MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[jscwittfan]

Wooster over Kenyon by 37
Witt over Denison by 26
OWU over Allegheny by 9
Wabash over Earlham by 4

I won't be at any of the games, as I'll be in Springfield, working the women's tourney . . .

Which leads me to this question - any video broadcast of the men's final being talked about anywhere?

Wooster by 42
Witt by 18
OWU by 14
Wabash by 11

I figured I'm so bad at picking that I'll be Right by being Wrong!  It is Official I'll be in the lovely city of Crawfordsville tomorrow evening with Brady Keaton!  If Earlham can get the win tomorrow then i'll be off to Wooster on Friday.  I have never been to a Wooster/Wittenberg game and I'm hoping that Earlham will pull off the Upset tomorrow night so I'll be in the lovely confines of Timken Gym on Friday and Saturday!  God I love this game!

By the way, I'm taking a break from my Sports and Society course (yes, I'm getting graduate credit at Northwestern for taking such a class) and reading all of these predictions.

We've just spent the last two hours discussing Pete Rose and his gambling habits as evidenced by the Dowd Report. I must say, I'm feeling a little quesy reading about lines, pools and free beer.

billy us penn state fans have to stick together. i hope earlham pulls it out as i think they match up better with wooster than wabash-too contrastive of styles for them as opposed to an earlham or  OWU as referenced saturday

[woosterbooster]

With 12 predictions in so far, here's the consensus:

Wooster over Kenyon, 12-0, by an average of 32.
Wittenberg over Denison, 12-0, by an average of 23.
OWU over Allegheny, 11-1, by an average of 10.
Wabash over Earlham, 10-2, by an average of 4.

Vanilla24COW has the average Wooster margin right on the money.
Wooster Booster and pennstghs have the average Witt margin exactly.
Wooster Booster, bishopsfan, Smedindy, and jscwittfan all have the average Wabash margin exactly.

I'll take predictions up until around 6 PM tomorrow evening before heading over to the game.

Ya know I really can't believe there isn't a single mention about the new poll in here.

I just wondered what everyone thought about Hope being #2 and Wooster #3.

My personal feeling is ........well shock, I didn't think Wooster would drop past #2 with seemingly the best resume of the 2 loss teams.  I didn't expect Hope to move up that much with two wins over mediocre competition.

I think this is a case of whose loss in most recent in the memory of the voters.. Wooster JUST lost saterday and its been longer than that since hope lost.. hopefully things will shake out when NCAA tourney time comes around

Wooster by 33
Witt by 27
OWU by 12
Wabash by 7

I don't think it's a surprise Wooster moved to #3. Lawrence of course deserves to be #1 and Hope probably deserves #2 right now.

We will see though. We will see.

I didn't expect it, either, but Hope and Wooster are virtually tied (two points separate them), and that's perfectly fine with me.

My picks:

Wooster over Kenyon by 30
Wittenberg over Denison by 15

Earlham over Wabash by 5

smed you're a little late i mentioned this earlier today-check it and you'll see im right. like i said earlier-the polls are meaningless-they're just up for bragging rights. wooster and witt being ranked lower this week wont make them try less because they're not ranked as high so the discussion of this topic is kind of pointless

[pennstghs]

and by smed i meant sac in that last post-my apologies

What would be the starting five players you would choose to start for your team plus two reserves?

I was checking out the stats of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, and came across an unbelievable line.

Kyle Myrick
25 Games
952 Minutes
38.1 M/PG
314-659 .476 
48-145 .331
143-187 .765   
101 Rebounds
4.0 R/PG 
194 Assists
119 Turnovers   
84 Steals
819 Points
32.8 P/PG

Lincoln scores 96 points a game, while giving up 82.6.  This guy Myrick (a 6'1" senior guard out of Overbrook High School in Philly, the home of Wilt Chamberlain and the somewhat lesser known Wayne Hightower) scored over 1/3 of their points, plus found the time to dish out 194 assists and to turn the ball over 119 times.  When he turned it over, he stole it back 84 of those times. ;-)  If the ball isn't in his hands, he's either just shot it, passed it, or dribbled it out of bounds off his foot.  I want to see these guys play.

After looking further at the Lincoln website, I found this:

Myrick, the nation's leading returning scorer, enters the 2005-06 season as a second-team pre-season All-American selection by Street & Smith's College Basketball magazine.
