The Ferris State University men's basketball squad will return from the holiday break with a pair of home contests this week inside FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The nation's 17th-ranked Bulldogs, who are 9-2 overall, will host Fanshawe (Ontario) on Friday (Dec. 29) along with Kuyper on Saturday (Dec. 30) in Big Rapids. Both games are slated for 3 p.m. (ET) tipoff times.
Friday's contest is billed as Community Day with all local fans encouraged to come out and support the Bulldogs. The support is needed with FSU students currently on the holiday break.
Meanwhile, Saturday will be Kids Day and all youth ages 10 and under will get in FREE.
The Bulldogs won back-to-back regional matchups over Ashland and Cedarville prior to the Christmas Holiday.
This weekend's action marks FSU's final two non-league games of the season. Ferris State will resume Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) play at home versus Lake Superior State on Saturday,

On Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell saying the team needs to stay focused and not prolong celebrating the NFC North division title: “Yeah, I think he’s exactly right. We’ve got to move forward now. It was a fun 24 hours enjoying that, having a good Christmas, being able to enjoy the fanfare of all that was winning the division, but that’s over. That’s behind us now and now we’ve got another game to win in Dallas.”
On if he thinks complacency caused them to lose any of their earlier games this season and what lessons were learned from it: “I don’t think complacency caused us to lose any games. I think that’s what you get fearful of when you do win a division. And certainly, in our situation, won one for the first time in a long time and think the job’s done, and by no means is it. We’ve got a ton more goals ahead of us and everything is in o
If you didn’t love the Lions at the multiple three-win or less seasons, you don’t deserve their NFC North Championship. In all seriousness though, it doesn’t matter if you were a fan yesterday, a fan today, or have been a fan your entire life, what matters is that the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan are alive and well. It may have gotten a little too close to comfort near the end of the game, but a win is a win and Detroit beat Minnesota when the clock hit triple zeroes.
With the Sunday win, the Lions clinched the NFC North, a playoff spot, and dare I say every single heart in the Midwest outside of Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The game was filled with highs and lows, but ended on the best high with an interception by Ifeatu Melifonwu to seal the deal 30 to 24.
The Lions did win the game and had four interceptions defensively, but that side of the ball played just above horrible. An effort like that won&rs
Corewell Health™ recently received $115,000 in grants from the American Cancer Society to fund transportation and lodging for cancer patients. The grants are part of $8.3 million awarded by the American Cancer Society to health systems nationwide.
“Not having access to high-quality cancer treatment due to where you live contributes to the disparities we see in cancer outcomes,” said Dr. Arif Kamal, chief patient officer for the American Cancer Society. “It’s important to provide the funding and programming needed to keep a lack of transportation or the cost of a hotel room from impacting survival.”
Instead of opening gifts this year, MSU Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU) members and the community opened their hearts during the Credit Union’s annual Giving Tree initiative with local nonprofit organizations across Michigan.
Employees, members, and the community collectively donated 735 gifts toward this year’s Giving Tree partners, helping to provide holiday gifts to 151 individuals throughout the communities served by the Credit Union. This is a significant increase from last year when 220 gifts were collected for more than 100 families.
MSUFCU’s annual project to help make the holidays brighter for children and families ran from Nov. 1 through Dec. 1. The public could select gift tags from the Giving Tree displays at every full-service MSUFCU branch. Each tag contained one or more individual wish list items to purchase. The new, unwrapped gifts and tags were returned to the branch by Dec. 1 for distribution.
This year, MSUFCU partnered with Child and Family
