Sun, 29 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/2012081088vr0q https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105oyil1h Most of the more than 2,300 fans in attendance at Saturday's North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament championship game left simply shaking their heads. They had just witnessed one of the amazing performances by an NCAA Division III team, turned in by the second-seeded and sixth-ranked College of Wooster Fighting Scots as they walloped first-seeded and fifth-ranked Wittenberg University, 100-71, on the Tigers' home court. Sat, 28 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105oyil1h https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105mf1x74 The top-seeded and fifth-ranked Wittenberg University Tigers used a balanced offensive attack and a significant rebounding advantage to ease their way past the visiting Wabash College Little Giants, 71-54, in the second North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament game at the HPER Center. The win moved the Tigers into their 11th NCAC Tournament championship game in 15 years in the league.

Chalk up two more wins in the last week - Saturday over Allegheny in the regular season finale and Tuesday over Denison in the NCAC Tournament quarterfinals - heading into the biggest weekend of the season. Wed, 25 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20120810f4w45v https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105tre1z6 In two meetings in the 2003-04 regular season, the Wittenberg men's basketball team had two very different experiences while the Denison Big Red provided the opposition. On Tuesday in the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament Quarterfinals, the Tigers saw a little of both sides of the Big Red - the one that lost 74-29 in Springfield in early January and the one that battled Wittenberg tooth and nail before falling 67-56 in Granville in early February - before putting Denison away, 71-46.

Wittenberg is the only school ever to accomplish the feat. Sat, 21 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/201208103gi7yg https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105zrio29 The tone was set early as sophomore forwardKenny Brady (Reading, Ohio/Reading) scored Wittenberg's first four points on putback baskets. Even though the visiting Allegheny College Gators matched those two baskets, the Tigers displayed plenty of muscle and enough offensive touch to pull away for an 85-66 victory at the HPER Center.

The Tigers, now ranked No. 7 in the nation, won for the 16th and 17th straight times by capturing hard-fought victories over nationally ranked Wooster and Ohio Wesleyan in the last week. Thu, 19 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20120810py3t9n https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105hwv2nc The Wittenberg Tiger men's basketball team has been pushed into "gut check" time on a couple of occasions recently. Once again on Wednesday at Ohio Wesleyan, the Tigers did what they had to do at the times it counted most, using a 10-1 run in the closing minutes to open up a tight game and earn a hard-fought 60-50 victory. Wed, 18 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105hwv2nc https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/201211051ok46m In the highly-charged atmosphere of the College of Wooster's Timken Gymnasium Saturday night, the Wittenberg University Tigers accomplished one of the tallest of tasks when it comes to North Coast Athletic Conference men's basketball, win on the Fighting Scots' home floor. The Tigers won for the 16th straight time, slipping past the Scots 73-62 for the second straight time in the 2003-04 season.

The Tigers now head into a huge match-up at Wooster on Saturday with a 19-3 overall record and a mark of 13-0 in the NCAC.

The Tigers improved to 18-3 overall and 12-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference with the win, while Hiram dropped to 4-16 and 2-10 respectively.

The win allowed Wittenberg to maintain a one-game lead on Wooster in the North Coast Athletic Conference standings. Wed, 04 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/201211050eqlvd https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105xfqkqc The difference between good teams with potential and great teams with conference championship and national tournament aspirations is often how they react in pressure situations. Facing a deficit late in the second half and struggling with their outside shot, the Wittenberg Tigers rallied to take a 67-56 decision against the host Denison Big Red. Sat, 31 Jan 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105xfqkqc https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/201208107ssde9 The Wittenberg men's basketball team enjoyed yet another perfect week, extending its winning streak to 11 games, dating back to a Dec. 10 home loss to nationally ranked Otterbein. The Tigers improved to 15-3 overall and 9-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference with victories over Hiram and Earlham in the last week. Thu, 29 Jan 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/201208107ssde9 https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105dz7m7y When the Wittenberg Tigers and the Earlham Quakers hook up on the basketball court, the contrast in styles is obvious. And over the last four seasons, Wittenberg's power inside game and stout defense has been far too much for the Earlham up-tempo and three-point shooting, as it was again on Wednesday night as the 21st ranked Tigers posted an 84-53 win on the Quakers' home court. Wed, 28 Jan 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105dz7m7y https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/2012081035ak3g Wittenberg University Men's Basketball Head Coach Bill Brown reached another milestone with Saturday's 91-49 victory over the visiting Hiram College Terriers. Now in his 17th season as a head coach and his 11th directing his alma mater's men's basketball program, Brown earned his 300th career victory.

But Saturday's 91-49 victory for the Wittenberg men's basketball team over the visiting Hiram College Terriers will go down as important anyway. Sat, 24 Jan 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105r7fb7b https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20120810ukt2pm Wittenberg has established itself as the team to beat in the North Coast Athletic Conference, thanks in large part to a pair of convincing home victories in the last week over top contenders Wooster and Ohio Wesleyan. The Tigers are now 7-0 in the NCAC, one game ahead of the nationally ranked Scots and two ahead of the Battling Bishops. Thu, 22 Jan 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20120810ukt2pm https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20121105wpj2yc Considering how the game started for the Wittenberg men's basketball team, the way it ended is that much more impressive. Held scoreless for the first five minutes of the game and trailing 18-10 at the 10:36 mark of the first half, the Tigers outscored visiting Ohio Wesleyan, 60-31, the rest of the way to stomp the Battling Bishops, 70-49, in a battle for first place in the North Coast Athletic Conference.

And for the fourth year in a row, the Tigers did just that with a regular season North Coast Athletic Conference victory over the College of Wooster Fighting Scots, this time upending the fifth-ranked team in the nation, 72-62.

Fri, 16 Jan 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/20120810ovifx3 https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/mbkb/2003-04/releases/2012110502hq4v The Wittenberg men's basketball team didn't play one of its best games, but the Tigers did just enough in the hornet's nest that is Wabash's Chadwick Court Wednesday, escaping the host Little Giants 58-46. The win set up a first-place showdown against Wooster on Saturday in Springfield at the HPER Center.
