You can count one of them from me -- the name-calling and political references were out of bounds.

I don't see any name-calling or political references in his post.  Was there a deleted post I missed?

While I am one of your biggest fans and frequent defenders, you DO seem a bit testy lately (e.g., Raider 68, who is fully accepted as a regular on the MIAA board).

Unless he deleted posts. You'd have to go back a few days, though, I hadn't read NCAC since before leaving for Vegas.

I did not delete any posts.

I hope both Wabash and Woo win their next contests.  That sets up a match of undefeateds in C-ville on Jan 8.  Certainly, Woo will be and deserves to be favored.  I am certain that Wabash will and will always fight ... it should make for a great game.  The only negative is that school has not begun again ... the game deserves a FULL HOUSE.

Ha.  I not only lost $6.95 but also three karma points.  What a surprise.

Baruch (Wooster's next opponent) lost to Embry Riddle in yesterday's nightcap down in Florida 96-75.  Embry Riddle is also ranked 3rd in the NAIA II Top 25 FWIW.

The Bearcats also don't appear to be very tall as their tallest starter goes 6'5" and they have a 6'7" guy coming off the bench. Here are the probable Baruch College starters:
G     Tammer Farid, Sr, 6'2" - 10ppg
G     Lionel Hillaire, Sr, 5'11" - 17.8ppg (26 3-pointers made-leads the team)
G/F  Chris Beauchamp, Jr, 6'1" - 20ppg (leading team in scoring, 47-51 at the ft line  )
C/F  Sean Loftus, Sr, 6'5" - 10.4ppg
G/F  Arki Wisnu, Sr, 6'3" - 4.1ppg

ScotsFan - thanks for the scouting reports on William Carey and Baruch.k+  In today's game vs. Baruch, Wooster should be able to score in the paint given Baruch's short lineup. They really don't have the players to match up well against Hallowell, Wickliffe, Claytor and Mays.  Baruch may play zone for this reason and then Wooster will have a good chance to hit three pointers and win the rebound battle.  I am sure though that we will see Baruch's best effort today since every team strives to pull the big upset against the #1 team.

GO SCOTS!

Wooscotsfan, I'm once again amazed at your speed!  The game no sooner ends than you have a post up here.  But I've figured you out.  No doubt you stock posts, in some monstrous database, for the zillions of myriad possible endings.  As things wind down, some sort of custom software continually eliminates and eliminates until the correct one is found.  Duly impressive.
