Will there be an audio only feed?  I'd like to know so I can put it on my website for my loyal droves of listeners who are going wonder why "Golden Throat" isn't there.

Yes, there is an audio only feed for people with dialup connections.

Good luck to Oxy tomorrow, bring home the upset win. Regardless of the major screw up in seeding, Oxy has a huge chance to win some major national ink for the SCIAC. My game plan would be Betty, Betty, and then some more Betty. He needs to be Kobe like with the rock. Even though it hurts to say, Go Tigers!

Thanks for the good thoughts . . . the game is TODAY at 6:00 p.m. PST (per the D3 website . . . ignore Oxy's site that says the game was to be played last night . . . sadly, no results with that post).

GO TIGERS, IO TRIUMPHE

It's a Great day to be a tiger........

With the Men in orange and black set to take the floor in several hours, i hope that MC is ready to face a group of young men who will be determined to pull off a good win and be ready to represent the SCIAC.
The Betty game plan sounds nice, yet, whats even more better is the Newhall, betty, whitman, zebb, mills, kostic, pitcher and Oxy Co. game plan. I assure you that these men will play as a team and rely on sound defense. Good luck to both schools, but in the end, the tigers come out with a victory

Can I get an AMEN!

Just wanted to add my positive thoughts for the Tigers tonight - regardless of how the pairing came down it's a great opportunity for them and the SCIAC.

Thanks also to the folks at Mississippi College for giving us a chance to look/listen in to what I hope will be big win for Oxy.


Dare I say...

Eat 'em up, Tigers!

Hello all from the frozen tundra otherwise known as the Midwest, specifically suburban Chicago where its currently 30 degrees with light snow and a wind chill of 15.

The team I root for is a member of the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. We like to think we are the best basketball conference in the country with the possible exception of the WIAC which is comprised of the various State schools in Wisconsin who all have enrollments of 5000+.

Last year, we were fortunate enough to make the national tourney. We finished 20-5 (2nd in conference) and then won our inaugural conference tourney to go into the national at 22-5. Our reward for this was to be sent to St. Thomas, MN which is about a seven hour bus ride from our campus. A little tough to get many fans that far away from home especially on a weeknight. We felt very strongly we had really been screwed by the DIII Committee. We felt we deserved a better assignment as there were several closer choices they could have made.

However, I believe the DIII Committee has outdone themselves this year by sending an LA area team all the way down to Mississippi. And we thought we got screwed! 

I know Mississippi College has done very well recently. I am not familiar with their overall level of competition. I doubt it is anything like we face almost every night in conference play. However, thats not the real question here. Solely as an outside observer and DIII fan, I think Oxy has real justification to be more than just a little upset over their placement. However good MC is it sure seems, on the surface at least, that they have been handed a HUGE advantage by the committee. I am not saying this to disparage Oxy's ability or record or anything on the order. It just seems like the selection Committee could do a better job in how they assign games in what is supposed to be the crown jewel event of the season.

Taking nothing away from what I'm sure is a great team, but if MC does not win tonight, they have nobody to blame but themselves. They not only get to play at home, but against a team forced to make a long trip, probably without benefit of many fans at all to root them on.   

The Committe certainly has hard choices. However, they should be able to make more equitable assignments.

Whitworth wins in OT on Bryan Williams 3 point Buzzer Beater!!

Big ups to Cal Tech's Coach for coming on and posting, how many head coaches have done that?

And one, you make the comment about Oxy getting screwed on being sent across the country.

I am curious as to what your bracket would look like with the only 2 bids west of Interstate Highway 35 given out being Oxy and Whitworth.

I mention that in that Miss College probably flies north even tho' they are the number 1 seed.

The news on Betty Sucks 

You hate to see a team not at full strength, missing the POY of all people, especially this time of year.

33-16 MC, 3:38 left in 1st half.  Hang in there, hopefully something big can turn it around.

[NCChoctaw]

I don't think you could floor six at a time and beat MC right now.  They are rolling.  That said, it does suck not having a full strength opponent.

Mississippi College 42, Oxy 18, Halftime

OK, time to go all Redlands on them!

OxyBob

I just love that there is a Redlands reference during tournament time...

[Sabretooth Tiger]

Just a bummer that Sam's out.  MC is quick as snot and the Tigers just can't seem to get them to drop.

It ain't over, but I'm not counting on a comeback . . . no joy in mudville

eat'em up tigers!

[NCChoctaw]

ok, now I have to know what the Redlands reference is...

By the way Bob, what was the opening half strategy...to go all Caltech on them?
