As expected the Dutch claim the top spot in the latest poll, receiving 11 #1 votes.

Mary Washington had 16 first place which changed hands this week.

#1 Hope +4
#2 Whitewater +6
#3 Howard Payne +3
#4 New York +3

Only 24 poll points separate #1 from #3

The preseason poll has Hope ranked 12th and based on who they have coming back and the entering freshmen (including Michigan's Class B Player of the Year) this ranking is too low. If Hope stays healthy this year they've got the makings of a Final Four team.

It's funny how I can take no particular pleasure in being right.

And maybe even funnier that lots of Hope fans are HOPEing your right about the Final Four

Per Dave Collinge's excellent work on the Daily Dose this is the first time Hope has been ranked #1 during the regular season.

When isn't Hope v. anyone not be a blowout? Unless they can play GVSU they're not going to see anything close to them until the NCAAs; and maybe not even then.

IMO, talent-wise the 2007-2008 Dutch are the best women's hoops team the MIAA's ever seen. Agreed?

I think we're a long way from finding that out.

BEST OVERALL RECORD
33-1 Hope, 2005-06 ==National Champion
31-1 Hope, 2002-03
28-3 Calvin, 2006-07
27-3 Hope, 2001-02
25-3 Hope, 2000-01
24-2 Hope, 1989-90 ==National Champion
24-3 Alma, 1991-92 ==National Champion

There have been some awfully talented women's teams in the MIAA's history.

Does anyone know why Stacy Warsen did not start and has not played?

sac · January 05, 2008, 05:57:58 PM

Hope 81 Trine 58

....not bad for a team that was 3-22 from 3 $:-\$ , no word on Miss Warsen. How do you get 30 more shots at the basket than your oponent (rhetorical, I know how). 84 shots in one game.......thats going to ruin their efficiency rating.

Albion 75 Olivet 66 OT

.....Albion dodges a huge bullet as Olivet makes 1 of 2 FT's with :09 remaining in regulation. Then the Brits dominate the OT.

hope1 · January 06, 2008, 09:05:36 AM

i think she sprained her ankle she was limping pretty good and resting her up for wed night at calvin

The Sentinel blog said she sprained he ankle while "tubing" in Traverse City ..........I would hope that such a smart, intelligent young Hope student was tubing on snow and not water in January.

She was held out of the game in hopes she would be 100% or close to it for Calvin on Wednesday.

Mr. Ypsi · January 06, 2008, 08:38:42 PM

sac,

There are plenty of indoor waterparks in the Traverse City area. But, true, if outdoors, tubing on water this time of year might call for psychiatric intervention!

Wanted to clarify about Final Four tickets for women's final four being held at Hope in March. What is sold out at this point are the reserved seats for Saturday's championship and consolation games. There are about 10 reserved seats left for Friday's two games. At this point there are still quite a few general admission tickets left. Those are not sold out.
