OB-  What do you think about teams scheduling Cal Tech on their holiday trips?  Seems like a little bit of a waste if you ask me.  Maybe they don't have a choice or maybe they do it since it's a west region game

The D3hoops front page has Oxy down at the half to UCSC...is that correct?

It must be.  Santa Cruz won 62-55.  I'm sure OxyBob will fill us in.

Eyewitness report from Eagle Rock:

UC Santa Cruz 62, Oxy 55

Oxy: Henry Meier 14 pts, 10 rebs and 4 assists, David Ostrow 9 pts and 5 assists, Sean Anderson 9
UCSC: Ryan Matsuoka 22, Eshon Mortezaie 12

Halftime: UCSC 36-29
Rebounds: UCSC 35-34
Records: Oxy 2-3, UCSC 1-6

Oxy led 28-25 with 5:30 to go in the first half, but Santa Cruz finished on an 11-1 run and led by 7 at the half. In the second half the Tigers led 39-38 with 15:10 to go, but Ryan Matsuoka's 3-ball gave the Banana Slugs a 51-44 lead and they hung on for the victory. One bright spot for Oxy was Clark Gordon, who came off the bench with great enthusiasm and energy and scored 8, grabbed 6 rebounds, and had an assist and a block.

The scene shifts from Oxy to Caltech tomorrow. At 2:00 p.m. Oxy plays St. John's, which lost 52-45 to Chapman, while UCSC takes on Caltech at 4:00 p.m. Best game of the day pits Whitworth (3-0) against Chapman (3-0) at noon.

OxyBob,

I must say I am pretty surprised.  Is UCSC vastly improved this year?  From the looks of the other scores the NWC struggled a bit tonight against the SCIAC.

I must say I am pretty surprised.  Is UCSC vastly improved this year?  From the looks of the other scores the NWC struggled a bit tonight against the SCIAC.

St. John's 75, Oxy 61

Oxy: Henry Meier 22 pts and 12 rebs, David Ostrow 14
SJU: Chris Schwartz 25 (7-for-13 3s), Andrew Latzke 14, Andy Burns 12, Aaron Burtzel 8 pts and 11 rebs

Halftime: SJU 40-26
Rebounds: SJU 32-27
Records: Oxy 2-4, SJU 2-4

St. John's led from start to finish.

LogShow, I don't want to take anything away from Santa Cruz, which defeated Oxy and has now won 2 in a row after defeating Caltech 61-46. Oxy lost 7 players to graduation, and 4 players expected to come back didn't for one reason or another, so the Tigers have started all over with a lot of inexperienced players. Oxy is playing hard but finding it difficult to sustain any kind of offense. They're hoping to add some players, but for now it's going to be a struggle.

The Whitworthpirates beat Chapman 62-47. Whitworth is 4-0, Chapman is 3-1.

Records: Pomona 1-4, Master's 6-2

Pomona took one on the chin against a strong Master's College team. The Eagles led 62-52 with 14 minutes left, blew the game open with a 10-0 run, and it got worse from there. Pomona was only 4-for-25 (16%) from the floor in the second half. The Sagehens are at West Coast Baptist this Friday.

Claremont vs. Southwestern 4:00 p.m.
Chapman vs. Whitman 6:00 p.m.
Redlands vs. UC Santa Cruz 8:00 p.m.

Whitworth (4-0) is ranked No. 15 in this week's D3hoops Top 25 poll. The Pirates won the Lee Fulmer Tournament in both of its previous appearances in 2002 and 2007.

SC: Daniel Hann 13 pts and 12 rebs

Halftime: CMS 36-18
Rebounds: CMS 44-37
Records: Claremont 4-1, Southwestern 1-5

The Stags led all the way and routed the NCCAA-II Eagles in the first round of the Lee Fulmer Tournament at Redlands. 18 CMS players got playing time. Claremont has a sterner test today against undefeated No. 15 Whitworthpirates (5-0), which beat Cal State East Bay 85-80 in its first round game. Game time is 6:00 p.m.

UC Santa Cruz 77, Redlands 68

UR: Matt Dietrich 23 pts and 7 rebs, Bryan Schwartz 14 pts and 6 rebs, Patrick Coffey 11

Halftime: UCSC 37-36

Records: Redlands 1-4, Santa Cruz 3-5

After starting the season 0-5, the Banana Slugs won their third straight game against the SCIAC. UCSC was 3-23 last year. Today Redlands plays Chapman (3-2); the Panthers lost to Whitman 80-71. The Bulldogs will try not to end up in the consolation game of their own tournament. Game time is 4:00.

Whittier 89, La Sierra 73

WC: Marcus Gibson 23, Mike Archuletta 18 pts and 7 rebs, DaMon Perry 13 pts and 10 rebs

Rebounds: WC 49-34

The Poets got their first win of the season against the Golden Eagles, who fell to 1-5 against the SCIAC, which I guess makes up for being 0-3 against Santa Cruz. This Saturday Whittier is home to West Coast Baptist, while La Sierra is at La Verne. Speaking of West Coast Baptist, Pomona plays there tonight at 7:30 p.m.

Claremont handed Whitworth its first loss of the season. The Stags outscored the Pirates 15-6 in the last 8 minutes of the first half and led by 10 at the break. Whitworth came back and took the lead on David Riley's 3-ball with 4:50 to go, but Chris Blees' 3-point play after a Riley foul put CMS ahead for good at 3:00. Claremont plays Whitman, which beat UC Santa Cruz 100-87, tonight at 8:00 p.m. for the championship of the Lee Fulmer Tournament. In other games, Whitworth plays UCSC in the third-place game at 6:00 p.m.; Chapman, which beat Redlands 72-57, plays Cal State East Bay in the 5th place game at 4:00 p.m.; and Redlands plays Southwestern in the consolation game at 2:00 p.m. Redlands only trailed Chapman 49-45 with 10:30 to go, but the Panthers put together a 15-0 run over the next 5 minutes and that was that. Redlands is 1-5; Chapman is 4-2.

Pomona beat West Coast Baptist 68-39. The Sagehens are home on Monday night to Biola.

Ever-reliable Jeremy Namkung played a strong game for Pomona with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and a steal. The Sagehens face another GSAC team, Hope International, at home this Saturday.

Redlands (2-5) is home to West Coast Baptist tonight.
