David, not even Martin Luther would be able to explain Wittenberg! ;D  And they will now probably blow out OWU.

Is Wittenberg going to capitulate this year?

As weird as their year has been, I expect they'll lose a couple more head-scratchers, then sweep the NCAC tourney and end up in Salem! ;D

Luther might just wonder if he stands and can't do otherwise if he saw what has happened at both Wittenberg and Capital this year.

3. Wabash 7-5/12-7
3. Allegheny 7-5/10-9
5. DePauw 6-6/13-6

Huge, huge, huge back-to-backs this weekend for the teams at the geographic extremes.  Allegheny can seal up h2h over Wabash, DePauw can play their way into a top 4 spot, Wabash can solidify a top 4 spot.  Lots of possibilities here- and Hiram lurks as a wild card- Wabash needed some buzzer beating heroics and a couple of overtimes to get by the Terriers the first time around.  Getting into crunch time here and these head-to-heads amongst the teams bunched up there around the top 4 cut line will be fun to track this weekend.

There's no patsy in the NCAC this year. Anyone can surprise and win a game.

The Columbus Dispatch has actually taken some time to cover the Bishops. They released this piece about Axelrod.

That is amazing. Any space they give to anyone other then A&M is very surprising. Axelrod deserves it. As I mentioned in a earlier post it was fun watching him blow by guys a foot taller then him at the Wooster game leaving them wondering just what happened.

OWU squeeks by witt 49-47

That's a tough result for Witt.  When you hold that crew to under 50 and have a shot to basically take a game back on the field, you really need to lock that up.

Wittenberg has to win out and make the Championship game of the NCAC Tournament to avoid its first losing season in almost 60 years.

Meanwhile:

Wooster SQUEAKED by Kenyon 93-91.  No comments from the Scots gallery?

Denison pounded Oberlin 90-68.

Although it is not a fun result for the 14-15 Wittenberg team, what an amazing program accomplishment to go that long without a losing season.

I had to checkout the boxscore for OWU/Witt:  http://www.battlingbishops.com/boxscore.aspx?path=mbball&id=3427

OWU attempted 31 3-point shots and Witt had an 18 offensive rebounds to 4 advantage and still lost.

Claude Gray is really key for the Bishops and he's really hit the skids here over the last few weeks.  He was pedestrian in the losses to Wabash and Denison.  He was dynamite against Wooster.  And then last night he piped in a 2-11 performance in a game that OWU by all means probably should have lost (I don't suggest they limit their scoring to 49 points again this season if they want to win).  If OWU is going to win this league, he's going to have to get back to December Claude.
