Mission Statement
Basketball at Taylor University is a unique experience. It is very demanding physically and mentally because we feel a real burden to develop the talents God has given us to the fullest. Only through overcoming obstacles and working through adversity can one know the exhilaration of the climber as he reaches the peak or the thrill of the athlete as he does that which seems impossible. We will work together, struggle together, grow together, pray together and ultimately succeed together. Our young men will be changed because of their participation in our basketball program. We want that change to be in the direction that God wants them to go.
