fall rematch is already in the works. And this time, they’re coming for redemption. Led by the newly created basketball club under the helm of President, Vaughn Videtic and Vice President, Alexis Sloan with Professor Aaron Rodriguez as support.

Until then, congrats to our staff/faculty champs! 🏀💪
