  • Vs. Carthage College (0-0) Saturday, January 23 at the Tarble Arena in Kenosha, Wis
    MILLIKIN UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL RELEASE Millikin Big Blue (0-0) Vs. Carthage College (0-0) Saturday, January 23 at the Tarble Arena in Kenosha, Wis. at 2 p.m. Monday, January 25 at the Griswold Center in Decatur, Ill. at 6 p.m. GAME NOTES The Millikin men’s basketball team is thrilled at the chance to return to a competitive season as they open the season with two games against Carthage College. Due to the COVID-19 protocols, the schedule will look a little different this season playing only 12 games against conference opponents. In an effort to limit travel across the league and control testing costs, Millikin will only play six of the eight College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) schools and will play everyone twice. Most of those match-ups will be on a home and away format and only separated by one off day. Unfortunately, no spectators will be allowed at attend any CCIW games including those played at Millikin. Head Coach Mark Scherer is in his fourth season leading the Big Blue. Scherer believes this year’s team is his hardest working most physical team. “They are strong, smart, tough and together” adds Scherer. The Big Blue will emphasis team unity, defense and rebounding, but Scherer knows they will have to take care of the basketball to be successful in the CCIW. “Individually and as a group we are tremendously excited to be playing after the challenges of COVID” said Scherer. “We are pumped to compete in the CCIW and our goal is to make a deep run in the CCIW Tournament in March.” Millikin returns four of its five starters from last year lead by junior Calvin Fisher who averaged 14 points and six rebounds per game a year ago.
