Recapping OKWU's Successful Basketball Season
Brian McSweeney
Oklahoma Wesleyan men's basketball put together another successful season this year behind another 30-win campaign.
The Eagles returned a handful of impactful players from last year's team that played in the national championship game, but also lost two NAIA All-Americans in Jaden Lietzke and Derrick Talton, Jr. along with an all-conference standout in Dylan Philip.
Behind the 30 wins and 20 conference wins, OKWU pulled a few close ones out throughout the season. All of OKWU's losses, including their loss to Langston University in the round of 16 last week, was by three points or less. The Eagles won five games that were decided by one possession during the regular season.
The Eagles hit the 30 win mark for the second time in three years, including a 20-2 record in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC). They finished with an overall record of 30-4.
