Congrats to Witt on a great run!  What a game.  It sounds like one of those games where you hate to see either team lose.  VWU had one hell of a run to close out the season!  They were just in one of those streaks where every game winner they were throwing up was going in for them, especially that Ton Ton guy.  Back to back game winners in the semis and finals.  He also nailed one to beat Lincoln in the Elite 8.  That guy has some serious stones.

Oh well Witt, you did the NCAC and the GL Region proud.  Again, congrats on a great run.  I'm hoping Wooster will be able to make a run like that next year... 8)

Congrats to the Champs!!!

Great season Wittenberg Tigers.  Way to go and represent the NCAC and whole GL Region.  We are proud of you!!  I wish I could have been there but U.S. Navy Commitments come first.

Time to start looking at post season honors and next year?

The Dan "DR." Russ for First Team All-American??
What about Cooper for First Team??

Is Vandervaart going to get some help inside next year from Bradley or recruits??

How is Witt going to replace 2 key senior stars??

Also, I have replay of the Division III finals at 1:00 am (0100) on CSTV on my DirecTV (channel 610).  Set the TiVO and enjoy!

Wow.  What a disappointment.  It was a great game (in fact, a great weekend of games), but very disheartening for Witt to come up empty after leading the whole game.  Congratulations to Va. Wesleyan, who hung around and did what they had to do in the end to win.  The Tigers took it hard, especially Dan Russ and Kenny Brady, but they have nothing to hang their heads about.  Both played outstanding all weekend, as did Dane Borchers (Borchers and Russ were named to the all-tournament team) and the rest of the team.

I was sitting two rows behind Artie, decked out in every red thing I could find to wear, and was proud to cheer on my archrivals.  And I'm still proud of them: they represented themselves, their school, and our conference very well.  Congratulations to Bill Brown and the Wittenberg Tigers!

Thanks, DC, you're a true fan, a gentleman and a scholar.
We always appreciate your input and insight.  Your karma is an endorsement of your value to this board.

And thanks for pumping up the mojo, TF '73.

I'm glad I found these discussion boards this year.  I enjoyed all the discussions.

Thanks.

Thanks for your contribution, Tiger Fan_1973.

Please invite some more of your Wittenberg faithful to join the fun.

Gosh it was heartbreaking to see the seniors on the floor after the game, just absolutely weeping. 

I just wanted to step in and thank the Tigers for being a huge part of making this weekend more than worth the five hour plane trip from Cali for the Final Four. They played with heart, and courage, and lost to a very good team at the very last second. I hope in retrospect, the guys can look back at the season and be proud of what they accomplished... second place in all of DIII is nothing to sneeze at.

Congrats to Russ on a great career, and his All-American nod.

Congrats to the Tigers on a great season.  It was great to have the NCAC represented in Salem (even if it wasn't the Scots!!)  I've also got the game recorded, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet.  Sounds like it was a good one! 

P.S.  Thanks to the former Scot players that I ran into last night here in Columbus for filling me in on the final from Salem.

Congrats to Witt for making the NCAC proud!

Tigers player and fans,

Wow! The Wittenburg Tigers made a GREAT run!  Thanks for making the NCAC and D3 proud.  Wittenburg played hard every time I saw them this past season.  Driving for loose ball and playing in your face Def.  All those player will do well for themselves long after they a done playing. 

Thanks,
Ash Short


P.S. Dan Russ, you play one hell of a game keep your head up!!!
