2003-04 big blue basketball - 6 looking at 2003-04 After finishing the 2002-03 season with a 7-18 overall record and a 2-12 record in College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW), the 2003-04 Big Blue men's basketball team is looking to move up in the league standings after tying for seventh last year. With four seniors and two juniors with considerable minutes returning, head coach Tim Littrell should put a talented group on the floor and have plenty of depth off the bench. Littrell and the Big Blue lose only two players this season, but both were solid contributors. Graduate Tim Tolle (12.1 ppg, 5.7 rpg) was an all-around threat, despite missing a significant portion of the season with an injury. Also missing from the lineup will be Brett Williams (5.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg), who finished the season as a strong presence in the post. But Littrell's returners bring a lot of experience to the floor. The Big Blue should get plenty of minutes and strong leadership from its four capable seniors - Kevin Causley (6.4 ppg, 5.2 rpg), Rob Klemm, Arian Rios (6.5 ppg, 3.6 rpg) and Phil Schneider (11.5 ppg, 5.0 rpg). Junior guards Chuck Williams (10.8 ppg, 2.9 rpg) and Jason Fisher (12.2 ppg, 2.3 rpg) also return. Williams and Fisher have spent more time on the floor than most college juniors and with Rios also returning at guard, Littrell returns a very confident group of ball handlers and good perimeter shooting threats. The guards' experience against quality competition and composure under pressure will be a key component to the team's success, and the out- side shooting threat will help open up the Big Blue's offense. Schneider returns in the post after playing the majority of last season with a knee injury while Klemm returns after missing his junior season to study abroad. "Phil will be a key contributor. His being healthy will allow him to do what he couldn't do last year and with Klemm's size, his body allows him to do some things that other ath- letes just can't do," Littrell said. Several other players also return after seeing time a year ago including junior Adam Russell (1.2 ppg, 1.1 rpg) and sophomores Reid Jones (4.0 ppg. 1.6 rpg), Lance Brooks (5.0 ppg, 2.8 rpg) and David Winikates (1.1 ppg, 1.0 rpg). A handful of freshmen could also filter into the mix in for- wards Korte Long and Mike Gavic and guard Bryon Graven. Littrell describes Long and Gavic as "very physical, strong freshmen" and Graven "really understands the game-he's a quick learner and makes quick decisions under pressure." Long joins the Big Blue after helping his high school team to a third-place finish in the Class A State Tournament, earn- ing IBCA All-State third team honors and averaging 16.7 ppg. Gavic averaged a double-double (15.9 ppg, 11.1 rpg) as a senior and Graven earned All-State first team honors after averaging 20.4 ppg. While he expects his offense to put plenty of points on the board, how the defense responds will be crucial to the out- come of the games. With plenty of talent back and a solid group of freshmen, the Big Blue just has to put all the pieces together. And playing against the top teams in one of the best basketball conferences in the country can only help strengthen Littrell's squad. "The CCIW is one of the best leagues in the country for basketball in terms of NCAA appearances and tournament finishes. We know the level of competition and how tough the games are day in and day out," Littrell said. "One of the perks of being in this league is that you know every night you're playing one of the best Division III teams in the country."

The Big Blue men christened the new facility with a 108-77 victory over Grinnell on Dec. 1, 1970. The men also won the basketball program’s 1,000th game at Griswold Center, a 67-54 victory over North Central on Jan. 11, 1995. Three regulation-size basketball courts are located in the fieldhouse por- tion of the building, which is 114 by 192 feet. The original Tartan surface was replaced by a maple floor in 1989. Seating for 4,080 spectators is available on motor-driven retractable bleachers. Griswold Center also houses a six- lane swimming pool, classrooms, offices, dressing rooms and a training room. The building is named to recognize the gift of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Griswold. Mr. Griswold was a member of the class of 1923 and a former University trustee.

2003-04 big blue basketball - 23 big blue athletic facilities Griswold Physical Education Center Griswold Center is perfect for the intercollegiate athlete or intramu- ral player. The Center provides a gymnasium to seat 4,000, a run- ning track and three regulation-size basketball courts. Millikin hosts several high school tournaments and games including the annual IHSA Class A Girls and Boys Supersectionals. The men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball and men’s wrestling teams also compete in Griswold Center’s gym and its six- lane McIntosh Pool is home to the Big Blue men’s and women’s swim teams. The building also houses classrooms, staff offices, athletic training facilities and locker rooms. Just north of Griswold Center, Millikin’s track & field teams take advantage of 1997 renovations that included an eight-lane, all-weather track. The USATF Youth Athletic Championships were held on the track in both 2000 and 2001 and Millikin also hosted the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships in 2001. Several Big Blue teams make use of off- campus facilities. The men’s and women’s tennis teams play and practice at the Fairview Park Tennis Complex, located just across the street from campus. The men’s and women’s golf teams frequent the city’s three golf courses while the Big Blue baseball program calls Sunnyside Park home. The softball team plays its home games at Borg-Warner Sports Complex while the cross country teams do most of their training at Fairview Park on the paved, grass and dirt trails that trace the historic Interurban Railway. The trails lead through Kiwanis Park to the Macon County Conservation District Bikeway to the Rock Springs Environmental Center. The men’s and women’s soccer teams play their home schedule at Stephen Decatur Middle School and also make use of Fairview Park’s spacious areas for practices.
