willing to give him a pass?
   Please let my post be the last we hear of all of this.  Hayford simply meant that they would be a better fit in d2, which they would.  But who cares?  there is still a good amount of the post season to be played.   Lets talk about the season we have left before the "snore"..............."snore"  NBA post season has to come around

where is that

I keep hearing certain seeds that each team has in the bracket.  Where is the bracket that shows the seeding?

23-3, Whitworth won their league tournament.  Our mascot is a pirate or buccaneer sp? 
Don't want to give too much away.  haha

DHF is correct.  After seeing some of the goodgreat teams that got left out of the tournament and talking to a few of the WhitW players they are excited to be in and really looking forward to playing on Friday night.

DHF,  Thanks for the comment I will use WhitW from now on and UWWW for university of wisconsin  white water  or WW

p.s. I like the pic

just about to say that.  I think i read their  QOWI very wrong.  So nevermind to Chapman, but along th lines of WW and Oxy, who do you see as the host if the decision is to let those two play it out west and then move the winner east?

DC,  That sounds like it makes sense to me according to your analysis of the flight options.  The only question I had in regards to the western teams was Chapman.  Will they be in the tourney as a pool b?  If so could that change the situation in the west with Oxy  and Whitworth?

Hey Pat,
                 Just wondering how much weight they put on each criteria.  Is one much more important than the 3 others?

Again I agree with THAT!

Obviously I agree and can't think of any other reason besides QOWI that Oxy doesn't get on a flight to Spokane.

Its been snowing!

Whitworth should be ranked 16th still correct?    Just wondering why when you go to the scoreboard for saturday  they are not in with the ranked teams above all of the others

Also SCIAC followers,
       Don't really know what the situation is right now in finding a new coach for Redlands but in your search you should definately consider a guy named Rodney Wecker.  He is the assistant to Coach Hayford at Whitworth and actually won the AFLAC assistant coach of the year award a couple years ago.  In talking with some of the seniors on this years team there is no one who knows more about basketball and small college basketball especially than Rodney.  He is a great players coach and really seemes to be passionate about what he does.  Just my 2 cents. 

I don't think we can see eye to eye because of our Karma being exactly opposite either

The post was by me not Sabertooth,
     But I was trying to come up with tough non conference for QOWI.  If we want to look at weak teams we can say Whitworth against Caltech and UC Santa Cruz twice maybe include Whittier but I read a few posts ago that they are better than their record and by staying with OXY last night they probably are.  As for OXY obviously a few teams in league and then I will say La Sierra but having not seen them play I can't really say if they are weak enoguh to be on the list.

OXYBOB,
I know the QOWI is correct and in place for a good reason but I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what is the best strategy in scheduling for a season.  You obviously can't control league scheduling, but is it better to schedule strong teams from other leagues and maybe not in region games or would it be better to play whoever you can in region like Santa Cruz or Caltech?
