LWC Men's, Womens Basketball open MSC schedule on Sat., here Teams face Pikeville College By Chris Wells, LWC Sports Information Director COLUMBIA, KY - The journey through a Mid-South Conference basketball season is always tough. But when 71 percent of your players, entering Saturdays game with Pikeville (KY) College, will play against MSC competition for the first time, well, that can be down right daunting. The Lindsey Wilson College womens team sends eight newcomers onto the court for their Saturday, January 17, 2009, 2:00pmCT tip with the Lady Bears and nine LWC men play in their first conference game with a 4:00pmCT tip-off. Only four women and three men who will don the Lindsey Wilson blue and white have been through the battles of the Mid-South Conference. The rest will soon learn the difference in what they currently know and what they have been told. Coach John B. Wethington leads his Blue Raider women into Saturdays game fresh off back-to-back MSC regular season crowns. But gone is the luxury of a veteran club that won the programs first-ever national championship game last season; replaced with youthful, yet talented exuberance looking for three straight conference titles. The Blue Raiders (14-4) enter Saturdays game winners of two straight, including an 89-55 trouncing of Midway (KU) College on Thursday night. They welcome a Lady Bear team (13-5, 0-1 in the MSC) who dropped their MSC opener to visiting Campbellsville (KY) University 79-56 on Thursday. The game will feature the top two rebounding teams in the Mid-South Conference and a pair of former MSC Players of the Week in Lindsey Wilson center Viktoria Krell and Pikeville center Natiera Hinton. Krell ranks third in the MSC in scoring (17.6 points per game) and second in rebounding (10.3), while Hinton leads the conference in scoring (20.3) and is fifth in rebounding (8.0). Lindsey Wilson leads the all-time series 32-14, including 20-3 at Biggers Sports Center. The Blue Raiders have won nine straight in the series and 12 of 13. After finishing just 3-7 in the MSC a season ago and getting bumped in the opening round of the conference tournament, the Lindsey Wilson men look to regain the swagger that helped the program capture the 2004-05 regular season and tournament titles.The Blue Raiders (13-2) are once again nationally ranked -- No. 18 in the latest NAIA Coaches Poll -- and enter with high hopes of making a return trip to Kansas City and the NAIA National Tournament.Lindsey Wilson escaped an 81-77 double overtime thriller against Brescia (KY) University on Tuesday and will now face a Bear team thats won two in row and seven of their last nine. Pikeville (12-5, 1-0) beat Campbellsville 71-62 on Thursday in its MSC opener. Coach Paul Peck will need his stingy defense -- which ranks in the top seven in the NAIA in field goal defense, scoring defense and blocks -- to contain the third ranked scoring offense (89.8 points per game) in the NAIA. The Blue Raiders lead the all-time series 30-17 and 16-5 at home, but have dropped the last two games to the Bears, including a 76-69 loss last season in the conference tournament. Lindsey Wilson has won seven in a row at home dating back to the 2000-01 season. The women tip-off the doubleheader at 2:00pmCT on Saturday with the mens game to follow.
