It is a damn shame that he doesn't get ONE vote?????? They were 21-4!! I think other coaches don't like him, they feel he runs the score up, when instead they just keep playing their style of basketball. Also, I think the SCAC schools in general look down upon Oglethorpe as a whole. No matter, he'll return for the third straight year to the NCAA's, what will the coaches think when OU beats DePauw for the 'Ship?

Can anyone tell me why WGRE isnt broadcasting the OU/Trinity Game?
I don't know.

OU 64 TU 51 7:25 left


OU 65, TU 61 Megan D'Errico at the FT line for two and misses both.  3:40 left.


OU 70 TU 67, with Hubenak at the line.  0:27 left. Hubenak at the line. Good 70-68.


Final OU wins 73-70.  TU's Rachel Snyder misses a jumper at the buzzer.

Thanks Ralph!

The Thomas More coach will send him Steaks! :)

I have felt for 3 years now that Sattele has deserved to receive some kind of recognition for turning Oglethorpe around.  He took a sub-500 team and turned the program into what should be 3 straight NCAA tournament appearances, and he has not been mentioned as a potential coach of the year candidate.  Don't get me wrong, I understand that what Kris Huffman does at DePauw year-in and year-out is outstanding, but something should be said for being able to turn a program around in the fashion that Sattele did, whether you like the man or not.

That would be news to us. We'll check on it and make sure we're a go for the championship games on Sunday. Apologies to any folks who were unable to hear the game.

In re: postseason awards. You know why Sattele didn't win Coach of the Year this year? His team didn't go undefeated in the freaking conference. Kris Huffman's team did. It's probably that simple.

Then again, I don't claim to know the minds of the voters, which is why the POTY selection confuses me to no end. No disrespect to Kulavic, who is quite a player. I just like my Players of the Year to average fewer than FIVE TURNOVERS per game. I'm sorry - that 131 in the turnover category just sticks out like a sore thumb to me. There's nothing more harmful you can do to your team than end a possession by giving the ball to the other team, and Kulavic does that more than all but one player in the entire conference.

If nothing else, it should ensure that a certain #13 and a certain #31 on the defending national champs should be properly motivated tomorrow afternoon.

I've got to think that made the difference on the men's side, partner.  I know a certain men's player who turned it over 168 times (!) and didn't get the award.

I didn't even know she averaged that many turnovers.  Surprised it wasn't brought up and argued about several times over here like it was on the men's board. 

Looking forward to a good one this afternoon!  Always tough to beat a great basketball team three times in one season.

Also, in fairness partner, I don't read any of the comments on the voting as saying that Coach Ron was the leader in the clubhouse to win the award. 

You're right that Satelle didn't do what Huffman did this year.  That being said, Deb Hunter, Wendie Austin-Robinson, Kelly Mahlum, Dickie McCarthy or Amie Bradley didn't do it either.  And they got a vote. 

The coach of 7-18 Austin got a vote, but the coach of 23-4 Oglethorpe did not.  As did the coach of 7-16 Centre.  And 9-17 Sewanee.  And 13-13 Colorado.  Does seem a little fishy to me, honestly.

hoopsfan11

Yeah, you're right.  He didn't do what Kris Huffman did this year, and he probably didn't deserve to win COTY this year.  I think the point everyone is making is that he did deserve to receive votes if the coaches of 4 other teams that didn't do what he did received  votes.

If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, Wes, you might want to check again, because 168 was the number in that player's assist column this year. 86 was the number in the TO column.

And as far as Sattele not getting a vote for Coach of the Year... I had not noticed that was the case. That's a shame.

lets make this clear:  I definitely was not stating that Coach Huffman should not have received Coach of the Year.. I was just questioning why he didnt get one vote and 5 or 6 other coaches received votes.. 

Wes: I appreciate you clearing that up that I was never questioning why Coach Huffman received COY.. im not here to cause a big ordeal and im glad that you realize that..

My apologies, sir. I misinterpreted what you all were talking about initially. That's entirely on me.

Whoopsey.   :-[  Hey, I posted that at 5:40 in the morning.  Cut me some slack.

Congrats to DePauw - SCAC champs. 
Sounds like it was a great game again.

And congrats to all of the all-tournament performers.

72-69 the final.  Unsurprisingly, it was another close one between these two. 

Gretchen Haehl led the way for the Old Gold with 17 and 10 boards.  Emily Marshall with 14 and 12.  Jenna Fernandez with 10 and 8. 

Kulavic had a nice day.  22 to lead all scorers.  Anna Findley with 20.  Tina Grace with 14.

Came down to rebounding and turnovers today, folks.  OU outshot DPU from everywhere on the floor, but DPU was +8 on the boards and +7 on the TO's.  Points off turnovers was 21-10.  DPU only shot 39%, but they pulled down 20 (!!) offensive rebounds.
