Lincoln also has a transfer from Temple who started 8 games for them last year, he is coming off the bench at Lincoln.

Nice article. It's good to see DIII get some good pub.

There is an articles on Lincoln's Kyle Myrick on the ESPN Men's Basketball page right now, entitled, " Myrick hoping to go from jail to NBA", even a quote from Aaron Mckie of the Lakers saying Myrick could make it in the NBA:

I also noticed that the transfer from Temple has started playing for Lincoln, looks like their guard play could be pretty solid going into the latter part of the season.

I posted that article 10 days ago, why didn't anyone read it then!

Because you're a huge nerd

I have no idea; I don't remember seeing it.

Something I often wondered about:

Hugenerd, are you huge and a nerd, or hugely nerdy?

Or neither of the above and just like the name!

[In whichever case, applause to you (AND to Hoops Fan for finally making me ask this compelling question!]

Ill give you a little bio and you can come to conclusions on your own. I am about 6'1", 200 pounds, I played for CMU for 4 years as a backup guard and I am currently a doctoral student at MIT. I am not as in shape as I used to be but I am still at my playing weight. I recently had PhD qualifiers for which I read about 20 engineering texts cover to cover.

Let me know what category I fall under...

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · January 25, 2006, 08:43:25 AM

Good Lord, I think its both!

Coach C · January 25, 2006, 09:22:23 AM

I am leaning toward more hugely nerdy and huge and nerdly.

Villa Julie and Keuka both lost last night. Julie may still be alive, but that loss probably knocks Keuka off even the outside chance list.

Coach C · January 25, 2006, 12:57:36 PM

I would agree that Keuka is out. Villa Julie is on the outside shot list. Maybe

Oglethorpe 93, at Maryville TN 88

This may be another ugly QOWI loss from Maryville. Oglethorpe (8-7 South Region) has 7 SCAC games remaining, 5 on the road and SCAC leaders Southwestern and Trinity at home. If Oglethorpe goes 2-5 over that stretch, then the QOWI value to Maryville is only 2 points. Maryville is letting some Pool B's back in the door. The loss means a net drop of 0.40 points in the QOW Index for the 20-game South Region Schedule.

IMHO, FISK can gain the advantage by defeating MURVUL in the second round of conference and in the tourney.

Now Bethany fans, I am not sure for whom you need to root, FISK or MURVUL.

Does anyone want a pool B slot this year?

I don't suppose there is any chance of just eliminating pool B - toss 'em all into pool C? No. Oh, well, didn't think so!

Lincoln still seems to want it as well as St. Joe's in Maine, who is going to have to earn it with their remaining schedule. Rust's season is going to depend on them beating Fisk to close out the year. NebWes is looking better and better every day, even with their crap schedule. And Bethany may actually get in. I guess that's why they are the Bumblin' Bs.

Bethany right now is playing their best basketball of the year. They have won 10 in a row and currently are 15-4 after a 5-4 start. I admit that the PrAC is at an all time low with Waynesburg being the only other team over .500 and they're not even in 2nd place.
What's impressive is how dominate this team is in conference play. Conference games are always tougher no matter how bad the other teams are. Right now they are winning by an average of 22.6 points a game in league action. In my posting on the PrAC website (which no one visits haha) I believe I said they'll win all league games by an average of 20 a game. Halfway through conference play it looks like I'm right. Toughest game left: @ W&J, 2nd place right now at 5-1 in conference.
If Bethany doesn't get upset the rest of the way out they should finish 23-4 (including 2 conference touny wins). Last yr. they finished 24-3 before the NCAA tourny.
