Saturday, Dec. 7 schedule:

Conference games:
Pomona @ Caltech
Whittier @ Redlands
La Verne @ Occidental

Nonconference:
Cal Lutheran @ Chapman

Do my eyes deceive me, or do the SCIAC men's games on Saturdays start at 5:00 p.m., followed by the women's games at 7:00 p.m.? Who came up with that bright idea?

Bob,
Briefly recapped.........the NCAA came up with it, having to do with gender equality.
Can't wait for your response!

Chapman @ Redlands: Early on I thought Chapman was going win fairly easily because the Redlands couldn't hit anything while Hamasaki was hitting everything.   In came Bjekovic and Glapion for the Bulldogs and those two guys turned the game around.  Bjekovic was grabbing every rebound in sight and Glapion provided better ball handling and speed.

The normally productive Chapman bench did not produce (ZERO points entire game). 

What won the game for Chapman was Nick Dragovich's play in the second half, especially on the boards.  With about 30 seconds left in the game and Chapman up three, his offensive rebound after a Zavrsnick missed 3 pointer allowed Chapman to call a time out, set up a play which put Zavrsnick on the line and he made one of two to get them a four point lead and some breathing room. 

Hamasaki was magnificent scoring 27 with 16 in the second half.  There was a stretch in the second half with I think under seven minutes to play, Each time Redlands tied the score, Hamasaki hit shots to keep the Panthers ahead.

Oxy Bob, when will you grant Chapman entrance into the SCIAC?

The memo must not have reached the Pacific Northwest, where according to the teams' schedules the women's games start at 6:00 p.m. followed by the men's games at 8:00 p.m. Sexist pigs.

Really, the 5:00 p.m. game start time for the men on Saturdays is just a stupid SCIAC thing, right?

They've been flip-flopping the start times for men/women NESCAC games the past couple of years.  Last year was men first, women second.  This year is women first, men second.

Personally, I think that more people come for the men's game and arrive early and are able to catch the end of the women's game. I don't think too many will stick around for the women's game. Although, women's attendance is not up to the men's,
it is still pretty good.

I think it should be left up to the individual schools, based on their preferences.

Nice to know that the highfalutin schools in the NESCAC can come up with the same stupid ideas as those in the SCIAC.

Pomona is a NESCAC wannabe.  Only geography is stopping them.  They probably came up with the idea in conjunction with the Oxy AD.

From what I heard bouncing around, the thought went there might be more people in attendance at the womens' games if the mens' games went first...so they're trying that theory out.

Excited to see PP play this weekend.

Maybe they can combine the men and the women and play co-ed games. For fairness, for each team only one man allowed on the court at a time. Men cannot dunk, hand-check, or press. Everyone must play at least 5 minutes. 20-point lead mercy rule so no one's feelings get hurt. Attendance will soar.

Keep firing up those long, high-arcing, Lynn Shackelford-esque jump shots!

No hand-check?  That's why the men would consider those rules.
