Witt in rare role as spoiler
It’s not the position he’s used to, Wittenberg men’s basketball coach Bill Brown said, but it’s a reality he can’t ignore.
Used to playing for league titles, the Tigers will play the role of spoiler in the last two weeks. Being two games down with four to play, they aren’t mathematically eliminated, but even if they beat Ohio Wesleyan on Wednesday and Wooster on Saturday, they will still trail those teams by a game.
Then Wittenberg would need both OWU and Wooster to suffer an unlikely loss in one of their three remaining games.
What Wittenberg can shoot for is a first-round home game in the NCAC tournament.
“Our overall mindset is the tournament is wide open,” Brown said. “We have to keep focused on trying in the limited amount of time we have to practice at this time of the year to keep improving, both individually and collectively, because we still believe the tournament is wide open.”
