Despite being the number one seed, Norwich (17-6) faces an uphill battle tonight, on March 3, when it plays the boys basketball Class B’s 8th ranked Waverly Wolverines (22-1) at the Floyd L. Maines Veterans’ Memorial Arena.

Waverly upended the New York State honorable mentioned Seton Catholic Central Saints on Wednesday night in a palindrome on Waverly’s home court 73-37. This also happened to be the same Saints team that Norwich beat 69-61 on February 1. That being said, Waverly like Norwich struggled out of the gates during the Section IV quarterfinals, as the Wolverines beat the seventh seeded Chenango Valley Warriors 63-55.

The Wolverines had the hot hand against Seton Catholic, sinking 21 of 37 two point field goals for a 57 percent shooting percentage from inside the arc. Combine that with the hot 8 of 18 shots from three-point range for 45 percent, the Wolverines were rolling on all cylinders.
