Unfortunately for Central, third time was the charm for the Wartburg men’s basketball team, as they edged the Dutch in the Tulip City on Tuesday, 77 – 71, in round one of the league tourney. Central was down 23 – 5 at about the midway point of the first half, before storming back to begin the second 20 minutes. The lead changed hands 11 times in the final two-plus minutes before the Knights closed the contest on an 8 – 1 run to advance in the Iowa Conference tournament. Central ends their season 15 – 11 overall, and lose five seniors from the varsity team.
