NEW YORK — Wagner College fans gathered for a March Madness watch party on Staten Island on Tuesday.
The men’s basketball team is part of the First Four doubleheader.
The Wagner Seahawks are hoping to score a win over the Howard University Bisons.
“This is a really big deal for Wagner. The last time that they were in the tournament was even before I was born, so this is the coolest thing, especially as a daughter of an alumni. I’m so excited, and I’m so happy to be here,” Wagner College grad student Nicole Donello said.
“They earned their spot and now this is a big game. They want to play North Carolina really badly, so I know they are going to come out playing as hard as they can,” said Malia Mpondo, who is on the Wagner College women’s basketball team.
