the best Division III Programs in the country. What is a secret is what makes them so good.

For this year's group, the answer may be the Rubik's Cube. Although the 3D puzzle game's

popularity reached its peak in the 1980s, six Wooster student athletes have rediscovered

the Rubik's Cube, and are having a blast solving it.

Matt: I actually learned how to do the Rubik's Cube in high school, and my freshman year

I brought it to the team. I was doing it on a road trip. Some of the guys took an interest

to it, and now it's a good hobby for the team.

Narrator: With academics and athletics taking up the majority time, the Rubik's Cube has

become a way for the teammates to wind down and bond. But, just like they strive to win

on the court, that same competitive spirit often times spills over to the Rubik's cube,

where each player has his own trick to solving the puzzle.

Nathan: Trick? If you know your algorithms, then you should be okay.

Ian: There's a lot of different patterns, so it takes a while to learn. Basically, one

step at a time and just keep practicing that step over and over and until you can add them

all together.

Narrator: The Rubik's Cube is just one of the many things that make Wooster's Men's

Basketball Program a special one. Since 2000, the Fighting Scots have put together a remarkable

stretch that has made them the winningest basketball program in the country during that

span. The team also plays in front of one of the largest home crowds in Division III,

with some games reaching over 3,000 in attendance.

Nathan: There's a lot of big universities out there that, you just don't get that same

kind of atmosphere. And I really like the small community, and I like the winning tradition

that we had here. So I just wanted to be a part of something big like that.

Narrator: While their on the court talent is unquestioned, there is much more to these

Wooster Student Athletes. Beyond their interest in the Rubik's Cube, each of these six is

unique in his academic pursuits.

I'm a major in Math, and a minor in Education.

I'm majoring in Philosophy.

My major is History.

I'm majoring in Communication Studies.

I'm majoring in Business Economics.

I'm a History major, and an Education minor.

Narrator: It's a tall task to excel in both in the classroom and on the court, but Wooster's

Men's Basketball Program continues to solve that puzzle.

Ian: Oh, it's been awesome. I couldn't ask for a better situation both academically and

with athletics. I love it here.
