MBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

I know nothing about Anderson but I'm very confident they have no one that can defend Parker so let's start there.

Parker does have some amazing (for the D3 level) arachnid capabilities.

that is a great description of Parker, it does seem like he has 8 hands tipping the ball around, blocking shots, grabbing boards lol

Massey is giving John Carroll 68%. Pretty good odds, but Albertus Magnus could be dangerous. Just knocking off the top team in the country and all 

[D3fanboy]

the JCU team of transfers is looking pretty good so far, a ton more physical.  Luke Chicone is playing like an AA

Mount got by with a win tonight, but better pick up the intensity of they want to continue. They didn't look anything like they did in the OAC tournament. Defensive intensity wasn't there and on offense they didn't get to the basket enough, couldn't finish when they did and made half of their free throws. You've got this Raiders!

[Dr. Acula]

It's survive and advance time, but if we're being honest what does Anderson finish in the OAC?  5th?  Tighten it up tomorrow and move on again Raiders!

[Dr. Acula]

Mount up 44-31 at half and truthfully not playing great.  I'm not sure LBC has the horses to keep up.  Their SG definitely seems like he hasn't been defended by guys like Newsom/Gurley.  Mansfield was key early on.

[Dr. Acula]

I don't know what conference these officials are from but god bless those poor fans.  This looks like a junior HS girls crew trying to ref a men's college game.  And not anti-Mount just general "have you guys ever reffed a game w legit athletes playing?" vibe.

Just dawned on me, following a comment by the UMU announcer...  I wonder, how common is it to have three 1,000 point scorers on the same team, on the floor at the same time? ... Gurley, Parker, and Poole.  (I wasn't aware of Poole reaching the mark, but checked the UMU web page stats.)

 Anderson and LBC were game but just didn't have the athletes to match up with the Raiders. I saw Gurly blow kisses to the crowd after each of his threes. An Iowa player got a technical foul for exactly the same thing in the IU-Mich game this week. No. 30 for LBC was terrific, nearly a one-man gang.

It's not unheard of. Probably 2-3 schools in any given year do and I've even seen four 1,000-point scorers.

Very impressive game from that kid.  Their big kid played well too.  Those two pretty much carried them.

I like how many different players stepped up for Mount at different points in the game. They were all key moments as well. Big 3s, steals, rebounds, defensive stands, but my favorite was when Newsom airballed a 3, Gurley hustled and jumped out of bounds to save it for a 3 pointer (can't remember who made it) and it put Mount up by 6 points to really maintain that gap when LBC was pushing. This was the intensity that you need to win these games and put teams away. Even the 'bad' fouls were aggressive plays that a coach is usually okay with. Every game from here on out is TOUGH, and you better treat it that way or your done.
