MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

There will be no pre-sale tickets at Centre. Tickets can be purchased starting at 4:00 day of the game. I was told it shouldn't be a problem getting a ticket.

It won't be a problem getting a ticket (capacity is 3400), but tickets go on sale Friday at noon, not 4pm, as I posted above.  And I'm quite sure that tickets for Saturday's game will be sold immediately after Friday's game concludes, although I'd encourage those of you who are traveling to go ahead and plan to stay for Saturday's game, win or lose.  It's likely to be a great game, no matter who's in it.

I was just letting Centre fans know. They will probably not start arriving until around 4:00.

Wow, didn't mean to open a negative outlook on Montgomery and all of the Milsap's players which if you read the my earlier posting I didn't even refer to.

But since you did bring up the academic standards of the Milsaps players which I did not and really do not care, I believe the Centre basketball team has a higer combined GPA than the average at the college and anyone that knows anything about the academics at Centre, that is a very commendable acheivement. Maybe you could share the academic achievements of the Milsaps players, I'm sure other parties would be interested. After all I have always been told that the SCAC is academics first, and athletics second.

Nestheide also was chosen to be on the Dist 4 All-Academic team but once again I cannot comment on Montgomery.

I guess what I am trying to point out Matt Nestheide represents the SCAC conference in a positive way in everything he does. once again I am not so sure about Montgomery. 

Woule welcome any comments.

Let's see, you didn't mean to open a negative outlook on Montgomery.  You remind me of a former brother-in-law who never would say anything directly, he would just say things in a way that implied something.  That way he could say negative things and then deny that he was saying anything negative.  He was very good at it but he still was a jerk if you get what I'm implying.

When you say "Maybe you could share the academic achievements of the Millsaps players, I'm sure other parties would be interested", I think it is quite obvious what you are implying--namely that Millsaps has players who aren't up to the academic standards of the SCAC because they are black.  You'll deny that you are saying that but why else would you think that anyone else would be interested in the grades of the Millsaps players?

I certainly hope you aren't typical of the Centre fans or the Centre student body.

     First off, this is a post to make personal comments which i believe is what i have accomplished. Second, i sympathize with having a brother-in-law that is indirect, i know many like that however, i never implied or directly stated anything about Milsaps poor (if that is the case) academics or the fact that they are all black. In my personal opinion that has nothing to do with academics or athletic ability. You indirectly implied that statement.
     The other parties stated are just common people like myself that know nothing about other colleges academics. The instinctive backlash or defensive nature of your last response tells that you may have some of those comments yourself. A better defense would be to tell of Milsaps great achivements in academics rather than accuse me of negativity towards a college i've admitted of knowing nothing about.

SCACAltFan & Frank_Ezelle, let's get back to basketball and away from academics.  One of the truths I have observed about all SCAC schools is that student-athletes across the spectrum of schools in the league are impressive in the way they balance their schedules with so little recognition for their achievements.  Long bus rides, limited fan support and rigorous schedules make for kids who obviously love the game of basketball!  Montgomery, Nestheide, A. Brown, Rogan, York and many others all create positive vibes for me!

Call it a truce guys.  The Centre troops need to get ready for Friday night; not concern themselves with who is the best player any longer; the coaches decided that.

Scotsbrod, thanks for the insights on Capital.  Think Friday's clash between Capital & Centre should be a good one.

You better be awfully darn sure about that.

DPU, how are you feeling about DePauw's chances in St Louis at Wash U?  WU's conference seems pretty tough with four teams in the tournament.  You had your wakeup call against Trinity; I'm betting the Tigers will be ready to play.  Good luck!

Well, when this DePauw team plays at their best, there aren't many folks that beat 'em.  If Schott & McDonald can get rolling, Moore, Sakel, and Werentz can hit a few 3's, and they don't turn it over, they're going to have an awfully good shot at Whitworth.  I gather the NWC is a pretty good conference, and to get out of it on top is a darned good day at the office.

Just depends if you see the team you saw on Saturday & @ Sewanee earlier this year, or if you see the team that beat Centre in Greencastle and put together that 2nd half in Jackson.

I was just letting Centre fans know. They will probably not start arriving until around 4:00.

Especially if you tell them that's when tickets go on sale.

[SCACAltFan]

Truce called. I never meant to degrade or lower the abilities of the Milsaps players in the classroom.

Now back to the Tourney. How far does anyone think Centre can go if they continue to play defense like they have. I saw what I thought was a good Transy team goto the final 8? last year. Can Centre make it out of Wooster with two wins?

I think all SCAC fans hope that is the case.

SCACAltFan posted while I was typing and we are in agreement on a truce regarding the subject. 

On another subject that might interest some people, I have photos posted of Millsaps basketball vs. every team in the SCAC except Austin (they didn't come to Millsaps this year).  Obviously I focus on making Millsaps look good but there are some good photos of the other teams.  For anyone who is interested, here's the link:

(One note about printing:  I know nothing about the printing option offered by Photobucket.  Most people who want to print a photo just right click on the full size photo and save the photo to their computer.  Then they can email the photo, print it, etc.  I don't know how well the prints come out on these since the file size is about 2% of the original file size, but I think they do okay on 4x6 prints.)

Or perhaps the team that needed a desperation 3 at the buzzer to win at Kenyon?
