MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[BigRedFan]

Congrats to Chris Luther on his POTW selection....the Big Red are playing some REAL good ball late in the season when it matters the most.

I can only assume that the person writing the article for the NCAC attended somewhere other than Denison. 

10-22 is NOT 54%  :-)   Truth be told, Chris shot 12 of 22 which IS 54%  Really 55%!!

Go Big Red....make it 4 in a row!!!

[Pat Coleman]

Fat jokes?  Really???  Is there any kid in the league with a funny haircut you want to rip on while your at it?  Maybe a guy with a tatoo that you don't care for?  Why stop with the just the big fellas??

Shoot, I thought I had deleted that post, which was clearly in poor taste and completely unneeded on this board. Apparently I decided not to.

I'll rectify that.

Wittenberg is back up to a 25-game schedule, with a last minute addition.  The Tigers will now face Indiana Univ.-East on Feb. 16 at 5:30 at Witt.  This will be the first game of a most unusual late February men's/women's non-conference doubleheader, as the Witt women have a scheduled game vs. Capital at 7:30 that evening.

IU - East? Well, when you need play a game, that certainly will be a game. A good game? Now that's another story. But it is a game...

Well, for whatever it is worth, the Red Wolves are 18-7 on the year.

[smedindy]

I haven't been able to get a read on what that 18-7 record really means. They're a cipher...

[ScotsFan]

Allegheny picked up their 4th conference win and ended their 5 game losing streak defeating Oberlin last night 76-67 at Oberlin.  Allegheny is now 4-7 in conference and 8-12 overall.  Oberlin falls to 1-10 and 4-16 overall.

Yea, I guess Wittenberg could have scheduled Calumet College of St. Joseph 

[Pat Coleman]

Or some school from Canada.

curious........Wabash 80 Calumet St. Joeseph 77.........this year even.

Sounds like a helluva game!

No offense, but after so many years of the Ws - go Puppies!

Final:  Wooster 89  Hiram 87

Huge road win for Wooster as they tie up Hiram for first place in the NCAC.  Both teams shot incredibly well tonight (Wooster 54%, Hiram 52%).  Justin Hallowell led Wooster with 24 points (all on 8 three pointers), Ian Franks had 21 points (19 in the second half and many near the end of the game), Bryan Wickliffe with 15 points and Nathan Balch chipped in 12 points.

Both teams also shot well on three pointers -- Wooster made 16 of 28 from behind the arc and Hiram hit 11 of 24 three point shots.

Hiram was led by Glen Campbell with 18 points and Chris Roberts with 11 points.  Andrew Weigand also chipped in 11 points for the Terriers.

Wooster and Hiram are both now 14-6, 9-2 NCAC.   Scots host Wabash on Saturday

[smedindy]

Hey now! I'm not defending Wabash's scheduling. Heck, they used to make a habit out of pasting IU-Kokomo. I had no idea IU-East was in an actual conference (sometimes these branch schools don't really have much of an organization - at least in the past) and trying to figure out how strong it was in NAIA-II. So my flippancy was unfounded.
