MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

I think it's telling that these things happened so long ago that records aren't necessarily so clear.

Are you guys worried about his usage rate at all??  He plays 40 minutes unless it's a blowout (and then he plays 35 minutes) -- this should boost his stats a bit, but in March that is simply unsustainable.  He even brings the ball up fairly regularly...he literally gets no time off on the court -- in my opinion, that will not work against the best teams in the nation on back to back nights. (all of this, of course, presumes that CMS makes it to the post-season -- big assumption)

The minutes are substantial, but Tyler is as well conditioned as anyone in the nation (in my opinion) and knew going into this year that he was going to have to play 40 minutes a night. Early in the year when the Stags went back to back it didn't look to impact his performance, but the grind of a full year can have impact on even the best players. I think that this week off will be great for his legs and I know that the coaching staff does a great job of monitoring fatigue and making sure players are recovered and not being over-used. Also, the increase of media timeouts throughout the conference and in the NCAA help significantly as there are more stoppages and time for recovery. In the NCAAs they come even more often as the SCIAC usually has 15-10-5 timeouts while NCAA have 16-12-8-4.

It is a valid concern with the miles he has logged, but I know that it is all closely monitored and do no view it as a serious issue.

Caltech takes down Redlands 49-47!!

KC Emezie with 21 pts including a contested layup with .7 seconds left to go...Ricky Galiani 3-3 from 3.  Big win for the Caltech program.

Why Redlands can't get it together in basketball is beyond me. I really thought Coach Ducey would get the program going but it seems like the stink of Gary Smith remains.

RFB,
CIT was bound to put altogether sooner or later, it just happened to be against Redlands.


Although the UR record is not that good, they are not as bad as you paint them to be. Don't get all worked up about it, as spring football starts tomorrow and the season is quickly approaching.

Gary Smith in 36 years - 3 SCIAC titles. .500 Win %
Jim Ducey in first 7 years - 2 SCIAC titles. .516 Win %

I think the only stink is your attitude.  Stay on the football board.

Nah, I think I will hang here for a minute or two. It's too much fun reading your butthurt response.

I think Coach Ducey has the same number of SCIAC championship as Coach Maynard in that same period of time.  Guess Manynard just isnt the same coach he used to be.

Puhleez.. Coach Ducey should have to interview for his job again after losing to Cal Tech.

So what should happen to the Whittier coach then??

Not to be lost in the shuffle is that Redlands best player (Bjekovich) did not play against Caltech -- he was out injured.

Where is Oxy Bob when we need him?

[WoostAr]

Late season SCIAC shake up -- Whittier takes down Chapman the same week as they lose to Caltech -- holey moley!!

[WoostAr]

Caltech with some recognition of a couple of their players: Rob Anderson and KC Emezie.

Chapman at #3 a bit of a surprise to me with only 15 games that count...probably won't stay in that spot after last night's game factors in.

The WIAC moved to the Central??...I must have missed that...that's huge for the West.
