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

You could play solid perimeter D against Wittenberg and lose by 40, no sweat. They'd just use the perimeter as an access point for their inside game. If you can't deny the entry, you can't beat Wittenberg. Maybe there's some HCAC teams where that is also the case?

I was at the AU/Bluffton game.

Not impressed with Bluffton.

I attended the FC and MSJ tilt at Franklin. MSJ was outplayed nearly the entire 40 minutes and lost by 18. MSJ (in my opinion) needs to to settle down and play team basketball. While there is some solid individual talent, MSJ as a team appears to be undisciplined on offense (rushing shots, relying too much on transition scoring).

All the conference favorites won this weekend so no change in the HCAC other than the seperation of the haves from the have nots.

I took a few days off to hang some drywall, and suddenly the room is abuzz with activity.

Thanks for the poll, diehardfan. (How'd you know last Wednesday was my birthday?)

Thanks also to the voters (all 7 of 'em) who've expressed appreciation for my "hard work." Actually, reading/posting here is what I do to avoid doing work.

AUStudent: Granted, the Beavers have not looked great in their last two outings ... but we have lost two starters to injuries.

You still have your two best players, who basically win games for you. Sweet did a great job keeping you in it in the 1st half. But Bergman had a bad day which is probaly why you guys didn't look that great.

The 2nd half was brutal though, the refs got way to whistle happy. On both ends. Both teams in the double bonus with 12 minutes to go.

Yes, it was ... as a reminder of that occasion, I trip over the balloons in my office every time I enter and leave. (Those balloons have fared considerably better than the one I took home for my kids to play with.)

Transy, Bluffton, MSJ, and Manchester win.

How did Manchester come up with an 80-48 win over AU? I never would have seen that coming.

why didn't Rogers play?

how does MSJ beat Transy, Bluffton, and Hanover but lose to Anderson and Manchester?

sampson · January 26, 2006, 04:51:46 PM

Does anyone no why Brian Chrin did not play in the game against MSJ? Hanover appears to be struggling this year. I have seen them twice and they play defense like a normal Hanover team, but they do not have the scoring that Hanover has had in the recent past. They look very slow with their offense and as a former player it is not because of coaching. I am not sure they have anybody that can create for the other people on the floor, so all the players are very stagnant on the offensive end. Anyone else have any thoughts on Hanover this year?
