Ichabods face Northwest tonight
January 27, 2010
The Washburn Ichabods (10-8, 4-7) will take on the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats (9-9, 4-7) tonight at 7:30 in Lee Arena.
The last home game before a two-game roadtrip, the Ichabods will once again look to the MIAA’s third-highest scorer, junior forward De’Andre Washington, to lead them to victory. Washington, who averages 18.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, was one of two players to achieve a double-double in Saturday’s 60-49 win against Nebraska-Omaha with 19 points and 12 rebounds. The other, sophomore guard William McNeill, had 16 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guard Maurice Colter also scored in double digits with 13 points.
The Bearcats have a pair of standouts, as well, with junior forward Elijah Allen averaging 17.3 points per game and senior guard Girod Adams averaging 16.5 points and 4.1 assists per game.
Adams, a Topeka West graduate, made his way to Northwest Missouri State through Cloud County Community College and Stephen F. Austin, though he was born in Grafenwohr, Germany.
Washburn is currently ranked seventh in the MIAA, and has nine games left until the MIAA tournament.
