Wetzell on the move - latest college wrap
NCAA Division I college basketball doesn’t take much of a break over the festive period with most teams having games scheduled immediately prior to Xmas and either side of the New Year. Here we take a look at how the Harbour players have fared in the past week as they build up to that busy stage of the season.
Yanni Wetzell received an early Xmas present. Accorded more court time than he has been receiving in the early games for Vanderbilt University he responded with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks as the Commodores convincingly beat #18 Arizona State 81-65. The win improves the Vanderbilt record to 7-2.
