MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[elfinley]

Bob,
I have never seen you say a good thing about Chapman or its program, and when you report scores, you do not acknowledge CU as a member or report their scores like everyone else. I'm not complaining, but I would like to ask: Why do you hate Chapman so much? Just curious, so just asking...

[WoostAr]

Nonconference:
Chapman (7-5) @ La Verne (1-10)

OxyBob

haha



sorry if this is a repeat...but after going off for 55 against la verne and 31 against Caltech... Phil Hogan recognized on D3hoops...great player, Caltech could simply not contain him (assuming La Verne had the same issue).

Speaking of Anderson, the Ravens beat La Verne 72-68 in the Super Tents. ULV led 50-33 at 15:00, but Anderson outscored the Leopards 27-9 over the next 9 minutes for a 60-59 lead, and held off ULV down the stretch. ULV: Alex Wolpe 16, Jourdan Simmonds 16, Jake Vieth 14, Vince Bauer 10. La Verne (1-9) hosts MIT (8-2) on the 31st.

I am embarrassed to say that I did not notice Hogan's incredible performance when I read the ULV-Anderson box score. Just looked at ULV's stats. Shame on me.

55 

La Verne still running and gunning? Still, 55 is impressive...unless you play for Grinnell 

[OxyBob]

La Verne still running and gunning?

For games played through December 16, La Verne averaged 55.6 points per game, worst in the SCIAC, and 402nd out of 408 D-III teams ranked. So the answer is no.

Kind of anti-Grinnell.

Friday score:

Claremont 77 Bethesda 58

Claremont won easily. The Stags led at halftime 44-23 or 44-24 (the box score play-by-play is vague on this point), and 12 players got PT. Bethesda played only their 5 starters.

CMS: Jason Harrington 19, Cody Mivshek 17, Remy Pinson 12, Jack Grodahl 12 and 12 rebounds, Kevin Sullivan 11.

It's Saturday night in the SCIAC, but due to a really stupid decision by the league, Claremont (9-4, 5-0 SCIAC) isn't playing. Claremont's next SCIAC game will Saturday Jan. 12 at Redlands.

Saturday night SCIAC action:

Eyewitness report from Thousand Oaks:

Cal Lutheran 53 Oxy 51

Nice, well-behaved, quite crowd at CLU. Winter break, so no students were present to root on either side. Slow-moving game. CLU led 12-6 at 12:10. Oxy outscored the Kingsmen 15-2 the rest of the half and led 21-14 at halftime. CLU picked it up and led 44-35 at 6:45 and looked to be in control. Oxy chipped away and Juwan Rice's layup made it 51-50 at 2:15. Dan Wade responded with a jumper to make it 53-50. Ty Cobb was fouled with 51 seconds left and made one FT to cut the lead to 53-51. Oxy fouled Jayvaughn Nettles with 8 seconds to go. Nettles missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Oxy got off a couple of shots but couldn't get one to go, and CLU escaped with the win.

Oxy: Juwan Rice 18, Ty Cobb 9 and 10 rebounds. Oxy's leading scorer Kris Montoya (18.2 ppg) hobbled around on a bad foot and was held to 2 points. Montoya's status is up in the air.

CLU: Corey Quintana 17, Dan Wade 12, Jayvaughn Nettles 11.

Elsewhere:

Pomona 75 Caltech 42

No contest. Pomona led 34-13 at halftime. Pomona: John Weiss 15, Jake Klewer 13, Kyle McAndrews 12. CIT: Kc Emezie 12, Pan Wang 10. The Sagehens outrebounded the Beavers 54-31. Caltech was 0-for-16 shooting 3s.

Redlands 93 Whittier 79

WC led 47-46 at halftime. The Poets led 59-53 at 16:05. Redlands went on a 12-1 run to lead 65-60, and then steadily pulled away. Whittier: Tyree Landrum 15 and 9 rebounds but only 1-for-10 FTs, Jacob Porter 13, Aaron Fernandez 12, Cris Barnes-Williams 12, Willie Mebane 11. Redlands: Alex Rudd 24, Ricky Peetz 14, Brandon Hrboka 13, Eric Radford 10.

In nonconference play, La Verne got a 73-63 win over visiting Chapman. ULV: Alex Wolpe 19 and 12 rebounds, Jourdan Simmonds 17, Jake Vieth 13.

Cal Lutheran 53 Oxy 51

Nice, well-behaved, quite quiet crowd at CLU.

OxyBob

I'm sorry OxyBob, but a Panther took over my mind temporarily and I was compelled to make this change.

[Gregory Sager]

Man, I hate it when panthers take over my mind.

[OxyBob]

Tonight:

Caltech (1-12, 0-4 SCIAC) @ Oxy (5-8, 0-4)

Oxy is dinged up. Kris Montoya, the SCIAC's leading scorer (18.2 ppg), has a bad foot and is questionable. So is Juwan Rice, a transfer from Boston University, who scored 18 in Oxy's 53-51 loss to Cal Lutheran last Saturday. Rice suffered a concussion in the CLU game and is also questionable for tonight's game. As I previously posted, in December Oxy lost Deshun McCoy (17.0 ppg), who's no longer with the team.

Without Montoya and Rice, it'll be up to the rest of the Tigers to pick up the slack. Good opportunity for Caltech to get a conference road win for the first time since I don't know when. Could be exciting!

Well, decided to fight the traffic to go up and check out CMS in person tonight during their quasi SCIAC game tonight.
Maybe run into a CMS poster if any are at the game.

You have a loud baseball team on your side if memory serves.



If Caltech shoots like they did at Pomona (17% first half, 26% for the game, 0% from 3), they have no chance against Oxy or anyone else.  They have been taking open shots, but there are no points awarded for that...they gotta put it in the hoop.  Hopefully they got their shooting in this week.

See you tonight sir!
