MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[David Collinge]

I would like to give jscwittfan  some karma, but I don't think I can.

How would I do that? 

You need to have 200 posts before you are granted magical karma powers.  Don't worry, I *applaud*ed jscwittfan for you (actually for me, but I can only do it once every 24 hours.) 

**Wells up like someone receiving an Academy Award.**

I'd like to thank all the people who voted for me, my broadcast team, Witten---

**Cuts to commercial.**

Or perhaps,

**StretchCast craps out.**

Tigers got a big win today at the HPER, and Artie was lookin good. Had a good vantage point, almost on the floor (third or fourth row) at the Northeast corner of the HPER, fulfilling my role as band leader once again.

It seemed to me that Borchers was doing as good a job as anyone can ask against Cedarville's big men, although the offensive rotation C'ville used resulted in more than a few mismatches which pitted Pat Denbow and Gregg Hill against 40 and 42 for the Yellow Jackets (not sure of their names, really). Obviously, the height difference simply ended up with Denbow and Hill outmanned.

Witt's rebounding wasn't great, as has been said. They seemed to lack the energy to go up for a lot of the rebounds. There were numerous times that the Tigers just watched the ball instead of attacking it. Definitely something Coach Brown will need to work on. Wooster's going to come in with lots of energy and Witt's gonna need to match it to have a chance.

Offensively, Witt did a nice job switching to the outside for the most part, good ball movement (not all the time), with Borchers mostly shut down inside.

Highlight of the game for me: Hemenway with a block in the second half. He's one of my favorite guys to watch on the floor. Not the most graceful or even most talented, but boy does he get fired up. Never lacking spirit, that's for sure.

Getting pumped for Wooster!!! By the way, if anyone's interested in hearing some of the best students broadcasts in all of college sports, me and jscwittfan (Josh) are at it again tomorrow night, traveling with Witt's women to Thomas More. Tip off is at 7:30 and the game will be available on WUSO 89.1 locally and as always online through the witt athletics homepage.

Tiger Up!

David,

I'll give the karma for TigerFan - to jscwittfan, for service over-and-above while broadcasting: +k.

What is the going rate for brokering karma?

What is the going rate for brokering karma?   

Well, 6 karma points and 3 or 4 bucks will get you a cafe latte.  100 karma points, and the same amount of money, will also get you one.  At least that's my current opinion.  If I get up to Oberlin early I'll see if DIII Hoops karma points actually have some tangible value in their local coffehouses.

Just be sure you stay out of the backrooms of said coffeehouses.

For anyone that was having problems with Witt's broadcast last night during the Cedarville game:

From what I've been told, Stretch has been contacted.  Supposedly, we are going to try something a little different tonight.  If anyone is interested, we will have a Witt women's broadcast tonight (against Thomas More), and will really be a "test run" of the new way of getting the broadcast to Stretch.

If anyone happens to listen, let me know if you are having the same problems with Stretch cutting out as you were last night.  This should fix things, but we just want to make sure.

Tiger up!

Wooster leads Oberlin at the half 49-34

Wooster closed out the half with a 31-4  run!!! 

Oberlin came out firing and built a 30-12 lead with just under 9 minutes left in the half when Wooster woke up and went on their huge run to take control of the game,

Regarding the video feed.  What is the cost?  And will it be archived somewhere for download.  Can you believe that I have the wife's job Holiday Party SAT Night??  Bummer for me.  I will want to see this game either recorded or from an archive.  I am in Memphis and do not have NE Ohio pulic access.

I wish they could get on Fox Sports Ohio!!

Sorry to be nit-picky (the curse of being a former stat instructor)!

If Oberlin was 30-12, then Woo's run was 37-4
If Woo went 31-4, then Oberlin could not have been 30-12.

Sorry!  It IS a curse sometimes to notice numbers!

Final:  Wooster 95  Oberlin 76

Wooster had 6 players in double figure points tonight led by Tom Port and James Cooper each with 17 points.

Wooster is now 6-0.   Next up is Witt in Springfield on Saturday!

GO SCOTS!

According to the radio, it was the latter.  Oberlin was leading 30-18, not 30-12, before the 31-4 run.

Sorry, scotsbrod is correct.  I had the 12 point deficit on my brain when I was typing my update.  It was in fact a 30-18 deficit facing the Scots. 

Wooster has made a habit of going on some big runs in the 1st half of games this season.  They had a 19-0 run against Walsh.  They had a 15-2 run to close the 1st half against Gerogetown (KY).  They then had a run of 16-0 and eventually 22-2 last Saturday against Earlham.  And tonight they put together a 21-0 run on the Yeomen which they extended to the afore mentioned 31-4 run to close the half. 

Witt is going to have to seriously guard against Wooster's 'spurtability' if they want to have a chance to win on Saturday.  Witt has shown signs of being vulnerable to jumping out to big leads and letting teams back in the game late.  The Tigers can afford to do this against lesser opponents, but they can't afford it against a team like Wooster.

ScotsFan,

I'm of the 'no harm, no foul' persuasion!

After 32 years of picking out numerical errors, I just can't help myself!

I enjoy your posts!
