Any one got an update from the PP v Cal Lu game?

1st team All-league honors should definitely go to Reynolds at PP, and POY consideration depending on how PP fairs in the conf. tourny.

I was kidding, it was supposed to be a sarcastic remark, no harm meant.

I thought he was, man these oxy fan's are just filling the board with misinformation. First about Rebasso then Betty...they'd have us believe only oxy players win awards

As for Mani Maceira, he would have been a very worthy SCIAC Player of the Year. I thought Knowles was going to win it, but naturally I'm happy that Sam Betty won it for the second year in a row.

OxyBob

Didn't Miles Taylor from CMS win POY last year?

And OxyBob, I think you are correct that Finn Rebassssssoooooo was the last Freshman to be named 1st Team ALL-SCIAC

Pomona-Pitzter's Alex Lloyd was First Team All-SCIAC as a Freshman, when Rebasso was a jr.

Miles Taylor is a very good player, but if I had a nickel for every lowered shoulder he lays into a defender, I'd be retired by now. Beefing about that single call makes little sense, never mind shots that "normally" would have fallen.

To end your post with an unfounded knock on Whitman is classless.

For starters if he drops his shoulder then take a charge. And second, way to deliver a backhanded compliment then tell Howlin to be more classy. 

Finally, posting's been fun, but after a fun career I think I'm about to retire my playing and posting, good luck to Oxy up at UPS. Though I reserve the right to make the occasional Fosheezie like appearance.

Assuming they both win Pomona will have a better regional record, and have finished with wins @ LV, @Redlands, vs OXY, and @ Cal Lu, while Oxy finishes with a Loss to CMS, Pomona, Redlands (@HOME), and a win of the Tech, and an earlier HOME loss to LV. I can't see how they're any more deserving of a bid then PP, if I had to hope for one of the two schools to get in I'd pull for PP if only because I think the PP CMS rematch would be great

As for last night, let's face it, PP got a ton of breaks last night (65% team hitting all but 3 FT's, unbelievable bounces on Knowles' 3 and Porter's FT, the tie-up that could've gone either way), not to mention picking up a Jordan-esque foul call just about every time they went to the basket.  Not to take anything away from PP"s gritty effort, and I know I'll get static from the PP faithful, but karma was on their side last night.

You will get static, if you want to talk about bad calls you should also mention the two offensive fouls on Lloyd, or the over the back calls on Porter that could have also gone  against Betty on a couple tap-ins.

As to your jump ball complaint, Oswald, I asked lloyd after the game. Here's a direct quote "absolutely I had my hand on the ball before he started yellying time out, if they'd given them that TO it would have been awful. That said...all the oxy players were right in the first half when they wanted a goal tend on Alexander's lay-up"...Refs aren't perfect if they'd called hand checking fouls in game one, maybe lloyd would have shot more then ZERO free throws and PP would have won both, but they didn't.

Also,  tough one for the Techies I would have loved to see them get a W in league finally

"Knowles three in the closing seconds of regulation was unreal.  Great shot, though I thought his foot might have been on the line"


Oxy Oswald, I hada great view and can assure you it wasn't on the line.

i.  Whittier continues to be thorn in PP's side.

Over the past 3 seasons Whittier is 1-5 against Pomona, over the past 4 they are 2-6 splitting with an injury depleted pomona team that was also affected by players going abroad in 2002-2003. I'd hardly call that a thorn in the side.

Whiner, "Could be PP again"? Whittier lost both to PP last year, but I do agree LV is a dark horse.

I'll be Ok, I'm sorry I'll be honest, I don't really care about the sciac vs the nation debate; it will never be resolved on the board and posts about it are completely subjective unless the teams have played that season.

However, I do want to note that for the first time in years we don't have a redlands poster popping off about how they're going to win sciac. And I just want to say Redlands should change it up and play basketball. Currently, Redlands is awful there system at this point teams would rather play cal tech then them because against cal tech you're still playing basketball, not some glorified lay up drill, against dirty players, who take cheap shots, flop, and cry to the referees all game about how fast they make a 5 second call, or what's a charge.  I can't wait to see if they still claim to have the best fans in sciac when they're losing.

Also, So Cal has no D3 state schools that I know of other than UCSC, who seems to not care about being bad, this means every kid that goes to a SCIAC school needs 40G or to get a good aid package. That said, it's that's the same with NESCAC schools like Williams, or Amherst, but they also get slots for players which PP doesn't. 

That said I know of kids that have turned down scholarships to come to school in the SCIAC, and kids that have turned down Pomona to go play in the NAIA, which if you figure look at estimated future income is probably an awful decision regarless of expense. 

My belief is that if the top 3 SCIAC schools we'll say OXY, PP, and Cal lu historicly played a season in the mid-west that the better compitition would lead to better play, and they'd be competitive.

Get Cal tech out of the conference, bring in Chapman, UCSD should go D3 again, and come over as well (they're a HORRIBLE D2 team), Redlands should be put on league probation until they decide to play real basketball and be competitive.

The schools should hire ONE person to be incharge of press release, it's not hard they could have a budget to hire an intern at each school if they needed help with a few write ups. Oh and all SCIAC schools should have slots, it makes a big difference if every year you can get 2 kids with an 1100 (old sat system i know) and a 3.2gpa.

When they took the court for warm-ups?....yeah ok, and you're Jerry West. What's your thinking, oh my look at how that 6'4" player made a fluid left handed lay-up and now he hit 2 catch and shoot 3's in a row. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you're wrong about them beating any team by 20+...I'd say more but I haven't watched them play. You probably didn't see the Wash U game's here though either. Wash U was lucky to get 2 W's, both games could have gone either way. CMS actually misses a freethrow to win with about 10 seconds left.

What I do know is: Oxy played Azusa within 20, PP's played UCSD tight, and that the quality of play for most teams changes dramatically between Thanksgiving and Christmas so comparing a team playing in December to a team playing in November is pretty much a waste of time if the team's any good.

Maybe you'll get to see the games between OXY, PP and Amherst those will be a much better indication of where teams are.

The only thing that will hurt Chapman's Tourny hopes if you're right is that they play at least 7 games against teams that are almost guaranteed victories. Home/Aways with La Serria, UC Santa Cruz, and West Coast Baptist. A game against Cal Tech. Also if whittier and La Verne don't do well in sciac that will hurt their strength. When I see their schedule I think they need at least 23 wins to be a guaranteed bid come tourny time.  They might do it though, they've looked good so far
