The Bluffton University men’s basketball team fell victim to an Anderson University team that welcomed back HCAC-leading scorer Phil Hogan after missing the last month with a hand injury. Hogan missed 13 of his 17 shot attempts, but hit one that mattered, the game-winner as the buzzer sounded.
Although he was not in the starting lineup, Hogan played 37 of 40 minutes and handed out a game-high eight assists. The Beavers fell to 9-12 overall and 5-9 in the Heartland Conference, while Anderson improved to 9-12 and 5-9 in the HCAC.

January was a month of extreme temperatures, with a high of 64 and low of 4 degrees, according to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.
The month reached 64 degrees F twice, once on Jan. 13 and once on Jan. 30. There was a total of six days that reached 50 degrees or above in January and four of those days were above 60 degrees.
The low of four degrees was observed on Jan. 22.
This represents a 60 degree swing within one month. And it seems we are at the low end of any sort of swing now.
