BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's basketball team equaled its best start since 2011-12 when the Beavers hounded Kalamazoo College in a 68-54 victory on Wednesday, Nov. 30. Kalamazoo slipped to 2-3 on the season, while the Beavers stayed perfect at 5-0 heading into Heartland Conference action at Transylvania on Saturday.

The Bluffton Community Assistance Program is busy at this time of year. Here’s a chat the Icon had with Jami Crawfis, who directs the program's food pantry.
Jami, are there families in the service area of the food pantry that need assistance at Christmas?
I still have a few large families and multiple individuals to adopt out.
The adopting families will provide fresh, frozen and/or canned food items (or even gift cards to a grocery store) for each family as well as gifts from their wish list.
