On every game day, he's the best offensive player in the gym...usually by a wide margin. 

Ian Franks' 27 points today would suggest otherwise! 

Wally said it right and nothing mean about Ian Franks....great player too!  However, no excuses here, a healthy Wes would had lead to a different outcome.  Can't wait for the rematch on 2/5!!!!   

According to Mac Petty, Wes was only 75% of himself since he was battling the flu.  What a break for Wooster!  I believe he should try to get more of his teammates involved in the scoring.  Someone else besides Wes need to put up some points.  Courush and Burkett must do more inside and finish their shots.  A couple of times it appeared Courush was afraid to shoot and if he had turnaround to the basket, it would have been some very easy shots. 

Wabash bashes Denison 73 - 57.  Win #13 and bring on Wooster!!!!

I hope the Little Giants come out firing on all cylinders tonight.   The Holiday period creates a lot of advantageous time to heal; but it also could potentially create some rust.  

Here's hoping Wabash takes care of business tonight!

WAF!

62 - 45 Wabash with 7:18 remaining.

Ditto, pennstghs.  Unfortunately, we have to go to Crawfordsville first.  Without Larry, I don't forsee an upset this time.  Wabash is playing very well right now.  I still don't see them beating Wooster, though, on either team's court. 

Back to Oberlin.  It is a great school, in a quaint little town, with a very liberal approach to academics and the world in general.  It has a distinct tilt toward the arts.  I view Kenyon and Denison similarly, but with the exception that both have certain athletic programs with traditions and a reputation for excellence that will attract the athlete just based on that tradition (e.g. Kenyon & Denison swimming).  That is where Wooster and Witt are with basketball.  The W's seem to be the places for the best Ohio DIII players to go if they are very focused on hoops and the academic choices suit them.  Oberlin, Kenyon and Denison then have to either take then next best Ohio recruits or go out-of-state with their recruiting and hope that they can attract based on academics or other criteria.   

I do see Wabash beating Wooster this Saturday.  It's our year and moment to shine across the D III Nation.

Thank you Wabco!!!  I was a day ahead of myself.

Bash Brother ... Franklin game is tomorrow night, December 29 at 7:30 PM at Franklin.  Franklin always seems to have "soccer-esk" hooligan type fans (whether football or basketball) ... suspect there is some corralation with SAT scores.  In any event ... close enough to Indy ... hope we have a bunch of supporters to help out the start of Phase II of the season ...

and then there is Woo on Saturday, Jan 8.  The students are not back yet.  Should be a great game ... Wabash will need our "A" game and our "A" fan support.  Urge all (Woo and Wabash) who want to see a (hopefully) highly contested event  between two fine teams lead/guided by two great coaches. Be there or be square!  (I do not know if there is video.  Hope so.)

Let's go Little Giants tonight in Franklin, IN.  We're on a roll.  Keep it simple and protect the ball.

Wabash looked good yesterday.  The week long rest paid dividends for the TEAM!!!!  Go Little Giants and I wish you ALL a Merry Christmas!

Smith's body language has oscillated between depressed and downright indifferent the past couple games. Frustrating to watch...

I'm wondering how healthy Wes is right now.  He was playing with an ice pack strapped to his hip on Tuesday against OWU.  I'm guessing today wasn't much different.  Wabash plays two games in the next 3-ish weeks.  Hopefully that'll give Wes time to rest whatever it is that is ailing him and get back to being good ol' happy-go-dunkin' Wes. 

Wes' preceived body language is not indicative of his heart or love for the game.  To be honest with you, he's been beat-up quite a bit this season.  This week will allow him some much needed rest.  Then, watch him take flight and soar and earn NCAC honors once again.
