Yes. Best wishes CMS. I am watching from afar with my fingers crossed and my eyes clinched. It was such a satisfying feeling when you beat Whitworth.
Mother of former #42--when we lost to Whitworth

That game did me in.  I can only imagine how exhausted the coach and players must be feeling.  Stag44--what did you think?

Wish you guys the best.  This is very exciting.  I am looking forward to the game.   

Good luck to the Stags.  Great game tonight. Very exciting.  I really hope there is no way CMs will be playing Chapman for the first game in the tournament.

?? I have been watching CMS games.  They look really good--good team work, strong & stable.  I am just wondering what the basketball experts out there think?  Is there any chance a SCIAC team (e.g. CMS) does well in the ncaa playoffs? Dare I hope?
I went to Wisconsin when CMS played St. Thomas.  Ever since I have dislike Wisconsin.  So I will really be rooting for CMS when they play UW Stevens Point. Good Luck

Looking forward to watching the CMS Chapman game tonight!
CMS people--is the user name and password the same as before?
Is it possible to watch archived games, e.g. CMS PP game?
Best luck to CMS--I am keeping my fingers crossed for another great year.

Too true Oxy Bob.   But Redlands almost beat Whitworth--and in a very difficult gym. So even if no one else gives the SCIAC any attention, I am proud that our unranked SCIAC team almost took down the #6 ranked team.  to the Bulldogs.

Best wishes to the Pirates.

Great season. It is always fun to watch the stags play.

And as a CMS fan, all I can say is, GO BULLDOGS.
May you win, and keep winning until these D3 people know the difference between the West and the Western part of the East.

You guys looked like you were enjoying yourself after the win.  Best of Luck. I will be watching and rooting for you.

Great game--very exciting. I thought the Stags played very well. (Bulldogs too.)
CMS has done so much better this season than i was expecting. Good luck in the tournament.

I am beginning to feel sorry for Caltech. They come so close but can't get over the hump.
I think teams must play harder against them than they do against whatever team is in first place.
Once Caltech get 5 wins and it is no longer front page news when they win, I am sure it is going to be much easier.
I was one of those people who couldn't understand why Caltech was in the SCIAC if it hadn't won a game in 20 years, but now, I am rooting for you.

Stag44--I am sorry you are coaching and can no longer give us your lengthy analysis of all the SCIAC teams.
Good luck in the tournament.

And Caltech had more rebounds, steals and blocks than CMS!
I think hell will freeze over before you get that close again but way to go Caltech. Something good must be happening.

WOW. CMS team looked great. Congratulations.

Best wishes to CMS. I missed the game, but hope you beat UC Santa Cruz tonight.
You guys look great--you just need to break the ice and win your first game.
So sorry to hear about Tyler Gaffaney. He must be going crazy twiddling his thumbs.

How about Trevor Woodlands being on the D3hoops.com All Star Team?!
It may be old news, but Congratulations.
I thought he was very good but there didn't seem to be a lot of talk about him so I am surprised.
Good Luck. 

Just got back from end of season Basketball banquet. It was a nice feeling.

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps' Scalmanini A Finalist For National Coach Of The Year

Men's basketball coach Ken Scalmanini is one of the 10 finalists for the Glenn Robinson National Coach of the Year Award.  Scalmanini led the Stags this season to a team record 25 wins (versus a team record low of three losses) and their fourth consecutive SCIAC title.  CMS also won the SCIAC Tournament title for the third time in four years.  The Stags, who opened the season with a team record 15 consecutive wins, lost in overtime to the defending national champions in the NCAA Championships.

Scalmanini, who just completed his 14th year as head coach, is 240-120 (.667) overall in his career.  He is 145-51 (.740) in SCIAC play and his teams have won six SCIAC titles.

The Glenn Robinson Award, which is presented annually to the top Division III basketball coach, is named in honor of the Franklin & Marshall head coach. With 805 wins, Robinson is currently twelfth on the all-time wins list. He has taken F&M to NCAA Division III tournament 22 times. Robinson guided the Diplomats to the Division III Final Four in 1979, 1991, 1996, 2000 and 2009. This season, he picked up his 23rd 21-plus win season.

The winner will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet on March 30 in New Orleans, the site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.
