Looks like Wheaton won over Millikin, 62-52. 

Nathan Haynes with a solid game, 18 pts, 15 rebs.
Millikin led by Deavis Johnson, 13pts, 10 rebs.

Would love to hear a full rundown as Peters finished with 0 assists.  Strange.  In fact, Wheaton finished with 9 team assists, and Millikin just 6.

I did not get to stream the entire game, but a good amount of Wheaton's offense came from quickly attacking Millikin's full court pressure. I think this strategy would contribute to the 0 assists. Millikin had trouble keeping Haynes from making plays. Other than Haynes, this game was pretty ugly for Millikin. Millikin shot 32% FG and 11% from 3 and lost by only 10. Heck of an improvement over a year ago. Keeps me an optimistic Big Blue fan. Congrats to IWU on the conference title.

Did anyone see that one coming? Congrats to the Redmen on a big win.

Millikin 77
Elmhurst 72

FINAL from Decatur

Millikin up 59-52. Less than 7 min remaining. Not the prettiest ball you have ever seen.

He should be proud to share his name with such a great American!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Can anyone give me a little insight on Elmhurst for tonight? Other than Sanford, I'm not very familiar with their squad. Anyone that can give me a quick scouting report?

As a Big Blue fan around Decatur, it has been awesome to see what Coach Nadelhoffer has been able to accomplish. I don't have any special insight that hasn't already been discussed in previous pages, but I am anxious to see what they do against Elmhurst tonight. It's a matchup that could be telling on how relevant Millikin can be this year. Win at home and show you're worthy of some early conference season recognition, or lose and let people dismiss you. Can't be anything but pleasantly surprised with the results these freshmen have created so far.
