It’s somewhat sad to see the season come to an end for IWU men’s basketball team. It’s not so much that they lost the game but rather a matter of knowing that this very special season for them has come to a close. This group has been a joy to cover for WIWU TV and this tournament experience was truly that. The guy’s played hard and gave great effort, however the Pioneers of Mid-America Nazarene were just too much.
We’ll miss Joel, Eugene, Jared, Lance, and Brandon. These five seniors, each in their own way, helped lead the Wildcats to the most successful season in the history of IWU men’s basketball. Their accomplishments are worth repeating: most wins in school history (30); most wins in conference play (14); first ever conference regular season championship; and first appearance in the national championship tournament. Not only will these guys be missed on the court, we’ll miss them as members of the campus community.
So now we pack up our gear and head to Sioux City, IA to join our colleagues to track the Lady ‘Cats as they make their first ever Final Four appearance. What an incredible season they have had! Now matter how it finishes, just like the guys, we are extremely proud of them and what they represent.
For now we say "so long Branson." Thanks for a great experience. Oh, before we go though…we look forward to being back next year.
