You should have just left it Lady Hollanders in your post.  I would have been that wise ass.

NJCU used to be the Gothic Knights and Lady Gothics.  Several years ago they changed the women so now both are just the Gothic Knights.

Yeah, I suppose I should have let someone else pick up the punch line.  I was afraid "The Happy Hooker" might be TOO obscure by now.

I should know better - SOMEONE will pick up on it!  I tried to slip in some Tom Lehrer lines from 'Lobachevsky' a few months ago, and Pat corrected my lyrics! ;D

Mississippi College finally started playing the way that we ASC fans are used to their playing and pulled away from a 24-26 halfitme deficit to win 69-51 over the MURVUL Scots.

Lincoln 100, Messiah 80.

Only one B is left!

But it's the best B, and with some carnage afoot, they may be whispered about as a contender.
Wabash Always Fights!

Congratulations Lincoln on the win over Messiah.  Now it's on to Virginia, to take on Va. Wesleyan in the sweet sixteen.  It should be an excellent game between the Lions and the Marlins.  Lincoln wins by 20 tonight, while Va, Wesleyan beats SUNY Farmingdale by 10.

Hopefully Lincoln's regular season "Road Warrior" schedule will have them prepared for the Marlins.  Right now as we all know it's "one and done".  The Home teams (as witnessed by York) are not guaranteed a win, and neither does ranking, since Transy beat Wooster. 


  Let's Go Lincoln University, It's on to the Sweet Sixteen and Beyond !!!

Well I expect to be back here next year advocating for a little love for Maryville and maybe we can figure out how to get past Mississippi College.   Even if the Scots can someday get in via Pool A, we'll still have to beat the Chocs to get out of the South.  In the meantime, we'll keep being a B Regular.  And beating teams from the SCAC and the USA South.

It was a fun weekend in Lincoln University with some good basketball played.

Lincoln was very impressive tonight, but I'll save my thoughts for later in the week.

I did want to send a pseudo-public shout out to Rob Knox, the Sports Information Director at Lincoln and Tournament Director.  He and his crew did a fantastic job as did the whole school hosting the weekend's fun.

Thanks for making the experience a special one.

From the Hope website

The Flying Dutchmen will travel to Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio for the NCAA Division III Sectional Tournament next Friday, the NCAA has announced. Hope (28-2) will play the host Tigers (27-3) in the second game of Friday's doubleheader at a time to be announced. The first game will pit Mississippi College (28-1) against Transylvania, Ky. (26-4). Friday's winners will meet on Saturday at a time to be announced.

Gordon Mann:

Thanks for webcasting the first and second rounds from Lincoln University, in scenic Southern Chester County, PA.  Also a thanks go out to Pat Coleman and the entire D3 Sports family.  Gordon, you have an open invitation to visit Lincoln anytime, and maybe one day Pat Coleman will join you   :) .

I hope the Basketball team can start placing some NCAA Championship banners (Men & Women) much like the Track teams have done.  Hopefully Soccer and Baseball championships are in our future also.

The Lions head back on the road in their game with Va. Wesleyan.  I hope Sami Wylie's slump is all behind him, and the treys continue to fall for him.   I'm sure Coach Yuille will continue to have the entire team focused on one game at a time.  Coach Yuille has been a great tactician in his ability to make adjustments where needed.

NJLincolnLion....congrats on a great season! 

Do you have any inside information on why Lincoln did not file to host the sectional?  I doubt they would have received the sectional but I don't understand why they would not even file.  This is a huge advantage for Virginia Wesleyan to have all three teams bus five plus hours.

I don't have any information why Lincoln did not file to host a regional, and I doubt that I would get an answer.  I do know Lincoln hosted two post season tournaments within two weeks.  The first tournament was the Northeast D3 Independent Tournament, followed by the NCAA First and Second rounds this past weekend.

Lincoln hosting the regional would have been ideal, since it is midway for William Paterson and Va. Wesleyan.  Widener is very close in proximity to Lincoln.  WPU is the school that has the longest trip.

Lincolnlion, Lincoln and TCNJ finished far behind NJCU on Saturday in the ECAC Indoor Track and Field championship.  NJCU won with four sprinters and an injured jumper.  They swept the top three or four spots in almost every sprint event and the injured jumper still was able to place in the high points.  Then late that evening the NJCU men won the ECAC basketball tournament.

Amazing night for NJCU in T&F and Men's Basketball.  That was unusual for Lincoln to be that off in Track  :o .  Hopefully the Lions will rebound in the Indoor NCAA's.  NJCU's Diana Lawson last year beat Lincoln's Precious Macklin to win both the sprint titles in last years Outdoor championships.  With Lawson gone, maybe we'll have a shot.  By the way, did you catch Lincoln's men's 4x400 team in the Penn Relays.  The Lions were the only d3 team in the men's championship of America and finished fourth to the likes of Florida, Tennessee, and other the D1 powers.

I guess I'm a couple days late, but that's what I get for not posting on the weekends.

Maryville, who was just sucking down the stretch decided they wanted to start winning in the tournament (which is almost second nature for them now).

I was disappointed that Bethany couldn't even keep it close, but felt better when Transy took down Wooster in the second round.  I just totally underestimated Transylvania.  I'm a little more ok with that one.

Good luck to Lincoln.  I would love to see them make it to Salem.
