Trust me, the irritation is widespread.

If you want to keep from getting irritated read the Holland Sentinel they're not covering the Hope coaching story.

Real information has come from this board.  Hoopdreams has supplied some of it.
I appreciate his contribution.   

Hoopdreams has made up as much info as he has supplied.  Reader beware.

Agreed.

Trust me, the irritation is widespread.

Incidentally, are any of you MIAAers making your way over to our side of the lake next weekend? I'll be there for Friday night's games, and would like to say hi to any of you that show up.

I will be there, and look forward to seeing you again.  I would love to see an MIAA sweep, but expect to leave with both teams 1-1.

Erm and I will be there as well.

I can run faster scared than she can angry.

But can you run faster than she can throw? My wife has a cannon.

and I was a soccer player...

Also happening downtown on this Saturday at noon is the St Patricks Day parade.  The Curragh will have live music starting around 11:30 all day long and will be ridiculously busy.  If you're up for a late night, check out The Green Room playing at 11pm...very fun band.

Unfortunately traveling is not in the budget this year...we'll be staying home to cheer for our men's team....we can walk to the fieldhouse...much cheaper

In case anyone was wondering about tickets.  Page 19 of the tournament manual explains it all.

http://www.ncaa.org/library/handbooks/basketball/2008/2008_d3_m_basketball_handbook.pdf

Hope will get 1/2 and the other half must be split 3 ways  (approx 550 each) for the Friday night  games.   I imagine OWU, Wheaton and esp. Whitworth will return alot of tickets.

From the Hope website:

SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT UPDATE
Flying Dutchmen Will Host;
Flying Dutch Headed to Texas

Hope's basketball teams got their marching orders for the next round of NCAA Division III championship play today. The Flying Dutchmen will host a four-team Sectional tournament at DeVos Fieldhouse on Friday and Saturday while the Flying Dutch will be headed to Brownwood, Texas for their Sectional.

Joining the Flying Dutchmen will be Ohio Wesleyan (22-7), Wheaton, Ill. (21-7) and Whitworth, Wash. (21-6). Friday's doubleheader will pit Wheaton against Whitworth at 6 p.m., followed by Hope against Ohio Wesleyan (8 p.m.). The Sectional championship game will be played Saturday at 7 p.m. Ticket information will be announced on Monday.

The Flying Dutch will be playing their 13th straight NCAA tournament game on the road when they travel to the campus of Howard Payne College. On Friday the Flying Dutch (29-0) will play George Fox, Oregon (25-4) while host Howard Payne (also 29-0) will play DeSales, Pa. (26-3). The Sectional championship game will be played Saturday. Game times and ticket sale plans have not been announced.

I hear the HP WHO chants and the "Horrid Payne" or whatever else you can call HPU and it doesn't bother me.  I wouldn't like it if our fans were doing the same thing towards another teams player.

Go Jackets!  Win it all!

I think that the crowd will least affect Hope College.  Those ladies will just go into "Calvin mode".

works for me...

Jan 9    Hope 56 Calvin 39
Feb 9   Hope 66 Calvin 58

put us in "Calvin mode" anytime.

Sentinel calls Kopke "questionable" for Round One.  No specific mention of what the injury is but encouraging to me that they are not saying out for the whole tourney.

You beat me to it but I was just about to guess Kopke as well.  I was really HOPEing it wasn't her.  She's been a great leader and defensive spark for the second team.

here's the link to ticket and time info:

Just found this blurb on the Sentinel website:

Flying Dutchmen lead nation in margin of victory

The Hope College men's basketball team is winning on average by more points than anyone in NCAA Division III.

The Flying Dutchmen, who play Alma College Saturday night at DeVos Fieldhouse, credit their defense and their versatility for how successful they're being.

Read more Saturday in The Sentinel, online and in print.

I picked Albion to win this game but never imagined they would turn the tables on Calvin and win at the buzzer.  Wish I could have been there but the video was sweet enough.  Kudos to #44 Farr for shaking hands with Calvin after digging out from the pile (of fans rushing the floor  ).  HOPE-ing others followed suit but that it just didn't get caught on the video.
