Wittenberg Captures 7th NCAC Tournament Title - Mar 1, 2018

For the first time since 2006, and the seventh time overall, Wittenberg (26-2) captured the NCAC Men's Basketball Tournament title following an 82-70 win over Ohio Wesleyan (19-9) on Saturday afternoon at Pam Evans Smith Arena in Springfield, Ohio. As tournament champions, the Tigers have also earned the NCAC's automatic bid into the NCAA Div. III Men's Basketball Tournament for the 35th time in history.
Ohio Wesleyan led by as many as 11 in the first half, before Wittenberg was able to erase the deficit and grab a 14-point lead of their own in the second half. The Tigers recorded 26 assists on 38 of their field goal attempts. Wittenberg out rebounded the Bishops 43-33 and held a 62-30 edge on points in the paint. The Tigers held OWU to just 38.6 percent from the field, while shooting nearly 54 percent from the floor in the championship win.
After notching his fourth double-double of the season in the championship game with 28 points and 10 rebounds, Wittenberg sophomore Connor Seipel (6'6''-F) (Columbus, OH/Groveport, Madison) collected the Al Van Wie award as the tournament MVP. In the three tournament games combined, Seipel scored 53 points after shooting 78 percent (25-of-32) from the field and pulled down 20 rebounds.
Joining Seipel on the 2018 NCAC Men's Basketball All-Tournament Team was senior teammate Chad Roy (6'10''-F/C) (Toledo, OH/Holland Springfield)), Ohio Wesleyan senior guard Nate Axelrod (5'7''-PG) (Dublin, OH/Coffman), Ohio Wesleyan senior guard Seth Clark (6'3''-G) (Lewis Center, OH/Olentangy), Wooster senior forward Alex Baptiste (6'7''-F) (Allonnes, France/Wasatch Academy (UT)) and Denison senior guard Garrett Collier (6'2''-G) (McLean, VA/Langley).
