The men have won three straight games in three days at the NAIA DII National Tournament in Point Lookout, MO to make it to the Final Four! They first beat Mt. Vernon Nazarene in a close 77-74 competition. The next victim was Evangel, who they beat 72-63. The latest game was against Grace College, resulting in an 81-70 victory. The men are hot and there’s no stopping them now! They are just two games away from another National Championship. They first have to beat MidAmerica Nazarene of Kansas on Monday night at 8:00 p.m. If, or when, they win that game, they will play the winner of Bellevue and Northwestern at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday for the championship game. These past three days have been extremely exciting, even though the only way I can show my support is by listening on the radio; the College Union at OIT plays the games on a large screen, but heard it continually freezes and cuts out. I would rather just listen and skip the intense buildup delays.
At the tournament, the team is being lead by captains Ryan Fiegi and Josh Wetzler. Fiegi is averaging 20 points a game in the tournament, while Wetzler is averaging a double-double at 10.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. Jguwon hogges is also contributing 11.3 points per game.
