Wheeler Finishes Fourth in the Classic

Wheeler lost 91-87 to Winter Park today in the Third-Place game of the City of Palms Classic. This was awesome exposure for Wheeler and NC State commit Richard Howell because they played today at 3pm on ESPNU. Wheeler unfortunately, along with Word of God, has fallen to .500 at 4-4 on the year. Richard finished the game with his third straight double-double with 18 points (8-15 FG) and 12 boards. He continued to struggle with foul trouble and fouled out of the game.

Richard Howell is averaging 18 ppg.

On a side note, Doc Rivers' (Boston Celtics Head Coach) son, Austin Rivers, dropped 46 points on Wheeler today! Let's consider the fact that he did this in a 32 minute high school basketball game.
