NCAA Guys Night Out

The CAI Men's Club knows how to do March Madness.

For the third straight year, members of Men's Club took up their usual table at Miami Mike's Sports Zone in East Hanover and enjoyed the first night of NCAA Tournament Action. The action commenced at 7 p.m. on Thursday night, March 19th.

In addition to a great night out with terrific guys, fun food and refreshing drinks, we were treated to some of the best games of the tournament so far. The most notable contest featured American testing Villanova. Our own VP Marty Schenker, an American U. alumnus, (pictured with Jay Baranker) sweated it out while his Eagles built a 14 point lead over Nova, only to succumb to the more experienced and physical Big East team.

Also in action were Gonzaga and Akron. The #13 seeded Zips, representing the MAC, dominated most of the game but a late run and a worn-out Akron squad secured a Zags win. One of the tighter match-ups squared Michigan against Clemson, in which the Wolverines squeaked it out, and Texas pulled away from a pesky Minnesota team to advance to Round 2.

Those in attendance agreed that the night was great fun, and that you couldn't have picked better games to watch. The event was only enhanced by the atmosphere at Miami Mike's. "Mike always takes care of us," said Men's Club President Adam Shandler. "He has a real knack for hospitality and for making us feel like number one. We're looking forward to having future programming at Mike's."

Event chair Larry Dodyk, pictured with Miami Mike, did a stellar job organizing the evening.
