In a missed opportunity, Piedmont canceling the rest of their season which will guarantee a winless finish. Story on d3hoops. Could have been the first winless winner in December I'm guessing.

This is very close to what Mr. Ypsi wanted. He had what he was looking for right in front of him and chose Martin luther instead.

Aha - my strategy for next season! Find a team that due to some (not yet known) scandal will cancel their season! A record of 0-0 is still winless, right! Then I'll pick the same team for undefeated! What a coup - one team, both titles!

Yep - if I coulda foreseen that, I had a sure winless winner! Of course, I'm greedy - I want a winless AND undefeated winner all in one! Gotta abort the season on November 14th!

BTW, magicman, you don't have the ultimate undefeated winner yet - Albertus Magnus is still undefeated against d3!

A loss is still a loss. Our Pool wasn't The Undefeated against D3 Pool.

And Yale is so bad this year they should be considered D3.

A couple comparative scores make Muskingum a big favorite......

smedindy · December 31, 2012, 07:28:25 PM

Massey has Muskingum as an 84% favorite.

On the women's side, Medgar Evers comes back from Christmas vacation, only to lose to Allegheny, 82-6. Seems like ball handling may be one of our heroine's problems.. as they ran up 47 turnovers, versus a mere 22 shot attempts....

Just imagine if there was a women's team out there, whose Coach implemented the Grinnell full court system, and this coach decided he wanted to go for some records... and they lined up 'our' ladies.... WOW what a nightmare....
