IVCC men’s basketball team struggled to finish the season strong towards the end of the month.
After compiling an 8-22 record through the regular season, the team played hard for the names on their jersey and pride as they just fell short of the regional competition.
Ahmir Woods leads the team averaging 16.1 PPG on 48.3% from the field and 35.9% from deep, a solid shooting season from the freshman guard from Milwaukee.
Following Woods in points is freshman forward Ameer Anderson (11.3 PPG on 44.5%) and freshman guard Robert Bellinger (10.6 PPG on 40.2%).
The three lead the team in accumulative minutes played and games started. Another freshman who is also having a solid year, Joshua Mbick leads the team in rebounds alongside of Anderson (6.3) which may go unnoticed but is crucial for the team.
Mbick when referring to the season, remarked, “Very challenging season, we went on quite a few losing streaks. We were a pretty undersized team which caused some issues however I believe we fought hard against some top teams and were able to hang around at times but unfortunately it wasn’t enough.”
The Eagles finished the season 8-22 hoping to improve into next year with the young roster.
