Bob,

are you planning on going to the WW Pomona game?  If you are I would be interested to here your thoughts on WW

[Browneagle64]

President Bob,

I think you forgot to mention that the men in orange in black have a game tonight against the Golden Eagles of La Sierra. I understand that you are busy preparing your agenda for the first 100 days in office at the rock, but come on, Coach Newhall and Co. are ready to get better. 

[Browneagle64]

btw, Good luck to the Young Leps tonight against, yet, another good NWc team I'll try to keep you guys updated on this game, as i may just have some time to slip out of my class at La Verne and catch the game at the Super tents.

Just out of curiosity, how long has Whitworth been in So Cal?  Did they go back up north after the Cal Tech tournament and then come back for Redlands?  Or are they just taking the week off of classes?  I may be mistaken, but I don't remember the Techsters taking a week off from school in Quantum Hoops.  I can't imagine any  SCIAC schools being ok with that.  I guess things are a little different up north. 

A few early season thoughts...

PP - 76 ppg, 71 opponents ppg
CMS - 57 ppg, 57 opponents ppg

Looks like Scali and Kats are still as close as ever and yet never further apart.

Oxy over WCB by 9
PP over WCB by 12
Whittier over WCB by 30

La Verne over Chapman is probably this years game that will keep the Panthers out of the tourney.  A win that is looking better and better for the young Leos as Chapman keeps winning.

Cal Lu only playing 7 guys, maybe just trying to hang on until Meier comes back.

Its still early...

Thanks for the correction Bob

Just got back from handling my business in La Verne.

Congrats to the Leo's on their win tonight against Willamette. I thought that Willamette would have come down south ready to show off their A- game and to represent a strong NWC. However, i ended up witnessing to many turnovers from a team that looked much better than the leo's.

Willamette is definately down this year.  They lost their best player last year Nugent, who could do it all.  Good win for the Leos though

Tuesday night's result:

Whittier lost to Biola, 59-45. The Eagles got off to a quick 15-4 lead, and were up 31-16 at the half. For the game, Whittier shot a dreadful 26% from the floor. Vernon Covington had 11 points and Michael Archuletta scored 10 off the bench for the Poets.

Whittier is 3-2. The Poets' next game is at home against The Master's College on Dec. 8.

OB,

  Thanks for the updates. I'm going to try and follow the round ball. Still trying to grasp the fact that football is over..but I'm working on it. The Poets have a Troy guy on the basketball team as well, so I got that going for me. What is your scouting report on the Poet squad??

Thanks

[snoop dawg]

OB.....I mean Prez OB.....I gather you saw Redlands play.....are they using a different style of play than in the past?

[Fear the Poet]

thanks OB!

[D O.C.]

Did I mention congratulations on the scheduling and pasting of the Afghanistan National Team, OB? Will A.N.T. be playing Haskell as well?

[snoop dawg]

OB....you should realize by now that DO.C. sees life through purple shaded glasses        <Sarcasm intended>

Gallaudet vs. Caltech @ Cal Lutheran
Can Caltech win against 1-7 Gallaudet?

OxyBob

We'll be waiting to hear from you.

Next year the CLU/Caltech Tournament will include Lawrence.

Anyone else notice the interesting coincidence that Cal Lu played less than half the November to mid-December games than any other SCIAC school?   That couldn't have been influenced last spring by a coaching staff trying also working behind the scenes to convince a community that their kids were good kids who deserved second chances?  Call me a conspiracy theorist. 

Anyway, here is to hoping Cal Lu, reformed criminals and all, can be the one SCIAC team who can rise above what otherwise thus far looks like a one-and-done group at the top of the conference.

[sciac_is_fun]

here's a start...
Cal Lu exacts a little revenge on Chapman, 53-50, in a game that should not have been this close.  The Kingsmen took the lead early and never gave it up, but they nearly gave it away.

Meier comes back and goes 6-11 for 15, and 8 boards in 26 min (he didn't start).
