Top 25 talk

[Mr. Ypsi]

With an 11-9 record, Stout is obviously not going to get any top 25 votes, but I've gotta wonder who else in the country could beat UWW and UWSP back to back!

(Since they ARE 11-9, I suppose lots of teams, if lightning happened to strike twice! )

Stout has won 8 of their last 11 and one of those losses is to Whitworth.

#22 Medaille knocks down 2 foul shots with 3 seconds remaining to edge host Penn State-Behrend 76-74. The Mavericks place 5 players in double figures and improve to 20-1.

I know Caltech hasn't had much luck in the SCIAC in the past 20+ years but the score that is currently posted on the Wednesday night scoreboard is kind of ridiculous, Cal Lutheran 108 Caltech 3.

The score has now been corrected: Cal Lutheran 20 Caltech 7 in the 1st half. That's a little better.

Redlands hits a 3 pointer with 14 seconds to play to tie Claremont-Mudd-Scripps at 81 all and send the game into overtime.
CMS opens the extra session with a 3 pointer of their own and is never headed as they grab a hard fought 97-89 victory

A week after beating them by 28, Texas-Dallas loses at 8-11 Louisiana College by 1.  Does this Cajun luck bode well for the Saints on Sunday?

#24 Mississippi College defeats University of the Ozarks 80-74

From the ASC board...

Upset!  LaCollege 69 UT-Dallas 68.

Tonight was Think Pink night at LaCollege.

The LaCollege women's coach (former Fresno State head coach Janice Joseph-Richard) is a breast cancer survivor so I wonder if a big crowd showed up and stayed for the Double header.

LaCollege women move ahead in the East.

LaCollege women beat UTD, 58-47, too.

Now UTD has to travel to Mississippi College for a game on Saturday.

ASC teams are too balanced and they beat up on themselves.

I am smelling upset tomorrow at W & L if the game is played (given the weather).

Stout knocks off Point 69-67.

Does anyone think Point is still 30 points better than Whitworth?  

Whitworth has led in its games for 578:22 out of the last 640 minutes (16 games) since losing to Pomona.  That's better than 90% including wins over Whitewater, Stout and McKendree (now #8 NAIA).  Pirates have perhaps their toughest conference road trip this weekend as they face an improved Pacific and a strong George Fox (not the womens) team.  Go Pirates!!

I don't necessarily think that Point was 30 points better than Whitworth when they played the first time... WW just got steamrolled and tried to adjust, which didn't work.

The final margin wasn't 30 either... Point was up 94-57 with 7:20 to go and Whitworth outscored them 22-7 over the final minutes.  Point did hit the century mark, but just barely.  They were on pace for 115 points and the scoring slowed down quite a bit.

Look at the stats... Point shot 79% in the first half and 68% for the game.  Point has only had 3 other games where they shot over 60% (though they have shot over 50% in 12/21 games this season).

You are missing the point Point!  But since you throw it out there, I think WW playing better and Point not shooting lights out would make for an excellent rematch.  Hopefully not in the 3rd round.

Perhaps I am... I was referring just to the "30 points better" note.  What was your point?  (not meaning this question as being rude.. I just want to understand!)

[Greek Tragedy]

I'm still taking Point over Whitworth.
