Caldwell University Athletics

The 1992-93 men’s basketball team was still in its infancy but in only their sixth season as a program at Caldwell, the Cougars advanced to the national tournament for the first time in their history. Head Coach Mark Corino, in his fifth season at the helm of the Cougars, guided the team to a 21 win season, tying the previous win record set the previous season. The Cougars went 11-1 in the CACC as they repeated as regular season champions and won their first ever CACC Tournament Championship. In the District 31 Tournament, Caldwell defeated Nyack College and Teikyo Post College (now Post University), earning their first ever District 31 title and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament for the first time in program history. Matt Stuart was the top player as he averaged 18.1 points per game along with 8.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per contest. He earned NAIA Second Team All-American honors, which was the first All-American in men’s basketball history.
