MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

FF -

Is there any chance that sometime in the future you might utilize your talents and do for DIII basketball what you now do for Ohio high school football?  I'd love to see that.  Maybe a combined effort involving you and d3hoops, since they already have some of the groundwork in place with the schedules ready to go.

Three more non-cons tonight, and a chance to improve on our 27-20 collective record:

Thiel at Allegheny, 7:30pm -- live stats
Case Western Reserve at Kenyon, 7:30pm -- video, audio, and live stats
Oberlin at Kalamazoo, 7:30pm -- audio and live stats

Don't wait for me to post the results of these games, as I'll be at work until about 3:30am your time.

I thought you had a high-falutin' job, there DC, not one that made you schlep until the wee hours.

NCAC collective record is now 28-22.

Kenyon led their game 45-24 shortly into the second half and then got outscored 34-9 over the last 17 minutes.  You can go ahead and put that coffee down, Kenyon Lords.

Sounds like maybe they should have MORE coffee at halftime.

Kenyon will say that the leads are weak....

Including a #1 vote for Wabash!  Someone is either prescient or highly premature.

For me to carry this reference on any further will require a number of violations of the ToS...so I'll just hit the bricks.

Thanks, wsf.   Next time, though, please give me three victories, not just one. 

Smeds, in this economy, and after 11 years of unemployment, ANY job is high-falutin'.   

[GoRed]

I watched the first half of Kenyon vs. CWRU and turned it off.  Wow!

Congratulations to Wooster.  I think they go undefeated in conference and stay at the top for the rest of the season unless Wabash upsets them in Crawfordsville. 

Wabash should definitely be Top Ten too, but the pollsters apparently don't want to give the NCAC too much credit just yet.  Really, Illinois Wesleyan loses to University of Chicago, a team the Big Red beat, and stays ahead of the Little Giants?  Wabash has beaten some very good teams by wide margins and should be 10th or higher in my book.

The Wabash / OWU game is live video feed from Wabash tonight.

After the passing of Patrick Abegg, I have thought about that, but would have to make some upgrades on my end in the area of data management, with the help of a senior CS student.  While I have access to powerful computational tools, making that part easy, I'm still in the 1990s with how I deal with input and output to/from the ranking algorithm.  Also, trying to predict the behavior of the NCAA selection committee is much more challenging than dealing with the OHSAA's straight-forward selection/seeding procedures.

The last time Wooster was No. 1 was the last week of the 2005-06 regular season. Wooster lost at Ohio Wesleyan in a Saturday afternoon game (http://www.woosterathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2005-06/files/woom0218.htm). Wooster plays at Ohio Wesleyan this Saturday afternoon. Coach Moore would never let them overlook anyone or let rankings get to their head, but they would be wise to pretend they aren't ranked No. 1.
