Colorado College erased the 16-point OU halftime lead at the 4 minute mark of the 2nd half. Now they lead by 2 with 2:11 to play.

Trinity is up 35-32 at the half on Centre.

Greg Mason's Centre Colonels picked up another road win tonight in San Antonio - 73-61. Centre played a stellar 2nd half with 5 players scoring in double figures.

Wondering whether Centre will move up in the top 25 this week. Realize that beyond the top 15, the pollsters seem to have a hard time identifying who should fill out 16-25. Because of some losses among 16-25 last week, I expect to see Centre move from 24 to perhaps 22 or 21.

Pretty easy time of it for the 17th ranked Colonels tonight as they defeated Austin 87-52. Greg Ross led the way with 18; Donavan Whiteside chipped in with 16. Much of the Centre squad played & contributed in the game. Colonels will have a tough opponent in Colorado College coimg to town to play Sunday afternoon. I expect Sunday's contest to be competitive from start to finish.

Mike DeGeorge's Rhodes basketball team got a huge homecourt win tonight over Southwestern 71-63. This marks the team's 1st SCAC victory. Andrew Gallow led Rhodes in scoring, but the team had lots of other heroes on the court tonight. Josh Arant played his heart & soul out in registering 10 points and a ton of hustle plays.

I'm sure Rhodes is glad to get the first conference win out of the way. Southwestern has been less than stellar this season and has given U of Dallas its only two wins of the year. I'm not sure Rhodes will ever get out of the SCAC cellar.

A good one in Atlanta tonight. Todd Ward made 2 free throws to tie it in regulation & send the game to OT - Oglethorpe 71 Rhodes 71!

Johnny Dunavant has led Rhodes with 23 points & 7-8 from the 3-line. Joe Kennedy has 24 for OU.

pbrooks3 · February 04, 2011, 09:58:25 PM

Oglethorpe hangs on @ home to beat Rhodes in OT 79-78. The Lynx shot lights out 27-52 and 15-30 on the 3-ball. Oglethorpe was stout as well hitting 51% and 13-30 from past the arc. A few key missed free throws hurt Rhodes while Todd Ward hit 2 big ones @ crunchtime tonight.

Yet another good one tonight being played in Conway AR. Southwestern & Hendrix are tied 85-85 after a 1st overtime.

A big game on the Eastern side of the ledger this afternoon between DePauw & Centre. If the Tigers can beat Centre, it will tighten the standings considerably with both DePauw & Oglethorpe getting within 1 game of Centre, and 2 games behind Birmingham Southern who still officially can't compete for the league championship this season.

The Colonels have gotten the better of DePauw in recent seasons but i expect this one today be one worth watching. Officially, excluding a potential post-season match-up, this likely is the final game in this rivalry with the Tigers moving on to the North Coast Athletic Conference. Coach Bill Fenlon would like to close out this series on a high note for DePauw. Centre is playing consistently solid ball right now but this may represent a trap game for them. 2 of the Colonels' 3 losses this year have occurred on the homecourt. I'll be surprised if DePauw doesn't compete at a high level in this one, and won't be shocked if they defeat Centre.

Think I called this one pretty accurately as DePauw comes into Centre's house and wins 65-63. Bill Fenlon's team played under control and didn't commit any critical turnovers when the game was on the line. Good overall shooting and clutch free throws in the final minute enabled DePauw to register a big road win. Centre could not hit the 3-ball today going 2-16. Very fine effort from the DePauw Tigers as they make things more interesting in the East with today's win. DePauw picks up a game on the frontrunners & stands at 9-3 in the conference; 14-7 overall. Centre drops to 15-4 and 10-2 in the conference. Both teams will be home next weekend for the Sewanee and Oglethorpe games.

Best game of the night so far was in Greencastle where DePauw won a nip & tuck affair over Oglethorpe 74-70 behind Sean Haseley's 25 points and 5-6 shooting from beyond the arc. Todd Ward put up 29 in a losing effort.

Centre won easily over Sewanee 70-35. Balanced scoring - Jeff Mullaney tallied 14 and Byron Ellis hit 4 3's for 12.

Trinity is up 8 at the half in San Antonio. No score from Georgetown yet on the Southwestern-Austin tilt.

pbrooks3 · February 11, 2011, 10:10:01 PM

Trinity still up on Colorado College 47-39 with 9 minutes to play. The surprise in this one is the SCAC's leader scorer, Nick Rose has been held to 1 point. Of course he's saddled with 4 fouls. Luke Caldarera leads TU with 10.
