MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[David Collinge]

Great article about OWU's hearing-impaired starter, Greg White, in the Columbus Dispatch this weekend.

[ScotsFan]

IWU is #20 and they also lost, but given the pollsters apparent love for the Titans/CCIW, they will probably move up in the polls after their narrow loss to #3 Augie... 

Kind of like how Witt moved up in the polls (from 1 point to 24) after their narrow loss to #1 Wooster.

Except Witt wasn't already overrated by about 20 slots.

This and the fact that Witt also had a win over the then #7 team in the land that week to go along with their narrow loss at Wooster. 

And just for the record, my comment was tongue in cheek which is why I put the emoticon. 

[David Collinge]

You were right, ScotsFan, Wittenberg is the new #25 in the poll.  They still trail IWU, though.  Witt's debut means that 12% of the top 25 men's teams are NCAC members. 

[Ryder16]

12% .... interesting way of wording it. haha. i would say three of the W's crack the top 25. but you say tomato i say...  well, something similar

[pennstghs]

Congrats to Witt for cracking the Top 25, looks like they're finally coming to fruition of the team they knew they could be once they got everyone somewhat healthy and on the same page.

Dangerous game tomorrow night vs Kenyon, need to keep it rolling

[David Collinge]

Hiram, Denison, and Wittenberg are all closed today.  Doesn't bode too well for tomorrow's schedule:

Oberlin at Allegheny, 6pm -- live stats -- Game 1 of a M/W doubleheader -- the drive is right through the Snowbelt
Wabash at Denison, ~8pm -- video and live stats -- Game 2 of a doubleheader, women vs. OWU at 6 -- sounds like I-70 may be a mess, though
Wooster at Hiram, ~8pm -- live stats; audio (W) -- Game 2 of a W/M doubleheader -- ever seen Price Gymnasium's parking lot after a big snow?  Neither has anyone else
Kenyon at Wittenberg, ~8pm -- audio, video, and live stats -- Game 2 of a W/M doubleheader -- Witt is closed, and Gambier is impossible to get out of in a big snow
OWU is idle -- and maybe not alone

[David Collinge]

Oh by the way, it's sunny and about 50 here, with a forecast high of 58.  So please, don't worry about me!

[David Collinge]

Good article in today's Columbus Dispatch about Denison's undefeated and 14th ranked women's team.  It also has a tag ending about OWU's men and their winning streak, featuring this classic observation:

Today, the Bishops are 12-8 and third in the North Coast Athletic Conference at 8-3, trailing only Wooster, a national power, and Wittenberg.

(emphasis added)

First casualty is in:  Wabash at Denison has been postponed until Thursday at 7:30, and pessimism reigns even for that date.  A make-up date for that make-up date has already been penciled in for next Monday.

Hmmmm....Shanghai, China and Cancun, Mexico all in the span of 4 months! 

Perhaps, your new handle should be "Derek World Traveler"!    Is my jealousy showing?

When do the first regional rankings come out?

When do the first regional rankings come out?

Supposedly at least, late tomorrow afternoon.
