Centre is providing video for Friday and Saturday's Games

I sent an email asking (hoping) that Centre would provide audio or video for the NCAA games and found out they were already 3 steps ahead of me. They are providing free video of the games at

or, if that doesn't work there's a link at Centre's site

Mind you, if you can get there, go to the games. Last year was amazing.

On behalf of us who can't make it I want to thank Centre for letting us watch as well.

Centre wins by the skin of its teeth as Hendrix fought like mad and both teams were playing against the refs. For most of the game, whenever Hendrix touched the ball Centre got called for a foul. Then, in the last few minutes, the refs called penalties on each team every time the other team shot and missed.

I listened to the game rather than watching it. Maybe all the fouls called were legit, but it sure sounded bad.

Centre 78 - Hendrix 77

What's going on? If anybody is watching the game, is Centre really mugging as many people as the number of fouls seem to indicate? Every time down they're getting called.

Hendrix has taken the lead and 3 Centre players on bench with 3 fouls.

Centre looked like it was starting to pull away, but Hendrix pushed hard toward the end of the period and at the end Centre took a 7 point lead to the locker room.

Centre had foul problems in the first period, but balanced it out with accurate shooting.

Hendrix pushed Centre at the beginning, but Centre held on shooting 3 pointers. At about 10 minutes in 1st period Centre started pulling ahead. Now Centre 28 Hendrix 21.

Southwestern 68 Trinity 63. This team is hot just at the right moment.

Southwestern is seconds away from eliminating Trinity. Up by two with ball.

At half Centre 24, Austin 17.

What's up with Hoopsville? I cannot get any of the episodes to play or download.

One of Oglethorpe's announcers said that Centre only took one shot in the paint in the first half.

If you're intersted in following the game Oglethorpe is broadcasting it.

Oglethorpe 34 ~ Centre: 31 at the half

I've been seeing things here and there about D4. Does anybody have a handle on this?

Is it an argument that schools such as those in the SCAC, which have higher academic standing, reputation, and history should separate themselves into another Division?

Has the SCAC taken a position on this?

Anyone planning to travel to Danville (Centre College) for the games: I just watched a couple of Lexington channels' weather predictions and it's not good.

The last weatherman pointed to an area which included Danville and said 6-10", "the worst snowfall in a decade."  By noon today they are predicting heavy snow and 32 degrees, with temperatures dropping.  They also reported that roads are not being pre-treated because it's going to rain first and this would just wash it away.

Personally, I'd like to see as many people as possible in Danville (school pride and all) but I thought it fair to warn everybody that Kentucky's not used to this type of weather and the people aren't used to driving in it.  Expect chaos and closed roads.
