As for last night, let's face it, PP got a ton of breaks last night (65% team hitting all but 3 FT's, unbelievable bounces on Knowles' 3 and Porter's FT, the tie-up that could've gone either way), not to mention picking up a Jordan-esque foul call just about every time they went to the basket.  Not to take anything away from PP"s gritty effort, and I know I'll get static from the PP faithful, but karma was on their side last night.

You will get static, if you want to talk about bad calls you should also mention the two offensive fouls on Lloyd, or the over the back calls on Porter that could have also gone  against Betty on a couple tap-ins.

As to your jump ball complaint, Oswald, I asked lloyd after the game. Here's a direct quote "absolutely I had my hand on the ball before he started yellying time out, if they'd given them that TO it would have been awful. That said...all the oxy players were right in the first half when they wanted a goal tend on Alexander's lay-up"...Refs aren't perfect if they'd called hand checking fouls in game one, maybe lloyd would have shot more then ZERO free throws and PP would have won both, but they didn't.

Also,  tough one for the Techies I would have loved to see them get a W in league finally

Last time I checked, nobody from the 1996 or 2000 squads are still around...so this shouldn't even be an issue.  Historically, yes, Oxy was not part of the "Big 3." 

Right now, however, you can't talk about the SCIAC without at the very least mentioning the Tigers.

Hopefully this year will be different, but I don't seem to remember the "Big 3" making any kind of noise in post-season.

Good luck to CMS and maybe the NCAA will be nice to the Tigers.

I have a question for you guys

why does it always have to be that people will always bring up their schools past records and not their present records to make an argument? THis was the same thing that was mentioned about a couple of football programs in the SCIAC board.

Granted that some of these schools where indeed powerhouses in the past, but these fans will do anything to bring that up. Sure we have to congradulate them for their past success but we have to look at the present and not the past. Oxy has done well in B-ball and football for the past 5 years since the start of a new millinium. Schools will do anything in their power to change their past and do better for the future. THerefore, i think we should all look at the present, stop bring up and the past and just kill this topic...

I'll post this here because I don't think anyone's checked the Women's board in the last 6 months...

Thanks, Pat, for putting the Regals on the front page in honor of their second straight SCIAC championship.  I caught the last half of the broadcast and it was an awesome comeback - I think they were down 13 or 14 at one point in the second half.  Lauren Stroot had a great game but several other players stepped up down the stretch.

Between Lepiashanski's dunk and Shim's game winner with 3 seconds left both the Men and Women got a chance to close out the scoring in the old gym in style. 

I wish the Regals luck in the postseason.

No problem. It wouldn't have been possible, though, without CLU putting game-day photos on its web site.

Congrats to the Regals, it was good news when I read that on the front page this morning.

Tough days for Tiger Football.

QuoteWhat is the deal, people? Is it too much to read the front page before complaining??
Must be the smog.
Actually, the number of days that we are out of attainment for PM-10 and PM-2.5 isn't as bad in the winter during the basketball season. No excuses. :P ;)

I still think the Greg's mock argument about whether sky is blue post is the funniest post I've ever read... but your post had me laughing pretty hard Sage!  :D

I've decided that Oxy HATES me... here I was, totally and completely overwhelmingly psyched, because Oxy was a shoo in to host a first round sectional, and a good shot at the second one due to their awesome SOSI, top regional ranking, and in region record... and now they might now even make the playoffs? And the SCIAC might not get a single playoff home game??? Waaah!  :'( >:( :( :-[ :-\ ???

I am probably the only person in the world who wants to summer in CA and winter in the Midwest.  :D

Look for Oxy to wind up fourth or fifth in this week's ranking, and then to drop further in the final ranking that only the committee sees on Selection Monday. They may be seventh or eighth in that ranking, or they may even drop out entirely, depending upon how Whitworth or Willamette fares in the NWC tourney.

My guess is that Oxy is not yet out of the Pool C running, but their prospects are dire.

on the plus side... the answer is fourth, instead of fifth  :-\

but the real plus is that oxy is ranked above all teams which are currently second in their conference... the only upset in the conference tourney is Whitewater or La Crosse upsetting stout, Oxy could still be the second or third Pool C candidate from the region.

The chances are still dire... but maybe not THAT dire?  ???

Diehard, I'm glad that someone "got" this.  You should know, though, that this was not from the official Oxy site.  It was from oxybroadcast.com, which is the official site of only my living room.

 :D I just figured since there was a direct link from the oxy site...  :D

thanks for the fyi  :)

I am not completely sure, but I do not think those rankings include the Pomona loss, look for that loss and a Caltech win to drop Oxy a spot or two down the rankings.

Exactly. That's why I said that the situation was worse for Oxy than would be indicated by Wednesday's ranking. It doesn't reflect either the Pomona-Pitzer loss or the upcoming Pyrrhic victory over Caltech.
