In a related note I played 18 holes at LC Boles this afternoon for good luck.

How was the course?  I'd imagine it would be pretty soggy out there.  I had some thoughts of dusting the clubs off this week, but just didn't have the time.

Actually it was in decent shape for so early in the year.  the 7th green was a mess but overall pretty good.  It was pretty busy too.

5 minutes in.  We are in for a long night.  Guilford is big and I don't think we match up very well.  Oh well.

Hang in there.  Still a LOT of basketball left to play.   

Oh I know.

The key to the Scots winning, as always is limiting turnovers and shooting the three.  If we start out cold shooting we are in trouble.  Franks, Balch and Fagan have to be on top of their shots, Johnson has got to dribble the ball closer to his body (that drives me nuts sometimes) and Hallowell and Wick need to block out on rebounds.   I like our chances as we aren't scared of anyone and beat Witt and Wabash in very hostile gyms.

Concur.  This season has actually gone way better than I expected.  And just think, only one senior on the team. 

The sectional at Wooster would be awesome.  Make it happen.

No flexing by Dupree tonight, right?  Hope he keeps that tongue in his mouth too.

Oh he was woofing it up to us and then shot an airball and made some dumb mistakes.   That three he made was clutch though.  Franks was insane the first half, he was the difference but the turning point IMO was the jumper from the top of the key Wick made when the shot clock ran out midway in the second half.  

Also Coach Moore was pumped at the beginning of the half, I haven't seen him like that in some time.  Doug seemed to be pumped too.    Crowd was into it and was a decent turnout.  

As an aside, they had the model of the new student activity center in the foyer.  It extends out parallel to the wooded hill and doesn't take out a large portion of the hill the band and football team march down, which is good.

All in all a good night to be a Fighting Scot.

I am kind of annoyed to not be going to the game tonight, my son has some Chorus competition in Copley at 7:30.  Oh well.  If we win I will definitely be there tomorrow.

Go Scots.

Make that  the 2007 Witt game.

This has been an ongoing complaint of mine though.  I have been attending Wooster sporting events for 21 years now and the lack of student attendance has always irked me.  The two most attended football games I have seen were the first night game and the Wittenberg game in 2004.  One of the only basketball sellouts I can remember was the Witt game in 2006.    Hopefully there will be a decent crowd this Friday and Saturday.

I was actually pretty disappointed with the lack of student attendance at the NCAC games.  In fact I have been disappointed all year at the lack of students attendance at both football and basketball games and mentioned this to a few people the other night.  In fact I ran into Dr. Cornwell in the restroom and was going to say something put passed.

Good day for Wooster athletics, both short term and long term. Will start with short term.

Nathan Balch is becoming Mr. February/March. In six career postseason games for Wooster, Balch is averaging 17.8 ppg, shooting 67% (37-of-55) from the field and 66% (21-of-32) from three-point range. Another remarkable aspect of the win is how well Wooster played despite having two starters (Johnson & Hallowell) well below 100%. If it weren't for a couple of real shaky calls on Wickliffe at the end of the first half and Balch having to sit early in the second half, Witt never would have made their run, as the Scots came out in the second half playing like they did in the first.

As for hosting, Wooster will definitely host. They will be the No. 1 team in the Great Lakes Region. It's just a matter of who they will play.

As for long term, the College announced today that they will begin construction on a rec center, after all these years. Here is a snippet from the email that was sent out:

The board has voted to authorize construction of a 123,000 square foot Student Recreation Center, the first phase of our long-term master plan for the Campus Center. The timeline for the project is aggressive, but it means that those entering Wooster as first-year students this fall will be able to use the new facility by the second semester of their sophomore year.

This will be, in dollar terms, the largest capital project the College has ever undertaken: $30 million.

Interesting.  I assume it will be located where the Field Hockey field is now and attach to Armington PEC?

They're actually going to be ripping out the office section of the PEC, and the new part will extend to the south and east.

Wow.  I hope they don't mess with the hill.

Quote from: fantastic50 on February 27, 2010, 05:46:06 PMWe'll get our minute-and-a-half in the spotlight shortly before tip-off, and then let the students have the rest of the evening.

Are you a piper as well as a professor?

No, although that would have been cool.  We just sang the national anthem.  I was a little bit disappointed that there were no pipers there tonight, but perhaps the rules pertaining to hosting post-season play don't allow for that.

Congrats to the Scots on getting the win over rival Witt and (more importantly) another NCAC title!  Hopefully, there will be more basketball in Timken next weekend.

I was at the game, you two did an excellent job.  I ran into Dr. Hodges tonight too (who I had for First Year seminar 20 years ago) he looks good.
