IN HIS OWN WORDS

Why IWU...

I chose IWU because of the culture. I wanted to grow in my faith and be apart of a winning program.

IAm3 is...

All about putting God first in all we do. Then it is about being selfless and putting others before yourself.

Fearless is...

Not worrying about making mistakes. The coaching staff instills confidence in each of us to play this way.

The IWU coaching staff is...

Amazing. They care deeply about our personal lives, not just about basketball. They show great leadership on how men of Christ should live.
