Huskies fal in a close game to UW-Green Bay, despite career night for Hankerson

DeKALB — Sophomore guard Trendon Hankerson has played in 34 career games for the men’s basketball team, and with 2 ½ seasons of eligibility left, will play in plenty more before his Huskie career is over.

None will compare to Saturday’s game with University of Wisconsin—Green Bay, as Hankerson lined up across from his brother, Kameron, a senior guard for the Phoenix.

Taking the court together for the first time since their high school careers at Novi High School in Michigan, Trendon played one of the best games of his career, but Kameron came away with bragging rights for Christmas dinner, as the Phoenix withstood a late Huskie rally to squeak out an 85-84 win.
