Massey has Hope as a 4-5 point favorite (65% chance of winning) for the conference title showdown at Van Noord this afternoon.

Can Calvin keep turnovers under control? The knights had 21 of them in their earlier victory against Hope and 34 in their loss -- 9 more than the high in other games this season. Calvin's 48 points that game were a season low.

Or will Calvin's defense be able to repeat what it did to Hope in the first meeting, leaving them gassed and with only 20 points to show for the first half of play?

At the 10 min mark they are both holding Hope to a possible 18 pt half, and are looking at 36 TO for the game...

From my viewing of the online stream, that appears to be the strategy. Calvin is pushing the tempo quite a bit. More possessions will lead to more turnovers but I suspect John Ross is willing to accept the tradeoff. Creative and gutsy; we'll see if it works.

That delay was a mystery to me too.

Close... 23 at the half, with a pace for 3o TO for the game...

If Hope can shoot a little better in the second half, they may have a chance to get back in this. Calvin has been lights out.

Based on the two previous meetings, Hope has to have a better 2nd half than both of those games. If they match either, they'll lose by 1. But if they score their better second half score and hold Calvin to their lesser second half score, they win by 1.

They better keep these two teams FAR apart in the NCAA tourny.

It takes a 13-2 start to the second half for the Knights before Morehouse calls a timeout? ???

Is that confidence??? I don't get it. This is a deep hole.

I don't get it either. Morehouse is a fine coach but his teams have been so good for so long maybe he's forgotten how to coach when his team is really struggling.

Meanwhile John Ross is calling his second timeout in the last couple of minutes in an effort to blunt the Hope comeback.
