Wabash is having its hands full with Kenyon. The LGs are on an 8-0 run with 3 minutes to play, but lead just 58-54.

[smedindy]

Kenyon hits a three with :02 left, but Wabash gets the ball to half court, calls time, and then Derek Bailey hits a three before the buzzer for a 62-60 win for the Little Giants.

[Matt Letourneau]

It is worth noting that Catholic's loss at DeSales came in a game without their starting center, Chris Kearney, who had been averaging 5 rebounds a game and has 17 blocks in 7 games.  Catholic got outrebounded in that game and outscored in the paint.  Kearney's getting healthy again and was back for the win against Gettysburg.

#6 Whitworth 79, at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 64.  51-51 and then an 11-0 run puts Pirates up to stay.

In the numerology dept. my 666 post was a victory for the 6th ranked team.  Pass the egg nog....

Complete for this week's paltry selection of games.  Hope no one was anxiously awaiting this post; I was busy grading precalculus tests.

10:00 Left in 2nd Half:  #1 Wooster 63  Anderson 31

Wooster is shooting close to 60% and is dissecting Anderson on the Ravens home court.  Justin Hallowell and Ian Franks are leading Wooster in scoring.

[wooscotsfan]

Final:  #1 Wooster 89  Anderson 48

Wooster notches a nice road win by overwhelming Anderson on their home floor.  Wooster shot 62% from the floor and outrebounded the Ravens by 46 to 30.  Wooster scored 61 points in the 2nd half.

Anderson was ranked in the preseason Top 25 and this was their first home loss of the season.

Wooster is now 9-0 and next game is John Carroll at home on 12/28
