OWU is scary hot right now. Witt should beware.

Wooster quietly turned in a solid performance tonight.

There's very little thats quiet about a 52 point victory   I nominate this for understatement of the night. ;D

True, on the scoreboard.  I should have said that it was quiet while Wooster was beating Kenyon by 52...because the Wooster crowd seemed pretty small and pretty calm most of the game.  The only real flourish was the early second half, and after that the game was decided.

Probably saving our energies for the weekend.

I'd say this.

I could understand an 85-year old oldtimer with that old "this isn't how it used to be attitude."

But a student, probably knowing what his frat brothers are saying to those players or could at least imagine, shouldn't react the same way in my mind.

Russ and Borchers got nasty with some dunks, and witt was looking a little better in the half court. Hill and Howard combine for 25. I think Hodgkinsons mom wanted a few more foul calls but what can you say.

The game is all wrapped up and the  crowd if filing out of the arena, however, there are quite a few spectators who are very interested in whether these free throws go in or not.   -Brent Musburger

I agree with that. But the only callout I heard was in reference to Jewett saying something to the Wabash bench. If that is what happened I'd say that merits comment.

Fair enough on talking to the bench.

Still, he also mentioned the attitudes of Henry and Miller. Really, it only bothered me a little. Broadcast was great and it sounded like a super-charged atmosphere.

But speaking of Jewett......huge game for him on the road. And those free throws........the karma was traveling south from Evanston, IL (96/100 today).

And, even when I was a student (mind you - it's been a while) I hated taunting and showboating, and I hate it now. It's abhorrent, and not 'fun' behavior. It's why I really can't stand the NBA.

Earlham turned it up big time in the second half. Geez. They repeatedly broke through Wabash's press with no problems. They shot 69.6% from the floor in the second half and hit all five three-pointers.

Wabash played a good 2nd half on offense, but gave up 54 points. Yowza!

I'm glad that these games between Earlham and Wabash have been good. I like the rivalry with the Indiana schools. It kind of reminds me of the old ICAC.

Boy are you right about the NBA.

Ok - can anyone at the Witt game give me the Artie Taylor suit report?

Also, anyone at Wooster - please - I want daily updates on Friday and Saturday about the Artie Taylor suit.

I wish we had a regular Witt poster to give us the sartorial rundown every week!

The winner, by a narrow margin, and despite getting no points for the OWU game (as did many others), Vanilla24COW!

As expected, the three people who correctly picked Earlham finished at the top of the list, but earlhamalum, who picked against his own ballclub, wasn't too far behind.  DC, the only man to pick against OWU and to miss two games still managed to finish in the middle of the pack.

Actual Finals
Wooster 96, Kenyon 44. Wooster by 52
Wittenberg 83, Denison 61. Wittenberg by 22
OWU 106, Allegheny 67. OWU by 39.

Any reason why LaRon Henry didn't start for Earlham. Not that it mattered, he played 30 minutes.

Nice work, Wooster Booster.  Are you planning on doing the same thing for the semifinals?

Speculation would be that he was late for a shoot around or practice...not starting is typically Justus' punishment.

And back to the press that you mentioned in an earlier post. Seemed like a strange strategy to me. Earlham, though they may have shot well tonight, is stricken with droughts as often as third-world countries. Sounded like a big mistake to force tempo and give Earlham a number of easy shots....you would have thought keeping it in the halfcourt (where Earlham had no answer for Zimmer) would have given Wabash the better chance at winning.
