Do you think if Witt can hold off Ohio Wesleyan today that would be good enough for them to possibly host for both of the next two weekends? It most likely depends on how the bracket shakes out but Springfield is a pretty central location to a lot of places in the U.S.

Thanks for the information - I think Wittenberg having their last 3 games vs Ohio Wesleyan/Hiram/Wooster and most likely 2 of the 3 in the conference tournament will increase their strength of schedule and at most they may end up with 3 losses.

I was thinking that too while watching online, but thought well every team is biased. I was particularly annoyed by every single call that went against Wooster being a "terrible" call. The officiating was actually pretty great in this game.

The young Wittenberg guards are going to be a handful for the NCAC to deal with for the foreseeable future. Excellent balance on this team as you can't key in one on guy and they play the hot hand well. If Witt can stay out of the upset kingdom until the gauntlet final 3 games of @Hiram, @Ohio Wesleyan, vs Wooster then I think they have a Pool C bid locked up.

Looking forward to attending some home NCAC tourney games for the first time in a while in Springfield later this year!

Let's see if the predictions were correct - Witt should be welcomed to the Top 25 after their win last night vs Marietta!

Another example of how the Top 25 rankings can be misleading. Wittenberg is not ranked (yet), but most likely would be 1 or 2 in the regional rankings currently. Regardless, some tough matchups for Witt coming up with a home date vs Marietta an excellent test in the holiday tournament in a few weeks.

Any insight as to the decision of Mitch Balser to transfer from Wooster to Wittenberg? Seems like a rare transfer decision. Wittenberg has a great recruiting class coming in so needless to say Balser will help Witt with some backcourt and point guard experience to offset some graduations.

Congrats to Wittenberg on a great season even if it ended yesterday! Glad to be an alumni of this great school that keeps producing excellent athletic teams!

Congrats to Matt Croci and his first win as a Witt head coach! After a close loss Friday to Alvernia it was nice to see them bounce back. Witt has both an experienced and young team this year, and will also be interesting as their offense and defense will moderately look a little different than under Coach Brown. I'm excited to see what this team has in store and continue the winning tradition!

Muskingum named former wittenberg assistant Travis Schwab their head coach today . He will be missed at Witt for sure!

Hello everybody! Sorry for being missing for so long! ScotsFan beat me to it but congratulations to Coach Brown on career win number 500! Quite an accomplishment.

I unfortunately won't be able to physically see a lot of games this year due to my officiating, but will definitely keep my inputs current and observations.

I was able to attend the game vs Capital last night until halftime and that's all I really needed to see as the game was in hand early. Wittenberg has a veteran starting 5 and I'm not sure what the issue was but Capital could not get a stop at all. Wittenberg had lots of open 3 point shots and I didn't see the final numbers but completely out-mannded Capital on the boards, mostly offensive. Lots of new faces on the Wittenberg depth chart so I wish I could have seen more to get an idea of what talent is to come!

Also, I did watch online the tournament game from past weekend vs Wheaton. Great game, Witt actually had control in the second half but once overtime hit they just could not get anything going. Still an impressive showing; I'll be interested to see how Wooster compares vs them.

Good luck to the Witt football team in their playoff game this weekend!

Listened to the last 10 minutes on the radio on my way home from a bball game-good job as always to Witt's play by play guy Scott Leo!

Anyway, good effort from Witt to fight back from a deficit. As discussed this week, Witt tried to go zone and the percentages were in their favor, but just like in blackjack sometimes it just doesn't go your way and Witt never recovered after the three 3's in a row from Wooster. They fought back but never could get over that hump.

BIG game for seeding purposes on Wednesday vs Depauw for Witt. I know Depauw won the first time, but since I've been MIA all year, Coach Brown referenced a call at the end of the first meeting at Depauw by stating that it would be disappointing if that one call decides the fate of several teams for tiebreaker purposes. Can anyone fill me in?

Just though I'd throw my two cents in on a few things:

I do have to agree, kudos to Wabash as their game coverage is next to none in the conference, although Wittenberg isn't too bad itself 

Also, not ALL refs stink, I happen to be quite a good one 

I am missing from posting about Wittenberg as I have only attended one game all year; I saw them lose to Taylor in thier championship of the holiday tournament last Saturday. My high school officiating schedule has me working every day they have a game. Otherwise I'd be throwing my two cents in.

My two cents so far is that they are a young team that is missing 4 seniors that graduated from an Elite Eight team. Wittenberg's main struggles have been rebounding and scoring this year.

If Witt is looking ahead to their big matchup Saturday, Marietta may pip them.

I'd pay good money to see Wittenberg get pipped.

Sorry guys, Wittenberg wins 73-63! End result never really in doubt, just like the first several games of the season Witt won the battle of the boards but played great defense and shot exceptionally well from the floor. REally like this team so far as they are balanced and force you to guard them all over the floor.

Unfortunately this is the first year in like 8 years I cannot attend the Witt-Wooster game. I will be reffing somewhere, but I blame the NCAC for making this game so early where I forgot to block my schedule. HOpefully another Witt win!

Witt are the "Old" Tigers since they were in the league first!

How about "new" Old Tigers as they really are a new group this year? We can compromise!
