I've asked that same question for years.  What I've been told at the games is that those schools choose to do that because its cheaper to fly back and also gets them back in a a relatively decent time to their respective city (so the players aren't having to get back real late and then head to early morning classes).  I'm not sure if this is the real underlying reason... but it does make sense.  (Plus, it gets those schools ready for the conference tournament where back to back games are played)

It's all about flights: timing and expense. OU could not secure a flight Sunday evening at a reasonable time and price.  Next season should be even more interesting with the addition of Colorado College and Birmingham Southern. The conference schedule goes to 16 games from 14 also. Pack your bags, the Petrels will be on the move!

This was the reasoning I was always given as well. 

Although, I can say that the WGRE crew wasn't a big fan of it when we were on a bus somewhere in North Georgia at 2am when we made a Sewanee/Oglethorpe trip on a Friday/Saturday a couple years back.  I think that's the only time DPU played a Fri/Sat roadie that I can recall in the past couple of years. 

I sure didn't envy Trinity and Southwestern this past weekend, either.  That's a tough bus ride between Greencastle and Danville.

I would imagine that it's probably easier on the players as students, but harder on the players as players...if that makes any sense.  I don't think I'd like it very much if I were a coach, either.

New poll out this afternoon.  DePauw up a couple to #8. 

I believe Hendrix picked up precisely 1 vote from last week.  Oglethorpe still pulled down a couple of votes despite the loss in San Antonio on Sunday..

Not SCAC related, but after not being ranked last week, 14-4 Wash U. not only entered in the poll at #11, but pulled a down a first place vote as well.  Odd.... to say the least.

Beat three ranked teams in a row, two of them handily.

Big Win for the Lady Petrels in front of a raucus crowd at the Dorough Fieldhouse vs. Hendrix.

The game was close throughout with OU only leading by 4 at Halftime.  Some hot shooting in the second half allowed OU to take control of the game and put it out of reach midway through, leading by as much as 28 when the bench began to empty.  A trio of defenders were used to "contain" Huggins as she still scored a team high of 18 points (5-17 shooting though) for the Warriors earning most of her points from the line (8-9).  With the win OU improves to 8-2, while Hendrix falls to 8-2.  If both teams win out is it a head to head w/l tiebreaker or overall winning percentage or how would the tie be settled?

Oglethorpe
Kulavic-  24 pts (3-3 from 3)  6 reb in 31 minutes   22pts in the second half

Findley   26 pts (6-9 from 3)  3 reb and 3 steals in 33 minutes

Corbett  10 pts in 22 minutes

Richman 10 pts in 31 minutes

Hendrix
Huggins  18 pts on 5-17 shooting... no 3's and 5 to's  36 minutes

Hicks    9 pts  3 reb   5 fouls  30 minutes

Merritt  11 pts  7 reb  32 minutes

Clark    16 pts 4 reb  3 steal off the bench in 26 minutes


As a personal note- I don't see Hendrix going very far only playing 7 players.  While they are all quality you can expect them to fizzle at the end.

Oglethorpe 87

Hendrix  69

The tie breaker on seeding in the past has been head-to-head as the first tiebreaker.  Since OU and Hendrix only play once this year, OU would be seeded in front of Hendrix if the two teams are tied at the end of the season.

I know the regional rankings come out this week... but is it today or tomorrow?  Just wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head. 

Pat Coleman

Allegedly today, but some years it doens't make it out until Thursday.
