Art students all cherished their hands, so they tended to avoid participating in sports like basketball which allowed for them to be easily injured. The animation department's team wasn't the only one that had been forcibly made.
The four departments under the animation and media faculty all had relatively small numbers of players on their basketball teams. Only the photography department had a select few strong pillars and did not care as much for their hands, so they were much laxer on the recruitment process.
The animation department had the least, maxing out at six players.
The first match was against the web development and gaming department, which had eight people.
Based on body height and size, the web dev department possessed an advantage. There were two people above 180 cm, both of them seemingly very built.
