www.tigersports.com (i believe) has the call. The poster with that name should have his website linked in his profile.

Yes, I can confirm that tigersports.com is on the air. Maybe you can be his halftime guest!

Oops.

I get confused, chasing so many games around the web. Oxybroadcast is the site, tigersports is the poster.

Redlands has been seeing better results than usual this year, but they hadn't really played anyone highly regarded yet. I wonder what this will do for them?

Who are the early favorites for #1?

Amherst and Wooster, most likely. I think Amherst will get it on the basis that they're undefeated and playing well in a stretch where they're missing/missed two starters.

Amherst (in Maine), Wooster (at Earlham without their starting center), and #4 VWC (at Guilford) all have non-trivial weekends. It wouldn't shock me to see Mississippi College atop the poll next Tuesday. But #1 is Amherst's to lose.

What do you guys think about having two WIAC teams in the top 5?

Not out of the question, but I'm still suspect at least for this week.

Oshkosh has won 14 of the last 15 games. They have three losses, one to "going to be previously #1" Stevens Point (now 16-2) at the beginning of the year (a 13-pt loss at home), a 3-pt loss to Elmhurst (now 15-2), so far the class of the CCIW, and a one point loss at La Crosse (12-6, just dropped out of the top 25). And they just beat Point in Quandt by 17. Not bad.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · January 25, 2007, 07:05:22 PM

Just for clarification, I meant that I didn't think they'd be able to move up so far in just one week. I think it would be fine, but unless there are more losses, I don't see them jumping up there.

#23 Keene St. is getting all they can handle from the Mitchell Pequots, with Mitchell (7-8) leading by nine late in the first half. Listen in to Keene's coverage on SportsJuice; you can access the broadcast from the Scoreboard.

UPDATE: Keene St. was leading by 5 fairly late in the 2nd (like, 5:00 left or so) when my connection died.

With 2:25 remaining in the 1st, Mississippi College is leading LeTourneau University 40-18, and yet the two highest scorers in the game both play for LeTourneau! Just three Yellow Jackets have scored, including 9 from Evers and 8 from D. Smith, but 9 Choctaws have already scored, led by a trio with 7 apiece.

David Collinge · January 25, 2007, 09:29:42 PM

Keene St. survived Mitchell, 79-69.
