MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[David Collinge]

I just got a confirmation (indirectly) from the relevant folks on-site at Allegheny, and the games are still as originally scheduled (with a 15 minute delay).  So the Kenyon/Allegheny men's game is presently set to tip at 1:15pm.

UPDATE: It's now underway, and 'Gheny is out to an early 16-7 lead.  The Lords are once again without JT Knight, who, I am told, may be back in time for the conference tournament, which Kenyon may or may not qualify for.  I should also point out that two contributors from the early going, junior Tim Shadyac and sophomore Jay Findley, no longer appear on the roster.  No wonder the Lords have been struggling of late.

ScotsFan, did you see that 3pm men's tip time anywhere besides the Kenyon website?  Thanks.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.  I was digging out from the storm and playing with my girls and my 2 labs in this winter wonderland.    

Anywho, I see it's all moot now as the game has already started. 

Now I'm off to make some hot cocoa.

upset special-  WAF-  Wabash over Wooster- and the Colts win the Super Bowl. Good day for Wabash fans

Oh yeah?  Well my upset special this week just happens to be Hiram over Witt...         

Although, seeing how the pups already beat Witt would that be all that much of an upset?

Ah, snow.  I remember snow.  I still see some from time to time on top of the mountains.  Nasty stuff; I don't miss it. 

Halftime in Meadville: Allegheny 30, Kenyon 15.  AC's Henry Heeter trails the entire Kenyon team by just one point.  KC's made just five baskets (three by Knapke) and committed 10 turnovers.  Ugh.

What in tarnation is going on in Gambier?

Good question?!  Such promise heading into this season has turned about as ugly as it can get.  So, Knight has been benched by Croci basically for the remainder of the regular season and now 2 others have jumped ship?  Sounds like Croci's got a bit of a mess on his hands to say the least down there in Gambier???     

[David Collinge]

It's a final: Allegheny 68, Kenyon 53.  Kenyon played most of the second half down 8-10, it was only in the final minute that the lead got back out to 15.  The two teams' stars had star-like performances: Big George had 15 rebounds to go along with 12 points, while Big Dave had 19 points and 11 boards.

I don't know what the story is at Kenyon -- and really, it's none of my business -- but I don't believe that Shadyac and Findley left subsequent to Knight's benching.  I think whatever happened involved all three players.

ScotsFan, if Hiram were to beat Wittenberg today, I don't think it'd be much of an upset considering they're both tied for 3rd in the conference.

Go WITT

[David Collinge]

In the battle for 8th place, Oberlin is giving a Kenyon-like performance today.  They trail OWU at the half 33-16.  It's looking more and more like Wooster is going to get what amounts to a "bye" in the quarterfinals.

UPDATE: OWU led by as many as 31 points before bringing in the dance team to finish off the 69-54 victory.

Hence my questioning whether it would be all that much of an upset?

Big win for Wittenberg tonight over Hiram despite some cold outside shooting by Wittenberg as they shot 5-23 from 3 point land. As they stated on the post game show, Wittenberg controls their own destiny to some extent on gaining the two seed.

As much as it pains me to say this.........for Wittenberg's sake, Wooster needs to win tomorrow vs Wabash and against Hiram next week to help out Witt!

Come on now penn, you know you're a closet Wooster fan.    

[zander]

OK- twist my arm... Go Scots!!   

And Colts by 7

[ScotsFan]

OK- twist my arm... Go Scots!!   

That's the spirit!     

[pennstghs]

To make myself feel better, I'm not rooting for a Wooster win today. Moreover, I'm rooting for a Wabash loss and then a Hiram loss later this week. It's irrelevant how that happens!!!
