Their tests are all over, and tonight, the Central men’s and women’s basketball teams get back to business inside the gym with a doubleheader in St. Louis against Webster. The Gorlok women enter with a 5 – 4 mark and have stayed in games thanks to a stingy defense that has allowed a little under 62 points per game and has held opponents to 36% shooting from the field. Central’s defense has been even less generous, as they’ve allowed 50 points per game. Webster and Central’s men each have six wins, and they have some common opponents on their schedule. The Gorloks have beaten Loras in overtime earlier this year, as well as Westminster a few weeks ago. Coach Craig Douma says tonight will be a “pop quiz” for the Iowa Conference schedule. Central will look to stop Ahmad Smith, who is averaging almost 18 points a game through nine affairs. The women’s game comes first tonight, with tip-off scheduled for six.
