Steve Nash ’92 and Alumni Teams Play Students

Saturday, November 19, was a very special date on the SMUS sporting calendar, as students, staff, alumni, parents and friends joined together for an evening of basketball and socializing. Appropriately, everything ran smoothly under the 2011-2012 theme of “one team.”
