Thanks!  Can anyone beat Defiance at Defiance for HCAC crown?

....yeah if Pettaway and Johnson slip on the ice on the way over to the game....Who of the remaining teams can beat the two headed monster? Rose Hulman seemed to have the best shot but was beaten in the first round by the vampires. Anderson now stands a small chance if Defiance isn't making shots......

A wild ending to the tournament championship -- DC led by 10 at halftime, but FC came back to claim the lead with 6:25 to go, and held on to win, 82-76.

FC played only 8 players in the game (and one of those only played 7 minutes); Dustin Marshall played all 40 minutes and led all scorers with 25.  I expect he'll end up tournament MVP, and that C.J. Johnson will be named POTY.  Not sure who will be picked as Freshman of the Year; the highest scoring frosh were Goldschmidt (MSJ), Ferch (MC), and Schaefer (MC).

Congratulations to the Grizzlies, and good luck in the tournament.  Congratulations also to Defiance for a great season, even if it did not end as they would have liked (although some in the Pool C discussion board seem to still consider them to have an outside shot at getting in ...).

I know I'm an alum from DC, but we surely have a knack for blowing the big games that we're suppose to win.

Appears the Grizzlies had a great end of season run. What happened to Defiance in the 2nd half on their home court?  Sounds like Franklin's good guard play took over in the 2nd half.

28/51 from the field, including 11 threes, and 15/16 from the charity stripe - darned good performance on an opponent's home planks.

It's a cross we bear, Has_Been.  A Kistner's brain sandwich, a quaff, and press on.

I follow Centre basketball, and would love to hear from someone on the Heartland board about our upcoming opponent in the 1st round of the D3 Tournament. We regularly play Transy and remember Rose-Hulman from their days in the SCAC, but don't know a lot about Franklin. Any takers?

Anyone planning to travel to Danville (Centre College) for the games: I just watched a couple of Lexington channels' weather predictions and it's not good.

The last weatherman pointed to an area which included Danville and said 6-10", "the worst snowfall in a decade."  By noon today they are predicting heavy snow and 32 degrees, with temperatures dropping.  They also reported that roads are not being pre-treated because it's going to rain first and this would just wash it away.

Personally, I'd like to see as many people as possible in Danville (school pride and all) but I thought it fair to warn everybody that Kentucky's not used to this type of weather and the people aren't used to driving in it.  Expect chaos and closed roads.

I wasn't able to see or listen to the game, but I believe Franklin College represented the Heartland well by staying with the 4th ranked Colonels deep into the final stages of the game.  Congratulations to the Grizzlies.
