The bean counters must hoping to make it up in the finals.

Good one, Ralph.  But I didn't get the humor until I read it the second time.

Don't see anything for Pomona @ Whittier.

What's interesting about the UCSC "field house" picture is that if you look at the base board running along the diagonal on the left, you can plainly see the slime trail remnant of the banana slugs.  8)

Last year, at this time.  Was Oxy  ranked with the top 25 teams in Div. lll  ?

No charge at CMS games.  Be early if playing Pomona.

I just heard that this year they are charging at both home sites for the 1st round and Championship game. $2 for children under 12 and Seniors. $5 for adults. All students/facutly/staff with a valid college ID will not be charged at the game. Just thought I would give everyone the scoop.

I also heard that CMS is having a "White out in Ducey Gym" night asking all CMS fans to wear white shirts or buy a 6th man shirt at the game for $5. Should be a great atmosphere tonight!

I was charged $2 at Oxy last night for the women's semifinal against Whittier. The Oxy kid in the ticket booth assumed I was a "senior." Thanks a whole big bunch, you little whippersnapper.

But I'm guessing your pride didn't extend to forking over the extra $3!

SCIAC Semifinals

Claremont 60, Cal Lutheran 54

CMS: Chris Blees 14 pts and 9 rebs, Jason Toney 12 pts, 7 rebs, 5 assists, 3 steals, Connor Faught 11
CLU: Kyle Knudsen 29, Aaron Fisher 19 pts and 13 rebs
Halftime: CMS 28-18
Rebounds: CMS 37-31

Cal Lutheran shot a miserable 26% on 6-for-23 in the first half. Claremont built a 15-point lead at 28-13 with 3:10 left before CLU rallied and trailed by 10, 28-18, at the break. Kyle Knudsen made three 3-pointers as part of a 15-5 run, and the Kingsmen tied it at 33 with 14 minutes left. Aaron Van Klaveren's 3-point play gave CLU a 48-44 lead, but the Stags retook the lead on Connor Faught's 3-ball, and then Chris Blees' layup and 2 FTs by Jason Toney made it a 9-0 run, and CMS led 53-48. The Stags made 7-of-8 FTs in the last minute to preserve the lead. CMS was only 6-for-20 FGs (30%) in the second half, but made up for it with 18-for-23 FTs (19-for-25 total). Cal Lutheran finishes the season 18-8.

Pomona 92, Whittier 76

PP: David Liss 27 pts, 4 rebs and 3 assists, Jeremy Namkung 19 pts and 5 rebs, Justin Sexton 16 pts, 11 rebs, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Adam Chaimowitz 10
WC: Travis Crow 15 pts, 4 rebs and 4 assists, Mike Archuletta 12 pts, 6 rebs, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Marcus Gibson 14
Halftime: Pomona 47-32
Rebounds: Pomona 39-30

Pomona led from start to finish. The Sagehens started the game 7-0, and Jeremy Namkung's basket and one followed by a Namkung 3-ball gave Pomona a 15-point halftime lead. In the second half, Whittier cut the Sagehens' lead to 69-65 at 6:15, but that's as close as the Poets would get. A 3-ball by David Liss, and 2 more 3-pointers by Namkung (4-for-4 3s) built the lead to 13, 80-67, and that was all she wrote. Whittier finishes the season 16-10.

Tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Temple of Doom, Pomona (14-12) faces Claremont (20-6) for the conference tournament championship and the SCIAC AQ to the NCAA playoffs.
