39-30 at half. Come on Scots, one more half to go.

OWU looks terrible. They are at risk of this one getting ugly. Axelrod and Clark have been way, way off. Axelrod has taken some questionably long 3's. Woo on the other hand looks sharp and under control.

Woo pushed it out to 20, OWU was shooting below 30% until under 10 min to go in the game...and somehow it's a 68-63 game now.

I haven't really been watching, but OWU now down six with 4:43 left in the game. Come on Woo, you have to stop them

Woo has been struggling on offense outside of Fanelly. Someone else needs to step up.

Good job by Dupler (baseline floater) and Williams (mid range J) to do just that down the stretch.

damn that was a good 3 by OWU.

WooClone15 · February 25, 2017, 05:45:06 PM

And Wooster pulled it out. But wow that was close. Great job by OWU

Very good game. I couldn't believe OWU got the steal and layup off the Woo in bound down 4 with under a minute. And he got fouled (but missed the FT). Crazy. The Bishops had the go ahead 3 go in and out with 13 seconds left. I did NOT think they'd be in that position. Fun game to watch! Congrats, Scots.

Blessed.

Congratulations to the Wooster Scots on qualifying for the NCAA tournament and Coach Moore on his 800th career win.

A great game to watch. Wooster builds a BIG lead as OWU shot poorly from 3 and turned it over at a much higher rate than season average. But I had that feeling that they were not going to go away.

Congrats to the Scots on their 16th NCAC tournament title and their NCAA record 15th straight trip to the NCAA tournament and lastly on Coach Moore's 800th win!!!

Hard to believe this team was once 6-6 albeit against some pretty good competition. They've gone 15-1 since then and now with the automatic bid, only have to wait to see who and where they play and not if they play!

BTW, why was the championship game not held later? I was assuming the game was tipping off around 7 and when I when to check out the tip time, the game was final?! Don't get why they had to play the game so early?!

The NCAC Tournament final is now set at 4:00, regardless of the teams involved. I assume that it had to do with travel, in situations where the visiting team has a long trip home (for example, Wabash at Wooster a few years back.)

Thanks for the reply.

Wooster takes on North Central (IL) in a pod that includes Westminister and Hanover as host. Thoughts?

No at-large selection for Ohio Wesleyan or Denison, as expected. First time in a while (I think?) that the NCAC has been a one-bid league.

Last time was 2007, the year Wooster went to the Final Four for the second time.
