The new top 25 poll is out:

Transy moves up to #22
Bluffton slips off the back end by a scant 3 votes, to occupy the effective #26 position
Hanover returns to a few ballots after a one-week absence; the Panthers had been in the top 25 for 52 consecutive polls before dropping out of the poll altogether last week.  They have received votes in 86 of the 101 polls in the hostory of the D3hoops.com poll--the 6th best team in this category in D3.

I will say this.....Clampitt carried the entire team the whole way and kept them in it until the end when he fouled out.






In your opinion a block or a charge?

ya, but how about the mount upsetting Trany? does that deserve anything?

Hey now, AU's gym blows Franklin's out of the water. ;)

BTW, pretty much my thoughts on the call.

After watching tonight's game, I understand how MSJ beat Transy last week; they did it to Bluffton tonight.

MSJ 105, Bluffton 93
Derrick Jones 28, Marcus Smith 24 for MSJ
Sweet 26, Anthony 20, Bergman 16.

MSJ hit 11 treys in the first half (15 for the game, from 9 different players). They also guarded Bergman well all night -- he only had 4 in the first half, and didn't hit his second bucket until about 7:45 left in the game.

Darryl Nester

Wow -- tough night for the home teams tonight; road wins all around.  Transy won at Hanover to take sole possession of the conference lead, 4-1.
Bluffton, Franklin, Hanover, and MSJ are tied for second at 3-2.

Since I have funny administrative privilages because I am the technical starter of this board and I have a 3000+ posts :-[ , this poll is a free one for Darryl Nester, so he doesn't feel so alone.  ;) :-* :D

Zing!  Diehard plays the academic card on our friends from Ohio!   :o ;D

Looks like a wacky year in the HCAC; too bad (for me) that I can't be around to see it this year.  :-\

It's true, I am getting pretty fiesty in my old age.  :D

2 big home games upcoming for Franklin. (MSJ on Sat and Transy next Wed) If they can win both they will be in first place (possibly tied) but will have road games left with Transy and Bluffton. If Franklin loses one or both they realistically have no shot the rest of the way.

Franklin doesn't get the press that Transy and Hanover get (need to get back to the NCAA). I for one am not impressed with Hanover this year. They certainly should not be getting top 25 votes. MSJ may be the conference sleeper and certainly are the wild card.  Bluffton is not as good as their record shows. Barely beat Franklin at home and lost to MSJ. They are on the brink of being swept back into the pack.  Transy appears to be quietly rising to the top of the heap.

If you guys can keep a shooter hot you have a great shot to win both those games.  Play solid perimiter D against Mount and you should beat them anyways.   

Get a look at Bluffton tommorow; still not sold on them.

wouldn't you say that's how you can beat any team is to play solid perimeter D?

um, some teams don't have great shooters.  Not to many in the HCAC without at least one good one though.
