Today we continue the countdown of the Top 10 moments of the 2017-2018 school year at Central College with number seven.
The Dutch men’s basketball team, seeded sixth in the six-team Iowa Conference tournament, gave regular season champion Nebraska Wesleyan everything they wanted in the league title game on February 24th, with the Prairie Wolves eventually prevailing 82-78.
Central, which had won two road games earlier in the week, took a 38-35 lead into halftime in Lincoln, then opened up a 63-45 advantage with 10:54 remaining.
But Nebraska Wesleyan finished the game on a 37-15 run to win the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA tournament, where they went on to win the Division III National Championship.
