Witt men fall to Kenyon, finish 13-13
Kenyon’s Jim Arce hit two 3-pointers in the final two minutes to carry the Lords past Wittenberg 65-60 in the quarterfinals of the NCAC tournament at Wittenberg on Tuesday, Feb. 24.
The Tigers finish the season 13-13, their first .500 season since 1967-68.
Wittenberg held a slim lead for most of the game, but it shot just 28 percent in the second half.
Kenyon got a major boost from the return to the lineup of its top two scorers, Bryan Yelvington and J.T. Knight. Neither played in Wittenberg’s victory over Kenyon on Saturday.
After the game, Wittenberg coach Bill Brown was asked if the experience his young team gained this year will pay off next year. Three freshman, Josh McKee, Alex Brandt and Michael Cooper, stayed in the rotation all season.
“We just haven’t improved during the year, and it’s just real disappointing,” Brown said. “Just because you’re a year older doesn’t mean it’s going to work out differently. Experience is a great thing, but you have to be in a position for the experience to be a plus for you.”
