I'm very upset because I won't be able to make the Trinity game tonight.  I was at the game Thursday and must say that the Tigers looked very nervous.  I'm hoping that they will be the "experienced" team tonight.  Is anyone going to be down in San Antonio tonight?

Averrett and Guilford are playing in Danville, KY.  Did I miss something?

I think the yearly honors came out pretty much how we all expected.  Mike Moore was terrific this season.  They won when Moore played well and they lost when Moore didn't.  He was more of the key to DePauw's success than any other player for any other team.  I'm a little surprised that Andrew King made the first team, however.  I figured Kola Alade or Charles Houston would have snuck in and been that last spot with King being a second team. 

Congrats to Centre, they really earned this year's SCAC championship.  As a Trinity fan, I can only hold my breath that our Tigers get in now.

I was thinking the same thing Pbrooks.  My predictions are:

Trinity over Sewanee
DePauw over Southwestern
Hendrix over Oglethorpe
Centre over Austin

Trinity over DePauw
Centre over Hendrix

Trinity over Centre

Obviously, I have no upsets or anything exciting happening in my predictions.  I think Trinity picked their game back up this past weekend and will ride some of that momentum into the tournament.  DePauw and Centre are also playing very good basketball right now, so it wouldn't surprise me if any 3 of these teams win.  Sorry Hendrix fans, I just don't think Hendrix is deep enough to win 3 games in a road, even if it is at home.

any other thoughts?

Trinity (TX), are they in?

Pbrooks, in my opinion Danny Noll looks to be the runner up for POY.  Mike Moore definitely has it in the bag though, so I guess it really doesn't matter.  Here's a good question, who rounds out SCAC first team?

Looks like UTD stepped into first, barely a game ahead of Trinity.

Any big matchups on the weekend?  It looks like the Hendrix/Millsaps game is a huge one for Millsaps.  Southwestern seems to have their fate in their own hands with two wins this weekend

oh wow, when is the last time the SCAC has 3 teams in the SCAC??!!  Looks like we're getting a little bit more love now a days!

Ralph, how many more games do you think Trinity needs to win in order to safely say that they will have at least an at-large bid?  I was thinking 3 out of their last 4 games.

Barring a complete meltdown it looks like Trinity has positioned themselves for a #1 seed in the West.  This makes me very interested in what's going on over in the east.  I had the opportunity to watch Trinity/Sewanee in San Antonio, but I didn't get a chance to make it up to Memphis for the Rhodes game.  Most everyone agrees that Rhodes has as much talent as anybody in this conference.  That's what would be scary if they were to sneak into that #4 seed in the East.  I'd probably rather have Trinity play Sewanee, although they do appear to be playing better since they made the trip down here.  I agree, pbrooks, it looks like there coulud be some potential upsets in this year's tournament.

Hi all, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been out of town quite a bit.  On topic about the SCAC being complacent with 12 teams, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually wanted to INCREASE the number of total schools and create more of a cost efficient "divisional play" scenario.  That's just my opinion though.  I'm sure every conference is looking for best case scenarios for handling their economic situations. 

Also, congrats to Songy, Noll and Houston - not only are they great ball players, but they are great students apparently as well!

In fact, right now I think I have Noll along with Mike Moore and Luke Caldarera as my top three candidates for SCAC POY (obviously I would like to say Caldarera should be POY, but we all know that Trinity players don't put up the stats to be voted POY - for example, possibly the best player to come through the SCAC, Sean Devins)  I'm sure there will be plenty of argument on that, so let the discussion begin...

What would have to happen for Trinity to get home court through the sectionals?  Is that even a possible scenario?
#14
ooo, I like the Trinity win prediction pbrooks!

Mine are:

BSC over Millsaps by 6
Hendrix over Rhodes by 8
DePauw over Trinity by 6 (I'm playing it conservative here, obviously I want the Tigers to win, but they haven't had much success in Greencastle)
Centre over Southwestern by 14
Oglethorpe over Colorado College by 12
Austin over Sewanee by 10

Are there any predictions for this weekend?
