Final:  #4 Christopher Newport 81  Wooster 61

Wooster gave a great effort and cut the lead to 6 points with ~7 minutes left but ran out of energy at that point.

Congratulations to the Scots and Coaches Moore & Cline on a terrific season that exceeded expectations.  It was a great accomplishment for Wooster to reach the Elite Eight!

GO SCOTS!

And just when WoosterBooster thought it couldn't get worse 😂

Congrats to the Scots on another quality season.

Well, the ineptitude of the media crew remained the same.  For the second night in a row it was FANely, Kipner or Kuiper, and tonight, Blaser instead of Balser.  These kids not only don't do any research, but they make things up, and they can't read.

Tonight, the officials decided to join the chorus.  I can't find a boxscore yet, but the live stats say Wooster was called for 26 fouls in the game.  I'll bet they had 14-16 in the first half.  It took them right out of the game.  Neutral court, my ass, that was total garbage.

You could just mute the broadcast.

Well, they did have 12 fouls called in the first half. But I think 8-28 shooting and 2-6 from the line in the first half had WAY WAY WAY more to do with it than any perceived zebra bias.

Sad to report the passing of Frank Knorr yesterday. Frank, a former Director of Development at the College of Wooster, was a great supporter of Scots basketball and logged many miles traveling with the team. Frank was also a long-time lurker on this page who knew of and respected all of the veteran posters here, regardless of affiliation. And he was a great guy, fun to be around. I am sad this day.

To echo David's comment, Frank Knorr was a terrific man and a huge supporter of Wooster Athletics.  Frank was one of the lead organizers of the Wooster Rebounders, the local group of fans, that supports Scots Basketball including trips to some of the road games.  Frank Knorr had lots of energy and enthusiasm so his leadership will be greatly missed.

Matt Croci is tagged as the interim head coach, but surely that's just a formality. I can't imagine a better candidate than the Tiger legend. Best of luck to Matt in his new role.
