BRANSON, MO—The NAIA DII ninth ranked Indiana Wesleyan University’s men’s basketball team started the first leg of their two day trip to Point Lookout, Missouri for the NAIA DII National Tournament Sunday afternoon. Leaving the parking lot of the Recreation and Wellness Center at 2 p.m., the Wildcats watched some game film before reclining into their seats for the long trip to St. Louis. The team arrived at their hotel in St. Louis around 8 p.m. and then held a team meeting before reporting to bed at 10:30 p.m. curfew. The Wildcats spent the next morning practicing at Saint Louis University. IWU’s red practice jerseys clashed against the Billiken blue that covered the bleachers, walls, and court in the St. Louis practice facility. The team arrived at Comfort Inn in Branson, Missouri around 6:30 p.m. where they will spend the night relaxing before getting up early for practice Tuesday morning. The Wildcats will play their first round game Thursday morning at 8.30 against Aquinas College (MI).
