  Hodge, who admitted to being nervous once he reached the podium, told stories of former players, golfing and losing in the 1989 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament, the first time ONU attended the tourney.

  Bronke played just seven minutes in the Tigers' 66-64 loss to St. Xavier and was described as doubtful for the game by Tigers coach Ralph Hodge on Monday.
  ...
  "It's sore and swollen, and he doesn't have a lot of movement, but there's no damage to the ligament," Hodge said.
  ...
  "St. Xavier picked up the pressure defensively and slowed the tempo offensively, and we weren't able to answer," Hodge said."We play half a game.We're not a 40-minute team right now."
  
  Backup point guards Dustin Rennewanz and Daniel Allen combined for five turnovers in just 18 minutes, which helped prompt Hodge to move freshman Cory Hainlen to point guard.

  ...
  "Yeah, and we had some 40 percent shooters (Paxson, son of former NBA player John Paxson, and Bronke) miss some threes, so I guess it all evens out," Hodge said.

  Olivet Nazarene University men's basketball coach Ralph Hodge was back on the sideline on Saturday night, albeit in a limited capacity, after spending three days in the hospital last week.
  
  Hodge, 54, was hospitalized early Wednesday morning after experiencing numbness on the left side of his body, Hodge said on Monday morning.He missed Olivet's game on Thursday night while undergoing a number of heart tests.
  
  Hodge's initial stress test came back positive, but further tests didn't reveal a problem.
  
  "The doctors said about 10 percent of stress tests come back a false-positive, and that's what it looks like it was," Hodge said.
  
  He said he's scheduled to have more tests in the coming weeks.
  
  Hodge has amassed 596 wins in 29 years as the Tigers' head coach.

  Last Saturday's 83-73 win over Indiana-South Bend was "a day in the dentist's chair" for Olivet Nazarene University men's basketball coach Ralph Hodge.

  Hodge is hoping for a similar result, but the Tigers will have to get off to a quicker start.
  
  "It doesn't get any bigger for us than this week," Hodge said.
  ...
  But Hodge believes his team can beat Robert Morris, which allowed a 22-point second-half lead to be cut to two by St. Xavier last Saturday.
  ...
  "They're great in the open floor, when they are getting one- and two-man opportunities," Hodge said.

  It wouldn't be far-fetched for Olivet coach Ralph Hodge to blame the loss on his squad's 55- percent effort from the free- throw line, but that was just one of several aspects that kept the team from handing Georgetown its first loss of the year.
  
  "It appears that free-throw shooting was one of our ills, but it was more than that in the second half," Hodge said.
  ...
  "I don't know if their pressure picked up more, but it wore us down," Hodge said.
  ...
  "We had some shots that just didn't go in," Hodge said.
