That might be a good thing. Michael isn't exactly the best front office guy ever.

Former CLU front man, Mike Dunlap, is the new head coach at LMU.

CLU just didn't play well. Sadly it has been a hallmark of the program as of late. I tend to think we have been one of the most talented teams in the SCIAC over the last 5 - 8 years and we have very little to show for it.
If a bus ride to Orange County is a major hurdle with a NCAA tournament berth on the line then there are serious issues. I just think Chapman was better prepared and we shot our wad the night before.

Switching gears:
Lango at Cal Tech is tough but doesn't get much done. Runs around, looks like he is playing really hard but doesn't make plays. That is based of a game and a half I saw of him so I am willing to be wrong there. Oxy seems like they could be dangerous. I guess I could look it up but one of the CLU coaches told me that they started 2 or 3 freshmen and played 2 or 3 more or something like that.
What will Redlands be like next year?
Is PP the favorite?

Hats off to Chapman. Better game plan, better execution, and better energy levels.
Good luck in the NCAA'S!!! If March is about guard play then Chapman has a puncher's chance.

Long time reader, first time poster.
I was at the CLU/CMS game last night and didn't think either team played particularly well early. I thought both teams were tight and CLU got lucky to take advantage of a few key CMS mistakes. CMS never seemed to get into a rhythm. My personal thought is with two guards like #34 and #14 they should have tried to get out and get easy baskets in transition. Their vaunted half court offense hurts them when they get down. They need to work so hard to get shots that when they miss (sometimes a result of playing tight in the postseason) things can spiral in a hurry.
No matter what the shot that Coltrane hit to win the game was a shot that most coaches would be ok giving up with the game on the line. It was well defended and pretty lucky to bank it in for CLU.

The final is going to come down to who controls pace more. CLU can run but wants to be deliberate. Chapman has gone way more uptempo this year but point totals as of late indicate a slower pace. Should be a great one.
