Wartburg looks to stay at the top of the Iowa Conference

The Wartburg men close out the first half of the Iowa Conference basketball race at home tonight against Dubuque and the Knights hope to keep first place Buena Vista in their sights. Wartburg is 6-2 in conference play, B-V is 8-0. Wartburg coach Dick Peth says someone is going to have to give them a battle at home or go on the road and beat them. Peth says that could happen as there’s a lot of parity this year. His team will be in search of their eighth straight win, which he says is surprising after losing four seniors. Peth matching up with Dubuque is tough as they have a lot of quickness.
