DIIIghetto:

Why do you continue to harp on the Oxy-UPS game from last season like it was the all-time defining moment for Oxy basketball? Geez, Louise, enough already. Oxy had the lead in that game with about 5:30 to go, but UPS ended up winning on its home court after receiving a bye, so good for the Loggers. That was a pretty darn good UPS team, wasn't it?

Watching Cal Lutheran play is like watching a rerun of the Andy Griffith Show. You have Sheriff Taylor at center, Howard Sprauge and Otis Campbell at forward, Barney Fife and Gomer Pyle at guard, and Floyd Lawson and Helen Crump off the bench.

No the all-time defining moment in Oxy basketball is the Song Cun "broken ankle" move against Aurora.  It seems to be more of a "broken record" now....wasn't that 4 years ago?

And the analogy of the CLU center and Sheriff Taylor is appropriate, since Miller did "lock up" Betty in both contests.  I do think the Andy Griffith Show was quite popular.

OxyBoob,

Once again you leave out the important details....

Sam Betty averages 19.7 ppg
  So he avg. 11 ppg against CLU.....8 below is average.
Sam Betty shoots 56% from the field
  Against CLU he shot 9-26 (35%)

Zach Miller averages 10.5 ppg on 56% shooting.
  Against Oxy he averaged 13 ppg on 12-23 shooting (52%)

Pretty darn good defense from a fictitious character.  I would consider that a "locking up" on an All-American candidate.

Yes, Oxy did beat CLU twice, as a top 25 team should do to a team that starts 2 juniors, 2 freshmen, and a sophomore.

It was 2003 the last time one of our teams opened on the road in the tourney, UPS had a first round bye ever since, won't be the case this year, we won't be 1 home win away from the sweet 16 again, we'll have to go through sunny so cal, but I think we're up to it.

[DIIIghetto]

NWCer, I don't see why you wouldn't be confident heading into a post-season game against a SCIAC opponent.   When you guys come down to LA and start to think that you are good enough to 'steal one', we will have arrived.

OxyBob,

looks like your Tigers are in again; much props for back to back tourny appearances.  Does this team have a shot to make a run like the '02-'03 team?

[fosheezie]

A couple of things.  First and foremost a question.  Any chance that Cal Lu will get a bid into the tourney with an 18-7 overall record?  Even if its on the road?

Good to see PP go out playing well.  Great to see David Knowles go out playing like we all know he can.  He is a greater kid than he is a player.  He will be hard to replace.  A senior ball handler who can bury it from deep.  Kats has definately showed his magic taking this young team and performing after that putz from NC State decided to jump ship.

Tomorrow I will be a huge, and I mean huge fan of the Poets.  You guys are due for an upset.  Take em out.   Down with the Tigers.

[fosheezie]

Are there really rumors going around that Redlands is going after Jason Lowery who is currently at Pacific up in Oregon?

[castle]

No chance CLU gets in at 18-7, as much as I would like to see that.  Next year's team looks very promising.

Lowery to Redlands...interesting

[NWCer]

Ghetto, don't worry, I'm confident that Whitworth or LC will go down to Oxy and win.  Just saying that it won't be as convenient as it has been the last couple of seasons with that first round bye and then a home game.

Let's kill all this Lowery to Redlands talk please, leave our coach alone , please anyway

[Browneagle64]

One game at a time is indeed what any Oxy sports team likes to do. The Oxy game v.s. Whittier should not be looked beyond, as any result from this can have big implications on how the "Powers that Be" make a choice for Oxy's date to the big dance. I certainly don't want to hear that the Men in orange and black have to get sent away from the Rock for their first game of the post-season. Here's to a good game by the tigers tonight. I am sure they will be motivated in keeping "THe Shoes" at the Rock.......oh wait, wrong season....

Hey Newbie (NWcer), i'm not sure why you have some much confident that Whitworth or LC will come down to Rock and win. In fact, this time around  it diffenetly won't be as convenient as it has been for your NWC teams the last couple of seasons with that first round bye and then a home game.

OB,
I think you overstate Oxy's 'balance' a little bit.  Granted, they do have more than one guy who can score, but I would call 'balance' when any one of 5 guys can go off on a given night.  Whitman, Betty, and perhaps Kostic are capable of that, but when I've watched them, it seems guys like Zebb and Mills only score when the defense is so concerned about Betty or CW that they forget to cover those guys. 

On the other hand, maybe having 3 guys that can score is balance in this league...kinda sad...

I do not believe my ears... Whittier is currently beating Occidental!!!!

Whittier 23, Oxy 21, HALF

Whitter closes the half on a 14-3 run.

dhf,
Is tigersports keeping from offending your ears by cutting off the broadcast entirely with WC up by ten?  Mercy rule?

[D O.C.]

I cannot get the game on Windows MP from the OXY site....

Mind giving time and score?

I think there is a major glitch.  Oxy and Craig Dunkin are both having trouble.  I even rebooted, but it didn't help.
