DWU vs Northwestern

Second to last game of the regular season for the Tigers tomorrow. They travel to Orange City, Iowa to take on Northwestern. Northwestern is very young (their 3 leading scorers are a sophomore and 2 freshman) and they have not enjoyed as much success this year as they have in the past, being just a few games over .500. However, the game is in Northwestern which a young team will obviously play much better at home, maybe not having the experience to play well on the road. They are also, when they are on, probably one of the two most explosive offensives in the GPAC (the other being Hastings, but we'll deal with that when it gets here). DWU will have to have a great defensive effort just like they did last time these two teams met in mid-January. Whoever is guarding Walker Seim cannot let him get going as he can catch fire very fast and have a dozen points in minutes. DWU has to make somebody other than him beat them. Van Kalsebeek is a force to be reckoned with on the inside and is leading their team averaging over 19 points a game. Offensively, DWU has to do what I've been saying the whole time, go inside first before outside. When DWU doesn't shoot too many 3's, they are hard to beat. As for those of you who cannot make it to the game, I suggest turning the radio onto Tim Smith while watching the webcast at this link:
