Final Score:  Iowa Wesleyan University 88, Baptist Bible College 59
Location:  IWU (W.E. Dowell Fieldhouse) Mount Pleasant, Iowa
SPRINGFIELD, Missouri- The Patriots struggled mightily after Trent McBride left after only 4 minutes of playing time.  His injury continues to be a problem and the team was not able to pick up the slack inside once his presence was gone.  The Patriots took care of the ball for the most part, committing one fewer turnover than the Tigers, 14-13, but their shooting percentage was suspect and they had trouble stopping the inside game of the Tigers.  IWU outscored the Patriots 52-20 inside the paint for the contest.  The Tigers posted a 44-26 halftime advantage and then did not let up in the second half scoring another 44 points.  The Patriots did manage to shoot slightly better in the second half, but could never make enough stops to put a dent in the deficit. 
HIGHLIGHTS

• Nick Coble netted 21 Points to lead the team in scoring.   
• Lawson Beem pulled down 6 Rebounds to lead the way.
• Beem dished out 5 Assists to lead the team.
• Three players shared by making 1 steal to lead the squad.
• Other players in double figure scoring were Lawson Beem 10.
