Can Hope run the table this year??

I would say they should run the MIAA table and could run the NCAA table.  Seems like Calvin's losses will make the MIAA road fairly easy for the Dutch.  Did any MIAA schools have a great recruiting year?

I also see Lindsay Ippel is a finalist.  I believe Lindsay's parents are Calvin grads and John Ross recruited her hard.  Imagine if she had come to play for the Knights.

ouch

Two close games to .500 teams ..... will Calvin have a small drop in the poll?

Top 25 At-a-Glance

#   2   Calvin (23-1) def. Olivet 66-62 and won at Alma 59-53
#   3   Howard Payne (24-1) def. Schreiner 90-29 and won Texas Lutheran 83-36
#   5   Messiah (23-2) def. Elizabethtown 76-53 and def. Widener 97-51

I could see Calvin dropping one or two spots.

What a great effort tonight by Olivet. Very impressive.

I'd say Olivet has two of the top athletes in the MIAA.  Audrey Graham and Kelsey Gordon are as quick, if not quicker, than anyone else I've seen this winter.

With Calvin winning the MIAA title and on the cusp of a #1 ranking I did a very small piece of research and something dinged my curiousity. 

1996 .... 1st: (12-0)
1997 .... 1st: (11-1)
1998 .... 1st: (12-0)
1999 .... 1st: (14-2)
2000 .... 2nd: (13-3)
2001 .... 4th: (7-7)
2002 .... 5th: (7-7)
2003 .... 4th: (6-8)
2004 .... 1st: (13-1)
2005 .... 3rd: (13-3)
2006 .... 2nd: (14-2)
2007 .... 1st: (currently 14-0)

Where can one find MIAA standings older than 1996?

First set of regional rankings:
Great Lakes
1 Calvin 12-0 18-1
5 Hope 13-2 18-2

Homecoming or not, I think Calvin is ready to fall.  Hope's second loss was a carryover from the Calvin loss in DeVos.  The Dutch will come out and overwhelm the Knights in the first 10 minutes.  The question will be if Calvin can recover.

Right on one count – Hope's defense was all over Calvin for the 1st ten minutes.  But that went both ways. 

Quote from: hope1 on February 11, 2007, 10:09:01 AM

I think Calvin has nearly solidified the #2 spot, right now they have the tie-breaker with TSU should it come to that, and I suppose its now possible for Adrian to get the #3 spot by beating Tri-State, and a Hope win over TSU next Saturday.

I see Calvin dropping one more MIAA game before the tourney.  Then who's #2 seed?

Quote from: HopeConvert on February 06, 2007, 08:44:50 PM
Frankly, it is hard for me not to see it as a two-team tournament.

Frankly, it's hard for me not to see it as a one-team tournament.  I would not be surprised to see Calvin go down to Albion, Adrian or 3-State.

Final from the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan

HOPE 86  Kalamazoo 48

Did anyone spot any other MIAA coaches watching the game?  With the later start time you wonder how many guys make the drive.

Serious question... How the heck does Hope beat TSU 101-57? And this happen today to Calvin?

Quote from: almcguirejr on January 27, 2007, 04:29:52 PM
Tri State 68
Calvin 58

Benford and Brookins combine 39 points.  Calvin's guards shot 6-25.

Quote from: goknights68 on January 27, 2007, 04:51:12 PM
Sounds like Tri-State's front-court just outplayed Calvin's frontcourt throughout the whole game. 

Which is it?

Quote from: goodknight on January 10, 2007, 09:55:09 PM

Adrian 79
Calvin 75

oh my....
