Typo; fixed.

Well the marietta games appear to be sold out already. I better check tomorrow with wooster too make sure tickets are available for those games. Thanks for the tips, it would be great to see the pipers again just like last week. Too bad the pipers can't come down off the hill for the football games anymore. Coming in through the stadium just doesn't have the same effect.

They'll be back coming down the hill again once the construction is done and the trailers are gone (I'm pretty sure that's the plan). It will be a more narrow space, but I'd be shocked if they don't at least march down the hill (they might not be able to line the hill like they have in the past).

As someone that has personally led the Scot Band on this march down the hill, my understanding has been that they will re-instate the practice.

It really should be fine from the band's perspective—we always actually marched down the hill in a narrow line, really expanding out across the practice field only when hitting the bottom of the hill, and I think most of that space will still be there, though I'm not sure what the final site will be like.

The football team won't have as much space to "line the hill" but I'm sure they'll figure something out.

As far as I know, Wooster wasn't selling pre-sale tix:

Ticket Information: As determined by the NCAA, ticket prices for this weekend's first- and second-round action are $6 for adults and $3 for senior citizens, students, and children (under two are free). College of Wooster students, however, can be part of the excitement for free, courtesy of an underwriting by the president's office. Students must present their College ID to receive a ticket.

There will be no advanced ticket sales and the gates first open at 4 p.m. Friday. Also of note, artificial noisemakers are prohibited, and Wooster is calling for a "Gold Rush" on Friday night, encouraging fans to wear gold in support of the Scots.

I actually heard that you can get tickets as early as 3:30 in case you wanted to beat the rush.

But the big question is if we can't make it to Wooster will we be able to "see" via a computer........

Now, anyone have any insight on Laroche, Witts opponent?

Good question?
Maybe the college president should be putting $$$$$ toward updating Woo's video feed versus paying for student to see the game. I have no problem with defraying the  cost of student tickets but, don't tell me the college can't afford to upgrade the video system. Step into the 21st century.

You know, usually adding that technology is part of an overall upgrade in the network infrastructure. And yes, it would be nice, but it has to fit into the College's strategic plans and needs.

Most all colleges and universities have cut back on many things that don't directly affect students, or are 'nice to have' instead of vital needs. I don't know Wooster's priorities, but if it's like many places it's about the classroom first.

Betsy Mitchell is out as Allegheny AD.  One year too late for Rob Clune.

[pennstghs]

Wittenberg up at the half 42-26. Looking good and rebounding well from last Saturday's loss.

Big half by Micheal Cooper with 14 points and 6 rebounds, Sullivan has 0 points and Wittenberg is holding their own down low big time with big time hustle. Lots of wild shots forced for Laroche and bad shots overall

[jimmychitwood15]

Witt pulls out the win 74-68.

LaRoche fought back from being down as much as 22 early in the 2nd half.

Huge night from Michael Cooper with 23 pts & 10 rebs. Clayton Black was big with 22 pts. Brandt also added 12pts & 12 rebs. Sullivan held scoreless on 0-5 from downtown. Let's hope he returns to form tomorrow night!

Great win for the Tigers!!

Following close to five years as the Director of Athletics, Betsy Mitchell has decided to pursue other professional opportunities and personal interests.

Marietta has a nice lead over Centre at the half, halfway to an enticing Witt/Marietta 2nd round game.

Congratulations to Wooster and Wittenberg on the wins last night.

Wooster held off an athletic, skilled and balanced Benedictine team that refused to go away. Benedictine put five players in double figures.

A tough night for some of the Scots, especially Nathan Balch, who fouled out  was called for a mythical travel late in the game, and only contributed 4 points. (FWIW, Balch hadn't fouled out this year, and only had 4 fouls called on him once in 28 games before last night.)

Game ball goes to Justin Hallowell, who had 19 pts on 4-8 shooting from the outside and a critical 5-5 from the line. He would've had an even better night if he hadn't gone 1-7 from 2pt land. I was also impressed with the minutes provided by freshman guards Snyder and Thorpe in helping fill the gap while Balch was on the bench in the first half.

Good luck to both NCAC squads tonight.  Let's Go Scot!!

...and 15 rebounds!

Good luck to both W's tonight, both have very tough games on tap.

What's everyone's take on tonight's Wooster game?   Why so little talk about it on the board?
