Now I hear the "start the bus" cheer.  WABASH has resorted to missing 3's and fouling and EC is hitting all the FTs
I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
"I served in the United States Navy" John F Kennedy

WABASH comes back with "That's alright. That's OK. You'll work for us one day" cheer.
If I was EARLHAM I would reply with "scoreboard" cheer.

Wittenberg 75, Denison 57, 4:18 to go.

A far far dumber chant than any possible thing the Wabash crowd could come up with at that point. I really really hate that chant.

That said, congrats to Earlham. YOu guys took care of your FT problems, shot well and deserved the win. Good luck as you move on.

Here's to baseball season.  ;)

On the subject of chants:

In football season, the Scot Marching band has a couple good ones- the "emasculate them, emasculate them, make them relinquish the ball" cheer is standard, as someone mentioned above.

Against OWU Bishops, that cheer becomes "Defrock them, Defrock them, make them relinquish their vows!"   ;)

And, last time Denison came to Wooster, a couple creative Woo brass players made a little arrangement of the theme from those old Big Red Gum commercials- you know, "that big red freshness lasts right through it, it just goes right on and on, while you chew it....etc" and we sang it at them.   :) :) :)

That's what I mean when I think of good, intelligent cheers.

Really too bad that two Indiana teams couldn't advance to the weekend.....and these three between Earlham/Wabash this year were classics.


Great, now we get Team Buzzsaw. Whatever, Earlhamalum and I are making the trip. See you at one of the establishments on Friday night.

Just one note on the Wabash broadcast. Guy did a great job....and he only complained about the refs a couple of times despite saying he was trying to remain non-biased. But, one thing did bother me. He called out Henry, Jewett and Miller for having "bad attitudes" and continually "showboating". By the way, he also called out Tom Port for having a bad attitude earlier in the season. There's no room for that from a student announcer. We've mentioned throughout the day the fun that the Wabash students like to have at games. If players are going to respond to those students (and their sometimes vulgar chants or statements) and back it up (as was the case in a road conference tourney win with emotions high), leave it alone. Those are just college kids having fun........

Maybe not well explained, but it did bug me during the broadcast that he called out Jewett repeatedly.

Does it matter that he's a student? If he'd been an adult staff member it would be okay? I don't understand that.

Wooster quietly turned in a solid performance tonight.

Kenyon shot horribly, which contributed to the lowest point total Wooster has allowed all season (next lowest, 52 against the coll. of New Jersey, which plays totally anti-Wooster's style).  But Wooster's defensive intensity was impressive- lots of forced turnovers and almost turnovers, though they were definitely burned a few times for their aggressive defensive play.

I don't want to talk about the officiating, since it really didn't matter in the overall scheme of the game- if other Wooster posters want to complain there probably were a few calls Wooster didn't get.  However, it seemed to me that on the whole the officials let quite a bit of contact go on both sides––especially early on.

Wooster took what was a surprising 42-18 advantage (since it hardly seemed like they played a good first half, shooting 20% or so from 3 pt land) and quickly put it out of reach early in the second making their first 6 or 7 threes for the half.

Kenyon came out intense- early on it looked like we were going to have a hotly contested game on our hands.  Kenyon was leading in rebounds early, and hanging with Wooster basket for basket- but it turned out to be mostly due to the fact that Wooster's offense was not producing.

We'll see how well Wooster's defensive intensity holds up against Earlham.

Elsewhere, OWU smacks Allegheny 106-67.  I wonder who that single moron was that picked Allegheny to win this game?  ::) :D

He called Jewett out after Jewett was barking at the Wabash bench after he made an outlet pass that led to the Miller dunk late in the game.  The students dish it out and they can take it...in fact they feed on that (the worst thing you can do at Chadwick is try to taunt back).  Jawing at the Wabash bench is over the line.  That's what he was getting at.

There's very little thats quiet about a 52 point victory   I nominate this for understatement of the night. ;D

WITT wins over Denison and faces OWU in the early game at WOOSTER.
27 point from Dan Russ..can you say MVP.

Wow.  Even though Allegheny isn't a very good team, OWU is playing dominant basketball, with the win against Woo and the blowout win on Allegheny.

I wonder if they'll be just as fired up and driven to beat Witt on a neutral floor...wait- has anyone confirmed a Witt victory yet?

And I see Witt has won, thanks to the warning about new posts...
