MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[scandihoovian]

DieHard-

The CLU men's teams are called the Kingsmen.  Your housemate, however, was a Regal - that's the problem with nicknames chosen pre-women's athletics.

You're coming to a conference with some classic nicknames, in addition to the Kingsmen and Regals you have:

Sagehens
Poets
Athenas
Stags
Leopards (or Leos)

Hello! Hello Hello Hello Hellooooo...

Lol... practice has started! What's going on peoples? 

[castle]

How about the Tournament expanding, 11 more bids for teams that had good seasons, but didn't win thier conference.  Probably won't help SCIAC teams much, unless somebody finishs second w/20+ wins.

[diehardfan]

well, we do know that the chances are better that before... that's not nothing!

it's sure going to make things interesting, whatever happens!

[fosheezie]

Oh yes, it is that time again....I can smell it, or is that the horrible odor coming from Coach Dains drawers over at Cal Lu.  Yes, practice is underway, and that diabolical genius Katmandu is busy over at P-P creating a monster.  I saw that someone predicted a 9-5 conference record for the Cocks.  Are you smoking something...Kat would never let that happen, especially with the frontcourt they have.  If they don't too big headed my boys Sexy Wexy, Al "Lew Alcindor Jr." Lloyd, and "Mr. Ohio" Tom Hollow, will run it.  As for Turner leaving PP, hey, Kat is a tough cookie to play for, he will tell you when you mess up, some guys can handle it, some guys can't.  Some guys hate him, but the dude gets results and he is a hell of a coach, so you can't disagree with the facts.

Fosheezie...you are right PP will be tough, especially the Big's.  I did predict them to be 9-5, but that was before I heard Lloyd was coming back.  With him, PP has to be the favorites.  I do recall PP going 6-8 (9-16 overall) in '02-'03 - so don't order your rings yet.

It could be the smell of bile from another PP first round gag job 

Fear not Fosheezie, I know the hens will be tough - especially with all that talent in the frontcourt.  It will be fun to watch them match up with all the young big kids the Kingsmen brought in.

How much help will Turner be for CMS?

Does anybody know if Oxy reloaded?

[dj_hyphen]

last i heard, PP might not have one of their key players this year...

[scandihoovian]

Hyphen-

Other than Turner?


Thought I'd also mention that CLU has updated the look and feel of it's sports website:

www.clusports.com

[dj_hyphen]

yup, but i don't want to speak on it unless it's official

[OxyFan21]

Hello again everybody.  I've been busy on the football site but just wanted to drop in at the start of this season for bball.  Pomona recieved some votes, but what is this about a player going across the street to CMS...I wonder how many times that has happened for even a non-athlete?  Seems...interesting.

PC, is the #28 team in your poll Southwestern (AZ)? 

[Gregory Sager]

No, it's the Southwestern Pirates of Georgetown, TX, co-champions of the SCAC with their archrival Trinity (TX) last season. Southwestern (AZ) is an NCCAA school.

[Pat Coleman]

When we got Pomona-Pitzer's preseason info for the Top 25 voters, they said Kamau Norman-Terrence and Chaz Turner were not coming back from last year.

[dj_hyphen]

yeah, luckily, the rumor I heard ended up not happening...so scratch that last post, thankfully

[diehardfan]

okay, I'm dying here... are there any scrimmages for SCIAC teams this week or anything??
