How They Fared

The inaugural report for 2010-11 should be considered a "beta test" (perhaps even alpha); it took a while to make my program read the new d3hoops format, and even then a few things went awry.  Washington U.'s team page, which should be at
 http://www.d3hoops.com/teams/Washington%20U./men/2010-11/index
is missing, so my program could not track down those scores (and I was too lazy to do it on my own).  Hopefully that will be sorted out by Sunday.
(fixed now - thanks Pat!)

Also note that the current online scoreboard does not make any distinction for games played at neutral sites, so losses in such games will look the same as losses at home.

I removed teams with 3 or fewer votes simply because (after adding this lengthy explanation) I had exceeded the posting length limit.

Oh, shucks, how did that last one get on there?  (Forgive me ... after a 2-23 campaign last season, our 3-0 start is one of the things I am thankful for this year.)

This will be the third Top 25 matchup of the young season (Carthage vs John Carroll, Augustana vs Wash U).

Middlebury, MIT, Plattsburgh State, Texas-Dallas.

* Augustana will potentially play 4 games vs Top 25 teams in November and December...Randolph-Macon plays 3.
WW leads 72-64 with 3:30 to play.

... Washington U.'s team page, which should be at
  http://www.d3hoops.com/teams/Washington%20U./men/2010-11/index
is missing, so my program could not track down those scores (and I was too lazy to do it on my own).  Hopefully that will be sorted out by Sunday.

15 minutes after I posted that (and less than an hour after I'd emailed him about it), Pat had this fixed.

Thanks for doing the leg work (or mousework?), magicman.  I'll edit the posting to include those scores.

Pat Coleman

No problem -- all of the team pages were set up by humans at PrestoSports and some of them I haven't even laid eyes on yet.

About 80 or so teams will have the incomplete schedules note and Gordon Mann and I continue to do the collecting and posting there. Unfortunately, yes, some schools do not participate with D3hoops.com, even ones that, say, have gotten gigantic front-page coverage from us in the past or even this week.

Also note that the current online scoreboard does not make any distinction for games played at neutral sites, so losses in such games will look the same as losses at home.


I noticed this too. This could be a bummer with the rumored home/neutral/away OWP adjustment. Pat, would it be possible (and not a ton of work) to add a neutral site designation on the team pages?

Pat Coleman

Definitely possible since it was on our old site, which was fueled by the same data.

Huge Midwest matchup tonight as #24 Augustana hosts #14 Anderson at 7:30pm.  

#24 Augustana (2-0)
G – Brian DeSimone, 6-1 Jr (7.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.0 apg)
G – Chris Anderson, 6-4 Jr (17.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg)
F – Bryant Voilles, 6-9 Jr (9.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 4.5 apg)
F – Brandon Kunz, 6-7 So (7.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg
F – Kyle Nelson, 6-9 Sr (20.0 ppg, 8.5 rpg)

#14 Anderson (2-0)
G - Jarrin Forte, 6-0 Fr (11.5 ppg, 0.5 rpg, 2.0 apg)
G - Gabe Miller, 6-3 Sr (10.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 9.5 apg)
F - Brock Morrison, 6-3 Jr (15.0 ppg, 9.5 rpg)
F - Andrew Bowman, 6-7 Sr (14.0 ppg, 4.5 rpg)
C - Andrew Jones, 6-6 Sr (16.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg)


I believe when all is said and done, either Anderson or St. Norbert will be considered the best Augie non-conference opponent (better than UW-Whitewater and Wash U).  Last year the Vikings won by 7 at Anderson, so you have to think Augie is a clear favorite tonight.

Final:  #6 Wooster 67  Ohio Northern 53

Wooster wins this neutral site game easily as they are led by Ian Franks with 20 points, Nathan Balch with 15 points and Bryan Wickliffe with 11 points.

Scots are 3-0 and play in the tourney championship game tomorrow vs the Carnegie Mellon/Susquehanna winner.

#5920
Wabash College, off to a solid 5-0 start (against generally light competition), rattled off a 10-0 run to end the half and take a 36-26 lead into the locker room against #2 Randolph-Macon in the championship game of the Pete Thorn Tournament at Wabash.

I was going to post earlier that 'Bash might deserve some voting consideration if they simply managed to stay close to Randy-Mac today, and so far so good.

UPDATE:
(wooscotsfan beat me to the headline!)

Final:
Wabash 60
Randolph-Macon 45

Wabash immediately ran the lead out to about 20 at the start of the second half and never looked back, generally holding the lead between 15-20 the rest of the way.  A great game for Wabash's Wes Smith (27pts, 9 boards), who already had 25 pts when RMC only had 28 as a team.

RMC falls to 4-1.  Wabash improves to 6-0, and will probably start generating some Top 25 discussion.

Final:  Wabash 60  #2 Randolph-Macon 45

Wabash pulls the big upset as the Little Giants win their own tourney.  Little Giants are now 6-0 and deserve votes in the next Top 25 poll! ;)

David Collinge

#18 John Carroll survives an upset bid at home, outlasting Bethany (2-3), 90-85.  JCU figures to be tested again tomorrow as they face Michael McClary and Olivet (3-2).
