MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[D O.C.]

scheduel....a clever PR term for an upcoming game between two successful rivals

[dahlby]

What an improvement for the Chapman University team. 352 verses what, around 400 last year.
That must be unmatched in Southern California history!!!!

(I could not resist OxyBob's comment)

Nice post, stag44.  Gives me goosebumps just thinking about the game!

I'll be interested to see what the crowd is like.  CMC is hosting a major speaker on Wednesday, so a lot of fans won't be able to get down to the game until 8:00 or so.

Go to the game.  You can see Jessee Jackson just about anywhere.

Oh, I'll be there.  It's been on my calendar for months!

I'm just wondering what the CMS student section is going to look/sound like during the first half.

My prediction.  CMS down 5 at the half, then goes on a 6-0 run to start the second half, igniting the late-arriving crowd and propelling CMS to an 8 point win.

Jesse Jackson? What, is he part of the Famous Anachronism Speaker Series?

I heard that there will be an audio of the PP CMS game this Wednesday. 
There is a link in the Claremont schedule.
They won't have live stats, but it is great to have the audio.
Hopefully it will work.

As for Chapman, it's ranked No. 352 with an SOS of .455. I doubt if they'll be coming in here to brag about it.

OxyBob

No, there's no reason to brag about it... However, I can say this: Oxy's SOS would have looked better had they have the guts to play Chapman this season.

Oxy chose to play cupcakes University of San Diego-Cal State Fullerton- SMU not up to the caliber of Chapman but I'm sure they will work up to it someday.
I do believe they had a scrimmage with Chapman that I heard was a good game that went Oxys way.
Chapman is a good team this year! We should give them credit! They are ranked. It will all come out in the wash at the end of the season!

Chapdonger, you need to focus your energies elsewhere.  The SCIAC is a bottom-tier conference year in and year out.  We have had very few moments on the national scene (CLU beating W SP, Oxy beating Amherst & Williams, Whitworth - all at home, Oxy's Elite 8 run, fortunately PP got into the game this year with a Whitworth win on a neutral).  Outside of that, we just don't beat national caliber teams.   

But looking at the L CMS hung on your best team in a decade this year, and the L that was rumored to have been laid on you in a scrimmage against Oxy this year, nobody in this conference is running from your team.  I just did a quick search and Oxy is 5-1 against your team over the past 7 years.  Not exactly the kind of results that makes a coach duck someone. 

We'll see you in the first round of the tournament and frankly, I am glad because it will enable CMS or PP to come out of the tournament this year with 1 win and 1 loss.  Just as certain as it is that when we play the NWC on the road our boys will play shell-shocked, our coaches will make snide remarks about our being out-manned and get outcoached, we will play against Chapman like it is the red-headed SCIAC stepchild.

Ha...I wouldn't even dare making such a prognosis against any team in the playoffs because it is a whole different kind of animal. One game, win or pack your bags. But OK, the gauntlet is thrown. All I can say is... Bring it on, my friend! Shall we bet a "virtual" bottle of Champagne?! Unless you're still underage, then it could be a rocky road ice-cream...

As OxyBob would say: irrelevant! Everyone knows what the outcome of these games are going to be before the game even starts. This clearly plays a role in the minds of all players. What is the point of playing USD when even their bench can beat you with one hand tied behind their back? Better play Chapman, this helps you better understand where you are.

I do believe they had a scrimmage with Chapman that I heard was a good game that went Oxys way.

Pure speculation! If you ask the Chapman players they will give you the opposite answer. And who knows since no one kept score and it wasn't played as an "official" game, allowing coaches to experiment.

Chapman is a good team this year! We should give them credit! They are ranked. It will all come out in the wash at the end of the season!

Thank you for the compliment! Oxy is a great team too year in year out. This year, no one really expected them to do well, yet they're showing they are a force to contend with in the SCIAC. And so is CMS by the way. They're on top of the SCIAC and beat a ranked team...

If you ask the kids if they would rather play a D1 school or a D 3 school in a game it would be hands down the D1 school. For the kids it's about seeing how they stack up individually and to say they did!

It's all good and most of the D3 kids will graduate and write their own papers! A novel concept at some D1 schools.

And most will end up working for their Cal Tech opponents.
