On Saturday, Feb. 1, Macalester’s men’s basketball team won a matchup against the College of Saint Scholastica 79-76. Noah Shannon ’26, on the bench due to injury, sported a bejeweled tiger chain that stole some of the Scots’ on-court show.
As he explained: “[Head Coach] Abe [Woldeslassie ’08] said it was a big game today and to show up like we’re professionals, so we showed up like we’re in the NBA … This is actually JP [Kerrigan ’28]’s necklace. He gave it to me, and I said: ‘Y’know what? I’m gonna wear it like a champ!’ … I think we’re all tigers on the court.”
