MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[jekelish]

They're having trouble with the camera at the SCAC, from what I've been told, so who knows if that's something that will be solved today.

[pbrooks3]

I'll touch base with D3allstar about the camera.

The video feed is up and running...

Ugly final 10 minutes, but it's #24 in a row. We'll need to be a lot better Saturday regardless of opponent.

WGRE guys,

Thanks for the coverage this afternoon, it has made my Friday at work more tolerable. I have not purchased the live video feed yet. Anyone want to critique on the live video feed? Is it worth the purchase?

How's the Trinity DPU game going?  Looking for a score.

[DPU3619]

It took two overtimes, but Trinity beats DePauw 82-77.

I believe Mike Moore missed a 3 at the end of regulation to win it.  Don't know how good of a look he got at it.  Moore went on to drop a 24 pts, 7 ast, 5 reb line before fouling out in the second extra session.  Oilar had a 15 and 11 dub-dub.

Barrett Koch had 21 and B.J. Moon had 20 for TU.

Frank, think you probably like the outcome of the Trinity-DPU game. Am I right?

[frank_ezelle]

I have to think that the outcome of both games today are the ones that were best for Millsaps.  Centre losing to anyone other than Millsaps is bad for Millsaps, and the DePauw loss probably helps to some degree.  Millsaps was already ahead of DePauw in the rankings so DePauw wasn't a problem unless Millsaps didn't keep pace with them. 

It is fairly certain that DePauw will not get an at-large berth and they are certainly a team that has the talent to be in the NCAA Tourney.  They had the close losses to Oglethorpe, the close one to Centre, and now the close one to Trinity.  Just a few more buckets and they would be a lock for an at-large berth, so I know this was a tough loss for the DePauw team and especially for the seniors.  And by the same token, it was a great win for a Trinity team that has had its share of struggles this year.  Congratuations to Depauw for a very good year that was so close to really great, and to a Trinity team for a very gritty win this afternoon.

I wasn't able to get the live video or audio, which has not been a problem in the past. Did everyone get the live video, and or audio of the DePauw-Trinity game ok?

[d3allstar]

video was really rough first game, decent second game, and working well (as a knock on wood) right now in the third game...

There's about a 10 second delay between the live action and the video but I'm not complaining--it is great to listen to the WGRE broadcast and then have a visual to watch.  It wasn't that long ago that finding out a score on an out-of-state D3 game was the next day at best, and sometimes it took two days to find out the score. 

The Hendrix gym looks great as do the Millsaps Women's Basketball who are sitting at mid-court supporting the Majors.  The Millsaps men are looking pretty good themselves with a 44-22 lead at halftime.  Millsaps is a team with a point to prove, a team that feels like they haven't received the respect they deserve, and I don't expect a letdown during the tournament.  That doesn't mean that they'll win the tournament, but I think they'll will be intense for 40 minutes of every game.

It's amazing how quickly we get spoiled by technology!  I get mildly irritated when the live stats and internet broadcast at out of sync.  Only eleven years ago, IWU won the national title - I didn't even know that they had until an alumni mag showed up several months later!

It makes you wonder just how far things will advance over the next 11 years!

Video is coming in well now. Hey, what about that De Pauw game. I have seen them play twice this year against Centre, and they were the team that I thought could really surprise everyone. They have all of the pieces of the puzzle, a great low post player in Schott, one of the best point guards in D-III in Moore, a 3pt. shooter in Oiler who is impossible to defend, 2-other great wing/guards, and a deep bench with many role players. I am really surprised, but wasn't able to get the video of the game. How did Trinity beat them?
