Would it be farfetched or just my wishful thinking to conclude that (either) James Cooper and (or) Devin Fulk could be (or are) as great college basketball shooters as is JJ Redick right now?

[woosterbooster]

Devin Fulk is as good a spot-up (or catch and shoot, take your pick) three-point shooter as I've seen, at any level.  When he gets a decent look, I'm always surprised when he doesn't bury it.

Cooper is, in my opinion, just a small notch behind Fulk as a pure outside shooter, but of course has many more weapons in his offensive game.  The fact that many teams are now so aware of his abilities and either try to deny him the ball or double-team him (or both) has helped the Scots other shooters to become free.

I'm about 90% sure if Earlham wins out for the rest of the Season they will Host the NCAC Tourney Game as long as Wabash does not beat both Witt!!  After tough breaks the last two games they still control their own destiny.  *as long as Wabash doesn't beat Witt... LET's GO WITT. LET'S GO WITT.  GO WITT GO WITT...


BILLY_P  Let's go WITT.  I might even change my user name to LetsgoWITT.

I think Wooster could give the Pistons a good game.  In a best of seven, I'd take Detroit in seven games, but only because they'd have the home court advantage.  The Scots would make it respectable. 

Seriously...you're drowning in the kool aid right now.

You can't even compare Fulk and Coop to Redick.  Redick does more running around while the play is developing than anyone in college basketball today.  He reminds me a lot of Reggie Miller's ability to use screens to get open and hit off-balance treys.  Coop and Fulk are great shooters, don't get me wrong, but they don't compare to Redick at all, which is why they play DIII and J.J. is the creme de la creme of DI.

[woosterbooster]

I wasn't comparing Fulk or Cooper to anyone as "players", only regarding their shooting abilities.  Fulk is a very nice DIII player but could not play DI, he just doesn't have the game.  Cooper, I think, could play mid-level DI, although he'd have to improve his defense to get much playing time.

But I still say, just as an outside shooter when he has a good look, that Devin Fulk isn't far behind anyone and Cooper isn't that far behind him.

i love it how someone on this board actual cheers for witt besides the 2-3 witt fans on here.

lzboogz or whatever ur name is-if hiram has the potential to upset teams dont they need a more hostile environment than 176 people-come on thats nearing the womens games-ba dum ching

[earlhamalum]

pennstghs-  I only have one reason and one reason only to be a Witt. Fan right now... and it will be short lived.    But Earlham needs to take care of business First of all at Denison. 

[smedindy]

Earlhamalum -

I don't think so. I think it's based on the rankings of the teams you lost to, so Wabash would win that tiebreaker. At least, that's how I remember it a few years ago. The NCAC may have changed its mind.

Holy COW

Does anybody realize how much more difficult it is to get a 3 point shot off at the D1 level vs D3.?

Kool Aid.........some have gone straight for the bottle of Scotch.

Are you referring to me?

[sac]

Actually I don't know.........I just saw the comment of two Wooster's playing being on par with Reddick in 3 point shooting.

Its just a whole nother level at D1

[smedindy]

I'm sure the best D-3 shooters could compete at some level in D-1. Heck, Bobby Riddell is playing minutes at Purdue (well, mostly out of desparation as the #9 player ).

However, even if you're playing in the Southern Conference or Atlantic Sun you have stronger and faster players on the entire roster than most of D-3 (save for walk ons and projects).

Dregs of D-1, yeah, sure, but for the top 300 teams or so probably there's no way they could help much more than a 3-point shooter you put in when you're down 12 with a minute to go and hope that miracles happen, if that.

[WoosterBNel]

Comparing Cooper and Fulk to Redick is one of the funniest things I have heard for a while. What are  these Wooster fans going to come up with next.......
-Is Cooper a lottery pick?
-Can Vandervart guard Shaq?
-Could Port be in the NBA dunk contest?

NO........

ps. Witt is coming off at a 7.5 point favorite at Wabash

[earlhamalum]

Smedindy-  Actually i'm about 99% sure if both teams are split with the head-up.  It goes to who beat the Highest Seed in the NCAC.  Earlham's Win against OWU would allow them to Host.  If Wabash Beats Wittenberg on Wed. and for some odd reason lose to Kenyon and Earlham Wins out... Wabash would host assuming Witt. Finishes 2nd.  So Wabash could host for sure if they win on Wed. and Earlham will host if they beat Denison and Oberlin.
