Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tip Off on New Court

The men’s and women’s basketball teams are entering the 2026–27 season with a brand new court in Philips Gym, a fresh set of uniforms, and anticipation for the upcoming opportunity. Both programs will begin their seasons Nov. 6 against Hiram College as they look to jump to a promising start. The men’s team, led by Head Coach Shiva Senthil, finished 13–13 overall and 6–10 in the North Coast Athletic Conference last season. This year’s roster includes six first-years, nine second-years, and two third-years, with no fourth-years listed: Third-years Rob Magner and Matt Andreopoulos are the team’s oldest returning players. “Now with so many seniors graduat[ed], this feels like a new chapter for Oberlin basketball,” Senthil wrote in an email to the Review. One of the biggest questions for the Yeomen is where their scoring will come from after the departures of last season’s three leading scorers: JJ Gray, Zach Smith, and Milun Micanovic.
