MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[kiltedbryan]

An impressive note from the Wittenberg-BSC write up: Bill Brown's teams are a perfect 8-0 in NCAA first round action, and have advanced to the second round all 12 times they've made the tournament (including 4 times they had a first round bye).

I'm still bummed that OWU didn't make it a perfect 3-0 for NCAC teams yesterday, but good luck to both the Tigers and the Scots tonight!

I noted on the map that St. Louis (Wash U.) and Wooster are over 500 miles apart, so if Hope goes down tonight but the other "seeds" advance, my guess is that Witt would be hosting the regional, based primarily on geography.  If Hope wins, I would certainly expect the regional to be up in Holland.

The perfect first round performance by Wittenberg is very impressive. I looked in the media guide to see what Wooster has done under Steve Moore. Unfortunately I cannot tell if they received a first round bye (back when there were 48 teams in the tournament is certainly was more common). What I can tell is that in first game performances Wooster is 13-7 (including last night). Overall Coach Moore's Scots are now 25-20 in the NCAA tournament (18-5 @ home, 1-10 @ away, 6-5 @ neutral).

What is the probability of North Central, Wittenberg, Illinois Wesleyan and Wooster being the teams left in the sectional?  That scenario would likely have Wooster hosting and it would be a NCAC - CCIW showdown!

The last 10 years in the NCAA tourney (including this year), Wooster is now 21-10 and they have been to the Final 4 three times during that span!

Where were the Wooster fans during the season???

I guess this is technically accurate if you are talking strictly "First Round" of the tournament. But if you are talking the first game, which is really what is at issue here, Witt has lost twice in its first game of the NCAA Tournament, both times to John Carroll (2004 & 2005). Witt had byes in the first round both of those years. Which should be an advantage.

Since 2009, Steve Moore is 11-2 in their first game of the tournament (8-1 in the "First Round), with their only losses coming to Carthage in 2001 (who went onto the Final Four) and Washington U. in 2008, which went on to win the national title.

Wooster is really, really failing on video this weekend.

Yesterday's was terrible and tonight their doesn't appear to be anything at all. Thankfully Breckenridge is excellent on the radio call on WQKT.

This is really, really disappointing.

Wittenberg up 48-30 at halftime. Those who know Witt know for them to have 48 points at halftime is ridiculous, but when you are shooting 9-17 from 3 point range its understandable.

It's more than disappointing, it's really pissed me off.  The fact that there is video is why I chose not to attend the game.  Clear Picture is going to get a huge piece of my mind on Monday.  How can they screw this up so often?  If you can do it once, you should be able do it every damned time.  I'm continually amazed at the incompetence of businesses in small towns.

Granville's a small town and they don't seem to have any problems.

By the way, looks like Witt is pounding Carroll 48-30 right now according to live stats.

I'm not sure the connections in Timken have ever been all that good--and I don't think they did any upgrades to them while building the Scot Center addition, unfortunately. Not sure what you need to be able to get a good stream, but no idea if the bandwidth is really there.

Still, terribly disappointing.

Hope leads IWU 38-36 at the half.

As consumers, it's not really our responsibility to identify whose fault this video FUBAR is. From our standpoint, it's CPI's product, so complaining to them is completely justifiable. It couldn't hurt to complain to the Dept. of Athletics (not Sports Information, mind you) and/or the college administration too; as has been pointed out by Seinfeld, they are big-time foot-draggers in the world of technology.

Also too bad there's no video right now just because this sounds fun!
