Brian's boys completely exploded against Regis (never heard of them) in the championship game of the (not quite so) prestigious Park Lodge Tournament.
Wheaton rode some hot shooting from behind the arc and won the game 73-50, Wheaton's most decisive win of the year (they only have 2) and Regis' most lopsided loss so far this young campaign.
The Lyons now head south to Wesleyan for another shoddy tournament, this one called the Red and Black Classic. In the opening game, they will take on MASCAC powerhouse Westfield State, who, astonishingly enough, has fewer wins on the season than Wheaton does.
Editor's Note: Enjoy the big time Park Lodge title, and go get 'em at the Red and Black Classic, as these will likely be the only tournament setting games where you are likely to be competitive this season.
I will let you know that Elms was a NCAA team 2 years ago but they also have had a men's basketball team since 2002. Back when I was there we would travel 2 hours out to Springfield to watch most of the game from the bench because we were up 40 at half team.. And our team sucked
ReplyDeleteI am not even joking. When I saw Elms on the schedule, I assumed that the guys that live in the Elms house on campus put together an intramural team that Walms opted to scrimmage, and lose to.
ReplyDeleteIt was seriously news to me that Elms was an institution of higher learning.
