2020-21 StFX X-Men Basketball News
The StFX X-Men Basketball program is excited to welcome point guard Matt Pennell to the roster for the 2020-21 season.
StFX University is preparing to say goodbye to a coaching legend. Veteran X-Men Basketball head coach Steve Konchalski is retiring at the end of the month after 46 years behind the bench.
The inaugural ‘Coach K Challenge’ exhibition game was a victory for the hometown X-Men over the Acadia Axemen by a 99-76 margin. The victory marked career win #919 for veteran X-Men head coach Steve Konchalski as he closes out his 46-year coaching career at StFX with 1495 career games.
StFX Director of Athletics & Recreation Leo MacPherson is very pleased to announce a variety of initiatives to honour long time men’s basketball head coach Steve Konchalski (Coach K) throughout the entire month of March. Coach K is set to retire as of March 31st after 46 years of service.
We catch up with fifth year X-Men basketball forward Azaro Roker and speak about how his final year at StFX is going and his plans for the future.
With our world remaining in the tight grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, it continues to be a time of change and adjustment for most, including StFX varsity student-athletes. While maintaining their focus on athletics – and academics, of course – members of the StFX Athletics’ family have also pitched in to help everyone at the university remain safe and healthy.
The StFX X-Men have what could be described as ‘unfinished business,’ when the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) men’s basketball season tips off in early 2021. The White and Blue ended last-season with a hard-fought loss to the eventual CIS silver-medal winning Dalhousie Tigers in the conference championship game.
