Next time you want to pick a special; leave the upsets alone and go order breakfast at Denny's.

Well it wasn't like Rebekah Forsythe was hurt or anything. jeez. She missed a chunk of the game because she rolled an ankle. She wasn't really the same when she came back. 20 points is 20 points, I know. But it wasn't like OU was playing a JV team.

So, no upsets in the first round. For today's game, I'll take Trinity to beat Oglethorpe in a close game but experience wins out. And just like in last year's tournament, I don't think Rhodes will have enough in their legs to stay with Depauw, setting up an all-tiger final for the fourth straight year.

I think the first game depends on how healthy Kulavic is for OU. Apparently, sources close to WGRE say (sorry, I always wanted to say that) that she also rolled an ankle yesterday.

The first time these two teams played, it was a barnburner. I think it will be again. If Oglethorpe turns it over less than 15 times and they get more than 12-13 from Kulavic, they have a great shot. Or Anna Findlay can go completely bananas like she did yesterday. That'll probably work too.

Rhodes may not have the legs to stay with DePauw, but they'll sure have about 1,000 Mallory Maniacs on their side. DPU has struggled in hostile environments this year (see @ College, Rhodes and @ University, Oglethorpe 1st half). Rhodes was the last team to have a shot at the end to win against DePauw. The crowd will help Rhodes, but the fact that only Lindsay Houin played more than 25 minutes for DPU yesterday will (I hope) be enough for a win.

Does Oglethorpe have a shot at a pool C bid with the loss to Trinity tonight?

Ron Boerger · February 25, 2006, 08:05:29 PM

I think OU is on the bubble and maybe on the outside looking in. They were regionally ranked before the loss, but 19-5 in-region isn't a lock for a Pool C. Going to depend on who else loses.

Worst-case scenario for OU would be for Trinity to win tomorrow. That would give a Pool C to DePauw and make it that much harder for OU. Seriously doubt the AA would take three teams from the SCAC.

DPU 18, Rhodes 8 12:13 left in the first half.

Ralph Turner · February 25, 2006, 08:50:29 PM

DPU leads by 18 with 4 minutes left in the first half.

Ralph Turner · February 25, 2006, 08:57:57 PM

DPU 42 Rhodes 25

Rebounds DPU 29 RC 13.

So much for that thing I said about hostile environments. A raucous Rhodes student section hasn't bothered DPU one bit. DPU is playing well. They've been great defensively. It's been a pretty physical game to this point, for what its worth. Not sure if it hurts or helps either team, but Bridget Bailey shows the way with 11 for DPU. Ashley Farrell with 11 for Rhodes.

Ron Boerger · February 25, 2006, 09:51:35 PM

Looks like Rhodes is keeping it respectable in the second half but still trail 83-71 with 1:25 left. DPU starters have gotten plenty of rest.

I've been working all day on Millsaps photos which brings me to this offer:

At the tournament this weekend the parents of a Southwestern player stopped me and told me how much they liked the photo of their son that was on the Millsaps website. I told them to email me and I'd send them a copy of the original file.

I may regret saying this, but there may be other parents/players/SID's out there who would like a couple of the photos from games played at Millsaps. I'll be glad to email the photos files to folks who request them as long as it doesn't get out of hand. On the photo website there is a "Contact Member" button. That sends an email to me at frankezelle@yahoo.com. It would help if I got the information I needed all at once--namely the team, men's or women's game, and the photo name that appears at the bottom of the photo.

Here's the link for Millsaps photos: http://photobucket.com/albums/v283/Millsaps_Majors/

I can't promise instant replies because I'm in the middle of fixing all of the Millsaps basketball CD's and then I have to get started on spring sports, but I will get the photos out to you (and in case you are wondering, there is no charge).

Frank.

You should have requested a $20 contribution to the Frank Ezelle/ Millsaps Majors Educational Foundation to fund need-based academic scholarships at Millsaps.

DPU wins!

Ron Boerger · February 26, 2006, 06:31:27 PM

Pat and company have predicted that DePauw, Oglethorpe, and Trinity (in that order) will all get bids tonight. Trinity is definitely on the bubble, moreso than Oglethorpe who from their projection is solidly in.

Trinity has given DePauw its two toughest games of the year (with the exception of the loss at WashU early in the season). Perhaps that, combined with 2 defeats of Oglethorpe in three tries, will carry enough weight with the committee to give the SCAC a third playoff team.
