Lucky for Flight that i'll be traveling with him.. Being from Indiana, I've driven in the heavy snow on several occasions.. so hopefully we'll be ok..

Good Luck to both Depauw and OU tonight.. rep the SCAC well..

Hopefully OU gets that first tourney win under their belt.. at least they better.. I took an extra day off work to make the trip for saturday nights game

Thanks for the advice Wes... being from the South we've heard about snow but we rarely see it.  I'll pack a snow shovel, ice pick and allow a few hours extra travel time just in case so we can safely get there.

OU's up 20-15 28-15 after a Osmanson and Findley 3 (3-4) and 2 ft's from Grace in the early going... hopefully we can continue to the win.

Good luck to Depauw in tonight's action as well.

[vozdelospetrels]

Petrels up 11 at the half 49-38 over Piedmont. Hopefully they can keep this up.

[vozdelospetrels]

OU wins by 13 over Piedmont. Final score 91-78. 1st ever win in NCAA Tournament play for Oglethorpe Women's basketball.

Big win for the Lady Petrels!  The big test is tomorrow... time to hit the road and make the journey to Blizard Country!

Get your Skyline Chili while you're in Cincy, FlightofthePetrel!  My home town, but I never took a shine for the 4-way chili in the Queen City.  Thomas More is relatively easy to find off I-275 east just before you get to the Ohio River.  Drive carefully; there should be snow and cold temps along the route.

Thanks for the advice Wes... being from the South we've heard about snow but we rarely see it. 

So you say that,  but then you don't do yourself any favors by following it with this:

time to hit the road and make the journey to Blizard Country!

You know you're from the South when you can't spell blizzard right.

Also, DPU 70 Denison 53.  Game was a lot closer than the final indicated for a good portion of the second half.  Missed a few lay-ups.  Didn't shoot it very well.  But, I thought they played great defense all evening long.  Denison had a tough time getting anything going on the offensive end.  Wash U tomorrow evening.

On the road right now.. Flight and I are about 100 miles from lexington.. No bad weather yet.. Just rain.. Pbrooks3 thanks for the recommendation.. We'll be sure to give it a try.. And yes wes flight can't spell plus he's from the south.

If it's not too cold and you have a hankering for something sweet, stop at Graeters for ice cream.

[FlightofthePetrel]

Finally made it... avg speed the last 4 hours was 37 MPH... made for a rough ending to a trip that started out so well.  Sitting in the lobby of the Hampton Inn looking for discounts on expedia, priceline or any otehr internet site that may help a few college guys refrain from paying the $120 rent.... so far the best we can come up with $109- hey it all counts.

Look forward to a great game tomorrow- with the Petrels coming out on top.

[vozdelospetrels]

What's the deal with Thomas More besides the obvious fact that they're 29-0? Any DePauw or Centre fans know much about this team? 

[pbrooks3]

I know they defeated DePauw. Can't give any scouting report on them.

The weather has slowed down many folks traveling - my son came home last night for his spring break from Hendrix - 165 miles in nearly 6 hours; that works out to less than 30 mph.

[Rufio]

I just got a texted update from Flight... Oglethorpe leads 61-54 with 55 seconds left.

[vozdelospetrels]

Incredible!!! Way to go Lady Petrels!!! I actually had a feeling that Thomas More's victory over DePauw was early in the season when DePauw was still finding themselves. OU wins by 10 65-55.

DePauw 73
Wash U 66

DePauw led the first 99% of the first half, just for Wash U. to take the lead on free throws in the last minute.  Second half was really close for the first 10 minutes or so, then DePauw had a 7-0 run with Janice Evans on the bench in foul trouble.  Wash U. got back into it and got back within 3, but they couldn't overcome the fact that all of their post players had 4 fouls, Fernandez would either get a lay-up or draw a foul, and Marshall had some huge offensive rebounds in the last four minutes.
