Frank, can Millsaps keep up the pace?

Typical D1-D3 scenario where lack of depth, height, and strength eventually does in the D3 team. Millsaps was within 2 with 5 minutes left in the half (34-32) and then BSC went on a run to take a 46-34 lead into the locker room. Last week the Lady Majors led most of the first half against Birmingham Southern but BSC took a 26-24 lead with 3:13 left in the half and it grew to 35-24 by halftime.

Millsaps will have to be red hot from the outside to make a game of it now. It's possible but the odds are against it.

I see that Ralph posted while I was typing. To be honest, I think Millsaps has done great considering that their leading scorer and rebounder isn't playing. For a team that is already small even by D3 standards, not having your starting center is a very difficult situation.

The live stats from BSC never started up for the 2nd half. The game should be close to the end now since the tipoff was scheduled for 7 and it is now 9. With this game out of the way, next up is the first SCAC game at OU and all of their 3-point shooters.

Rose-Hulman played pretty well this evening, but dropped a 65-59 decision to #13 Augustana in Rock Island, Illinois tonight.

Rick Harrigan scored 27 points, including 14-15 from the charity stripe, as the Vikings improved their record to a perfect 9-0 on the season. Augie also got two other players in double figures as Oliver Rorer and Jay McAdams-Thornton scored 15 and 10 points respectively.

Rose-Hulman was lead by Munchie Muskeyvalley's 18 points on 8-for-16 shooting as he was playing in his home town of Rock Island for the first time in his career at Rose. Brennan Dunville added 15 as the Engineers fell to 4-7 overall.

Augustana lead 28-27 at the half.

Pat Coleman has permitted me to moderate the D3Baseball message boards. We have had a good response from the NCAC and the ODAC conferences about setting up a basic board for those conferences. I will moderate the ASC and West Region Independent boards for the time being.

Pat has explained some of the ground rules on the ASC board. There will be no editorial content, just hyperlinks to the schools and conferences websites and message board space for scores, commentary and links to press reports. There are other thoughts on the NCAC and ODAC boards. We have added a board that will track the NABC Poll.

I sought Ron Boerger's advice and he suggested that I post here asking for a volunteer who would like to help maintain a SCAC Baseball board.

Thanks in advance to the volunteer and to the fans of SCAC Baseball who will use the board.

Nice return from the break for Trinity and Southwestern. Seems like both teams had tight ones the second night. Pretty impressive what Trinity did to Manchester in the first half and a very solid win against a good Dominican with Trinity missing two starters.

Looks like Ross Burt is back healthy.

Great win for Centre. The conference needs some more like that.

Can anybody out there give me updates on the Hendrix-Ozarks game? Thanks!

scaccommish · January 02, 2006, 09:17:16 PM

Aerie,
According to the Hendrix website, Hendrix leads 54-38 in the second half. Do not know how much time is remaining.

Ralph Turner · January 02, 2006, 09:29:58 PM

Hendrix 74 UOz 53 now. Who is not playing for UOz??

That is totally uncharacteristic!

scaccommish · January 02, 2006, 09:40:39 PM

Hendrix 81, Ozarks 57 - Final

Here is the Hendrix box score for tonight.

It appears that Hendrix just shut 'em down tonight!!!

Good win for the Warriors (in-region)!

This was a really good and a very hard fought game till the buzzer. Hendrix could never let up because this team was working hard to win. The refs let the game get out of control for a time which made for a physically rough and rowdy game. Hopefully the trip to Millsap this weekend will prove to be another win for the Warriors. Coach Priest and Coach McCraken were on their feet most of the game rallying their team on.

While in Jackson, we are hoping to hit Schimmels since the Subway Lounge is closed. Anyone else know of some good eats or delta blues clubs that are worth visiting in Jackson?

According to the scoreboard, Oglethorpe defeats Millsaps 93-92 in overtime. Have not seen a box yet.

scaccommish · January 04, 2006, 12:21:58 PM

As a side note to last night's Oglethorpe/Millsaps game, the Majors' Edrick Montgomery broke the SCAC single-game rebound record with 26 boards. The old record was 22 - shared by Fred Garner of Fisk (vs. Stillman - 2/11/1992) and Ryan Vickers of Oglethorpe (vs. Ferrum - 11/18/1995).
