The Washington and Lee men's basketball program claims a long and illustrious history and will be celebrating its 100th season during the 2007-08 year.  The Generals have posted more than 1,000 victories and 10 conference championships since beginning play in 1906-07.  The 2006-07 season was W&L's best in 16 years and the current season should be even better with the return of four starters, including senior forward Greg Bienemann, who earned First Team All-ODAC honors in 2006-07.
