Tigers hoops team is maturing fast

The Wittenberg men’s basketball team is in the midst of a 3-game road trip which will take them to Richmond, Ind., Meadville, Pa. and Columbus.

But even though the Tigers have a young squad, by this point in the season, Brown believes they’ve matured.

“We have little experience, but we took a trip to Seattle which was an extended road trip for sure and we took trips to Cedarville and Wooster,” Brown said. “I don’t think its probably accurate to call these people freshmen any more.”

Defense and rebounding is key on the road, Brown said.

“You have to play good offense and make shots,” Brown said, “but in a foreign environment, if you go in thinking defense and rebounding, which can be fairly constant I would hope regardless of the environment, and mental and physical toughness as being the keys to winning on the road, that’s where it’s at.”

“We really need to believe in defense and rebounding,” Brown continued. “We have to refuse to not play with great effort. We have to refuse not to play some of our best basketball individually and collectively.”
