CMS coach did great on hoopsville. He is the last coach interviewed during the 2 hour talk. They archive the talks on d3hoops.com.

(I think we need more yellow heads. It is somtimes difficult to find a head that expresses my emotions.)

I am so confused about these rankings that I looked up Wisconsin on the US map--and it is not in the West--despite the fact that the top 3 teams in the Western Region are in Wisconsin.
In fact, Wisconsin doesn't even look like it is in the western half of the US. The whole things is so absurd my head is going to explode.

Well, there is only one Division III school in the entirety of the Mountain Time Zone, so a list of the 50-some westernmost schools in Division III extends to Wisconsin, yes.

wow. I had no idea there were so few D3 schools in the western half of the US.
Maybe we went the junior college route instead of D3 size school.

The two rankings are so different that either I am misunderstanding something or something is off.

YES

It does make you wonder why CMS used up their road trip playing out of region games against teams that don't make an impression. They did play St. Olaf and win (3rd in the MIAC behind St Thomas and Gustavus), but just think if they had flown to Wisconsin to play two of the UW teams or Minnesota and played some of the MIAC teams (St. Thomas was actually out here and played two of the SCIAC schools) or up to Seattle for Whitworth. It would have been good practice for the tournament anyways.

Why would Whitworth play CMS in Seattle?

Whitworth played Calvin in the Seattle area.

My mistake....Spokane....point still stands though.

Whitworth played Calvin in the Seattle area.

In a once in a blue moon type of game. It's not like a big DI program who can have a neutral site game and make money. Whitworth undoubtedly lost money having the game at Mercer Island HS. It was just a nice thing to do for Coach Logie and his family/friends during his first year as HC.

WoostAr · February 11, 2012, 08:16:58 PM

Rat.

The point is that if they had played that team (wherever....Timbuktu even) it would have been a regional game which would have helped in terms of experience and in terms of regional rankings.

My point being it's not unprecedented.

Quick predictions for games tonight:

CMS @ Redlands
Big game for both teams. Stags could inch closer to getting the 1seed for the SCIAC tourney while Redlands is coming off a tough loss and needs the win to solidify their top-4 status. Stags starting a crucial 3 consecutive games road at the always rowdy Currier Gym.

Stags win behind big games from Blees and Gaffney, 72-64

Oxy @ Whittier
Big game for both teams. For Whittier need the win to stay in contention for the top SCIAC seed. Oxy needs this to continue keeping pressure on the top-4.

In a tough game, Whittier wins 75-62

PP @ ULV
PP needs to rebound after upset loss to CLU on Wed. On the other side, ULV just can play spoiler at home. Look for PP to win this one easily.

PP wins 72-61

CLU @ Caltech
CLU still chugging along and hoping for some help to back door into the top4. Caltech looking to get a big upset win. Think this will be an easy win for CLU

CLU wins 66-42

WoostAr,

I understood your point, just wanted to see if you thought Whitworth was in Seattle or if you genuinely wanted a neutral site game. Just curious.

My response was more to PC who was just being a smart a** with the Calvin post

cmsme · February 12, 2012, 12:48:53 AM

2-11-12 CMS beat REdlands 75 - 65.
Cms made 78% of their free throws--31 points

Manni was 16-16 and Chris Blees was 10 - 15!
Tristan Kirk did not play for Redlands. It looked like he got hurt at end of previous game with Whittier. Maybe he is still out because of that.

I could not see the game very well on my little screen, but I thought CMS looked akward and not very confident the first half. They didn't seem to move the ball around the way they normally do. Did anyone else watch the game?

Yeah, I made the drive out for the game. I thought CMS played well, minus a few stretches when they would turn the ball over and Redlands would take advantage to go on little runs. CMS played really well on defense and Redlands did not look comfortable all night. They made a lot of tough shots to stay in the game, but with CMS hitting their free throws the outcome was never really in doubt. Nice start to the road swing for the Stags!
