That is a great article. Thanks, Lancer.

I'll echo the previous sentiments.  Thanks for that great article lancer.

Back from Richmond and some insight on the Earlham Allegheny game yesterday.  Earlier this week I was hoping for Freshman Tristin Gregory to step up and he ended up leading Earlham in scoring with 15 points. (12 first half point)
Brandon Miller had a solid 2 games this weekend for Earlham.  Yesterday's win was a Team effort and that is what they will need to do to finish in the top 4 of the NCAC.

Majzlik ended up coming out of the game with a head injury.  Looked like he got an Elbow to the head while going for a Rebound, and didn't play the last 5 minutes of the game.  I really liked the way PG McCloskey plays the game for the Gators.  Freshman Hollihan could be a solid player for them if he hits the weightroom and works on finishing around the basket.

Big week for EC, playing at Wittenberg on Wed. and then going to OWU on saturday.  I think they will win at least 1 out of 2, but i'd love to steal one from WItt.

We would all love Earlham to steal one from Witt.  Go Quakers!

[earlhamalum]

The last time Earlham beat Wittenberg was the 1999-00 season.  The Quakers didn't just beat Wittenberg at home in Triple-O.T. in one of the best D3 games I've either seen or been apart of, but EC the following week went into Springfield and won again. 

I'll never forget the article in Wittenberg's hometown paper after our O.T. win.  (Wittenberg played down to the level of competition.)  I'll tell you that was in our locker-room all week before we went to Springfield.  Anyone that would of watched that game in a non-bias point of view, would of said Earlham Played up to the level of competition.

i dont think witt will have any problems as blunt as that sounds. we have no opponents to look ahead to and our starters have gotten some rest with our bench producing heavily over break, even though ohio northern was the only top quality opponent. we'll see the next three wednesdays leading up to wooster again as we have vs earlham, vs wabash, and then vs owu.

anyone else besides me think that denison isnt worth wasting all this space on here- i mean come on no one cares

Hey DC...do a check on who coached that Muhlenberg team...I think you will be surprised to find who the coach was 

[ScotsFan]

Nice catch hoopsfan.  That would have been Steve Moore's 1st season at Muhlenberg I believe.  I thought he inherited a down program when he arrived at Wooster, but the Mules must have really been awful when Moore took over the reigns there.  He did turn things around in a hurry.  From his bio, he won the MAC South COY in '83 and led the Mules to back to back MAC titles in 84-85 and 85-86 as well as helping Muhlenberg to it's first 20 win season in over 40 years in the 85-86 season.  That would be right before he decided to come to Wooster in 1987 and the rest is history.

This is an NCAC board and the regulars around here actually want more input from other teams, not less. So the Denison talk is a refreshing change from the pattern of Woo, Woo, Woo, 'Bash, Woo, Woo, Witt, Woo, Woo, Earlham in the past.

[pennstghs]

i never said the talk was bad-i just said i was getting tired about hearing the same subject being pointlessly discussed over and over again

I care!! :-)

[bishopsfan]

I agree I think that the talk about Denison is refreshing and interesting.  I just objected to the constant blasting of Coach Ghiloni but since I vented I feel a lot better and have found the conversation very entertaining.   Lets be realistic, the Big Red are an inexperienced team.  Inexperienced teams do not win.  Why should Coach Ghiloni play his upperclassmen all the time, that will not solve the problem of their inexperience at every other position besides the post.  Perhaps Coach Ghiloni is looking toward the future.  By playing more people this year they will be more battle tested and ready to compete next year.  Just a thought.

On another note, this is a big week for the Bishops.  I would love to see them 2-0 at the end of the week.

Go Bishops!!
