Bumblin' B's

I believe their current QOWI is 10.57 (or 10.6 if you discount their games with RMC), which is pretty darn good for a team with a 4-3 regional record. Obviously, it's pretty early to use any formula that depends on the records of Lincoln's opponents, but I'm fairly confident Albright, RMC, and Wilkes will all finish the season at or above .667 in-region, so there may not be quite as much room for Lincoln's QOWI to change as there otherwise would be.

I missed the Commodore 64 comment, but I would not be surprised if there are folks in Indy who remember lever-style adding machines with fondness.

Actually, if they liked those types of machines, then this calculation would be simple and easy to understand AND fair.

My father loved his, he used it up until sometime in the 90's until it finally just wore out. He then had to get that new-fangeled fancy electronic one.

How good is that Lincoln squad?

Joe:

Lincoln is 12-3 currently. The Lions lost at Albright by 1, Lost at Wilkes in OT by 8, and at R-MC by 21 after defeating R-MC by 23 earlier in the season at Lincoln. The Lions beat CNU in OT last night after playing four straight games on the road in two states.

Lincoln seems to have a habit of spotting teams in the first half, and coming back to win in the second half. I hope they start playing complete games. I think the "spotting" problem came back to bite them in the Albright and Wilkes games. The Lions gets two low post players in the second half of the season, and one is a D1 transfer from Temple.

I have to get the Bumblin B's topic back "on board"......pun intended. Lincoln is is currently 12-3 and will be taking on F&M in the Championship game tonight in Lancaster for the Lancaster Rotary Tournament.

The Lions should be relatively "rested" and hopefully will be ready for the Diplomats tonight. F&M ended Lincolns seasons last year at home in a ECAC game> Time for the Lions to take the championship tonight. F&M crushed Mitchell last night, and Lincoln had a "fairly" easy win over Juniata in the first round games.

Go Lincoln Go Lions

Congratulations to the Lincoln Lions on their 24 point victory over F&M in Lancaster and avenge last seasons season ending loss at the hands of the Diplomats.

Lincoln has a ways to go to catch F&M with a commanding lead in the overall series between the two schools. It wouls be great to see F&M play Lincoln on a more frequent basis considering the schools are only 25 -30 miles apart.

Another good win to start out the new year.

Hoops Fan:

Thanks for the support !!! Lincoln is suppose to have two transfers for the second half of the season. I hope they blend in and strenghten the Lions and not affect the cohesiveness of the squad.

Lincoln is more than half way through their schedule and are doing relatively well. I'm still hurting from that that 1 point OT loss to Wilkes

Bethany continues to do well after a 5-4 start. They've now won 3 in a row with last nights drumming of Hiram. They improve to 8-4 and 5-4 in the region now. Nice to get back on track before conference play where they should average 20-point wins throughout the conference. I believe they still have D'Youville to play out of conference. This team could easily run the table and find themselves at 21-4 before the conference tourny.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · January 04, 2006, 02:39:32 PM

Yeah but their QOWI is probably already shot.

joe smith · January 04, 2006, 09:24:31 PM

They only lost to one bad team (Marietta). The other three have a combined record of 24-6 (Case, CMU, and Lake Erie). Two of those games they lost in the final seconds when they were leading.

smedindy · January 05, 2006, 01:01:08 AM

That doesn't affect their QOWI though. It is what it is.

joe smith · January 05, 2006, 09:34:33 AM

They won't get any help in their conference because every team in there is .500 or below and realisticly they all pretty much stink.
