Michigan Tech’s No. 23 nationally ranked men’s basketball team had an incredible season with an overall record of 24-8. Additionally, the Huskies won their first outright GLIAC regular season championship since the 2002-2003 season. The team started the season with a 2-3 record before a major win against Minnesota State University Moorhead, which at the time was ranked No. 3. When asked about a defining moment of the season, Head Coach Josh Buettner, said, “The second half of the Moorhead game. We ended up upsetting a top-five-ranked team in the country and that gave us the confidence that we can beat and play with anybody. The Huskies finished the season with a 13-1 home record.
Throughout the season, individuals from the team received awards. Buettner earned his second GLIAC Coach of the Year while Marcus Tomashek was named GLIAC Player of the Year. Additionally, Tomashek earned First Team All-GLIAC for the second time, Dawson Nordgaard earned Second Team All-GLIAC, and Josh Terrian made the GLIAC All-Defensive team. Tomashek is currently in the top 25 for the 2025 Bevo Francis Award. Buettner said, “It’s a reward for team season and its recognition for the team. A lot of the rewards have names on them but were achieved by team success.”
When asked about the team’s leadership, Buettner said, “Adam Hobson has been a great leader as a senior. He’s willing to do anything for the team, and he’s a terrific representation of Michigan Tech basketball.” Buettner also mentioned that Terrain and Tomashek grew a lot as leaders throughout the season.
The Huskies’ season ended in the second round of the DII tournament when they lost 73-83 to Lake Superior State University. Buettner thanked the community, band, student body, and football team for their support throughout the season.
