Regional Final Score of Note:

Baldwin-Wallace 81  John Carroll 77

B-W gets the home win on Senior Night as Senior All American Forward Tori Davis leads the Yellow Jackets with 32 points, 10 boards.

This result will help Wooster and Wittenberg in the NCAA Regional Rankings.

Tough result for Wabash after a really solid start to this game.  Big snaps to Witt's video stream....very smooth, very clear, very cool stuff.  It can't be stated enough that everybody in the conference needs to be doing this.

No doubt. I think it's great, and hey Wabash: I'd even pay for access to it.

Final Score:  Allegheny 79  Hiram 66

Allegheny gets the big road win and moves into sole possession of 4th place at 7-8.  George Raftis led the Gators with 21 points on 10-12 from the floor.  Allegheny as a team shot 51% FG vs. ~40% for Hiram.

This result will help Wooster and Wittenberg in the NCAA Regional Rankings.

It'll certainly help in the "in-region win % category," where JCU wasn't all that strong to begin with.

But just a reminder to everyone on the vagaries of our beloved QoWI:
JCU loses at B-WC: 7 pts
Witt beats Wabash at home: 8 pts
Not a lot of help there for the Tigers, maybe .06 QoWI points on average. 

(Wooster gets 11 for winning at Kenyon, so they definitely benefit, by about .25 QoWI pts on average.)

Tonight's Wooster victory drops Kenyon to 6-5 at home this season.  The Lords' prior four losses at Tomsich Arena (to Grove City, DePauw, Wittenberg, and Wabash) were by an aggregate of 18 points, and one of those went to overtime (Witt.)  Wooster beat them by 25, and it could easily have been worse.  It's only the second time this season that the Lords have lost by more than 10 points.  The other time was when they lost by 35...at Wooster.

It's not just Kenyon.  Hiram's worst loss: 111-57 at home vs. Wooster.  Wabash's worst loss: 96-52 at Wooster.  Denison's worst loss: 96-67 at Wooster.  Cabrini? 128-71 at Wooster.  Mt. Union? 85-60 at Wooster.  There may be others, but you get the point.  Sure, these are not good teams (no offense intended), but it's not like Wooster is the only good team they've played (well, it's the only good team Cabrini played .)

It's just too bad they don't give out trophies to the team that causes the most "worst-losses" for other teams.

Players of the Game for both teams... Scholarship money will be donated to each colleges...okay maybe not.

Billy_Pilgrim and to anyone else that might care... I truely do not know how to put this into words.  Senior Guard LaRon Henry is 12-61 from the field in his last 6 games.  By the way that is 19% shooting and has 2 more Fg's then Turnovers during that stretch.   I'm talking about a guy that last year was 158-299  .53% from the field and   37-74   .50% from 3 pointers.  Earlham doesn't have much Depth and EC needs Jewett, Gregory, and HENRY to show up each and every night...

Well Billy_ if we finish 7th we can make the trip to Wittenberg... only if a Witt. Posters will pay for our meal at Rosies and... gzz I can't remember the name of the place for the life of me!


12-61

earlhamalum -- I am not sure that you will be going to Springfield?

Given the Saturday schedule of NCAC games, #4 thru #8 could easily look like this after the Saturday game results:

Allegheny 7-9 (home loss to Witt?)
Earlham 7-9 (win at Oberlin?)
Wabash 7-9 (home win vs. Kenyon?)
Kenyon 6-10 (loss at Wabash?)
Hiram 6-10 (loss at Denison?)

Since I can't remember all the tiebreakers, I am not sure how the seeds would be determined for the NCAC tourney with this scenario? 

Any other insights on tiebreakers or scenarios?
