DePauw will be Calvin's toughest challenge to date, according to Massey--who also says that with Howard Payne out, DePauw is the highest-rated remaning team.

As we've seen so far in this tournament, I think we can just throw out all the rankings/ratings.  Anyone can in this year.

A big thanks and tip of the hat to everyone at d3hoops for the all the broadcasts being provided. All the announcers I've listened to have done an excellent job and have conveyed the excitement of the games to the listener very well. I'm really impressed.

It's my "hope" that DePauw reminding you of Hope '06 doesn't extend to the final result of tonight's game.

No doubt Calvin is going to have to be firing on all cylinders tonight to have much of a chance.  Spreading the scoring around has worked well, and especially since the bench is really stepping up.  My biggest worry is still the tendency to have turnovers.  I think Calvin can beat Depauw, but only if they play their best 40 minutes of bball.

A look at the stat sheets for Depauw support realist's statements. Depauw did to Emmanauel what the Tigers have been doing to opponents all year--outshooting their opponents from the floor and hammering them on the boards. Depauw's combined season statistics show they have shot quite a bit better than their opponents (47% to 37%) and clobbered the opposition by 11 (40 to 29) in rebounding. Those are pretty impressive numbers. Depauw also distributes their minutes all around with an amazing 11 players averaging at least 11 minutes of PT per game (and 8 with at least 15) so don't look for Calvin to tire them out tonight. Like Calvin, Depauw spreads around the scoring with Liz Bondi being Depauw's only double figure scorer at 15.3. In many ways they mirror Calvin's team--a deep team that outshoots and outrebounds their opponent--but with more impressive numbers than Calvin. Calvin also outshot their opponents by quite a bit (45.7% to 34.9%) but didn't outrebound their opponents like Depauw with the Lady Knights gathering only 3 more per game than their opposition. Surprisingly, these two teams had no common opponents this year so it's hard to be sure if Depauw is really a better rebounding team than Calvin or if the Tigers played a weaker schedule. I did see that in last year's tournament game against Hope, the Lady Dutch outrebounded Depauw by a significant margin (52-34) so maybe Depauw didn't see as many good teams as Calvin did this year (maybe a Hope poster who saw last year's game can weigh in). But all in all, it seems the Lady Knights have their work cut out for them. Unfortunately, I'll be gone tonight without internet access and won't get back until very late so I won't be able to follow what's happening. I'm relying on others to give me their take on the game which I'll read later.

Is there a live scoreboard for this game?

Congrats to the Lady Knights.  A really good year for them!

realist

Yes, indeed.  A great year for the women.  They did everything anyone could have expected, and frankly even more.  Losing so much firepower to knee problems at the worst time of the year hurts.  With the way everything was going, and has turned out it could well have been there year.  I don't think we have heard the last from these ladies, but it will be tough to replace a super star like Lisa.

Congratulations to the Knights on another successful season.  And special recognition to coach John Ross, who has now compiled a record of 99-17 (85.3%) in the four years he has coached at Calvin.
