IWU vs Albion

Well, the final tune-up game. Today's game vs Albion is out-of-region, so quite frankly, it doesn't count for much at all...but I think it is important the Titans play very well. The Titans need to head into the CCIW schedule with some momentum -- the Hanover game was a start.

Albion has been one of the top programs in Division III over the course of the last four years:

(overall/MIAA records)

2005-06: 20-6/10-4
2004-05: 26-4/12-2
2003-04: 20-7/10-4
2002-03: 22-5/10-4

The MIAA is a good league, featuring D3 powers Hope and Calvin. The Britons are really down this year though. They come in 2-7 with two losses to CCIW teams. Elmhurst crushed them 76-46 and North Central, without All-American Anthony Simmons, beat Albion 69-58 two days ago. Hanover defeated the Britons 83-69.

The big story to follow is Andrew Gilmore and his knees. There is a chance he won't be able to play today. I just don't think IWU is a very good team without Andrew...at least until Sean Dwyer can return to play some point.

We will be on WJBC, AM-1230 at 12:45pm.
