An interesting note is that this is the first time that the Thunder seniors will get to play at Devos (haven't played @ Hope since 2009).
For some reason, the MIAA/CCIW classic was at Calvin this year instead of the usual rotation of Hope.
Despite the letdown that the Thunder could not host, Devos is the best atmosphere in DIII (not even close or a debate) and will be rowdy for the Saturday game as long as Wheaton can get past Rose-Hulman. If you're going to play on the road, its best to play somewhere that is loud/packed than a neutral site game or a team with little crowd support.
