Scandii---- Famous T.O doughnuts and 1st round of Beer are on you if the Oxy crew heads out to the land of the who, right. ;D. Just kidding.

I hope i can make it out there. I haven't seen the men in Organe and black since they played against Wisconsin-Luthern at the cal tech tourney. I hope that this game turns out to be a good one. If the who brings the same game and attitude that they took with them when they headed to maui and when they played a decent chapman team, i expect this game to give us all the fits. Hope the kingsmen are ready for the tigers this weekend.

Btw, how did knowles do against the tigers?

BE-

In the event of a CLU victory I will happily buy consolation donuts for all Oxy posters in attendance  :D  The beer part you'll have to take care of on your own - if I do make it to the game I'll have the little scandihoovians in tow.  They're not quite ready for the old Pub & Grub just yet...

You are like my shadow...stop stalking me [deleted]

My post was just a comment from an old basketball coach of mine on the would coulda shoulda's that is contained in a couple of previous posts.  You just cant deal with Redland basketball winning a game.  You call a bunch of kids trying their best and playing for the love of the game ...freaks.  Shame on you. 

And by the way... Ive know Sue for 20 plus years. I knew she was the Beav's sister...I told two other posters I was going to post she was his mom and that you would correct me within 30 mins....I guess I was wrong again it took you 42.  Carp.

Looks like the Traveling Freak Show is a force to be reckoned with in the SCIAC. 116 points against Pomona and 98 against CMS, traditionally two excellent defensive teams, is mighty impressive. The Bulldogs are trying to win one for the Smither.

DGI-

Given that Bob was willing to call Redlands accomplishments "impressive", I really don't think he's having trouble accepting the Bulldogs strong start.  Now if he was posting inaccurate information on purpose just to get a reaction out of people, that would be a entirely different story...

Geez, man, you can't help yourself, can you?

You really should be banned from the site for this. But I don't want to deal with the whining e-mails you sent me when you deleted yourself from the board during the football season.

I'm really getting tired of this.

Lots of people refer to the System as a freak show or a circus. That doesn't mean they refer to the individuals playing the game as freaks.

It's actually a relatively common opinion, hardly held by just one person.

>>Danny Hagen was 16 for 16 from the floor for the game<<

16 completely uncontested 1-footers, no doubt. I'm sure Hagen took tougher shots in warmups.

Edit: CLU had 108 of its 129 points in the paint.


I would suggest that they were all from within 5 feet, and most were contested.  No fast break baskets, just pounding the ball inside.  Andy Meier was great.  With Meier high and Hagen low, the combination was huge.  Meier hit 6-12 foot jumpers, and Hagen powered off the block.  4 of Meier's 9 assits were to Hagen.  Hagen had at least 20 pounds on the Redland defenders, and he used his body well.

With Redlands trying to pressure the ball outside, they were vunerable to CLU's inside play, and Coach Rider capitalized on it.  I was surprised that Redland drove inside so much against CLU.  CLU's big men dominated the paint on both ends.

The Oxy CLU matchup may be better than some people think, but that's why they play the game.

I am looking forward to taking in a good sciac matchup in TO tomorrow;  it will be my first look at OXY and CLU this year.  I thought the kingsmen were a year away from doing damage, so i really want to see the young guys who have been playing so well.  But 15 and 14 point W's over CMS and PP are very impressive by Oxy, cal lu will have to control Betty/Whitman and shoot well from 3.  Looks like it should be a low scoring game.

Go Kingsmen

(How come it is always seems to be a Redlands fans that is causing a fuss on the site) ???

The traveling freak show may fade, but they will have some effect on the S.C.I.A.C.  Teams like CMS and Oxy that will kill you with their half court offenses run to precision, the game is played without you running your stuff except for them.  It wouldn't surprise me that UR beats Oxy at home, but Oxy will win the conference.  No matter what conference or what level, its hard to go through conference undefeated.  To many good coaches, and you know the other teams to well.  You play them twice a year.  Just one man's opinion; Let me go back to floating on the perimeter. Get me the ball i'm open.

Oxybob,

Wish I could be at the Oxy CLU game, but its not possible.  While I would give Oxy the edge, I haven't seen Oxy play and you have.  I am concerned that Miller will have trouble with Betty defensively.  I think Meier will match up on Mills pretty well.  While Miller is more offensive, it will be interesting to see how much Rider will use Hagen on Betty [power v power].  I think CLU's defensive play will be a bigger factor in determining the outcome, that offense.

I could be all wet........having coach more soccer than basketball, but, I'm programed to "build from the back [defensive errors loss more games that offense wins in soocer]". 


Dirty Harry

What's the word on CLU's backcourt? Been a lot of talk on the board about power vs power in tonight's CLU-Oxy game but how does CLU match up with Whitman, Zebb and Macbride? CLU will obviously try to pound the ball inside but I see Oxy attacking with a more balanced offense (as OxyBob suggested). If Betty, Mills and Kostic can hold CLU's muscle away from the basket and out of the statbook, I like Oxy's chances.


Tigersports, you gonna be there?

littleboymaker

OxyBob is probably correct with regard to Oxy being more balanced [and more experience at least in the backcourt].  It strikes me that the CLU backcourt is improving, but there has not been much depth there for a couple years IMO.  Being a numbers guy, I've always watched the assist/turnover ratio for both the team and point guards.  I think it says a lot about their game. 

All things considered, work ethic and team play will probably get the win......I'm hoping that CLU will get the "W". 

OxyBob, if you're smiling after the game, it's OK, but I'm going to hope for an upset.
