MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[sac]

From Geneva's schedule it looks like Wooster's late December tournament (a classic format) will be....

Dec 28.

Geneva vs John Carroll
Marietta vs Wooster

Dec 29.

Geneva vs Marietta
John Carroll vs Wooster

Wooster beat Geneva by 52 last year and things look pretty bleak for Geneva next season.  3 out 4 make this an interesting get together though, but JCU and Marietta both had big graduating Sr. classes.

I'm not a huge fan of four team 'classics' that only have two games. If you call it a classic, shouldn't it be round-robin? Just my nickel, keep the change.

Of course, I prefer 8-team shootouts with winners and losers brackets, but I know selling the sizzle of a 7th place game isn't exactly, well, inspiring.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The classic has two advantages... you are playing just two games in two days... instead of potentially three in three. You also avoid conference opponents if you are stuck. You can also set-up games if any coaches are looking to play or avoid another team. You can also at least set-up who everyone is playing for scheduling.

The disadvantage to the 8-team shootout is the number of games in a span of a number of days and such. I can tell you that was the challenge with the Pride of Maryland... not easy to have three games in three days (though, they spread it out to play the first games Tuesday or Wednesday and finished with 8 games a day on the weekend). While having winners and losers of a "tournament" is a nice advantage and cool to "say" someone one the tournament... sometimes the logistics and scheduling are more complicated.

Wooster commit from Cincinnati is Zach McCorkle a 6'6" 220# wing from Winton Woods High School.  He averaged about 12 points and 7 rebounds for a team that played an aggressive up tempo style.  Nice athletic addition for the Scots and he continues a line of Cincinnati area players (Josh Claytor, Scott Purcell, Jalen Goodwin and Zach Baker) who have found their way to Wooster in the past few years.

Another tough schedule for the Bishops.  ohio wes. assistant Mark Bollinger was named head coach at Piedmont College.  (Piedmontlions.com) Mike DeWitt continues to have assistants move on to be head coaches.  Any other staff changes or recruiting news in the NCAC?

*One highlighted game, Oberlin at Yale Jan. 12.

[WAlum]

Thanks sac!  Oberlin at Yale.  I like it!

Wabash has a really good non-conference schedule.

Allegheny looks like it wants some non-league W's!!!  Some very winnable games in there!

Hiram should have some early success as well.

Oberlin could be 2-1 after the first 3 games!  Great scheduling by the Yeo!

[David Collinge]

Oberlin last played at Yale in January 2008 (can it really be that long ago?!), losing 92-41. Oberlin head coach Isaiah Cavaco is an Eli.

Thanks for noticing the team pages! We are in the middle of a long project to surface these pages and make them visible for the first time since moving to the Presto platform.

We have finished most of the men's pages (should be all of them, so please flag me if you find something missing) and are in progress on the women's pages.

Pat, when I click on the links to Wooster, from the Oberlin page, I get a "page not found" message.

Thanks. Taken care of.

Wooster's schedule would have been posted over a month ago, but they've been waiting for a certain Div. I team (which begins with the letter "W" and played in the NIT last year) to announce their Exhibition game with the Scots. Hard to believe that a Div. I program hasn't announced their schedule yet.

Among the non-conference games for Wooster include B-W, Ohio Northern, John Carroll, Marietta, Mt. St. Joseph, Transylvania, and two of these three teams -- Adrian, Carnegie Mellon and Otterbein.
