Under the leadership of Head Coach Sean Rutigliano, Colby Men’s Basketball has exploded out of the gates this season, proving that the Mules are a force to be reckoned with in the NESCAC. Coach Rutigliano brings a championship pedigree and a “toughness and togetherness” philosophy that has already yielded signature wins, including a conference-opening victory over Connecticut College.
With a roster featuring standout individual performances—like a recent 30-point game to close out 2025—and a bench that consistently outproduces the opposition, the Mules are preparing for the future. But to maintain this elite pace, we need the partnership of the Friends of Colby Men’s Basketball.

Your gift toward the $35,000 goal ensures Coach Rutigliano and his staff have the tools to build a lasting legacy in Waterville:

- Championship Travel and Gear: Funding for premier out-of-region competition and high-performance equipment to keep our roster healthy and ready for the NESCAC grind.
The foundation for the future of Colby Men’s Basketball is being laid right now. Your partnership during True Blue ’26 provides the critical fuel Coach Rutigliano and our student-athletes need to turn this historic start into a championship finish.
