Brooklyn, NY---The Brooklyn College Men's Basketball Team honored their seniors on Tuesday night, but also had one senior,
Michael Tesoriero, return to the lineup to spark what would be a season-best performance by the Bulldogs, routing borough rival Medgar Evers in the team's last showing before the CUNYAC Tournament begins this weekend. Brooklyn, who will enter the tournament as the #5 seed, will travel to #4 Hunter on Saturday. The time for that game has yet to be announced.
