Nov. 19, 1990: Sports Illustrated profiles Wittenberg
From the Sports Illustrated Vault on SI.com, a profile of the men’s and women’s basketball programs at Wittenberg (Nov. 19, 1990):
On the second night of school this fall, the incoming basketball hopefuls at Wittenberg in Springfield, Ohio, were invited to a casual affair at an apartment house where some of the senior members of the team lived. The offer conjured up visions of brews and pizzas and the chance to rub elbows with Brad Baldridge, the Tigers’ 6’9”, 205-pound Division III All-America center. But instead of getting the welcome mat, they were called on the carpet by Baldridge, who harangued the newcomers about the importance of winning. “I told them they were going to have to improve themselves, stay focused and perform if they were called upon,” he later said, “because the thought of losing makes me sick to my stomach.”
