TWTW D3: Whitewater Whitewashes Mount Union Again

((HT: WISC-TV Madison))

Levell Coppage ran for 299 yards and three touchdowns and Wisconsin-Whitewater forced five turnovers and shut out Mount Union in the second half to win its second consecutive NCAA Division III football national championship 31-21.

Of the last fifteen titles in D3, Mount Union has 10, but Whitewater has three of the last four- surprising no one that Mount Union was the opponent in those games...

The HQ thinks they'll meet again in Salem, Virginia for the foreseeable future unless they juggle the playoff brackets...

Here's your highlights...

Grinnell College Plays Bombs Away, Sets NCAA Record With 19 Players Hit 3 Pointers

The cords will burn whenever Grinnell College and Faith Baptist Bible College battle on the hardwood. Back on November 23rd the Pioneers and the Eagles faced off with Grinnell, an NCAA Division III school, winning 137-103.

It was a record breaker for the Pioneers, 19 players made 3-point baskets. 19!!.

Poor Tyler Brotz, he was the only Grinnell player that couldn't hit for 3-point range going 0-6.

“I like this one, because so many people were involved,Grinnell coach David Arseneault said in the Des Moines Register. “It’s awesome. I have a feeling that this is one record that will stand for a very long time.”

Grinnell was up 88-38 at halftime and coach Arseneault told his team to keep launching and go for the record.

“Nobody in the stands knew what we were doing,Arseneault said. “There were times when someone would have a wide-open layup and then just dribble past the basket and pass the ball out. People were looking at us like, 'What is he doing?’”

Those of us at the OSG HQ are wondering "Where's the defense."
