How an NYU Men's Basketball Captain Spent the Season's Opening Day
Any given day in the life of an NYU student athlete is an exercise in time management.
With practice up to six days a week, a full course load, and additional workouts and meetings, success requires discipline, top-notch organizational skills, and, of course, a genuine love of the game.
For a behind-the-scenes perspective on that balancing act, NYU News photographer Tracey Friedman embedded with NYU men's basketball co-captain Zay Freeney (SPS '25) and his teammates on the day of their historic first game (against Manhattanville College) in the Paulson Center.
That Wednesday, November 8, began with a 9:30 am class on the lower level of Bobst and ended with a 77-60 victory in the season opener.
