MBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Gregory Sager]

Carroll came out on the wrong end of a back-and-forth contest in the Bethel tournament that concluded in an 80-74 Loras victory. Michael McNabb paced the Pios with 25, and was aided by Peyton McKenna's 17 and 7, Dennis Estepp's 13, and Jimmy Tarjan's 10 boards. The Duhawks got a big game in their win from a familiar face, as former Augustana standout Jake Willems led Loras with 32 points.

Millikin held the lead over Wash U in St. Louis -- a lead that the Big Blue grew to a dozen at one point -- from the start of the game until the Bears went ahead by a point when there was only 2:40 remaining in the second half. After that, the Big Blue never got it back. Wash U sent MU back to Decatur in brooding dejection, 78-69, to complete a trifecta of sadness for the CCIW tonight. Lane Thomann led the Big Blue with 19 and 8, Caden Nichols and Ian Winkler provided 12 and 11, respectively, and Damontae May grabbed seven rebounds in the losing cause.

IWU opens the season today vs. Yeshiva in the Sikma Invitational Tournament at Shirk.  The season begins, the long journey for this new group begins.  I expect another 20 win season and a possible CCIW championship.
