MBB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[David Collinge]

From the College of Wooster website:

» NCAA Div. III Tournament Ticket Information: There will be a pre-sale at Wooster's Physical Education Center Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Thursday also from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. as well as 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. On Friday, tickets will go on sale starting at noon, and the gates open at 4 p.m. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for all students. One ticket is good for both games on Friday.

I do not know what arrangements, if any, have been made for pre-sale tickets at Transylvania.

Capital plays Centre at 6pm, with the Wooster/Transylvania game to follow 30 mins. after the first game ends, not before 8pm.

Why is this borad so dead?

ScotsFan:

If you're asking why it's dead NOW, consider that most of the posts here came from non-Transy fans; the rest of us now have little to talk about.

If you're asking why it's dead most of the time (compared to other boards) ... I ask myself that same question quite often.

I seem to remember thinking that same thing last year when trying to find out more about Transy prior to Wooster's trip to Lexington.  Kind of reminds me of the OAC board!

You guys could always channel that interest you have in finding more about Transy into listening to the Transy coach's interview on Hoopsville...

Maybe someone should print off flyers for D3hoops.com and bring them to the game.

Transy's next game will be at Wooster, where there is no shortage of D3Hoops.com aficianados.

I know.... that's what I'm saying. The Wooster d3hoops.com posters can mob random Transy fans at the game and give them flyers about posting on the site!

I'll be curious to see how well Transy travels.  I seem to remember that there were pretty good crowds for the games in Lexington last year, but based on the level of activity in here they may not be that willing to drive 5 hours for a game.  I'd be willing to bet that at least one attendee from last year - Tubby Smith - won't be making an appearance in Wooster!

This board has more going on then the football board.

[diehardfan]

We're collecting previews for each team in the tourney on one of the multiregional boards. If I get them by friday I may even be able to stick them in one document for people to peruse. A fun little tourney resource of sorts. Could someone here do one for Transy? Obviously it probably won't be a Transy fan, but I'm sure someone's seen them enough to do one.... Thanks!

Can't be giving out Transy's secrets to the public!

I do know that last year Transy traveled to Wooster and played very well, nearly won the game. I think the final margin was 6 or 7.  However that was with 7 seniors.  Not positive but I believe Wooster returns everybody but Witucky?

Transy will bring a full crowd, their fans are pretty faithful.  I believe they sold out their allotment last year at Wittenburg in the first hour or two because we had to get tickets another way. 

The new kids for TU will be hit with nerves when they realize how many fans Wooster will pack that gym with.  I am hoping to make it, but have not purchased tickets.

Good Luck Transy.

I remember that game; it was two years ago (12/30/04), and Wooster won 80-74.  Here's a recap of that game, with a box score.  It was a very good game, and I remember we were all very, very impressed by Transy, a team most of us knew nothing about before that weekend.  I remember I wanted to see more of TU, so later that season I drove however many hours through a snowstorm to Hanover to watch the TU/HC game. 

Then of course last season, Transy with the aforementioned 7 seniors beat Wooster in the NCAA 2nd round 91-88 in Lexington.  Recap and box score. Wooster returns everyone who played in that game, except Witucky.

The rubber match tomorrow should be excellent.  Safe travels to all Transy fans making the trek.

6 Dead in Charter Bus Wreck on I-75

ATLANTA (AP) -- A charter bus carrying a college baseball team from Ohio plunged off a highway ramp early Friday and slammed into the pavement below, killing at least six people and scattering sports equipment across the road, authorities said.

The bus carrying the team from Bluffton University toppled off the Northside Drive bridge onto Interstate 75, police spokesman Joe Cobb said.

At least six of the 35 people aboard were killed and others were injured.

"It's bad, I know that," he said. "It's hard to describe. The bus is completely annihilated."

Six Killed in Bluffton baseball bus crash... this is just awful.   Our thoughts and prayers to all in the Bluffton Family:
