MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[sigma one]

Guessing a bit, but I think it is a fill the schedule game.  Wabash used to have a home tourney close to Christmas, but that has gone away.  Dabney has played several Indiana teams this year.

All home games, I assume?

Lost in transit.  Word is they showed up in Wabash, Indiana, looking for the College.  No Dabs at game time.  No Dabs during the next hour.  Nor the next.  Referees from Ohio thought they waited long enough and decided to go home.  Game declared no contest after discussion with Wabash.  Refs, team, fans dispersed.  One guess who walked through the front doors of the Allen Center not long after.
     Folks, there is a Wabash College; there is a Wabash, Indiana; there is a Wabash River; there is a Wabash Valley College (two year).  None of them are all that close to one another.  For future reference:  Wabash College is in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
     I was there to see the game, sat and stood around, said my holiday greetings to the fans and players I know, and was walking out of the building when the Dab's came in.  I didn't stick around to hear or see the rest of the story. 

This almost happened to my wife's parents. Back in the day they did not have a cell phone but fortunately we called them just before they were to leave to attend the game. They were going to head to Wabash, Indiana, a four drive for them. We corrected their destimation and they made the game on time.

Wittenberg continues to roll, dumping Grove City 79-40 yesterday and Kean 91-75 today to win their own Zimmerman Classic for the, like, billionth time. Scott Masin had a double double-double (12 and 11 today, 11 and 14 yesterday) to win MVP honors.

Elsewhere, Hiram drops Olivet, 95-87, at Mt. Union. The Terriers take on Adrian tomorrow in this classic-format tournament.

DePauw (vs. Drew in the Tampa Bay Shootout), OWU (vs. Marietta at Defiance), and Wooster (vs. Thiel at the Mose Hole Classic) also return to action tomorrow.

Wooster vs. Thiel at the Mose Hole Classic.

I'm saving you a seat.  Bring the popcorn.  The game is at The College of Wooster in the town with the same name.  Nowhere near the river.

No video from Wooster due to technical difficulties.  Unbelievable.  How is it that these schools are continually so incompetent at this?  Are those responsible even reprimanded?  Does anybody even care?  I'm definitely caring less and less about this program and DIII in general.

You are caring less about Wooster basketball because some video equipment is not working?

Wooster was led tonight by Xavier Brown with 19 points, Scott Purcell with 15 points (5 three pointers), Josh Kipfer with 12 and Kenny DeBoer added 10.  Scots made 14 three pointers compared to only 3 by Thiel.  Wooster also outrebounded the Tomcats by 49 boards vs. only 29.

Final:  Ohio Wesleyan 79  Marietta 74

Nice win by the Bishops over the OAC leader, Marietta, on a neutral court.  OWU was led by Claude Gray with 22 points and Reuel Rogers with 13.

Both teams are now 8-2 and both have also lost to Wooster.

I know I'd be upset about a thing that's free that didn't exist 15 years ago and is sometimes at the whim of bandwidth, equipment, power, and weather.

When I was growing up, walking 3 miles to school (in the snow and uphill each way) we'd hover around the radio and listen to games on a very crackly AM station.  You know what, we didn't bitch about it either.  Sometimes, after the game, we'd meet on the party line (old telephone) and discuss the game.  Good memories.  Anything above that is a bonus.
