WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[mybleedinghands]

rmaconfan - the game should be aired online through Penn Atlantic - they are covering several big ODAC match ups this year. There is a charge of $3.50 to use this service and I cannot say that I have ever tried it, but you can find out more info at
http://www.odaconline.com/01.08.08_odac_bballwebcasts.htm

I am assuming the feed will be pretty good since it is going through a company that does this for a living instead of an individual school trying to do it.

Dangit it costs 3.50 to view each game??? Looks like I won't be watching any then!

I should be able to get a media pass for the LC ones! lol

RMC provides free streaming through Sports Juice.com for most home games including the one this Saturday.

Coach Tobey and the Hornets with another big win on the road, beating Guilford 65-57 tonight.

I, too, was impressed with the young Hornets - UNTIL they lost to Bridgewater.

well they are ALL underclassmen, every single one of the players is a freshman and sophomore, so they are still prone to making the mistakes that young players will make...

Looks like sportsjuice is broadcasting the men's RMC-HSC game from Farmville now at 2:00 p.m.    I guess the Penn Atlantic option for a fee    is what's left to listen to the women's game RMC-VWC

[hoopstermom]

RMC will need to play much better than they have and more consistently throughout both halves of the game if they want to keep up with VWC. 

GC is confusing me, they drop their game to RMC last week by 16 only to beat VWC the next day by the same number of points, then they lose their next game to LC.  I'm picking them to prevail over EMU though.

I'll pick LC over W&L.  I haven't seen either play but I'm sort of rooting for the youngsters.

Roanoke should take Randolph even without Hanson

I think E&H will take BC.

I'm no good at picking numbers for lotto tickets, so I wouldn't lay any odds on these choices either.  But it's fun guessing.

Jan. 18
BC at E&H - 7:00pm
EMU at GC - 7:00pm
RAND at RC - 7:00pm
LC at W&L - 7:00pm

Jan. 19
VWC at RMC - 2:00pm
EMU at E&H - 4:00pm
BC at GC - 4:00pm
LC at RC - 4:00pm
RAND at W&L - 4:30pm


I'm looking forward to seeing the Hornets and Quakers:

BC
GC
RC
LC

RMC
E&H
GC
LC - if no Hanson
W&L

Should be a fun weekend.

Nice back-to-back road wins by Bridgewater, as they beat the Wasps yesterday and the Quakers today.

For a team that has 11 underclassmen (seven frosh, four sophs) and one senior, they are growing up quickly (7-6, 5-4 ODAC). IMO, they'll be competing for the ODAC title in 2009-2010, if not earlier. What a heck of a job Coach Willi, Justice, and Wade have done.

I'm looking forward to watching EMU-BC Part 2 on Jan. 22.

I've tried to calm down - but can anybody believe the Generals lost to Randolph?  By 20 points??  Come on now!

I had to go check randolph's website before I believed that...

[mybleedinghands]

LC proceeded to intentionally foul pushing several Roanoke players to the floor...it happened twice w/o any intentional fouls being called...however, with 2 sec left and LC down by more than one position...LC players proceed to push RC players across the court (as told by their coach) and ended up having two foul calls at the same time...one being intentional.

Your version of the story doesnt matchup with the official box score.....

the W&L loss is crazy, but Randolph always has a tendency to pick up one or two big upset wins a season...if you take them lightly and the coaches don't keep their normal sub rotation (putting in lower players earlier) then you never get in a rhythm.]

Rotation had nothing to do with the Randolph win.  W&L has no "star" players, and never plays the bench deep.  Randolph just flat out played defense, and W&L, well, just didn't.

Randolph has a pretty good trio in freshman Brockman and sophomores Rechnitzer and Cross.

Sorry - did that wrong...
