Anyone else think it's a bit ridiculous to split your vote?  Never heard of that.
I guess I don't see the problem, just last year there were conference co-champions.  There have been numerous ties for 2nd as well.  Sure, it's not usual for a coach to vote that way but since conference ties happen all the time, I don't see why a coach can't predict that.

Never said a coach can't do that, just thought it was odd.

My old brain is telling me it has been done in the MIAA before, think it was on the men's side - just can't seem to find anything to support that memory.

I know nothing of Lakeland so can't give a prediction, but Calvin will be down a bit compared to recent years.  Kind of goes without saying when you lose a once in a lifetim eplayer like Carissa Vrkaik.  But they lost a ton of talent not just Verkaik, especially in the front court.  As a result of that, their coach has said they will play a more up tempo game this year.  Guard Engelhard is one of the top returning players.  They will be very solid, but in my opinion not at the elite level of the past few years,

The Hope record is 118 against Tri-State in 2005

44 turnovers is....a lot

North Central plays the Grinnell "system" I'm pretty sure. Looks like it backfired tonight.

Almost forgot Tuesday is the Hope at Calvin game already, and just a week later Hope plays at Olivet.  Big week for the Dutch.

Was at the game, could have been much worse.  First time I've seen a system team, can't see how it would ever work against a team with decent players and good coaching.  Hard to tell too much from the Dutch's opening weekend other than they are very balanced and quite deep.

How would you compare them to last year from what you have seen already?
