MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

I can't get it either.  OAC bastards.

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

I also can't get the video.  I think Capital just has a dead link on the page- or they never really intended to broadcast it.

Man, this sucks.  If you're gonna put out video, for God's sakes test it sometime earlier in the week to see if you know what you're doing.  ****.

I can't get the video either....even after reinstalling the latest Quicktime program.

Gettysburg now 6-9 from deep, and who knows if they're open or contested.

At the Half:  Gettysburg 37  Wooster 32

Wooster is being led by Ian Franks with 10 points, Nathan Balch with 7 points and Justin Hallowell with 6 points.

Gettysburg's top scorers are Andrew Powers with 13 points, Dan Capkin with 9 points and Corey Dorsey with 8 points.

The Bullets are shooting 58% from the floor and have made 6 three pointers.  Scots at 50% FG but only 1 of 6 on three point shots.

[kiltedbryan]

So far I feel like Wooster isn't quite clicking.  Balch seems to be 100% though.  I can't imagine the Scots will only shoot 6 threes in the second half, but they will need to start falling.

Gettysburg isn't really a 3-pt shooting team...I also wonder whether they can hit that same percentage for another half.  We'll see.

[ScotsFan]

At least from listening to the game , the Bullets' perimeter defense seems to be for real.  I don't know if Hallowell has even attempted a trey in the first half...

Still, if I were Wooster, I wouldn't be too upset with where they sit at the half.  To only be 1 of 6 from deep and conversely to see Gettysburg come out and go 6 of 9 from deep, to only be down 5 isn't all that bad!

Wooster's defense has to improve if they want to have any chance at a comeback in the 2nd half.  They can't continue to allow Gettysburg to shoot over 50%, let alone near 60% like they did in the 1st half!

Come on Wooster!  Finish strong!  I want to come down to C'bus tomorrow night!!!  8)

At least then, I wouldn't have to worry about Cap screwing us over with their lack of a live feed...

Final:  Wooster 79  Gettysburg 66 

Wooster advances to the 2nd round with a nice win over the Bullets!

Scots were led tonight by Nathan Balch with 21 points (14 in the 2nd half) and 7 boards.  Ian Franks had 18 points, Bryan Wickliffe added 14 points and Justin Hallowell also with 14 points.  It was great to see that Balch is fully recovered from his ankle sprain.

Gettysburg's top scorers were Andrew Powers with 23 points, Dan Capkin with 19 points and Corey Dorsey with 11 points.

Wooster is now 23-6.  Next up is the winner of Capital/Thomas More tomorrow night.

Number 600 career win for Steve Moore?

Nicevilledave - great point!  I am sure Coach Moore likes getting 600 with a NCAA tourney win.

A good win and a gutty performance for the Scots. Congratulations to all the players and Coach Moore on his 600th win!

Interesting to note that Marty Bidwell's first game as a Scot was against Kalamazoo. It was a 84-66 win for Wooster and the 500th coaching win for Coach Moore. So the trivia question is.. ( for which I do not have the answer) ... how many D3 players do you think get to play for a coach who hits two such milestones...

[kiltedbryan]

I can't get the video either....even after reinstalling the latest Quicktime program.

FYI, I can't get a video feed for Capital's game, either.  Very frustrating.  Clearly something not working on their end.

[woosterbooster]

Well, I'm glad the feed for their own game isn't working either.  If, miraculously, if WAS, I'd be even more pissed at them.  Never liked Capital's program, not since they had two goons take potshots at Bryan Nelson years ago.  I hope Wooster beats them by fifty.
