Sources have told me that Tim Vandervaart's wrist is definitely broken.  This could possibly be a career ending injury.  :'(  It is such a shame when things like this happen at the end of a career.  Let's hope for a speedy recovery for Tim and that the rest of the Scots can hang in there...

This would just be too bad for Tim.  I do hope he will still be able to be a factor before this season is out.  If I saw it correctly, it was his left wrist, meaning not his shooting hand.  With a break, it seems to always depend so much on just how complicated the break was in terms of when or if the player can come back in a season.

Last year Evan Will stepped up and had solid games stepping in Port's place when he had his wrist injury.  We'll need strong efforts from him again coupled with increased time and contributions from Craig Elam to keep up the Scots' winning ways.

Wasn't Kramer part of the "We Hate Ghiloni" axis last year?? I may be going on memory? But one of the complaints was that Denison had a lot of roster turnover, yet I looked and it wasn't really out of the ordinary for D-3.

Oh, and this is a MAN's line in the Hiram / Denison tilt:

04 Mike Staley......... *  6-14   2-3   10-11   1  3  4   2  24 15  7  0  1  59


59 minutes. 24 points and 15 assists. OK 7 TOS, but still over a 2/1 A to TO ratio.

And 59 minutes! Out of 60.

If I had a vote for Player of the Week I know where it would go.

For those Scots' fans down here in Columbus that are getting their report on the game from The Columbus Dispatch - a couple of corrrections from this morning's article:
     1) Tom Port did not play center
     2) Wooster did not play zone defense

Other than that, it was a nice page-width article across the top of the main basketball page.  The article states that on Friday Coach Moore showed the team the tape of last year's loss at OWU to give them just a little more motivation.  I also agree that the key play in the game may have been Cooper's conventional 3-pt play late in the game to extend the lead back to 7.

If Vandervaart is going to be out for an extended period, or perhaps the rest of the season I would guess that the Scots will counter with Geitgey, or Elam, and Melick depending on what kind of size they want to present.  Either way somebody will need to step it up if the Scots want to make it to Salem.

After looking at the Wooster-OWU boxscore, which hadn't yet been posted when I relayed my notes of yesterday, it seems even more evident that the Scots were lucky, very lucky, to escape from OWU with their win.  They played very hard, if not always efficiently, but caught The Fighting Bishops on a night when hardly anything was dropping for them.  20-65 from the floor, 3-24 from behind the arc, and also only 11-20 from the free throw line.  Phew.

     1) Port does play "center" on the defensive end, but he's clearly a wing on offense.  He's almost never in the offensive foul lane unless he's driving it.
     2) Of course they don't; as "Mose" Hole might say, they play a "stratified transitional zone with man-to-man implications."  ;) :D

Here's a link to the article; I found it under "Prep Sports."  ::)

It would indeed be a shame if "Darth" Vandervaart is indeed out for the season.  Injuries can be tough to overcome especially when it is your most 'dependable' big that was playing so good early in the year that there was NCAC P-O-Y talk about him.  I hope he comes back...remember that SCOTS had injury issues going into the tourney during the Final Four season.

Also, good to see that Hiram and Denison made the front page of this illustrious website with an account of their four overtime thrilla ion Granvilla eventhough I picked Denison over on the NCAC pick 'em page. 
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:

Witt JVs played OSU-Marion yesterday.

Marion's coach reflected about the 123 point loss to Lincoln in today's News-Sun:

Interesting that  Marion's coach actually played in their games and that Lincoln's coach received numerous emails about the runup of the score.

And scored 43 points in the two games! Wow.

I like how he now wishes he'd never played that game. Hindsight and all...

As post season approaches, it is important to keep an eye on the regional win-loss records because that is one of the key stats used by the NCAA selection committee.

Top 15 Great Lakes Regional Records thru 1/20 results:

Lake Erie (AMCC) 12-0
Wooster (NCAC) 10-1
Hope (MIAA) 7-1
Westminster (PrAC) 10-2 (includes Marietta win not marked as in-region)
Wittenberg (NCAC) 9-3
Tri-State (MIAA) 6-2
John Carroll (OAC) 10-4
Bethany (PrAC) 10-4
Ohio Northern (OAC) 8-4
Baldwin-Wallace (OAC) 8-4
Heidelberg (OAC) 11-5
Penn State-Behrend (AMCC) 9-5
Ohio Wesleyan (NCAC) 8-5
Carnegie Mellon (UAA) 8-5
Calvin (MIAA) 4-4

Obviously, the QoWI rating for each team will also play a big role in the NCAA selections/seedings but I thought these regional records were interesting.
