OWU gets by Denison to remain undefeated. The score 76-74.

Watching Wooster play at DePauw, and listening to these biased announcers, is like watching Hickory get screwed by home-town refs in Hoosiers.  It's total garbage.  They continually complain about every foul committed by DePauw, yet Wooster has been called for nearly 30 fouls to this point.  Total garbage.  No wonder Wooster can't win in Indiana.

Final:  Wooster 76  DePauw 63 

Wooster notches a win in Indiana!   Scots were led by Dan Fanelly with 17 points, Josh Kipfer with 13, Xavier Brown with 13, Alex LaLonde with 11 points, 8 boards and Jalen Goodwin also with 11.

Scots won this game by:
Shooting 51% from the floor while holding DePauw to only 35%
Outrebounding the Tigers 32 to 29
Getting to the Free Throw line for 25 points and making 83% of FT shots

Wooster is now 4-2, 1-1 NCAC.  Next game is Wabash at home on 12/13

GO SCOTS!

I caught the last 8 minutes or so of Wooster/DePauw on my drive home from work today. Owing, presumably, to Wooster Radio's commitment to broadcast all of the OHSAA football championship games, they had no crew to send to Greencastle, but WKVX thoughtfully picked up the WGRE broadcast. The DPU student broadcasters, if that is what they were, did a credible job. They knew the Wooster players from one another, and pronounced their names correctly (even LaLonde, which is somewhat counter-intuitive), stayed reasonably impartial and kept us up on the action (score, time, etc.) It was fairly clear that they were frustrated with the officiating and disappointed in the result, but like pros they swallowed their angst and soldiered on. Also to their credit, they discussed both teams and both coaches fairly equally, and did not just natter on about their home team, which is not only professional but suggests that they did some research and/or were familiar with Wooster. All around good job to WGRE!

Kudos to them, I suppose, for getting the names right.  But isn't that something that's very near the top of the list on things that you're expected to do?  As far as being balanced, I wish you had been able to listen to the whole broadcast.  The color guy was constantly complaining about the officiating.  Bad foul and/or turnover calls against DePauw.  Missed fouls and turnovers against Wooster.  This happened at least fifteen times, and many times he went on and on with lengthy rants.

The Wooster players were beside themselves, unable to figure out how to find a place to stand on the court and not be called for a foul.  It was homer-ball from the get-go, both down on the court and at the mic.

Absolutely - but an amazing number of announcers don't realize that!  All it takes is talking to a visiting team asst. coach (or other staff member) and going down the roster name by name - and be careful about skipping over the 'obvious' pronunciations: sometimes there turns out to be a 'family surprise'!

[sigma one]

Homer-ball.  Right, the Indiana bias, and despite the crookedness the Scots prevail.  What more could you ask for?

[Schwami]

Yeah, let's see --- personal fouls: DePauw 25, Wooster 24.  What a home job.

Precisely. It appears to me, in fact, that somewhere close to half (at least) of D3 PBP announcers don't check pronunciations -- and that's not just true of student announcers, either.

[smedindy]

Shocked, shocked I am about the complaints regarding fouls and announcers...

Time to take notice of Denison, off to a 5-2/1-1 start. Their two losses were at 7-0 OWU by 2 yesterday, and a head-scratcher to Bethany (4-3) at the U. of Chicago. They beat St. Vincent (5-3), who did beat Mt. Union (as well as Bethany, by 18) after being humiliated by Wooster, and of course they also have a win over DePauw (4-2). They are also responsible for CWRU's only loss in a 6-1 start. Things are fairly easy for the Big Red for the rest of the semester, with conference games at Oberlin and Witt and holiday dates vs. Berry (3-5) and winless Earlham before hosting the Scots on Jan. 3. They're shooting 46% from the field, while holding opponents to 41%, and their fairly woeful shooting from the arc (29%) and stripe (67%) has not hurt them thus far. They are averaging an outstanding 15 assists on 27 field goals per game, led by sophomore David Meurer at 5.3, who is also the leading scorer (16.6) and stealer (1.9). They outrebound their opponents by 7 1/2 (40.4-33.0) (Woolard brothers average 12.0 between them) and are the recipients of even-handed officiating (17.7 PF/G vs. 17.9), but of course they have yet to play a game in Indiana.  They appear to go 9 deep with Meurer and sophomore wing Matthew Bauer the only underclassmen in the rotation. Interesting to see how they do against resurgent Oberlin Wednesday and versus a wounded Tiger team in Springfield on Saturday.
