Recap

With the Rockefeller Center packed full of fans, family, and friends, the Wesleyan seniors put on a show. They combined for 65 of the Bobcats 90 points in the 90-70 victory over Glenville State. Dusan Vicentic and Luka Petrovic arguably had their best game together in their four-year careers in the orange and black. Vicentic was efficient from the field, shooting 54.5% on his twenty-seven points, also adding nine rebounds. Petrovic was a single rebound and assist away from a triple-double, finishing with twenty-four points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. Those nine assists will add to his Mountain East Conference-leading 5.7 assists per game. He also was a pest defensively on Wednesday night, totaling six steals for the second time in a week. In the second half, it was Marcus Larsson who stole the show by making three of his four three-pointers, igniting the crowd that was there to celebrate the Swedish senior's career. Besides the offense outburst from the seniors, this was one of the best defensive performances of the year for Coach Nick Patella's squad. They held Glenville State over twenty points under their scoring average, and kept the Pioneers under 40% from the field, and under 30% from behind the arc.

What's Next

Wesleyan will have a great opportunity to make things interesting late in the season on Saturday. With a win at Concord, and Glenville and/or Wheeling loss(es), all three teams could be tied for the fifth spot in the MEC with a week left on the schedule.
Glenville State will be heavily favored on Saturday when they host Davis & Elkins, but the Pioneers did lose in Elkins earlier this season.
