I was impressed by Wooster tonight, the way there was no folding whatsoever.  The endgame had more suspense than I expected, and the Wooster strategy at end was tight.  It took really excellent free throw shooting and rebounding to bring that game home for Guilford.  Really fine team, Wooster.  Wow, what a comeback.

The first half, Wooster was just snake bit, and Guilford defense was part of the reason;  cold shooting was the other part of the reason. 

I thought that in general Wickliffe did a good job all game of putting his body on Sanborn, but it didn't sufffice.  He is a bit different from what you've seen.

Guilford didn't have a great shooting game, and I think alot of that was Wooster's defense.

Nice fans too, I enjoyed meeting people.

The Allegheny situation is a mess; the female AD (former Olympic swimmer) gave no valid reasons for the firing. People on campus/in community aren't happy, and even after a week, the move hasn't been posted on the school's website. When asked why, the AD gave some garbage about ".....protecting the coach's privacy." Complete BS. Politics at its worst. Like she gives a rat's ass about a guy she just fired for no good reason.

Did the coach work at his job? Yes.
Is he honest? Yes.
Is he competent? Yes.
Are there skeletons in closet that would make this legit? Hell no.
Is the AD out to get certain people? Could be.

If the AD knew anything about team sports, she would know that just about every team has a player or two that doesn't like the coach, even big-time teams. Duke has had kids transfer out, so has just about every school.

Its a sad day when this happens anywhere, but especially in D-III, where sports are supposed to be more fun.

Congratulations to Guilford on advancing to the Elite Eight. I hope they make it to the Final Four as they are a deserving team. Sanborn was as good as advertised, putting up monster numbers (is it proper to say a double score?).
Good question, by the way, but a double-double is the customary way to say it ... and it's been said a lot this year at Guilford, as Tyler Sanborn's had 28 of them in 31 games!

"Double score" was referring, of course, to both totals being over twenty.  While confusing, I thought it a clever invention.  Has Sanborn had any other 'double scores' this year (or ever)?

How about an infamous 'treble score' - 20 pts, 20 rebounds, 20 assists? That ever been done?

Something is fishy somewhere in Meadville.

Denison having an 'extensive national search' for a football coach which led them to their D-coordinator for a defense that gave up 30 or more points in 5 of their 10 games.

What is going on in NCAC land, anyway?

Yes he has.  I call it a double double double.  10 and 10 would be a double double, and this is twice that.

GREAT season for the Scots particularly after the way they started.  Happy for the guys, and boy did Franks solidify himself as one of the finest players in Woo history.  In all truth, he reminds me of another young man who finished his career very well with the Scots by the name of Steve Thompson.  Steve grew and came out of no where to really step up and play well!  What do you guys think?

Great job fellas and this should be an interesting summer for the Scots. 

The EMU- Guilford game will be a dandy

Ah, now I get it.  Didn't Lincoln do that four score and seven years ago?

Pat Coleman

I think Lincoln put up 10 score and it was more like five years ago.

I was out of the country last week, so I'm a bit late to the party, but I want to congratulate the Scots on another fine season.  It was a good year in NCAC play, and looks like it'll be another good year next year, too.

Good luck to Brandon Johnson with his post-Wooster endeavors, and good luck also to Guilford in the final four, as teams that beat Wooster in the tourney have a good track record of going on to win the thing.

Ian Franks continues to pile up the awards this season.

Congratulations to Franks on making 1st Team All-GL Region as well as being named the D3hoops.com Great Lakes Region Player of the Year.  :)  Congrats also goes out to Bryan Wickliffe who joins Franks on the GL All-Region as he made 3rd Team All-GL Region.

Franks joins Tom Port and James Cooper as the third Wooster player to gain Player of the Year honors from the Great Lakes.

Not bad, since d3hoops.com has only been naming a regional POY for 5 years.

David Collinge

Congratulations to Franks and Wickliffe on their achievement; and to Wabash's Wes Smith as well, also named to the D3hoops.com all-GL 3rd team alongside Wickliffe.
