January 28, 20179 yr The Tigers(13-6, 7-5 NCAC)came from 12 down at the half to absolutely stun Dension (17-2, 11-1 NCAC)71-70 today in Granville,Ohio. The Tigers hit 44.9% ( 22-49) from the floor,87.0% ( 20-23) from the free throw line on their way to the gigantic N.CA.C. win. Leading then in scoring was Jaelin Williams(Springfield, Ohio / Shawnee) with 23 points.He had 8 boards and 4 steals to completer his big game. For Dension this was their first conference loss of the season.David Meurer(Newark Catholic) hit 10-18 from the floor to lead the team with 23 points.Bret Woolard(Newark High School) came off of the bench to chip in 10 points.
January 28, 20179 yr Jaelin Williams! 23 points and a pin off the backboard as time expires! Wittenberg down for about 25 straight minutes until a Shane Edwards floater off the backboard with 4.7 to go. Tigers were down 16 in the second half...lots of steals and deflections in the press really flustered the Big Red down the stretch. This marks Wittenberg's first win against a ranked opponent this season. Was really impressed with Muerer. He seems to get better and better each year. Woolard hit some big 3's in the first half that helped build the lead. Speelman couldn't find his rhythm today. I supppse the 2 quick fouls plus the presence of 6'10" Chad Roy contribute to that.

Big win for the Tigers! Do you know how the tournament works and will Wittenberg have a chance to play in the post season tournament?
January 29, 20179 yr Big win for the Tigers! Do you know how the tournament works and will Wittenberg have a chance to play in the post season tournament? 10 teams in the conference. Top 8 teams automatically qualify for the NCAC tournament. Top 4 teams play at home. Team that wins NCAC tournament earns AUTOMATIC bid to the big dance. Other teams who make the big dance qualify via an at large bid, which takes into account who won the regular season conference, wins vs ranked (good) teams, and losses vs bad teams (generally under .500). Wittenberg I believe is now in 4th place after beating Depauw and Denison back to back on the road. Denison Wooster Ohio Wesleyan Wittenberg Hiram Depauw Wabash Kenyon Allegheny Oberlin
