For anyone who may be visiting here for the first time:  ALL SCAC tournament games will be webcast via a combination of WGRE (DePauw radio), WMHD (Rose-Hulman radio), and Teamline.  No charge for any, including Teamline.

The quality of RHIT and DePauw broadcasts is excellent.  I listened to some games last year and they do a good job even when covering two other teams.

Thats why I'm saying that numbers are relative. In Dickinson's case it's extreme relativity. He shouldn't have to put his team in the top four because without him OU would be a non-factor. There is only one other guy on the team shooting over 30% from behind the arc on a team that is second in the conference in three pointers attempted. That's how much he is carrying them. Oglethorpe has the worst field goal percentage in the conference, but Dickinson got them to the tournament; that's relatively the same as putting another team in the top half. That field goal percentage also brings up the next point in Dickinson's case- he plays power forward. The guy's only 6'1", but is still among the tops of SCAC rebounders. I understand what you're saying about guys like Ross Burt being able to do more if asked, but you also have to consider the converse as well- how much more could Dickinson do if he had more help? Lastly, I have a problem with the leading scorer in the conference not making the first team, no matter who he plays for.

Southwestern ends Oglethorpe's season, 87-71.

Aaron Bowser had 19 points and 7 seven assists, just one of five Pirates in double figures. Robert Cates had 10 boards and 13 points for Southwestern.

Andrew Tulowitzky led the Stormy Petrels with 18.

Ron Boerger

Halftime:  Millsaps 35, Centre 31.

Millsaps is led by Warren with 15 (6/8 FG) and Montgomery with 14 (7/9).  Matt Nestheide has 13 for Centre. 

Ron Boerger

Great comeback by Millsaps ... down 12 to Centre with under six minutes, have tied the game with under a minute left and just got a steal with :30 left ... :06 Tyler Warren misses a J, we're goin' to OT!

Warren and Montgomery did all the work.  They are shooting 20-31; the rest of the Majors, 5-26 ...

Ron Boerger

Double OT now ... sloppy OT with lots of turnovers and missed FTs.  Millsaps was up by four after two minutes but did not score the rest of the way.

Fouls a problem now for both teams ... Bailey has fouled out for Millsaps, two players on both teams have four. 

Ron Boerger

Centre pulls it out in 2OT, 86-80. 

Matt Nestheide had 29 pts and 10 boards playing all 50 minutes for Centre.   

Edrick Montgomery led all scores with 34 points (15/22), and added 10 rebounds;  Tyler Warren (10/17) added 28.  The rest of the Majors totalled 18 points on 5-of-32 shooting. 

Centre won the FT battle, 38-21.

Going to interesting to see what impact this game has on tomorrow's matchup against Southwestern, because all the Colonel starters played over 40 minutes (42. 43. 46. 47. 50).

Ron Boerger

Trinity leads Rhodes at the half, 48-40.  The game was very tight  for the first 11 minutes, lots of lead changes and ties.  Trinity went on an 11-0 run beginning with 8:31 remaining to take their largest lead of nine points. 

The Tigers are shooting over 50% (8-15) from beyond the arc, 56.3% overall.  James Lake has 11, Ross Burt 10, Andy Bates 9, Jay Riola 8.  The Lynx, shooting 44.1%, have gotten 10 from Rami Almefty and 9 from Matthew Jakes. 

It's been a fast-paced half with only four turnovers, 11 fouls called, and 11 free throw attempts between the two teams.

Trinity 72, Rhodes 64, with just under ten minutes to play.  Still lots of threes being thrown up by both teams (22 so far by Trinity, 15 from Rhodes).  Ross Burt just picked up his fourth foul for Trinity. 

Ron Boerger

All tied up now, 78-78 with 4:30 to play.   Rhodes has gone 6-6 on FTs in the last few minutes to help close the gap.

Rhodes 84, Trinity 83

The Lynx going for a huge upset in the opening round!

Ron Boerger

Rhodes wins by 4, 87-83.  Going to be real interesting to see if Trinity gets a "C" after a first-round shocker.   TU lived by the three in the first half, died by it in the second (2-14).  Congrats to the Lynx!

Congrats to Rhodes and Herb Hilgeman. 

That sucks. 

Hopefully Trinity will live to see another day in the NCAA tournament.  They have a shot.

This certainly opens things up a bit.

If Rose-Hulman can somehow manage a victory this evening against DePauw, I like the Engineers' chances a WHOLE LOT better against Rhodes than I did against the Tigers. Just a huge win for Rhodes College.

Biggest upset in the history of the tournament?
