MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

I am only going by what an Asst CIT Coach (from Florida) told me. I hope, if they all show up, that they can contribute
to CIT's efforts to compete at a higher level. Cit needs, as in baseball, a go to guy who can be a closer at the end of the game and put some w's in th w-l column.

I am a fan of CIT and always appreciate the the efforts they put forth.

Re: conference playoffs.

If UR wins, they are sole champs.
If CMS wins final game and PP is 3rd,
UR and CMS are both 2-0 against PP,
if WC is third or the next in rankings,
UR is winner because they were 2-0 against WC and CMS was 1-1,
It is a wash with ULV, as both teams beat ULV twice,only a CU scenario favors CMS
as CMS beat CU twice, and UR was 1-1 against CU.

But, anythiing can happen to change the final order of finish.

Redlands 76, Stags 64

Box Score: http://www.goredlands.com/sports/mbkb/2012-13/boxscores/20130216_yrxo.xml

Tough night for the Stags. Redlands played great and CMS never really seemed to get going. The Stags hung in there until about 10 minutes left in the game, when Ricky Peetz hit back-to-back threes to put Redlands up 55-49. Redlands held the lead from that point on as CMS went cold from beyond the arc, ending up 4-17 on threes in the second half.

CMS was led by Pinson and Mivshek with 17 and 16, respectively. Redlands got double digits from four guys -- Brendel (16), Kuklok (13), Peetz (13), Kirk (12).

Redlands wins the SCIAC regular season title, dethroning the Stags who had won four consecutive. Hopefully CMS can bounce back and win the tournament again!

Great game--very exciting. I thought the Stags played very well. (Bulldogs too.)
CMS has done so much better this season than i was expecting. Good luck in the tournament.

They definitely had to rely a lot on their young guys, but hopefully that means good things for the future.

Congratulations to Redlands. The Bulldogs end the regular season 20-5 and 15-1 in conference. UR is the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament. CMS ended its regular season 17-7 and 13-3 in SCIAC play, and will be the No. 2 seed. Congratulations to CMS head coach Ken Scalmanini for achieving his 15th consecutive winning season.

Pomona (14-9, 9-6) beat Oxy 76-62. Michael Cohen led the way with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. Kris Montoya scored 11 for Oxy, which ends its disappointing season 7-18; the Tigers' 7 victories are the fewest wins in a season in Brian Newhall's 25-year career.

On Tuesday night Pomona will host Whittier (13-11, 9-6), which beat up on Caltech 89-60. Chris Barnes-Williams scored a game-high 25 for the Poets. The Pomona-Whittier winner will be the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament and play at Claremont; the loser will be the No. 4 seed and play at Redlands.

In the other SCIAC game, La Verne was 13 down with 7 minutes to go, but came roaring back to beat Cal Lutheran 85-81. Jake Vieth (my choice for SCIAC Player of the Year) led all scorers with 19. The Leopards (10-14, 8-7) began the season 1-10, but have since gone 9-4. ULV finishes its season this Tuesday at Caltech (1-23, 0-15).

Also Tuesday night, Cal Lutheran (10-14) finishes its season with a meaningless nonconference game at Chapman.

OxyBob -- Thanks for the interesting game summary postings. You refer to all Chapman games as non-conference games and I don't understand why. Chapman is now a member of the SCIAC I believe. All of the Chapman games this year have counted as conference games - indeed Redlands' only conference loss was to Chapman. If it were a non conference loss, last night's game at CMS would not have meant less, as the title would have been settled.

madzillagd · February 17, 2013, 07:31:23 PM

Hoya86 - It's just OB's running joke. You are correct, they are part of the SCIAC in every way.

I would love for them to have 8 guys from Florida, but it's just not true...they would have to have gotten 8 in early action which is unheard of for Caltech (in a year they're shrinking their class size too).

Mike Edwards has a little brother though. Heard he applied. And I heard he can shoot a little bit. Pretty sure GOSOX can keep you updated on that.

Last chance for Caltech's core group tonight...home game, senior night, La Verne....here's hoping they can get one this year.

In view of Caltech's public reprimand, three years of probation, and postseason ban by the NCAA in 12 sports for using ineligible student-athletes, I certainly hope they didn't Tampa with those players from Florida.

In season's final game for both teams, Chapman (8-8 and 13-12) came alive in the second half and defeated Cal Lu
73-54 Tuesday night.

Game recap and box score at " www.chapmanathletics.com ".

WoostAr · February 20, 2013, 01:54:32 AM

Well Caltech didn't get it done tonight...La Verne continued to own the Beavers...they out-hustled and out played the Beavers.

Rich Reed also prepped his team very well from a scouting report. Were in the middle of everything Caltech tried to do.

On to the SCIAC tourney...expecting another Redlands CMS showdown to decide it all.

After a 1-10 start, La Verne turned it around and went 10-4 the rest of the way, including winning 5 of its last 6. The Leopards finished the conference season 9-7, tied for 4th place with Pomona.

Whittier beat Pomona 69-64. The Poets finished 3rd in the conference at 10-6 and will be the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament. Pomona is the No. 4 seed.

Friday night:

No. 4 seed Pomona @ No. 1 Redlands
No. 3 Whittier @ No. 2 Claremont

The winners play Saturday night for the SCIAC AQ at the highest remaining seed.
