Top 25 talk

[Mr. Ypsi]

WPU is the only NJAC team to finish in the top five though.  I actually forgot all about the Horace Jenkins teams.

I've been TRYING to do that for nearly 5 years now!

I am, too.   McMurry and Anrdrew Ottaro shut down Jenkins until the last few minutes at the free throw line, but they could not shut down everyone else on WPU.

Our game was just about the opposite - Horace just about single-handedly knocked us out of the title game.

I was really rooting for him to make it with the Piston's so he could be on the side of the 'good guys' , but Detroit was just too loaded at his position and he rarely made it off the bench.

I was hoping that Larry Brown would get Isiah to sign him, but they took too long and he is playing overseas again.

You guys needed Tim Judge.

[Knightstalker]

If he can pass and defend and fits under the cap we will take him.

[David Collinge]

You guys needed Tim Judge.

In case anyone else is as clueless (or memory-impaired) as I, here's a quote from CUA's website:

#11 Tim Judge (6-0 G)
West Chester, Pa.
Archbishop Carroll HS
Scored 12 points and hit all five free throws in the NCAA title game. Turned a steal into a three-point play with 4:43 to go to give CUA a 56-51 lead. ... The team's top defender, helped hold first-team All-American Horace Jenkins to 11-for-44 shooting in the Cards' last two playoff games with William Paterson.

[David Collinge]

Some struggles in the top 10 tonight:

at Catholic 69
#8 York 67 (OT)

#2 Wooster 102
at Hiram (3-13) 91

at #3 Albion 64
Kalamazoo (5-11) 58

at #5 Lawrence 86
Carroll 81

at #6 IWU 87
Wheaton (5-9) 81 (OT)

#1 Witt and #4 Hope win easily at home

If carroll is really the #2 MWC team this year, they are probably a pretty good squad... Assuming the do well for the rest of the week, I hope they garnish some more top 25 votes next week.

They might, but you probably hope they garner more of them.
