Fresh off a thrilling road victory at Baldwin Wallace, the Marietta College men's basketball team returns home Wednesday, January 22, to face Capital University in another key Ohio Athletic Conference matchup. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. at Ban Johnson Arena.
The Pioneers (9-6, 3-5 OAC) look to build on Saturday's momentum-building 70-68 win over the Yellow Jackets as they welcome the Comets (5-10, 2-6 OAC) to the BanJo. Head coach Jon VanderWal's squad has an opportunity to string together consecutive conference victories and continue their climb up the OAC standings.
Capital enters Wednesday's contest looking to bounce back from a narrow 73-72 defeat against Otterbein. With both teams battling to improve their conference positioning, the mid-week clash promises to be another competitive OAC battle. Pioneer Nation can help provide the home-court advantage as Marietta aims for back-to-back conference wins.
