| ZOOM |Martin was practically in tears as he embraced his coach and teammates at midcourt. He went to the bench and covered his head with a white towel a couple minutes before tipoff, dabbing at his eyes.
UC also noted the contributions of senior manager Scott Wilhoit, who spent five years with the basketball team and also two seasons with the football program.
Wilhoit, 23, is from Anderson Township and will graduate with a degree in exercise physiology.
SLIPPERY WHEN WET: The game was held up for four minutes in the first half to wipe down the court after several UC players slipped and complained. Saint Louis players twice got called for traveling when they slipped in the second half.
