Here are the team compositions around the conference -- make of this what you will ...

School      FY+SO+JR+SR= Total
AU
2 + 8 + 3 + 1
= 14
BU
10 + 6 + 8 + 3
= 27
DC
11 + 7 + 1 + 2
= 21
EC
11 + 2 + 2 + 2
= 17
FC
10 + 7 + 5 + 1
= 23
HC
6 + 5 + 1 + 3
= 15
MU
6 + 6 + 0 + 1
= 13
MSJ
9 + 4 + 3 + 1
= 17
RHIT
5 + 2 + 7 + 5
= 19
TU
5 + 2 + 1 + 7
= 15
A couple of other comments:

  • RHIT has one of last year's seniors (Jordan Nielson) back as a graduate student -- apparently had another year of eligibility. (He's included in the senior tally above.)
  • As always happens, some players did not return.  By my count, the number of such players ranges from a low of 2 (BU and FC) to a high of 6 (DC, EC, HC, and MSJ). Many of these are freshmen or sophomores who had seen limited (or non-existent) varsity time.  One that stands out is TU junior Ashley Hatfield, who averaged 3.8 pts and 12.2 minutes per game last season. (He was 6th on the team for scoring, just behind graduate Chris Owens -- but the top four scorers are all back.)

The numbers that stand out to me are the number of seniors for Transy (7) and Rose (5) while no one else has more than 3. And Manchester has just one player that's not a freshman or sophomore.

With the additions of some big men down in the post, I hope DC makes a strong showing and stays competitive throughout the season.

Bluffton loses a squeaker 56-54 to MSJ in their HCAC opener. Neither team shot the ball very well (37.8% & 37.5%).

I'm pretty surprised to see Transy drop two already. RHIT is looking to be a really tough team to get through that is for sure and Hanover played a tough game against Butler.

Now that conference play has begun (why did Bluffton and MSJ play so early?) it's interesting to see there are no 0s in anyone's record. Rose, Hanover, and Anderson all have 1 loss while Bluffton and Earlham both have 1 win. At least it's better than the football teams did ::)

Good Luck to HANOVER tonight against Franklin! Keep it rollin' Panthers

Hanover's only loss came at Butler (in which they competed well)... so as while their record is flawed for all intents and purposes they are the only undefeated HCAC team.

Hanover's high octane offense has been impressive- no one has been able to slow them down yet. With the lightning quick Bass at point, shooters at all positions (and off the bench) and scoring machine Nowicki getting his.... its an impressive thing to watch.

HC is averaging 86 ppg vs D3 competition. You have to put them neck and neck with Rose and Transy as favorites in the conference- its probably gonna be a 3 horse race.

I think they are deserving of top 25 considerations...

Should be a good match-up today between Hanover and Defiance.
Hanover has played well at Home and today is the start of a 6-game road stretch that will not have them back home till January 5-- WORK HARD BE TOUGH

I think you spoke too soon!  Losing by 17 is not going to get you many votes for the top 25.
