MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[imderekpoe]

The OAC-NCAC Challenge this year has Kenyon vs Capital and Muskingum vs Denison on 11/25 at Denison with the opponents switched at Muskingum on the 26th.

I also found a couple of Witt games: Home vs Transy and on the road against Capital.

One thing I would love to see Wooster do with their basketball schedule is to play doubleheaders, with the women's game preceding the men's game.

The women don't draw many fans on their own, but if they were given a 5 PM start to the men's 7 PM, for one admission, I think that would give them some exposure.

I saw this done down at OWU last season when I went to the Wooster men's game there, although the Wooster women weren't involved, it was OWU vs Denision.  Still, it was enjoyable to see two ballgames in one session and I'd love to see Wooster catch on to the concept.

Hope did this a handfull of times last year and it was a success.  Good exposure, I'd say alot of Hope fans learned their ladies could play some good basketball.....including me.

Problem is, Wooster's ladies aren't known for playing good basketball.

all of the UAA league games are like that and its pretty sweet...definately gets attendance up and brings fans to appreciate both teams.

witt4ever,

FYI, I'm not having any luck opening the link you supplied for the Witt recruits.  A page pops up that says I don't have access to this document?

Mt Union?? Wooster must want to assure a fast start to their season to schedule Mount. Mount has some decent G's but with the post graduating you should kill them on the boards.

ScotsFan,

Try it now. Let me know if it still does not work. Thanks for telling me. If it still does not work, go here:

and click the link for the recruits.

w4e,

Thanks.  Your new link worked.  Looks like Witt went for and got some bigs to replace Russ and Brady.  Seven out of twelve recruits at 6'6" or taller?  Sounds like the makings of a good class to me. 

[David Collinge]

It looks like Bill Brown may have picked Mac Petty's pocket (twice), bringing in two recruits from West Lafayette, including one (6'6" Kevin Lange) that the News-Sun is fairly high on.

After his petty cash, huh?

Wooster appears to have lost Dex Battista as an incoming recruit as this item was posted on the MLive website a few days ago:

A late addition for Flying Dutchmen?
Dex Battista, the 6-foot-8 Utica grad, is reported to have changed his mind about going to the College of Wooster, and will enroll at Hope. This is key for the Flying Dutchmen, as Battista is the rare MIAA recruit capable of matching up with 6-8 John Mantel of Chelsea, who will be a freshman at Calvin.

Hope now has a very solid freshman class with Battista; Euro-skilled 6-1 Dustin Miller from Marshall; versatile 6-6 Steven Kratz from Ludington; and 6-10 shot-blocking project Brian Puls from Alpena.

That would be a big loss for the Scots.  But I've heard that he's working out with the team and has been looking good in the pick-up scrimmages.
