Men's Basketball

By giving to UAFS men’s basketball, you’ll help our 16 student-athletes fuel up before competition, maintain their energy during games and recover after workouts.

Your gift will help provide pregame meals tailored to players’ nutritional needs, halftime snacks, and a locker room stocked with protein shakes, fruit and other healthy, convenient foods. When an early morning lift leads straight into class, having something nutritious to grab means players can refuel effectively without missing their academic commitments.

Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that increasing protein after exercise supports muscle repair and growth, while Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that maintaining healthy carb levels before games helped athletes maintain sprinting and jumping performance in the fourth quarter.

“I want our student-athletes to remember that we did everything in our power to give them a first-class experience,” said Zane Gibson, head men’s basketball coach.
