MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

witt was up 30-26 with 4 minutes when i lost radio feed, imagine that.  it really wasnt that bad considering the level of intelligence of the witt announcers tonight-i think every basket was followed with a "just like that" lol.

witt needs this win tonight badly

[goscots]

DC - I should have realized that there was no poll next week, so yes I agree that Wooster could keep their current ranking. But I should add that their #1 ranking has a bit of a "been there, done that" feel. Two wins in Salem should be Scots only goal.

[WLCALUM83]

Witt up 64-59  5 minutes left--(feed restored).

[WLCALUM83]

Witt still up, less than a minute left--Otterbein fouling late:

[WLCALUM83]

Wittenberg 79, Otterbein 72--final:

Elsewhere:

Washington & Jefferson 62, Earlham 60 *boo*
Wilmington 63, Ohio Wesleyan 60 *hiss*
Heidelberg 88, Hiram 50 *throws rotten tomato*

Outside the NCAC:
Greensboro 66, John Carroll 63
UW-La Crosse 62, #4 St. Thomas 54

UW-La Crosse 62, #4 St. Thomas 54

That result only makes the Mose Hole tourney that much more interesting...what a weekend of basketball Timken gym should be in for!

[Pat Coleman]

Yeah, but that might be misleading -- St. Thomas All-American center Isaac Rosefelt did not dress tonight.

Scotsfan, Thanks for the history lesson. We are in agreement about the lack of need for motivation. Friday night's match-up ought to be a good one, but I still maintain that standard operating procedure would be to pick the team you feel you have the best chance of beating to get to the finals in the tournament. There is no shame in that and I believe most any tournament host would do the same thing. I appreciate your position, I just disagree with it. Here's to a good ,well played and hopefully well officiated game...Unfortunately the officiating in several games I've attended this year have been disappointing....inconsistent and unable to explain when questioned as to why the foul was called and what the player did that got the whistle...very very frustrating.

perhaps someone could post a link to the daily record of wooster Ohio's website with the sports section from friday, as I cannot get it to work, but coach moore had an Interesting comment on the foul ratio stating something like "to the untrained eye it would seem we were getting reamed by the refs, but we were fouling them, and it was getting called" if someone like WooBoo or someone else from wooster can access and link the article, that'd be great, it was just something I saw in passing when reading the paper this morning.

Ryder16-

I can see the headline for the article that you're talking about, but since I'm not a paying member of the Daily Record website, I can't get to the article.  Under their new format, some articles are free to everyone, for others you must be a paid member.  Which articles are premium seems to be a somewhat random choice, as the one in question is the column of Charles Conant, which is often free.

[David Collinge]

The Scots sent California Baptist to the line 38 times and shot just 11.

"The foul trouble with Brandon hurt," Moore said. "Someone who didn't see the game might think we were getting a raw deal. But, we were fouling and they were calling them."

good solid win by witt last night-a much needed one i must add. without denbow this week hurt because our leadership from the point guard position was pinned on a true freshman and a sophomore playiing his first minutes as a varsity players. one thing the announcers kept saying that was inaccurate was that kyle bigler was playing his first varsity game ever last night. WRONG. he played minutes tuesday night at ohio northern. where's mike tirico when you need him.

otterbein must have gotten soem bad calls last night because apparently thats the only way witt and others can win games.

There must be a story to the name "Mose Hole."  Can someone enlighten me on this one?

E.M. "Mose" Hole was the head coach of men's basketball at Wooster from 1926 through 1958.  He compiled a record of 412-181 (.695) in those 32 years, and won five OAC titles.

I see why they named the tournament after him.  Why did they call him "Mose"?

There you have me.  Maybe his middle name was Moses.
