MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[CollegeGolf18]

Thought I would just throw this on here:

Wabash should be solid again this season.

Returning starters:
G: Jack Davidson, JR., 25.1 PPG - 26 GS
G: Connor Rotterman, JR. 7.3 PPG - 15 GS (stopped starting at midyear)
G: Tyler Watson, So. 9.4 PPG - 11 GS (started to start at midyear)
F: Alex Eberhard, Sr. 6.7 PPG - 27 GS
F: Harry Hallstrom, Sr. 12.6 PPG - 26 GS
W: Kellen Schrieber, So. 8.9 PPG - 5 GS (started in place of injuries)

Wabash averaged 86.2 points a game last year and only lose 8.7 PPG to graduation/transfers.
Senior wing Ben Stachowski started 24 games and scored 3.8 points a game
Senior post Logan White played in 26 games scoring 2.1 a game
Sophomore Conner Brens played in 25 games scoring 1.9 a game (not playing)
Freshman Niah Williamson played in 4 games scoring 0.8 a game (transfer, I believe for football)

The starting 5 will likely be

PG: Jack Davidson - JR
SG: Tyler Watson - SO
SF: Kellen Schreiber - SO
PF: Alex Eberhard - SR
C: Harry Hallstrom - SR

First couple guys off the bench will likely be (freshmen below could change it): Connor Rotterman - JR, Jayden Edwards - SO, Colten Garland - SR, Jack Hegwood - SO
Players who can easily come off the bench but not likely in the top 9 are: Matt Chinn - JR, Parker Manges - SR

All of the above is based off of last year.

HOWEVER

Wabash has a very, very good freshman class and I would not be surprised in the least to see these first two freshmen play minutes. They all were highly sought after among various levels.

Justin Hensley - 6'4 G
Ahmoni Jones - 6'4 G/W
Reis Thomas - 6'3 W/F (football player so he'll be working his way in)
Cam Chadd - 6'2 G (transfer in, sophomore)

They also have as incoming freshmen who likely won't play a ton:

Jeremy Norvell - 5'10 G
Ty Bever - 5'11 G
Nate Butts - 5'9 G
Tristan Bufkin - 6'5 F
Trey Waddups - 6'1 G (I believe is a sophomore who didn't play last season)

This is going to be a team that plays very fast as they only have one true post player. They have a ton of guys who can slide down and play the five, however. Going to be a great year in Crawfordsville.

I miss anything here over the last......several years? Besides Wabash getting good enough to be ranked in the preseason poll?

The preseason NCAC coaches poll has been released.

A small recap of the Wabash/Illinois Wesleyan scrimmage:

I was told both of the following scores - 90-90 and 90-89 in favor of Wabash (who cares anyhow)

Harry Hallstrom scored 24
Tyler Watson scored 24
Kellen Schrieber scored 18
Ahmoni Jones scored 16

Jack Davidson got hurt 12 minutes in after scoring 5 points.


That's all I've got.

I'm sure TitanQ will have more.

It wasn't Wabash vs. Wheaton. It was Wabash vs. Illinois Wesleyan.

This is Olympic level lede-burying.

That was intentional, too.

It wasn't Wabash vs. Wheaton. It was Wabash vs. Illinois Wesleyan.

Good call. I had Wheaton on my mind for some reason.

"The Titanic's orchestra entertained passengers and officers this evening in a gala event in the ship's main ballroom. Following a dinner of prime rib and lobster Newburg, all in attendance were treated to splendid renditions of traditional Strauss waltzes and an array of orchestral adaptations of various European folk dances. Titanic Captain Edward Smith was heard to remark that it was the most magnificent musical performance that he had ever heard in his eight years as commodore of the White Star Line."

"In other news, at 11:40 pm ship's time the Titanic struck an iceberg. The ship sank at 2:20 am, and of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard over 1,500 are feared lost."

I was a stringer for newspapers for six years. I am surprised and happy that you guys caught that. LOL

Davidson injured.  Anyone know how badly?

Davidson injured.  Anyone know how badly?

He should be good for the Centre game, not playing in Wednesday's scrimmage though. Neither is Eberhard.

If you're gonna have injuries, have 'em now.

The CWU women has a 14 player roster. In our exhibition against Whitworth, we dressed 8 due to ankle sprains, bad backs, and a concussion. One of the 8 was on a minutes limit due to an ankle problem. If it was a regular season game I think 12 would have dressed out.

Our men beat Idaho in an exhibition. We have a roster of 15, but dressed out 10 due to various injuries as well (broken finger, ankle issues, a minor knee injury, and 'off court shenanigans').

Here's to healthy regular seasons!

[CollegeGolf18]

Hiram plays Kent State tonight. Will be interested to see how they do -- they return all but one player from a decent but inconsistent team last year. I think Antonio McQueen is set for a huge year.
