MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Gosox]

My alama mater, the APU Cougars,  handled Oxy last night.  The all-time series is now 18-6, and APU has won the last 13 meetings.
Juwan Rice, the Boston University transfer, had 20..Oxy had 4 others in double digits- Johnson 14, Hawk 11, Levy 15, and Friedman 14...I must say I like the up tempo offense Newhall has adopted....they still got 81 points on under 40% shooting, not bad....they are attempting a full court press, which has some holes, but the effort will pay off I think in the long run.  APU also had 5 players in double digits, with Troy Leaf leading the way with 24, APU shot over 50% overall.....a few dunks were witnessed,  The Tigers Friedman, unfortunately was the recipient of a posterizing dunk by APU's Bruce English towards the end of the game...one of the best I have seen.  Other than that, good game for both teams to work on some things.

Fun Fact:

Through 2 games Juwan Rice has 15 steals!...that's a season's worth!

Caltech dropped a tight one to George Fox tonight 99-96...Lawrence Lee 38 pts 10 rebounds. 

there was an quick 11 point swing with about 13 minutes to go that was the difference. 

[WoostAr]

Caltech imploded in the last ten minutes against Willamette to lose 79-73...they were up 14 with 10 to go.

Watched the Laverne game...very up tempo. the boys really delivered on the boards when it counted....made some clutch 3's down the stretch as well..did well with their defensive assignments as well....represented the SCIAC well up here..nice job to Coach Reed!

D3Hoops Pre-Season All Americans out..

Very shocked/surprised that Tyler Gaffaney was not on the list though. I'm guessing that everyone thought he was graduated when in fact he back.

How about bringing back Miles Taylor and Mani Maceira while you're at it?

Claremont is off to a 3-1 start. The Stags lost their opener 71-67 to Ohio Northern in Milwaukee, but since then have wins over Illinois Tech, San Diego Christian, and Trinity (TX). CMS is home to Lewis & Clark this Friday.

Coming up: D3hoops.com Men's Top 25 No. 7 Wisconsin-Stevens Point will be in Claremont to face Pomona on Dec. 29 and CMS on Dec. 31.

We may as well bring back Chris Blees and Pat Lacey if you want to keep it consistent. It's a testament to the school that all these guys want to come back and get their MBAs while competing for one more year.

Stags looked GREAT in the 2nd half of both games in the Wells Classic this weekend. I'll be posting a recap shortly.

[WoostAr]

Caltech was out-classed by Whitworth...it has been a while since I've seen a team with offensive sets as crisp as Whitworth's.

Caltech is taking a 2 week break from games for finals followed by games at home against Santa Cruz, Transylvania and Mt Aloysius before the Christmas break.  Caltech got Santa Cruz last year...I think they can get a couple wins heading into the new year.

[WoostAr]

Also, looking forward to the Pointers visiting -- think I will make the trip out to Claremont for one or both of those games.

Well the NWC thread has been hijacked...can we talk basketball here?

Caltech is vastly improved from Caltech of even 4-5 years ago. I remember a few Hayford teams where the starters wouldn't play more than 5 minutes and they'd still win by 50.

If anyone has been "impressive" in a 30 point loss, Caltech is it. Kudos.

I'm torn on Chapman. On one hand they beat Whitman and shut up the lone Missionary poster on the NWC forums for a good week. On the other hand their non-conference schedule is absolute crap and looks like a play to get an at-large/pool c spot in the tournament, in case CMS beats them in the conference tourney

Last night Oxy lost 73-67 to something called Bristol University, which is located in Anaheim across the street from the Big A, and which used to be called Kensington College, which trained people to be paralegals and legal secretaries. Bristol is 2-5. Its other win was against CLU. Go SCIAC!
