Well, we got one last weekend against Rose-Hulman.  Luckily for us, Rose-Hulman's offense was perhaps the most stagnant offense I have ever seen from that team.  Basically, they passed the ball to Munchie and then stood around to watch what would happen.  Thus, allowing our defense to key on their best player.  I was really expecting more from them.  Anyway, as far as this weekend goes, I am predicting a Sewanee win over a Trinity team that, basically, has the conference locked up and is looking forward to the SCAC tournament and/or Centre.  Thus, we go to the conference tournament as both Rhodes and Hendrix are playing teams that are desperate to improve their tournament seed and will be playing hard.  I hope it is a good weekend for those attending the games.

Thanks for the response.  Unfortunately, you are probably right.  Rose-Hulman always play great defense and I think Muskeyvalley, based on previous years, is one of the better players in the conference and DePauw is typically pretty tough and they may be motivated as we beat them pretty bad in Sewanee last year.  All that said, I'll be hoping for a different result. 

I haven't seen either of the Indiana teams this year.  So, I was wondering what anyone thought of the chances of Sewanee getting a win or two this weekend? 

Also, is there a particular team (outside of Southwestern and/or Trinity) that seem especially dangerous in the SCAC tournament?

This is my first post as I graduated in May and I played four years, obviously, at Sewanee.  Anyway, this season is typical of the past several Sewanee seasons: seasons that begin brightly and then fade as a blight of injuries sets in.  This season, Chris Eddy, the team's catalyst and best player, has played in just two games: in the first, he played five minutes before reinjuring his hamstring and, then in the Oglethorpe game, he had to be stretched and ride on the bike before reentering the game.  Furthermore, Ben Campbell injured his knee in Indiana and had to have his knee tightly taped and braced, which significantly reduced his mobility.  As it is, Sewanee is relying on a talented but very young group of players and ignoring the impact that a healthy Eddy and Campbell could have on this team is naive at best.

In my opinion, it is quite rash to say, after a single win, "You can [throw] that "Tough to beat on top of the mountain" stuff right out the window!!"  It was an anomaly and should be characterized as befits its nature.  An anomaly that was furthered helped by lingering injuries to, arguably, Sewanee's two best players.  Sewanee always plays well on the mountain and we will continue to do so.

That said, congratulations to the Oglethorpe team as winning on the road in the SCAC is tough under any circumstances and their lively contingent was a welcome addition to a Friday night game.

Speaking of lively crowds, I was especially entertained by the Sewanee crowd's chant of "Safety school" directed toward Oglethorpe's team and cheering section.

Anyway, I will be attending the last two home games, Alumni Game is Saturday, desperately hoping for the sweep that will, potentially, get us into the SCAC tournament at the time when Sewanee teams are typically playing their best.  Yea, Sewanee's right!
