Living on a prayer. Senior guard Stevi Schultz throws up a prayer during the

Washburn Lady Blues’ 64-62 victory against the University of Central Missouri

Jennies in the second round of the MIAA Tournament. The Lady Blues won

the regular season and MIAA Tournament titles and hosted the South Central

Region of the NCAA Division II Tournament as a No. 1 seed, only to lose in the

second round to “Turnpike Tussle” rival Emporia State in the 200th game of

the series between the two schools.

Ichabods impressive in MIAA Tournament

The Washburn Ichabod basketball team may have been co-champions of the MIAA during the regular season, but this past weekend they

proved they were the best team in the MIAA. The Bods pressured their way to the MIAA conference tournament title at beautiful Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.

Although the MIAA tournament may have been in Missouri, the Bods had to go through Kansas to win it. Washburn had to defeat three Kansas schools to cut down the nets.

“I’m excited for them,” said Washburn head basketball coach Bob Chipman.” It’s all about them.”

No. 1-seeded Washburn got pitted against No. 8 seeded Emporia State University in the first round. After a dismal first half performance the Bods were able to pull away in the second half for a 67-51 win.

“They gave us more than what we wanted in the first half,” said Chipman. “I thought they totally out hustled us in the first half.”

Washburn got on a 10-0 run midway through the first half after sophomore guard Jared Henry nailed a trey. ESU struggled with Washburn’s man to man defense. The Ichabods pick-pocketed the Hornet guards as seven of their 19 turnovers came in the first half.

“Defense is going to win us games,” said junior guard Will McNeil. “We knew we had to put our big boy shoes on.”

Washburn failed to close out the first half, allowing Emporia to climb back in it. The Bods gave up nine offensive rebounds while shooting an abysmal 1-9 from behind the arc and went into the locker room tied at 26. McNeill struggled to score in the first half only scoring six points. McNeill found his groove in the second half in route to a game-high 27 points.

ESU was unable to handle the faster Washburn

whose defense was just suffocating.“Great defensive game for us in the second half,”

said Chipman.Junior guard Martin Mitchell nailed a trey with

14:19 left to give Washburn a 41-38 lead. McNeill hit the next two shots followed by another Mitchell three pointer causing an eleven point swing. The 11-0 run with a little over half the game still left seemed to be the turning point. The Bods commanded the lead for the rest of the game, slowly pulling away from their instate rivals. Despite losing the rebound battle by four boards, Washburn shot much better the second half and continued to play solid defense.

The Bods advance to the second round to face the No. 5-seeded Tigers of Fort Hays State University. The Tigers were able to hang in the first half, only trailing by two at halftime 31-29. Washburn shot a solid 46 percent from the field but gave up five Tiger three-pointers in the first half.

Washburn jumped on Fort Hays early in the second half. The Bods put together a seven minute run of 15-2, knocking down six of their seven shots from the field to stretch their lead to 15. FHSU was unable to catch up as they lost to the Ichabods 67-54.

“I have great respect for Hays,” said Chipman. “I thought they fought hard and gave us a good game. Great team win.”

McNeill stole the show, scoring a game-high 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting. Washburn shot 62 percent in the second half while holding FHSU to only 30 percent. Junior forward Bobby Chipman pulled down seven rebounds to lead the team as Washburn out-rebounded the Tigers 36-23 to advance into the MIAA championship game against the surprising No. 7-seeded Pittsburg State Gorillas.
