The University of Fort Lauderdale Men's Basketball Team made the NCCAA post-season tournament for the 2nd time in 3 years. 

This is an amazing accomplishment because only 8 teams in the entire country quality for this prestigious event. 

The Eagles lost the first game of the tournament but came back with a vengeance, defeating Justice University, 91-79.

Coach Anthony Anderson said about the season, 
"We battled through a lot of injuries but it was an honor and a privilege to help push them to the next level. When they say they can't but continue to show me they can...that is very rewarding as a coach.  I am truly blessed to have some really great people around me. We can't wait for next season!"

• Jimel Cofer and Benez Woodard led the Eagles in scoring. Both averaged over 15 points per contest. 

 

•  Da'Shaun Stigler, Corey Pope and DeAndre Pemberton led the Eagles in rebounding. 

 

• Chris Berry averaged 2.3 steals per game. That was number 1 on the team.

On February 24th, 2025 The University of Fort Lauderdale set a school record, scoring 120 points in the win over Florida National University. 

This was an exciting season, with a lot of new players getting acclimated to Coach Anderson's system.

This basketball team has all the pieces in place to return back to the NCCAA Tournement next season and make a deeper playoff run in 2025-26.
