MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[woosterbooster]

IWU by 3 with 10 to go!

[David Collinge]

Wittenberg looks like a winner, leading by 17 with less than a minute left. We could be looking at a sectional with Wittenberg, Wooster, and Illinois Wesleyan, the top three winningest programs all-time in D3. Cool. And it would likely be at Wittenberg.

Update: Wittenberg shoots 54% and wins 87-70 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. Tiger Up!

[David Collinge]

Wooster also advances, 92-79. Go Scots!

Unfortunately, our 4th NCAA participant is out, as the DePauw women are upset on their home court by Carthage, 53-48.

Hope and IWU tied going into the final minute of regulation. NCAC refs.

Update: Going to OT in Holland.

Overtime.  I thought I recognized one of those zebras.  Hopefully they won't be able to find their way home.

[David Collinge]

Oh yeah, NCAC refs, who just blew a shot clock violation and gifted Hope two points.

[David Collinge]

Going to double overtime.
In the fourth pod in this bracket, North Central leads Wash U. at the half, 36-28.

[woosterbooster]

Yeah, I recognize two of them now, the white guys.  Both absolutely lousy.  Does Wooster have any chance of hosting if IWU pulls this out in two or more overtimes?

[David Collinge]

Any chance? Sure, especially (I guess) if NCC is the 4th participant. But I look for it to be at Witt.

[David Collinge]

And that's it! IWU wins 108-101 and advances to face the Scots somewhere in Ohio next weekend.

I vote for either Washington Court House or Chillicothe!

North Central by three with under a minute.  And after watching these two games, I really appreciate Mike Breckenridge.

Wooster may have the worst video feed but our announcer is pretty amazing compared to Hope and Washington announcers.. man oh man these guys are painful to listen to!

Nice dominant win for the Scots tonight!

Sweet 16 bound!

The Hope announcers were obvious amateurs, probably students.  The girl doing color was actually much more tuned in to what was going on; she knew when guys fouled out, mentioned subs, understood some strategy. At least, though, while they were certainly rooting for Hope, they kept it under wrap.  They commended good plays by IWU and didn't complain about bad calls.  Those clowns from Washington were a totally different story.  I only watched the last five or six minutes, but they complained, continually, about everything that happened on the court.  And they weren't kids.  I expected more out of Washington U.

Of course, the two guys that do the video of Wooster's game, who couldn't even get their game on the air tonight, are no better.  They not only have scant knowledge of the game, and this after years and years of covering the Scots, but they complain all the time as well.

Breckenridge is a pro.  He could step in tomorrow and do an NBA game better than most.

Yeah! Go radio! I was squirming just listening to them. They also didn't know a thing about our side of the bracket...

Obviously would love to host next weekend, but Witt should get it, right?
