It appeared to be a more complete victory than the final score indicated with a 20 point lead for much of the second half.  It seems that T J Huizinga and Daley are getting more playing time.  It sounded as if Mast also had some effective play the first half.  Any idea of the status of Kyle McDonald?

If tonight proves anything it is the point our "friend" Sac has made several times that you can't be "to tall or to deep at tall".  6'3"; 6'3"; 6'7"; 6'8"; 6'9" is simply going to be too much for most teams to handle, especially when you are bringing in 6'6",and 6'9, and 6'+to replace them.

In addition to the Calvin win, Albion edged Spring Arbor 51-50 so the MIAA went 2-0 tonight. In out-of-region news, No. 5 Wheaton was upset by unranked Loras 74-73.

Hard to find many negatives in the box score for Calvin. Turnovers were a bit high, but I still really like the Jordan Daley-as-starting-PG thing.

Two-thirds of Calvin's shot attempts were classified as layups in the box score play-by-play data. They'll be tough to beat if teams let them shoot from up close.

Nitpicking here, but Tyler Kruis needs to cut it out with the mid range jump shots. I don't mind an occasional three ball from him, but the two-point jumpers aren't going to be a net positive for the offense.

"Progress is electricity, school consolidation, church remodeling, second farm tractors." Losing by 14 to #17 Calvin. Lost by 42 last year.

Albion 51 Spring Arbor 50

fun finish, this 3 point shot was Albion's 4th lead of the night and its biggest.  I'm guessing the technical was some kind of celebration thing.  Takes some brass ones to call something like that in that situation.

Last 3 ptr was by Eric Evans not Lawrence.  Whoever was on live stats was wrong!  The bad part of the technical: it wasn't called until the coach from Spring Arbor complained about it. The officials then took several minutes to discuss it as both teams had a free timeout in their huddles.  You could have several timeouts and it would still be too difficult to go the length of the floor in less than a second.  The officials called this technical after the fact.

Did not see MacDonald on the gym.  Nice start for Daily.  When AU stepped up the pressure, Parks seemed a little more at ease.  KVS mentioned Brink getting the rust off.  I didn't see any rust. Tyler Dykstra handled a couple alley-oop passes with ease and was very acrobatic.  DeVries played really hard and contolled the boards.

I didn't watch the game but I just don't see Jordan Daley as the long term solution at point. I noticed during the post game chat that KVS spoke well of Austin Parks' ability to find teammates open on back door cuts that helped break the back of Anderson's defense and build an insurmountable lead for Calvin. The box score shows both Daley and Parks played 19 minutes with Daley getting 2 assists and 5 turnovers, while Parks had 5 assists and only 1 turnover. Don't be surprised if Austin gets the nod at point this weekend.

I agree.  Parks has the tools to be a competent, and potentially excellent, point guard.  He needs to improve his decision-making abilities and grow his confidence in his ball-handling skills.  Daley will be valuable getting minutes at two or three different positions, but I think he will struggle if he's the primary guy bringing the ball up the court.

I think the biggest driver right now is defense. Parks struggled mightily in that respect in the Ferris game, but Daley has been able to hold his own. Either way, which ever ends up as the nominal starter, we're apparently talking basically a 20-20 minute split (+/- two minutes).

What's the line on the COF vs Grace game this weekend?

sac

Franklin 64  Adrian 53

Adrian managed just 3 assists on the night.  Statistically this game was even everywhere except at the FT line where Franklin made 12 more.

Eric Lewis did not register in the LiveStats, obviously a major missing piece for the Bulldogs.
