The journey ended one step too soon. The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Titans men’s basketball team fought until the final buzzer, but were ultimately out- dueled by Nebraska Wesleyan University 78-72 in the NCAA Division-III National Championship game Saturday. The Titans made a title-game record 17 three-pointers, led by junior guard Ben Boots’ six shots from behind the arc. Boots talked about the mentality he and the team had going into the champion- ship game. “As a group, we came together and said we were going to do our best to play this like a regular game,” Boots said. “Obvious- ly, it’s far from that but I think we were able to collect ourselves and treat it like that Photo by Tom Ekvall once the game got going.” Members of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh basketball team stand with their mascot last Wednesday before traveling to Salem, Mass., for the Nebraska displayed its traditional 3-2 NCAA Division III Final Four. defense, which opened up shooting lanes early for UW-Oshkosh.
