DPU men move on to semifinal

It took two overtimes to take care of Wittenberg, but the DePauw men's basketball team advanced to the final four of the North Coast Athletic Conference Wednesday, downing the visitors 79-75.

Sophomore guard Luke Lattner came off the bench to score 26 and lead DePauw (17-9) to victory.

Tommy Fernitz finished with 18, while Bob Dillon added 10.

Fernitz also pulled down 12 rebounds for DePauw.

With the win, DePauw advances to the semi-finals of the NCAC tournament at Ohio Wesleyan Friday, where it will take on the top-seeded Battling Bishops (22-4) at 8:30 p.m. Second-seeded Wooster (21-5) will take on No. 3 seed Wabash (18-8) in the 5:30 p.m. opener.

The two winners will face off in the 7 p.m. NCAC Championship Game on Saturday.

All three games take place at Branch Rickey Arena on the Ohio Wesleyan Campus in Delaware, Ohio.
