Last year, the LSE Men’s Basketball Team won the British Division II National Championship with a 102-41 rout of the University of Bolton in Sheffield in March. This concluded an undefeated 21-win season for the Beavers, who also hoisted the Southeastern 2B League Trophy and the University of London Cup in February. The team was also selected by the LSE Athletic Union as the 2006-2007 Team of the Year.
