Just saw the article and picture on Lincoln knocking off Salem International, thanks for the publicity. Unfortunately the Lions lost by a point to Albright within the last few seconds . I hope Lincoln rebounds aganist DII and rival Cheyney on Sunday.

We wrote that too. Both were noted on the front page within hours of their completion.

I think those DII games will help Lincoln in the long run... What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

Some schools like to play cake schedules early on and they frequently get burnt at the end of the year when the intensity picks up. Case in point is Christopher Newport. They play like their first 10-15 games at HOME or something like that, and frequently peter out at the end of the year!

Anyhow, good luck to Lincoln...

Bethany wins last night beating Keystone St. 103-89 to even their record to 2-2. They will play CMU today for the championship game of the CMU tourny. Last time Bethany faced Nate Maurer he played for Grove City and lit them up for 39 and 41.

It's just plain "Keystone", Joe, not "Keystone State". Keystone College is a private institution, not a public one.

Warren Thompson · November 27, 2005, 04:57:47 PM

Correct, GS. Keystone is a private institution in La Plume, Pennsylvania, in the 'coal-cracker' part of the state. Till several years ago, it was a two-year venue.

While the Keystone State doesn't currently have a state college named Keystone State, who's to say that someday they won't?

If so, I would say that school would have a natural archrival.

Warren Thompson · November 27, 2005, 06:38:34 PM

OK, Pat.

Yet if the Commonwealth legislators would put Keystone State in, say, Erie, would they still be a "natural archrival" for Keystone College"?

[Kindly advise soonest ... if not sooner.]

Well Lincoln beat Cheyney (DII) and traditional rival for the second straight year 81-72, behind Kyle Myrick's 34 pts. Sophomore Foward Darryl White has a triple with 12 pts, 12 rebs, and 10 blocks.

As a side note Cheyney still holds a considerable edge in the series. During my Lincoln years, John Chaney (Temple)and C. Vivian Stringer (Rutgers), coached Cheyney's men and women's teams respectively. We also played Morgan State (with Marvin Webster, the "Human Eraser" formerly of the NY Knicks).

Hopefully the Lions will keep the momentum going tonight. Good luck to Fisk this season.

Pat:

Any thoughts on Lincoln's game tonight at home aganist Randolph Macon? It should be a good test for both teams, and in checking the schedule, Lincoln travels to RMC in December to play the Yellow Jackets to complete the home & home.

joe smith · November 28, 2005, 10:44:04 AM

Bethany loses yesterday by 2 late free throws to CMU. They fall to 2-3 and already have 3 region loses, and 2 to bad teams. Looks like they only have maybe 2 more tough opponents on their schedule. How bad will these early losses hurt them?

Ralph Turner · November 28, 2005, 06:05:55 PM

Joe, the 2 losses to bad teams means that the contribution to the QOWI will be somewhere between 0-3 points.

That kills a QOWI! Getting only 8-9 points for a win over a bad team (W-L record percentages < .333), will pull down the QOWI for a solid Pool B contender, as well.

IMHO, the Pool A status cannot come fast enough for the Pres AC.

joe smith · November 28, 2005, 06:10:42 PM

That's what I figured. They play d2 Wheeling jesuit tomorrow and Ohio University-Eastern Wed. which won't effect their region win/loss record, followed by Muskingum. They easily could go 3-5 with 4 region losses by next week.

Ralph, I noticed in that article that you linked from NCAA News that Point Park University is going to become a provisional D3. Point Park is in Pittsburgh. Are they a possible future PresAC member?

njlincolnlion · November 29, 2005, 09:06:18 AM

Lincoln defeats Randolph-Macon 85-62 at Lincoln last night. All American Kyle Myrick finished with 33 pts to lead the Lions. The Lions held R-MC All American Wansley to 9 pts.

The Lions visit R-MC in December where I'm sure the Yellow Jackets are looking to exact some revenge.

Ralph Turner · November 29, 2005, 07:16:49 PM

Gregory, re: Point Park. That is a good question. Let me pointificate.

I see the question coming down to football. The Pres AC has football at each campus. They are adding enough slack to cushion any AQ problems...St Vincent is adding football, TMC has it and Seton Hill has if they wish to join. Isn't Geneva rumored to be exploring the NCAA? Why add a non-football school?

The other conference that I consider for Point Park is the Allegheny Mountain CC. Now I don't know the mission/vision aspect of the schools involved, and that is at least an equal consideration.
