tooth.....your sense of humor is ........boobalicious!  see ya soon.

Any news on the UR-CLU game?

[scandihoovian]

Thanks for the score, Bob.  I'm happy for the Kingsmen but surprised at the margin - I figure the CLU guards must have handled the pressure well and the Bulldogs were a bit cold from behind the arc.  I am looking forward to seeing a box score.

Congrats to Oxy on a solid win - it will be interesting to see how CMS retools for the rematch.

I am unsure if there's any connection between the article's author, Dustin Dow, and the Caltech coach, Roy Dow. I am also unsure if there's any connection between Tony Dow and the Beavers. I leave it to you to decide.

Bob,
I think you are trying to be a bit too cleaver.

Bob and GF-

I am sure you'll be fascinated to know that Jerry Mathers did a brief stint at Cal Lu in the late 60's.  There are unsubstantiated rumors that Eddie Haskell was a bad influence and got him kicked out of school...

Found a box score, looks like the Kingsmen shot 86% from the floor in the second half, and Danny Hagen was 16 for 16 from the floor for the game.

I am going to have to think about a comeback to that. I'll get back to you no later than June.

If you two keep this up much longer, I'm going to have you committed to the mental ward.

We are beginning to look like the MIAC football board, but here are some bios.

No mention of CLU, but I think some of them lived in the area.

When it comes to 3-pt FG percentage, the Traveling Freak Show is the bottom 20% in all of D-III, and they're even worse than that in overall FG percentage

But the Bulldogs do lead the nation in 3 ptrs made/game, assists/game, and steals per game.  And according to the stat sheet from scandi, it looks it was the Kingsmen "D" that stymied Redlands.  UR had more turnovers than assists for the first time in 4 games and were severly outrebounded 58-26.  The top 4 scorers for UR were held well below their averages....Amir w/ 19 (30.1), Markus w/ 18 (22), Coffey w/ 2 (14), and Thomas w/ 3 (11).

16 completely uncontested 1-footers, no doubt. I'm sure Hagen took tougher shots in warmups.
Edit: CLU had 108 of its 128 points in the paint

When was the last time you made 16 straight shots in a college basketball game?  I think Hagen is deserving of a little credit.  Isn't the idea to get the best possible shot anyway.

Quantity doesn't equal quality.

And congrats to Russell White as well.  Thanks for the info DGI.

Great win for Oxy.  I was hoping to get out to that game.  I thought Oxy would win, but not by that large of a margin, and I didnt think they would score that many pts against the CMS "D."  Impressive.

[sciacguru]

As for the UR system being called TFS, I agree with you (can't believe I just typed that).  And it is a joke (dang...agreed with you twice).  But I think we all know that when playing UR, they do try to block shots, foul, and take charges.  So I dont think that Hagen was all alone on all of his shots.  And in all the years of Coach Smith running the system, has any opponent shot 100% when taking that many shots?

But having read the stat sheet further, what I found impressive was the freshman Andy Meier with 26 pts, 13 rebs, and 9 assists.  Not bad for a 6'6 forward.

[scandihoovian]

Guru-

Hodges came close, I think he was 24/25 a couple of years ago...

I agree with you and Bob about Meier, he has been fun to watch thus far.

And finally, I guess I am wondering a little about what happened to PP against Redlands since the board unanimously agrees that the hens are well coached and always know what's coming  (That's not sarcasm, I'm genuinely curious)

[Howlinwolf]

Oxy rises to # 17 in this week's D3Hoops poll. Convincing win over the talented Stags gave them some more props.

SCIAC fille with potential  landmines. One is P-P tomorrow night.

[Browneagle64]

Sounds like Oxy sure did an impressive and good job against a great Stag Team.
If the tigers keep this up, look for them to stay on the top of the SCIAC with the stags far behind. (Just kidding)

What's the record for the hens so far? I haven't heard much from them as of late.

[Henhouse]

    As a Pomona alum, I try to get to as many PP games as possible. I was at the Redlands game and was disappointed in the way the guards handled the pressure. I live in Pasadena, and walked over to catch the PP/Cal Tech game. In the second half, Coach Cat inserted a seldom used guard #12. Where has he been? He ran the offense smoothly, hit shots, and provided much needed leadership. Why doesn't he play more?

[DIIIghetto]

Kats is still Kats.

I'm not sure what is happening out there but it seems like they are overall very young and that is hurting them against some more seasoned teams.  We are only a few games into the conference so it is too early to draw conclusions.  The fact that P-P still has the 2005-06 team photo on their Website half-way through the season is just simply an embarrassment.   I know times and resources are tough to come by at those two insitutions so maybe a parent can bring a camera, snap some photos and email them to the school so they can get up to date.
