Does anyone know if the Chapman and (hopefully) Whitworth games are going to have video or audio or live stats?
Keeping my fingers crossed.

[dahlby]

I would think that at least Chapman would do live stats and/or audio, but will check in the morning and post to let you know for sure.  It would be at ............chapmanathletics.com

8PM...just confirmed, audio will be available at Chapman web site.

[Pat Coleman]

D3hoops.com will be broadcasting this game.

[dahlby]

PC, is that via Chapman announcers?

[Pat Coleman]

No. Craig Dunkin will be calling the game for us.

Good.  I hope you have OxyBob as the color man.  He does a very good job and is not a homer.

Whats the word from the Chapman camp?

How are the guys feeling getting ready for their first NCAA D3 game ever?

Any news on how they are preparing, after having not played anyone too difficult since their Hawaii trip?

Should be a very very exciting atmosphere at Hutton where the sound really echos, even when its not full. I havent seen filled to capacity in my 8-10 visits there, so it will be interesting to see how that plays a role in the game for both sides.

Gray Fox...OxyBob indicated that he would not be able to make it down to the game. Yes, it is too bad, as he does do a good color person. And you are right, when announcing, he is not a homer.

stag44..The guys are feeling good having made the tourney. How are they preparing? Layups, shoot arounds, offense, defense, you know, all the items needed to play a well rounded game against a very good team. No predictions from this writer.

Just remember, at the D3 level, it is the participation that is important. You know, all part of the 4 pillars
of a good well-rounded education.

Good luck (but not too much) to the staggs!

If any of you guys are coming to the game, I would like to meet you.

Congrats to the Stags on there win over Pomona Saturday night. It is always good beating your cross campus rivals for the 2nd time in a row for the SCIAC Championship. I am curious to hear who is SCIAC player of the year, as well as 1st team. There is no question Blees deserves the title for a second year in a row. I believe his stats are better than they were last year, and he shot much better from the field. He is so tough to guard due to his size and quickness. He usually has the opponent's big man guarding him, which ultimately causes match up problems.
I will be curious to see who guards Blees on Thursday. I believe if they can try to contain him, they will have a great shot at beating the stags. The biggest matchup will be the point guards. Toney has to do a good job containing him, and not allowing him to run muck in the open floor.
I believe the Stags are playing at a very high level, and will be ready for Chapman in every way. This is a completely different team that the team that beat Chapman earlier in the season. The Competition has continued to push the Stags to get better every week. I believe there conference competition will provide them with that extra confidence that I don't believe Chapman will have. I really believe you will see that on Thursday night. Pomona, Cal Lu, and Oxy are not West Coast Baptist and the other crappy teams that Chapman has played thus far.
I do have to give my Congrats to Chapman on there great season. I am happy that another So. Cal team made it into the playoffs. Good luck to you guys!

See you all on Thursday night! Stag44 I will text you throughout the game as usual!

Kinda noticable that the two Hen Ws took a little steam out of the Stag braggadocio on this thread.  One of my Stag friends who doesn't follow the team closely told me that he would have rather PP won the SCIAC but CMS swept the season.  Fear not, Scali & Co. avoided that disaster Saturday night. 

And now they get a chance to get Coach Scali his first ever NCAA Tourney win.  Good luck Stags, represent us well.

I have to say your "Stag Friend" is an idiot! Anyone who would rather sweep the season, but then lose the conference championship is a straight moron. It's really funny to me how people see this rivalry. I guarantee everyone thought that Pomona was going to sweep the season series. I bet if you ask Katz, he would rather win one game during the season (at home) and then win the SCIAC tourney and get an automatic bid to the NCAA's, than sweep the regular season. Obviously the regular season doesn't mean anything, because if CMS would have lost they wouldn't have gotten into the NCAA's at all.
I just want to give my apologies out to everyone (including all of the pomona students who walked quietely home after the game Saturday night) for Pomona barely staying over .500 for the season. Maybe next year! (they could be worse next year after basically losing their entire team to graduation)

I will take the League Championship and SCIAC Tournament Championship for the 2nd Straight Year anytime. Go Stags!!!

Don't worry...If Chapman can beat BYU Hawaii on their own turf, a D2 team that's currently 12-3 in the Pac-West and ranked 6th in the West, I'm sure they'll be well prepared for this game, even after the Stags "grueling" season, versus The Panthers "who play no one and beat no one" (direct quote from my good friend OxyBob).
