Wooster faces a big man challenge today with the Ohio Northern Polar Bears.   ONU's lineup:

WSF, I only got to hear the very end of the game, but looking at the stats, the Scots had a 37-17  rebounding advantage.

kiltedbryan - great point, and they also held 6'9" Scott Schnelle to only 14 points compared to the 26 that he dropped on Defiance!

Well, playing Randolph Macon is definitely a step up from IU-Kokomo! (from Pete Thorn's past...)

At the Half:  Wabash 36  #2 Randolph-Macon 26

Little Giants are on track for a big upset.  Wabash is being led by Wes Smith with 16 points and AJ Sutherlin with 8 points.

GO BASH!

You can bet Randolph Macon will play defense on Smith unlike Otterbein letting him run loose most of the game.

You were saying?

There may be a Wes Smith sighting at d3hoops.com this evening.  Well deserved. This is a helluva win for Wabash.  6-0! WAF!!

[Schwami]

WOW 

I am officially reconsidering my poll vote for Ian Franks 

[wooscotsfan]

Congrats to Wabash on a Big Upset of #2 RandyMac!  Excellent win by the Little Giants!

[Li'l Giant]

Wow. Just Wow. Great win for The LGs. I gotta say this is a great run. Wes is bringing it every game. This is clearly Wabash's best team in a long while. Let's keep it rolling! Wabash Always Fights!

[David Collinge]

Oberlin gets hammered in what sounded like an ugly game at Earlham, 80-68.  Not a game Oberlin should lose.  If this is another "long bus trip" loss, maybe OC should use some of their endowment on a plane.

[Li'l Giant]

Does Oberlin have the bus from "Major League"?

[kiltedbryan]

Great win for the Little Giants and for the NCAC.

For the Yeomen, not so much.

Any sense on how stiff of a test DePauw is expected to be for Wabash?

Any sense on how stiff of a test DePauw is expected to be for Wabash?

Depauw beat Franklin by 6, Wabash beat Franklin by 36.... don't know if this is much of a gauge, but at least it is something.

Wabash will need to play well to beat the Dannies!...... WAF!
