Bob,
The games of the 23rd and 24th are all at Cal Tech. I will be there shooting the games on the 23rd.
Whitman v. Cal Lu at noon
Whitworth v. Chapman at 2
UC Santa Cruz v. Cal Tech at 4

Any posters going to be there?

Please note the following women's score from Friday:

CALTECH 68, Pacific Union 37

We will not be discussing the Saturday result, and it will not be on the exam.

Saturday's results:
Chapman 64, Redlands 55

OB,
You forgot the second half.
Oh, I just remembered - This is not 2006.

Well OxyBob you were right.  LaVerne did not put up much resistance.  They did work hard, but they have a long way go.  They lack a scorer and a true PG.  Nobody on their team stood out much.  It will be interesting to keep tabs on the SCIAC this year to see how it all shapes up!

Bob, what's Chapman hoops like? Whitworth plays them on the 23rd at Cal Tech.

[LogShow]

Too bad Whitworth couldn't have figured out how to arrange a game with Oxy, CMS or Pomona in SoCal instead of Caltech.

not sure if it was that WW couldn't figure out a way...last year they played UC Santa Cruz twice and the Cal Tech the year before that.  Seems like they just like to "build confidence" each winter before conference play starts

I hope you will be there for the Cal Tech game.  You have a possibility to see a rare Beaver victory.

The Slugs have a nice center in Brennan.  I saw him play three games last year in Dallas.

His favorite class is California and Californians. Hmmmmmm...  That sounds like an advanced graduate school class to me.

I plan on being there and photographing all 3 games. Look for them when they get posted.

Yes, it is frustrating as a Whitworth fan to see that Pirate basketball has adopted the Oxy football model for scheduling...

[pineconefan]

Actually, for sheer rediculousness, I like the Llama Farm sponsor better! 

But you are right, there are a handful of DIII schools on the west coast with radio voices who are a pleasure to listen to.  Whitworth has been fortunate to have had Mr. Castle for so long.

[David Collinge]

... there's the added delight of the spots for Columbia Hearing Centers. I know that David Collinge loves that one. "Improving your life through better hearing..."

The voices...they're back...make it stop!  MAKE IT STOP!!!!

Chapman has a good coach, Mike Bokosky. The Panthers are always fundamentally sound if unspectacular to watch. Looking at this season's roster, keep an eye on Chapman's two senior guards, Ramon Mendoza and Miguel Bennett. Whitworth should be able to handle Chapman without too much trouble. It will certainly be a more interesting game than the Pirates' game with Caltech.

If it's still playing in town and if you have time, I strongly recommend that you catch a screening of Quantum Hoops, the documentary about CIT basketball.

OxyBob

Bennett is listed as a guard but he spends most of his time in the paint.  Mendoza is currently coming off the bench and seemingly still trying to figure out his role on this years team.  CU's strength is inside with bennett, kaiser and freshman riley.  The perimeter is very young and as of right now the definite weak spot on the team.  Wood can be very good, but ramme, aguilar and vreeburg (first off the bench) need to figure out what it takes to be successful at the college level.  CU is very far away from having two of the best guards on the west coast.  now if/once the guards figure it out they could be good, but that is a really big if...

Hey, my old friend OFS...good to see you back!  What do you say we start off on the right foot.  Redlands isn't running the system any longer, so we don't have to debate that any longer.  In all seriousness, I hope all is well...welcome home.

There we go... good win for my Leo's... Congrats to Coach Reed on his first victory.

[Browneagle64]

Haha, great translations PresidentBob. 

Btw, the recent issue of S.I. gave some love to "Quantum Hoops" and exposure to both the beaves/ DIII b-ball. Looks like this little film will indeed finally get national attention. Congratulations.

Happy thanksgiving.
