MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[scandihoovian]

So I tune in to oxybroadcast.com and lo, to my surprise, I am treated to the "color man" stylings of OxyBob...

To think I've known him since post #1 

Nice game call, as always.

The game is all tied up about three minutes into the 2nd half.

Oxy wins: 64-59.  Nice win for the Tigers at Pomona.

Thanks for the call, Craig and Bob!

The CLU website has the Kingsmen victorious over CMS 55-42.  That's a great win for the Kingsmen down in the Temple of Doom - and makes this Saturday's showdown with Oxy that much more meaningful.

Eyewitness report from Pomona:

I may not be the next Stu Lantz, but that was fun nonetheless. Thanks to Craig Dunkin aka tigersports for subjecting his audience to my meandering commentary.

  Bob:  I thought you wore the headset very well !  Enjoyed meeting and visiting with you.  By the way I thought the refs did and exceptional job of calling the game and letting the teams play

OB, I think you reversed the stereotypical student descriptions of Pomona and Pitzer.

Sasich, Oxy's formidable inside player who was an ideal complement to Whitman's outside shooting threat, is out for the year. A significant blow and a frustrating end to a b'ball career beset more by injuries than playing time.

Oxy will have to rely on 7-8 players and get contributions from all of them if they are to make a run at the title.

I'm sorry I missed that.  I hope you were careful always to call them the "Oxytigers!"

Here's the game writeup from the CLU website.  The Kingsmen broke a nine game losing streak at the TOD.

OB, I think you reversed the stereotypical student descriptions of Pomona and Pitzer.

That's my impression as well.  Isn't it the Pitzer student body that can take classes on the societal role of YouTube and the growing role of hemp in the global economy?

Bob was allowed to color comment last nights Tiger-hen game? That is awesome. 1st bob quits his day job and then is suddenly picked up by Tigersports to add comments for the game; what a great move. As always great job to tigersports and bob for calling the game.
What's next, Snoop and RFB doing color commentary for the dawgs???

Btw, great win for the men in orange and black last night. However, it's sad to hear that big man Joe Sasich is out for the rest of the year (?). I hope this is not true, as Joe was definately starting to get better throughout the season and adding great support to Coach Newhall's and co.'s plans.   

Congrats to the rest of the sciac teams who also got a W last night

[Browneagle64]

I don't think Joe was once a scrippse who studied "his balls off" to play at Oxy, was he???.

[Gregory Sager]

This comes just as Sasich was named SCIAC player of the week. From the Oxy website it looks like not only is Sasich out sick, but he also changed gender, which I suppose is the unkindest cut of all:

That's a gender change? O-Bob, the person in the picture to which you linked appears to be a strapping young fellow with a goatee. Not that I want to pry or anything, but are all Oxy coeds that ... uh ... severe-looking?

[TeeDub]

obviously the write up and not the photo...I don't think it was meant as a jab at the way 'he' plays.

Congratulations to the men in orange and black for their win against Cal Lu tonight. Accodring to the Oxy website tonight: Oxy edged Cal Lu 67
58. I am sure Bob wintnessed Coach Newhall and co.'s well executed game plan and intensity against a very good cal lu team.

I hope that both Bob and Scandi did find their car's still in the park lot though. 

[sciac_is_fun]

i found my car in the parking lot after the game
...along with many others.  It was a pretty good crowd there tonight - the new gym was pretty much filled out. 

I only saw the last 8-10 minutes.  When I got there Oxy led by 8.  CLU pulled within 2 at one point behind strong offensive play by Mychal Owens, who is LEGIT.  He is quite obviously more impressive (and temperate) than Meier, in my opinion. 

But a couple fortunate bounces went Oxy's way - loose balls and rebound tip-outs straight to Whitman alone at the arc, who nailed 'em.  He also had a pull up from well behind the line at the top of the key.  His shooting-including 10-10 ft-gave Oxy their comfortable margin in the last minute. 

[scandihoovian]

I caught the last six minutes of the first half and all of second half of the Oxy-CLU game.  The Kingsmen were down five when I came in but put together a decent little run to take a two point lead into the half.  Inniss was particularly effective for CalLu during this stretch.

Oxy opened the second half strong and seized the momentum.  They limited CLU's opportunities on the perimeter and moved the ball nicely on the offensive end to score consistently.  Several different Tigers hit key shots as they built a lead that grew to eleven at one point.  Cal Lu staged a decent comeback - but at a few key moments down the stretch they came up short.  As Bob predicted, the one area CLU did well, especially during the comeback, was Owens work down low.  He had several impressive baskets as CLU pulled close. 

In the end Oxy just played a real solid game and hit nearly all of their free throws down the stretch (as sciacisfun said about Whitman ).  Nice job by the Tigers. Here's hoping Cal Lu can turn the tables in the rematch.

Since no one, besides our dear OB, post or reads the in the women's forums, I will lament here. Just checked the CMS website for scores. I cannot believe the CMS ladies lost to CalTech?! Christ. One point or not. Wow.. just wow... very disappointing.
