Whitworth up 10 at the half.  Trinity pressing and making lots of mistakes, some forced and some not.  Really need LAmbert to find his stroke in the second half.  Fewer fouls called in first half than last night but Whit center has either 6 or 8 fts - none for TU.

Ron Boerger

My bad - only 4 fts for Credit, who is is 0-3 otherwise.  Lasisi is 5-8 from beyond the arc and has 17 points.

Ron Boerger

Whitworth had a 21-point lead but Trinity turned the D way up, now trail 47-44 with 8 left

Ron Boerger

Whitworth found their shooting stroke again, the long threes and the lead is and over 10 with 3:38 left.

Trinity coach had great defensive gameplan. The 2-3 zone gave Whitworth fits. They hammered Friedt down low and Felix didn't get many calls, limiting his points. Congrats to Trinity for making it to the second round. They really stepped up their game for the tourney.

Ron Boerger

We had a good game plan for Freidt but that opened up your three point shooters and we had no answer for the way Lasisi was knocking them down.   Our big gun, Zach Lambert, was defended very well all night and never really got it going with the exception of those few minutes during the comeback from 21 down where he got to the free throw line on drives a few times.   Your defense on our shooters was very good almost all night.  If we could have only gotten a three to fall after to closing to within three late ... but it was not to be.

There's no shame in losing to a team as talented as Whitworth, and I wish your young men well the rest of the way.     We bring everyone back but Beall next year, so perhaps we shall meet again.   :)

Very strong finish to a fantastic season for Trinity. You represented the SCAC well.

Contemplating the SCAC in 2012-13...

My guess is that they keep the new SCAC in South Region so that the conference keeps the options for in-region games with the old friends in the SAA.

The West Region has so many teams in the Region.

Trinity's taking a trip to Italy this month - first time I can remember them sending a squad of any sport overseas - and will be playing some games there.  All the returning players are going per http://www.trinitytigers.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/05-10-12_mbkb_italy.

They will chronicle their journey (departing 14 May, returning on 23 May) on their Courtside with the Tigers blog.  Glad to see TU is taking advantage of the NCAA's provision which allows a team to tour internationally every so often.

Hope you don't mind a break in the action, as it were, but I want to share a story the D3 community should know about. You actually may have seen the story on the front page of D3hoops.com, but just in case:

A Goucher basketball player has been paralyzed in a freak accident. He was wrestling around with a friend one morning in his dorm building when he landed on his neck. The entire story is here.

He was released from the hospital to the Kennedy Krieger Institute for rehab shortly after that article was posted last week. However, over the weekend he was sent back to the hospital when he apparently had trouble breathing. Now he awaits a return to the rehab facility, probably any day if he hasn't been released already.

Please keep Damone Brooks, his family, the Goucher basketball team(s), and Goucher community in your thoughts, hearts, and prayers. The family certainly needs help with medical bills as well, so if you feel inclined, please consider them as well.

Anyone know what the conference schedule will look like this season with the SCAC having just six teams? Will each team play the others twice or three times? Or some other combination?

tarheelfan - conference teams will play each other three times for the 2012-13 season.

Will that be a back-to-back home/ single game away format?

Thanks

Ralph,

For those scheduled to play at Colorado twice, yes, those games will be played back to back on same trip. There are a couple of other back-to-back, same site games scheduled as well. Composite schedule should be on SCAC website soon.
