MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Fan of the Game]

Trinity's style of play is very different this year.  They have a lot more speed and push more in transition.  The ball movement in the half court is much better.   
Transfer Brandon York is a big contributor with good speed and shooting ability.  Casey Hill has stepped up his game and is looking strong this season.  Last year's reserves James Lake, Jay Riola, and Mitch Walker also look very good this season.  I like what I'm seeing from Mike Gilb.  He's quicker this year and is rebounding well.

I saw that Sewanee lost to Emory tonight 112-94. The 94 pts will hurt Sewanee's 96 pt game averge some, but the loss drops them to 3-2. They can't ever seen to beat Emory. I thought this might be the year. Sewanee has some offense this year, but I think they are team still looking for their personality. They are playing a lot of players right now( freshmen are getting quality time & one will continue to start )looking to find who can contribute. By Feb. I think they will be a solid nine deep.

Wabash defeats DePauw 68-57. The Little Giants kept Stewart, Schott and Moore in check. Schott scored just two before fouling out. Moore was scoreless, and Stewart had five points. Sakel led DePauw with 11. The Tigers shot only 34.5% from the field and shot just 13 from 23 from the line. DPU also commited 19 turnovers.

After surging to an eight point lead with 6:04 to go in the first half, they just went totally out of sync.

Millsaps plays Piedmont this Friday and Piedmont is coming off a 100-80 home victory over Oglethorpe ( http://www.piedmont.edu/athletics/05_06_headlines/11_29_05_mbkb.htm ).  One note of interest is that Piedmont outrebounded OU 50-29.  I don't know what OU has in the post-Churchwell era but OU beat Emory 74-72 and Emory beat Sewanee 112-94 so I assume that OU has a solid team.

In addition to Piedmont, Millsaps plays Belhaven College, a local NAIA team.  This weekend might go a long way in telling just what kind of team Millsaps will have this season.  It will be interesting to see the rebounding stats and just how well Millsaps can score inside the 3-point arc.

Does anyone know if there's going to be a webcast of the Trinity/Southwestern game tonight?

I think that TU SID said all of the games would be on live-stat!

HUGE conference showdown in Texas tonight.....

Trinity has jumped out to a 9 point lead early, 16-7, behind 11 points from Andy Bates on 4-for-4 from the field overall including 3-for-3 from 3-pt. land!!!

Very odd game thusfar.

Both Ross Burt from Trinity and Aaron Bowser from Southwestern have yet to score.

Trinity 26, Southwestern 13

10:37 / 1st Half

[Rose Basketball]

WOW.

Bates now 8-for-8 from the field and 6-for-6 from behind the arc!!

22 points.

Still 4:35 left in the first half.

WOW.

Trinity 36, Southwestern 20.

[Rose Basketball]

Halftime

Trinity 39, Southwestern 29

Bates (T) 22 points, 8-8 FG, 6-6 3-pt. FG, 6 rebs.   

Little (SW) 10 pts., 5 rebs.

Southwestern's gotta be pleased with a 10 point defecit considering Trinity came out firing and nearly turned this into a laugher.
