MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

The Cap Center lot is free, but that won't help much if it's full when you get there.  After that, it's street parking, unless Capital opens up another lot for event parking.

There are no parking garages within walking distance?  I'm not looking too forward to these parking horror stories I'm hearing about.  I probably won't be able to get down there much before 5 on Friday night.  Guess I'd better wear my walking shoes... 

The only time I've been shut out of the main lot, the school was on a break (Christmas, probably), and they were letting us park anywhere we chose.  So I've never had to investigate parking in Bexley proper.  But there's a shopping/dining district on E. Main Street just two blocks from the Cap Center, so I expect there'll be some place for everyone to park.  It might not be too bad for early-game partisans; most of the locals will probably not arrive until after the Wooster/Gettysburg game has started, and I'm not terribly concerned about overflow crowds at the OAC Indoor Track & Field Championships.  (Although that requires a lot of team buses and vans that must be parked somewhere.)

Most of us have experience parking at Wooster, and the situation seems not too different: once the Lowry Center lot is full, you're pretty much left with street parking.  What I don't know about Bexley is if street parking is metered or otherwise limited, or if there's any municipal lots within easy walking distance of the Cap Center.  It's too bad the OAC board is bereft of Capital supporters!

I watched several games at the Capital Center back when I lived in Columbus.  Capital is situated mostly in a residential neighborhood, and street parking will be available on these streets as long as you're willing to walk a few blocks.  On the residential streets, there aren't any meters.  There may be meters on Main Street- I can't remember for sure, but you can't park on Main during the afternoon rush hour period, so avoid parking on the street there (you will get ticketed/towed- they require the lane to be free to run the #2 bus on Main).  Instead, you could see if there are spaces in the commercial lots along Main, or just drive through Bexley's charming and leafy residential neighborhoods to find a place to park.

Capital.edu's NCAA Tournament Central page

• There will be live video of each game, and there's nothing to suggest that there will be a charge for this service.
• Tickets are available at the Cap Center all week during regular business hours.

[Pat Coleman]

Schools are not allowed to charge for video during the NCAA Tournament, to the best of my knowledge.

This is definitely true!    We Wooster fans can't really complain about lack of parking...

Dorsey is the most athletic player outside of Powers and can be a match up problem for most teams when he's on his game.

waterboy -

Just stopped in here to see what people were saying about the Wooster-Gettysburg game and was impressed with your breakdown of the Bullets.  I saw them beat F&M three times, and I still don't know how they lost eight games.  They have everyone back from last year's Sweet 16 squad and are currently playing their best ball of the season. 

I don't know much about Wooster, but if the Scots can keep Dorsey from getting hot (he can be streaky) I think it improves their chances tremendously.  When Dorsey and Capkin are BOTH hitting, the Bullets are tough to stop.  Powers is one of the more well-rounded big men I've ever seen play in the Centennial.  Best of luck to all and enjoy the games!

I have gathered together the rosters and stats for the teams that will be playing at Capital this weekend.  They can be found here:  http://www.jtaswell.com/2009MBB/2009_MBB_Capital_Pod_Stats.htm

If anyone cares to have that information in an excel file, drop me a note and I'll be happy to send it to you!

Go Scots!!

Congrats to all the selections to make the All-conference teams this past season!  You should all be applauded!  I can't say that I'm overly surprised by the POY, NOY and COY selections. 

As far as the selections go, I have to admit, I didn't see Marty making 1st team, but it's nice to see him get the honor as the lone sr. on this year's Wooster team!  Nice to see Wooster well represented once again with 4 of their 5 starters garnering all-conference recognition!  8)

On another note, when's the last time that Hiram and Oberlin each had more all-conference represntation than Witt?

When's the last time Witt didn't have a first teamer?

I think it's the first time Witt hasn't had a first-team selection while a member of the NCAC.

RE: ALL NCAC tEAM

Congratulations to all of the Honorees.

You"ll all exemplary both on and off the court. Soak it in for a little while.

As a Kenyon supporter, I am particularly proud of Bryan,Dave, and JT.

As a newbie, I can't comment regarding pre 07' selections. I decided not to go back and research.

Rather, I wonder if you can extrapolate from the names, schools, and class yr. about the future.

Now isn't the time for this topic, but maybe following the Tournament.

I would like to see the NCAC Conference continue to improve overall, further I would love to see them rule the Great Lakes Region. There is no shortage of Talent and Coaching. For now, Go Wooster!

PS: Hi CC, Sophie, Cam.

[ScotsFan]

Anyone having trouble getting the video feed for the Wooster game?

[woosterbooster]

I can't get it either.  OAC bastards.

Ha!  I was thinking more specifically Capital bastards!  Leave it to Cap to screw us over!!!
