And in that same OU/MC game, Oglethorpe's Josh Burr became the league's all-time leader in three-point field goals made. He now has 265 for his career.

It must have been a great game at OU. Josh Burr sets an SCAC career record and Edrick Montgomery breaks the oldest single game record in the SCAC. Aside from a double-double in points and rebounds, Montgomery had a double-double that must be extremely rare in NCAA basketball at any level--11 offensive rebounds and 15 defensive rebounds. (By the way, sometimes records fall in overtime games because of the added time but in this case the 26 rebounds came in 33 minutes of playing time.)

I've never seen a closer box score for a game:
FG made 33 vs. 32
3 pts made 10 vs. 11
Free throws 16 of 33 vs. 18 of 33
Rebounds 49 each
Assists 20 vs 19
Turnovers 18 each

Does anybody know if there is a live webcast of the Sewanee vs Trinity game tonight. If not, any updates or game stats would be appreciated. Thanks.

Millsaps won over Hendrix 84-78 in OT Friday night. It was close throughout and obviously both teams had a good opportunity to win since it was an OT game. These are two teams who have come a long way in a hurry. On the Hendrix team I was really impressed with 6'6" freshman Andrew King. The box score has him with 20 points (on 8 of 9 shooting) and 7 rebounds. Millsaps has a history of shortchanging players on both teams in the stats when it comes to rebounds, assists, blocks, etc., so I wouldn't be surprised if King actually had a double-double.

For Millsaps Tyler Warren had 27 points and really took charge in the OT period. Edrick Montgomery was the only other players in double figures with 20 and he officially had 10 rebounds but I think that unofficially the number was a good bit higher. Coach Wise went deeper into his bench during this game with 9 players getting double-digit minutes. One of the things that kept this game close was the dismal 3 for 17 shooting Millsaps had from 3-point range (compared to 8 of 18 for Hendrix). Part of it was just a sub-par shooting performance and some of it has to be credited to the Hendrix defense--I don't remember us getting a lot of wide open looks.

Defensively, Millsaps seemed to play hard but Hendrix shot 47% from the field and 44% from 3-point range. Hendrix has been one of the top shooting teams in the league but those numbers are right in line with the Millsaps season average which ranks at or near the bottom of the league. Since very few college teams play a zone defense any more, that's probably not the answer but I think we have the talent to be a good defensive team and for some reason we are having a lot of trouble stopping the other teams. I'm fairly confident that these defensive numbers will improve one way or another as the season progresses.

One more note regarding the Millsaps-Hendrix game. My impression has always been that Tyler Warren is far more concerned with wins than stats, but the 27 points last night bumped him up several notches on a couple of list.

He moved into the 10th spot for points scored at Millsaps by passing Zack Wallace, Torrance Shelton, and David Chancellor. On the all-time SCAC scoring list he moved up 4 spots to 39th, passing recent SCAC stars Jason Smith, Sean Devins, Jeremy Bettis, plus Zack Wallace.

Trinity's bench won the game against Millsaps last night. Brandon York was the leading scorer in the unexpectedly close game, with 27 points in just 19 minutes, Mike Gilb added 12 in 13 minutes. Those two went 15-21, the rest of the team was 14-51 as Andy Bates and Jay Riola suffered through an uncharacteristic 0-13 shooting nite. Ross Burt had 15 boards and 12 points. Sewanee got 19 from Joey Garcia, 13 points/11 rebounds from Ben Campbell, 15 points from Spencer Rowland.

Gilb's 12 points were a season high; he'd scored a total of 22 points in 11 prior appearances this season. York's 27 was also a season high.

Rose Basketball · January 07, 2006, 10:16:37 PM

Rose-Hulman enters the conference win column this evening with a 69-52 victory over the Tigers of DePauw in Terre Haute.

Munchie Muskeyvalley scored a career high 28 to lead the Engineers (5-8, 1-2). Muskeyvalley also dished out 8 assists. Jared Moore chipped in 16.

DePauw got two in double figures as Austin Brown and Stephen Schott scored 11 and 12 points, respectively. The Tigers fell to 5-8 overall and 1-2 in the SCAC.

Rose returns to league play hostin both Sewanee and Centre next weekend at Hulbert Arena.

Ron, Trinity beat Sewanee not Millsaps, and I think you are wrong when you say the game was unexpectedly close. Playing on the mountain top on a Friday night is one of the toughest places to play in the league. Sewanee plays so hard, particularly up there. Great win for Trinity.

I see that the Millsaps-Rhodes game hasn't been listed on the SCAC Scoreboard. Millsaps won by about 15, maybe something like 90 to 75. In the first half Rhodes had the lead most of the way and Millsaps hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cut the lead to 40-39 at the break. In the second half Millsaps pulled away and built a lead of about 20.

Hendrix beat Rhema Bible College Tuesday night. Freshman sensation Andrew King was the high scorer finishing with his fourth double double of the season. Matt Secrease, who is currently ranked 3rd in the nation in freethrows, finished with 11 points. The fiesty Warriors will play at Rhodes College tommorrow at 5 following the girls game at 3.

Sounded like a great game in Greencastle tonight...Centre holds on for 90-88 double-overtime win after DePauw's Alex Stewart hits three-pointers at the end of regulation and the first overtime to extend the game.

Rose-Hulman defeats Sewanee 80-52.

9:30 to go in the game:
