The Matchup

The Central West Virginia rivalry will be renewed again on Wednesday night, when the Bobcats host Glenville State at the Rockefeller Center. The Bobcats are losers of their last two, but the Pioneers have dropped their four games, so neither team is currently playing at their highest level this season. The two teams are also neighbors in the Mountain East Conference standings, as the Pioneers sit tied for fifth at 10-8, and the Bobcats are in seventh at 8-10. In their last meeting, Glenville State won easily on their home floor, controlling the game with their pace and perimeter shooting. They are led by one of the MEC's top players, Phil Bledsoe, averaging 20.0 points per game.

The Seniors

Wesleyan will honor four seniors on Wednesday night, Clay Todd, Dusan Vicentic, Marcus Larsson, and Luka Petrovic. This group has not only made a significant impact on the floor in the orange and black, but in the classroom and within the campus community as well. Their accomplishments will be shared and celebrated in a ceremony ten minutes before the start of the game on Wednesday night. Todd, Vicentic, and Petrovic are three of the top four scorers for Coach Nick Patella this season, and Larsson has provided energy and hustle off the bench, also scoring a career-high fifteen points against this Glenville State team earlier this season.
