I don't know what's happened in Oxford, but they are awful at both football and hoops now. It's kind of amazing how they got so bad so quickly. Great win for Wilm and D3 though. Always fun to see.

Saw BW dropped at close one at Wooster. Also saw that the big kid I wanted Mount to get badly (Fanelly) is starting at Wooster as a freshman. He had 13 and 7 against BW.

well Miami fired their football coach just a few games into the season, basketball coach may not make it much longer.

John Cooper is in just his second season in Oxford.

Raiders open OAC play by handing JCU their first loss of the season. Mount scored 66...in the 2nd half! 113-100 final. Soph Cody Dillon dropped 35 including 8-11 from 3. Solid win.

Mount snuck out a win in Tiffin yesterday 74-71. I'll take any road win in conference play. They're now 4-2, 2-0. Ruffin had a double double with 16 and 13. Freshman big man Tyler Sherman is only playing 12 min per game, but he's averaging 6 boards and a block in those 12 min. Good sign for the future that they should have another guy to attack the glass hard.

The other good news is that they're 2-0 and their leading returning scorer, Jacubec, has been shooting poorly (28%). Once he finds his stroke again they'll be in even better shape.

I know its early but picking Marietta to finish 5th is looking a little foolish.

Marietta 82 Heidelberg 80

A little running right-hander from H'berg fails to drop at the buzzer.

Mount (5-2, 3-0) built a 16 point lead at half and cruised to a 93-71 win over Ott today. The Cards fought back and cut it 6 a couple times early in the 2nd, but the lead ballooned up to 15+ for around the last 10 min. Balanced scoring with 5 Raiders in double figures.

say dr. that must have been quite a day in alliance today. How bad was the snow and did you get to watch the football game as well?

Dr. Acula · December 15, 2013, 12:02:30 AM

I just followed the basketball on live stats from the office while I was working. I did watch the football game on ESPN3. I live in Cbus so I wasn't messing with the drive today. It was snowing pretty good. Field went from clear to a few inches of snow covering it in the 3 hrs. Good game. It can be watched on ESPN3 if you were so inclined.

Wilmington 89 Baldwin-Wallace 74

Wilmington vs #3 Illinois Wesleyan on Friday at Hope

Big night for the OAC race.

Baldwin-Wallace at Mt.Union

BW needs the win to avoid dropping 2 back before we even reach January. MtU will be looking to protect home court and stay tied with Marietta who hosts Muskingum.

On Saturday BW travels to Bethany in a key regional game. Combined with their Monday game against Wilmington, this will have been a really big week for Baldwin-Wallace. A season shaping kind of week.

Dr. Acula · December 18, 2013, 10:00:22 PM

Mount takes care of business at home. Drops BW 90-79 and moves to 4-0 in OAC play. Solid win.

sac · December 21, 2013, 06:25:55 PM

Bethany 60 Baldwin-Wallace 58

significant loss in the post-season picture for BW and a significant win for Bethany.

Rose-Hulman 85 John Carroll 80

0-3 is not the shape BW wanted it to take. At 2-2 it's way early obviously. The problem is they just made the road a lot harder as they lost a chunk of their margin for error before Santa even comes.
