Dirty South,
        Do you know anything yet on what exactly happened to Baker? Will he be able to go this weekend?

DirytSouth,
      Rose-Hulman will give OU all they can handle? Oglethorpe won by 20! OU led the entire game! Rose-Hulman played hard and closed the lead to 3 at one point, but they just couldn't run with the Petrels, just like I predicted. Next time you want to pick a special; leave the upsets alone and go order breakfast at Denny's.
         
Congratulations to Rebekah Forsyth on breaking the SCAC rebounding

Thats why I'm saying that numbers are relative. In Dickinson's case it's extreme relativity. He shouldn't have to put his team in the top four because without him OU would be a non-factor. There is only one other guy on the team shooting over 30% from behind the arc on a team that is second in the conference in three pointers attempted. That's how much he is carrying them. Oglethorpe has the worst field goal percentage in the conference, but Dickinson got them to the tournament; that's relatively the same as putting another team in the top half. That field goal percentage also brings up the next point in Dickinson's case- he plays power forward. The guy's only 6'1", but is still among the tops of SCAC rebounders. I understand what you're saying about guys like Ross Burt being able to do more if asked, but you also have to consider the converse as well- how much more could Dickinson do if he had more help? Lastly, I have a problem with the leading scorer in the conference not making the first team, no matter who he plays for.

Dirty South,
    If you want to pick an upset special then have the backbone to make the Southwestern over Depauw pick instead of playing it safe in the first round. That being said, I have to adamantly disagree with your pick for the upset special. I know Forsyth didn't play in the regular season game, but

Carl,
    I agree with you that winning should be a big factor when choosing an all-conference team, but I also think that you have to look at winning from a relative perspective. OU may be the seventh seed, but they wouldn't have made the tournament at all without Dickinson. If you look at the degree to which Dickinson's play has influenced his team's winning percentage relative to some of the other players on that list then his case becomes even more convincing. Just my opinion

Congrats to Oglethorpe on their first win of the year. It took a while but the Petrels finally got one. I was at the games on Staurday and it is true that the weather was awful. The Petrels did play well however and, despite their record, I'm really impressed with the team. They've got some good young talent and if Oglethorpe can overcome its history of retention problems the Petrels could develop into a solid program. Chris Thompson is a good first baseman with a solid approach at the plate and freshman Brandon Steen's ability to get himself around the bases was impressive. The pitching looked solid and it was definately good to see some ERAs below six when I looked at the stats. If the Petrels keep up the positive work ethic that could cause some problems by the time conference play rolls around.
