Oxy rises to # 17 in this week's D3Hoops poll. Convincing win over the talented Stags gave them some more props.
Or maybe it's finally gotten into people's heads that the only d3 team this team has lost to is the #3 team in the nation at a neutral site, and by not a whole lot either!

OxyBob, it was very nice to meet you too! I may or may not know more about DIII basketball than you (highly debatable considering how many inter-regional games you've caught this year alone), but you've got CA basketball and this conference by a landslide! :)

Sure is tempting to drive up to PP for the game tomorrow... on the other hand a 3hr roundtrip on a weeknight is insanity! Sounds a lot like me.  ;D

As for the UR system being called TFS, I agree with you (can't believe I just typed that).  And it is a joke (dang...agreed with you twice).  But I think we all know that when playing UR, they do try to block shots, foul, and take charges.  So I dont think that Hagen was all alone on all of his shots.  And in all the years of Coach Smith running the system, has any opponent shot 100% when taking that many shots?

But having read the stat sheet further, what I found impressive was the freshman Andy Meier with 26 pts, 13 rebs, and 9 assists.  Not bad for a 6'6 forward.
Oh gosh, how much does it suck to miss a triple double by only one assist? That happens so rarely in DIII. (I've never seen one, and I've seen a lot games and a lot of amazing players!)

Nice to see SCIAC teams in the NCAA D-III statistical top ten:

Redlands is No. 1 in scoring offense -- 123.7 ppg
Claremont is No. 1 in scoring defense -- 54.9 ppg
Tonight's games:
Redlands (8-4) @ CMS (9-4)

OxyBob
This has got to be the most interesting D3 game tonight.

That's why I think it is interesting.  It's a battle of wills and who will be able to control the pace.

So given how close the colleges are, how difficult would it be to say, watch the Redlands@CMS game and then sprint over to Oxy @ PP game, and back... etc.  Hmmmmm...  ???

Seriously, how far apart are their gyms? I can't tell from the maps. This could be really funny if I could pull it off.

diehard-

My recollection is that they're about a block and a half apart, so I think it's doable...  Good luck!

You could even be at the Supertents for the National Anthem and starting line ups, catch the first half of CMS/Redlands, and then buckle up for what will probably be the best half of basketball in the SCIAC tonight - the second half of the Oxy/PP game.  Should be fun - the Hens need this one to climb back into the race...

Nice... thanks for the info. It didn't look like they were that far off from eachother... and possibly off of the same street? It will be like switching from audio broadcast to audio broadcast to find out what's going on in the more interesting games around the country.... only much more... interactive... :D

Hmm... maybe I shouldn't have worn those 3-inch heels to work today.  :D

Looks like Kats has brought in some good new talent.  This is a bellwhether game for Oxy.   They haven't won here since going back-to-back in 02-03.  Oxy starts four seniors and a junior and look to have found their stride against CMS.  Should be a good ride.  We'll have the broadcast at www.oxybroadcast.com. 

dawg gone it

Redlands 50  CMS 46    Mazarei had 17 first half points.   Go Dawgs.

Final from Pomona:

Oxy 70, Pomona 54

OxyBob

Hey OxyBob, you don't have to sign all your posts, you know.... Your name is in that little box on the upper left corner...  :D :D :D ;D 8) :P :-* ;) :) :) :)

Thanks for the final... I ended up being lame and staying at home and listening to the Wheaton broadcast. I had sorta figured that I could listen to the first half, and when we were thoroughly willing at half time I would go up to the PP-Oxy and CMS-Redlands games... my team was lame and decided to make me nervous by not showing up until the second half. Am dying to know what the final was on the CMS-Redlands game!

Oh, so that bothers you, too?
Absolutely not. But well played. Guess it's a good thing I decided not to stick my neck out about CMS being pretty good. They still obviously have some work to do.  :-\ Guess it's pretty hard to instantly replace a player who was as darn good as Miles Taylor was!

Ironic that CMS actually did play pretty good defense on Redlands, kept them significantly below their average... and that one game total alone might drop them out of the NCAA standings for that stat!

Who would've thought that Oxy's biggest games weren't the PP/CMS games to start the season after Caltech but the next two against CLU and OB's TFS?

My apologies to all who tried to listen to the second half.  My software decided that it was just not going to work.  I think it was sabotaged by some hens who knew that a beat down was upon them and didn't want the world to know. ;)  (cackle, cackle)

Howlinwolf

Bulldogs finally may be using OB's moniker as motivation this year.  :D

I know this is the men's board, but congrats to Cal Tech's women's squad on ending their long skid with a narrow defeat of the 'Hens.

Unusual year to date - bitter cold, two Cal Tech W's, P-P and CMS with two conference losses early in the season.  The world is coming to an end!

scandihoovian

Good call, Howlinwolf - congrats to the Cal Tech women!

Bob-
Did I forget to tell you that the ceiling can be lowered and the lights dimmed for big games?  ;D

I am very excited about Saturday night's game - definitely the first big game in the new arena.    I'm impressed with the way Oxy has handled PP and CMS thus far.  I know PP may be having something of a down year, but I am really surprised that CMS lost to Redlands at home.  The Bulldogs have already been a bigger factor in the conference race than I thought they would be.

Redlands Rick

Big factors in Dogs win against CMS:

1) CMS horrible performance at the FT line; I don't know how far under 50% from the line they shot, but they probably beat Dogs if they shoot a little more than 50% from line.

2) Pretty lame that only only two refs showed up to call the game; that equated into fewer fouls/slow downs, which favored Dogs.
