Just out of curiosity, when will the first regional rankings come out?

Next Wednesday, February 6th  13th.


Thanks to Pat Coleman for correcting this. -- RT

Hoping Lady Colonels can build off a good performance from this past Sunday, and apply it this weekend in Texas. It would be great to gain a split (1-1) on this roadtrip. The team is definitely gaining some confidence.

Millsaps, a team that was on the losing end of some blowout games last year, was on the winning side of a 74-43 game with Rust last night.  I know Rust isn't the strongest competition in women's D3 basketball, but I continue to be impressed by the improvement of the Millsaps team and players over the course of the season. 

They dressed out 9 for the first time since Christmas and maybe Millsaps has a chance to sneak into the SCAC Tournament if everyone can stay healthy and things will fall just right over the last 3 weeks of the season.  Here's the box score for last night's game:

I'll be posting on the board from time to time tonight on the Women's action from Trinity where the Tigers take on Centre. This will be an uphill battle all the way for the Colonels.

[pbrooks3]

Trinity is up 21-6 with 13:09 left in the 1st half.

[pbrooks3]

9:35 left 1st half Trinity up 28-11.

[pbrooks3]

Trinity leading 34-21 with 5:35 to go in the 1st half. Trinity has made a ton of 3's.

[Ron Boerger]

And apparently closed the half with a 17-2 run to take a 51-23 lead at the half.  Ouch.

Thanks for the updates and hope you are enjoying your trip to TX.

[pbrooks3]

Trinity leads at half - 51-23. Shelby leads Trinity with 12; Vonderbrink has 8 for Centre. Trinity is winning in all facets of the game - defense, rebounding, 3's and post play. Trinity cooled off on the 3-point line and managed to post up to score in the last 5 minutes of the half. Centre has probably had no more than 6 uncontested looks at the goal all night. Colonels are playing with grit, but are overmatched by the Tigers, particularly on defensive side and on the boards.

38-36 Oglethorpe leads AC at the half

[pbrooks3]

Trinity leads at the 12:30 mark - 63-30.

[pbrooks3]

Trinity has flat out whipped Centre 70-32 at 7:18 mark. Colonels have 7 2nd half points by my count. Time to head to the Riverwalk I'm afraid. Tigers are very solid. Should be a good contest tomorrow night when they host DePauw.

[jekelish]

61-52 Oglethorpe leads, under five remaining.

[pbrooks3]

Trinity wins 78-44.
