Millikin @ IWU, etc.

This game is dangerous. It's sandwiched between matchups vs #18 (Carthage) and #14 (Elmhurst). And Millikin has a lot of talent -- sophomore guard Drew Gensler is probably the second best backcourt player in the CCIW (behind Wheaton's Kent Raymond) and 6-6 senior Korte Long is one the league's most athletic players. Millikin has had two very good recruiting classes in a row and Tim Littrell's program is probably in better shape than any time in the last 10 years. The Big Blue will come to the Shirk Center looking for a win tonight.

The latest D3hoops.com poll has 4 CCIW teams in the top 25 and an amazing 6 receiving votes. The league is really fun to watch this year -- seems there are multiple marquis matchups every Wednesday and Saturday.

Finally, congratuations to Mia Smith's team. The IWU women won by 19 @ perennial league powerhouse Millikin last night to improve to 12-1 overall and 2-0 in the CCIW. The women play @ Elmhurst Saturday at 5:00pm, before the men's game. It'd be great if everyone planning to attend the 7:30 game would get there at 5:00 to support the 12-1 Titans.
