Bumblin' B's

[crusaders]

does villa julie and clarke have a chance?  the gap looks so big that even with a loss, it's iffy. 

[smedindy]

It all depends on how the GSAC conference plays out, I think.

[Ralph Turner]

I can imagine Huntingdon getting a Pool B in this scenario.

Fisk beats Rust on Saturday Tuesday night.  That raises their in-region to 10-4.

Huntingdon defeats Fisk (in Montgomery) in the semis of the GSAC Tourney.  That is a 14-point QOWI win for Huntingdon.

Maryville wins its semifinal (over Piedmont which has defeated LaGrange in the play-in game) and then loses to Huntingdon in the finals of the GSAC tourney.  That will give them an in-region record of 15-7 for a 14-point QOWI win for Huntingdon.   That raises Huntingdon's QOWI to 9.000, and raises their South Region record to 12-6.

Against previously ranked in-region teams, they have won the season series against both Fisk and Maryville, 2 out of 3 games.

--Lincoln 10.813 12-4

--Fisk 9.767 9-4 [Win over Rust; 2nd loss to Huntingdon: 9.80 10-5 (0.667 %-age and a win over (?Regionally Ranked?) RMC]

--Maryville 9.500 14-6 [Win over Piedmont; 2nd loss to Huntingdon: 9.632 15-7 (.682 %-age)]

--Bethany 9.364 18-4 (.788)

--Huntingdon 9.000 12-6 (0.667 %-age; Still my darkhorse!  Would have 2 wins over current Regionally Ranked teams, Fisk and Maryville.***)

--Villa Julie 8.895 15-4 (.789 %-age)

--Clarke 8.650 13-7  (.650)

***If we see this outcome in the GSAC tourney, we will get an interesting insight into the workings of the Selection Committee!

Lincoln beats Penn State-Abington 115-83 at home on Senior Night.  Senior Kyle Myrick dropped a career high and school record 62 points, breaking Jarrett Kearse's 54 points established  February 12. 2005.  Myrick also had 7 steals, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, and has "upped his average to 32.8 ppg.  Myrick's topped the 1500 pts, and is No. 2 on Lincoln's All-Time scoring list with 1,512 pts.

Lincoln is now 21-4 on the year and will host the DIII Independent Northeast tournament this weekend with St. Joseph College, Newberry College, and Mitchell College. Attendance tonight was 1451 rabid Lion fans.

62 points...that's amazing

[njlincolnlion]

crusaders:

Kyle Myrick was in "The Zone" tonight.  The final home regular season game with his parents in attendance, he put on a show.  The other starters were no slouches either.  Myrick's backcourt mate Sami Wylie is a three point machine, and ranks high on the national list for 3 pointers.  Darryl White is a defensive monster when it comes to shot blocking, with Tyreek Byard and Thomas Hickson are playing well to round out the starting five.

[crusaders]

This Myrick kid sounds like an amazing player...I was just looking over the stats on ncca.com for d3...he's first in scoring and second in assists in the nation...that's extremely impressive, he had 20 assists in one game!  do yu think he has what it takes to play at the next level?

[Pat Coleman]

We understand he is being looked at by those kinds of people.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

ESPN.com had a story a few weeks back about how he's played with NBA guys and they think he's got a good shot.  I wouldn't be suprised if someone used a second round pick on him.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I know Pat gave us the word that NebWes is out because of their sub-.500 overall records, but are we sure about that one?  They are participating in the West independent tournament, which seems like a lot of needless expense if they really are out of contention.

Chapman plays Colorado College in the first round and NebWes gets host UC-Santa Cruz.  Chapman could benefit from a potential 15 point win in the title game, but it still may not be enough to get them into consideration.  I'm worried about the West, sneaky things always happen out there.

Does Lincoln jump Widener in the regional rankings now?  The Pioneers lost to Messiah and now have four in-region losses which matches Lincoln's in-region losses.  I see from the Widener web site, the Pioneers has one regular season game remaining.

Due to the Holiday this week, when will the Top 25 rankings come out?.  Additionally, are the Regional rankings postphoned a day?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I think so.

[crusaders]

Any possibility that Lincoln would receive a Pool C bid, eliminating them from a Pool B bid and opening up that slot for another team?

[smedindy]

B's come before C's

[Pat Coleman]

Due to the Holiday this week, when will the Top 25 rankings come out?. 

They came out yesterday afternoon, at the normal time.
