MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[kiltedbryan]

Is anyone besides me unable to access the Wooster audio broadcast?  I haven't been able to get it for at least the past few games, and I wonder if it's my HP POSvilion.

Tonight the broadcast has been a bit choppy, but it generally works for me. I'm on a mac, though, so may not be relevant for you on a Windows machine.

I can't get anything to work right.  And this was supposed to be a super-duper multimedia pc.  It's live stats for me!

Elsewhere at the half:
Wittenberg 32, Denison 27
Wabash 38, Kenyon 25

Wabash and witt win ... what about Woo/gheny?

Wabash and witt win ... what about Woo/gheny?

60-57 Wooster with 15 seconds left. Allegheny has the ball.  Wooster came back from being down 9.

Gheny misses the three attempt. Wooster's Balch is fouled on his rebound.

Balch sinks them both to seal the win.

62-57 Wooster, final.

Wooster and Pool C fans across the country breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Final:  Wooster 62  Allegheny 57

Whew!  Wooster plays a terrible 2nd half (only 30% shooting) and escapes with a narrow win.  Scots will host on Friday/Saturday

Wooster's Top Scorers:  Bryan Wickliffe 15, Ian Franks 13, Nathan Balch 10, Justin Hallowell 8

Allegheny's Top Scorers:  Devone McLeod 21, D'Andre Corbin 14, James Ness 11

Wooster is now 24-2.  Scots will need to play much better vs. Ohio Wesleyan on Friday night.

looks like the seeds all won.  So either Wabash or witt will lose Fri.  What does that do to the loser's chances for the NCAA tourn?

My take is that (due to Hiram) the loser is staying home.  And the winner is only on the high side of the bubble unless they win the AQ.

Witt has to win, Wabash is still in decent shape but losing in the semi's is never a good thing for Pool C's.

Allegheny outscored Wooster by 26 for about 20 minutes of the game.......down 17 to up 9.

Then scored 1 point in the final 6 1/2 minutes.

Wooster is really limping to the finish.   

All the final scores:
#1 Wooster 62, #8 Allegheny 57
#2 Wittenberg 77, #7 Denison 63
#3 Wabash 72, #6 Kenyon 61
#4 OWU 100, #5 Hiram 85

[smedindy]

I should have taken Gheny and the points!

The Wabash / Witt game is elimination for Pool C. Holy implications, Batman!

No kidding.  How many more rabbits can they have in their hat?

Kenyon senior Kodey Haddox, whose on-again off-again collegiate career began with an NCAC Newcomer of the Year award and will end with NCAC All-Conference accolades, today was named an Academic All-American by CoSIDA.  Haddox averaged 17.5 ppg on the court and 3.65 gpa in the classroom as an economics major.  Congratulations, Kodey!

Kodey was awesome tonight. Dropped 32 on Wabash and there wasn't much the LGs could do about it. Fine way to end a solid career.

BTW, thanks to some carnage in the NJAC, a pool C may have just been taken. Ramapo and Kean were both beaten and that may have taken a "C" that an NCAC team could have used.
