Pacific Lutheran beating #9 Puget Sound 57-50 at the half...PLU took down then #16 Lewis & Clark last week and is trying to do the same to UPS tonight.

PLU and #9 UPS tied at 98 with a minute to go!

Update: OT!!!

Update: Looked like UPS had it, up by four with the ball but PLU battled back...going to double OT!! This one is a classic!

Appears to be over as UPS has scored the first nine points in the second OT and is now up 123-114 with 27 seconds left. UPS wins 125-116.

Not sure what board would be appropriate for this. UPS had THREE players score 30+ points last night. Anyone know just how rare that was? (I doubt that is any official category for records, and have no clue how to research it.)

I think the first place to check would be the box score from last years 200+ game for lincoln

Anyone know how Lincoln has fared thus far in Division II?

I will answer my own question, they are 1-11 and only two of those games were at Home

That's a very interesting question, and I'd have to imagine it's extremely rare. I have no idea if it ever happened before in D3.

I'm sure it happened in the ABA with high-scoring teams like the Pittsburgh Condors. They had two players (John Brisker and George Thompson) who averaged close to 30 a game and two others (George Carter and Bob Verga) who averaged around 20 a game.

In that game Sami Wylie had 69 pts, Dwight Dean had 33, and Darryl White had 28. Two players scored 10, and two others had 11.

OxyBob

Thanks for checking, OB; I had immediately thought of Lincoln, but they were so focused on getting Wylie the record, I doubted it (though #3 was closer to 30 than I would have guessed).

Grinnell gives minutes to so many players that they seem unlikely, but perhaps a Grinnell opponent? Any 'system' scholars in the audience? (Knowing your feelings about the system, you're excused, Bob.

)

Mr. Ypsi · January 09, 2008, 07:10:07 PM

Well, the only hunch I had didn't pan out: IWU scored their highest-ever total in blowing out Grinnell in the 2001 tourney, and they were a well-balanced team (as opposed to relying on one or two scorers). TOO well-balanced, as it turns out - NO one scored 30, but 6 players had 13 or more!

Until proven otherwise, I'm gonna take three players at 30+ as a d3 first.

Looked through some Wooster box scores, especially from its 05-06 season (where Woo scored over 100 in 12 games) and didn't see any time that Woo got close to having 3 players with 30 or more points.

In Wooster's scoring record game from that season (a 150-101 win against system team Emory & Henry), only Tom Port scored over 30 for Woo.

I didn't expect to find a situation where Woo would have done this, because usually its scoring is too balanced. That night by UPS sounds like quite a feat by those players.

Shoot! I had a hunch about a game where 3 guys scored more then 30 points. A redlands game from a few years ago against Cal Baptist. 2 guys had over 40 points but not 3 over 30.

By the way that score cracks me up...I didn't think it was possible to lose by 30 when you score 150+ points. Lol, OxyBob must have loved reading about that game.

This is going to be a great weekend!

Amherst vs. Williams
Augustana at #10 Elmhurst...could they drop 2 in a row?

Not to mention the numerous other big games this weekend. I will be keeping my eye on the scoreboard to see what happens.

I encourage everyone to turn on the audio to the UR/Brockport Chase Semi-final, this is one heck of a game.
Does anyone know if the webstream is working, I do not know if I just do not have something needed since I am on a Mac, or if it is just not working tonight.
