Does Pat still track new additions to the Thousand Points Club? He was doing it for awhile via a front-page link.

Something very rare could go down in Richmond tomorrow night.  Wabash's Wes Smith (991) and Aaron Brock (992) are very much within range of 1,000 career points and both could reach that milestone in the same game tomorrow evening.  Good luck to Wes and Aaron tomorrow night! 

That's pretty cool to have 2 players from the same team possibly join the club on the same night.  I wonder how rare of an occurance this is?  Good luck to Wes and Aaron in reaching such an accomplishment tomorrow!

Per Brent's article on the Wabash website, Wabash has only had two players reach 1,000 points in the same season twice.  It has never happened in the same game in the 114 years that Wabash has been playing basketball.

Oh, and Pat, if you're reading this, please add George Raftis, Allegheny, 11/29.  I feel like there's one or two others from the NCAC who are missing; I'll give it some further thought.  Thanks.

Congrats to Chris Sullivan and also Katherine Hueter on the women's side for representing Wittenberg as NCAC players of the week. Keep up the good work Witt!

I'm wondering what it's going to take for Witt to get at least  a vote for the Top 25......they have 2 losses....yes one bad one at Hiram and one to 18th ranked Anderson!

A victory next Saturday???

Wow. That's about all I can say at this point.........

Ouch ... that's not something you expect from a fifth-year senior.  Regardless of which team you support, you can't be happy about seeing NCAC kids fail to take care of business in the classroom.

Brown tried to allude in that article to the fact that Witt's depth should help overcome Hill's absense, but you don't have players with Hill's abilities sitting around  on the bench. 

Sullivan is certainly talented, but I'll be interested to see how teams defend him now that his fellow deep threat and scoring leader on the team is no longer on the floor.  Sullivan is by far leading the team from deep with 37 treys, but Hill had 27 and Nowicki is the next in line with 17.  That's a pretty significant drop off now with Hill's absense.  And not only will Witt miss Hill's 15 ppg, they will also miss his team leading 29 minutes/game he contributed. 

All in all, it's just sad to see a career come to an end under such unfortunate circumstances.  Hill gave up a lot to come back for one more year.  Too bad he couldn't stay on top of things to make it through to the end.

Tonight, the alphabetical second five travel to play at the first five.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed that...

OWU (1-3) at Kenyon (0-4), 6pm -- Live Everything (KC) -- Game 1 of a men/women doubleheader
Oberlin (0-4) at Hiram (3-1), 7:30 -- Live Everything (HC)
Wabash (2-2) at Earlham (1-3), 7:30 -- Live stats, (EC) audio, (Wab) audio
Wittenberg (3-1) at Denison (3-1), 7:30pm -- Live stats and (Witt) audio
Wooster (4-0) at Allegheny (3-1), 7:30pm -- Live stats and (Woo) audio

How do you decide to come back and play for a fifth year and then let that happen?  That's just unbelievable. 

Ouch ... that's not something you expect from a fifth-year senior.  Regardless of which team you support, you can't be happy about seeing NCAC kids fail to take care of business in the classroom.

Obviously, nobody wants to see a kid fail academically...but I think the judgement here could be deservedly more harsh than simply shaking one's head and saying "boy, that's unfortunate".  Hill was a senior...a fifth year senior at that.  He's hardly a kid.  He's not new to college life, and he's not new to juggling hoops and books.  You just can't let this happen.  Not in your last year and not in a year when the league is wide open.

OWU 70, Kenyon 63...OWU continues the long climb back into the NCAC race, while Kenyon loses their 8th straight game.
