The Tufts men’s basketball team has entered the 2024–25 season with one goal: to go further. Last year’s Sweet 16 finish was a significant achievement, but the team hopes it was only the beginning. With three starters returning and a roster bursting with young talent, the Jumbos are poised to make an even bigger statement this season.
Tufts football hit the road on Saturday, heading to Williamstown to take on the Williams Ephs at Farley-Lamb Field. Coming off a 20-13 win over Hamilton College the previous week, the Jumbos went into the game knowing they needed to deliver against a tough Williams team to keep their NESCAC title hopes alive.
Legacy can be tricky. In any field, when your name carries weight, the expectations that come with it can be suffocating. But in sports, it’s a different kind of pressure. It’s not just about living up to the name on your jersey, it’s about expanding upon the greatness that you inherited.
Tufts football entered its week four matchup against Trinity College riding high after a 25–0 shutout victory over Amherst College. The Jumbos, with a 2–1 record, looked to hand the undefeated Bantams their first loss of the season.
Following the thrilling 23-21 season-opening win against Bowdoin, Tufts took to the road to face off against the Wesleyan Cardinals. Similarly to the Jumbos, Wesleyan entered the matchup undefeated on the young season, posting a 43-7 rout of Middlebury in their week one game.The game's opening moments could not have gone worse for the Jumbos. On the very first play from scrimmage, Wesleyan senior quarterback Niko Candido hit senior wide receiver Chase Wilson for a 75-yard touchdown, slicing right over the top of the Tufts secondary. After a missed extra point attempt, Wesleyan led 6–0 just nine seconds into the game.
