The Tiger men's basketball team has been ranked among the nation's
top 25 and the Great Lakes Region's top 10 for much of the season.
The regular season North Coast Athletic Conference champion each of
the last two years and the conference tournament champion in 2002,
Wittenberg is back atop the standings again this year with a mark
of 6-0. Overall, the Tigers have an 11-3 record, but just one loss
was against an NCAA Division III opponent. Wednesday night's
opponent, Wabash, was one of the conference's preseason favorites
and is off to an outstanding 11-3 start of its own, including a 5-1
mark in the NCAC.
The Tiger women's basketball team is off to another great start in
hopes of defending their NCAC regular season championship of a year
ago. Wittenberg is 11-4 overall and 6-0 against conference
competition. The Tigers are within three victories of guaranteeing
themselves of a 14th consecutive winning season, dating back to
1989-90, but they have designs on bigger prizes, including a ninth
regular season NCAC championship and a seventh berth in the NCAA
Division III tournament. Kenyon, one of four teams tied for fourth
place in the conference at 3-3 (8-6 overall), figures to provide a
stiff challenge.
