MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

Hard to believe that was Wooster's 10th win in a row over the Battling Bishops.  I would never have guessed that Wooster's streak was that big over OWU.

That's not the game I saw said the unbiased viewer. I did see the NCAC refs call way too many fouls, but I don't have a dog in the hunt. Both sides benefited and were cursed by the refs. So go easy on the hypotheticals.

Oh, and if Wooster's starting five had a spleenectomy before the game, OWU would win easily....

I pulled up the video for the last 10 minutes.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing, with whistles on every single possession - at least that is what it seemed like.  Honestly, in the time I was watching, I don't remember that many possessions where a foul was not called.  It was just hard to watch.

I only saw those 10 minutes, but there didn't seem to be any bias at all.  It was just bad both way, with any type of contact called a foul.

Well, it seemed to me that very often the Wooster guys had early position and were bumped or shoved by the offensive guy making a move.  Invariably, the foul was called on the stationary Wooster player.  At the other end, my enduring vision is of Thorpe driving, pump-faking, and having the defender fly into him.  Fouls called on the defense at both ends, but usually not at all the same.

Best team, worst video.  Embarrassing.  I can't even make it through a half anymore without it screwing up so badly that it's either totally offline or unwatchable.

You're right. Easily ten times worse than Hope's video.

Out of pocket today with work at a client site both during hours and after hours. Fun....

Thanks for updates!

It's obvious that the real race will be for 3rd through 8th. The muddled middle.

You want to be 3rd through 6th because you avoid Wooster and OWU in the first round and I don't think anyone has real fear and loathing of playing at any of the contenders for the 3rd through 6th spot. Yet, you want to be in 7th or 8th because at least you get a game - you get that chance to make history.

The Daily Record reports today that the NCAA has ruled that Wooster's victory over Sheridan (Can.) on Jan. 4 *will* be counted as an official game. No link since TDR is a subscription-only service. Wooster's official record moves to 16-2 with Tuesday's decision.
