Well wasn't this just the longest week of the season?

Thank goodness Friday has arrived.  Time for some hoops.

Go Hope, goodluck Calvin..

159 min 58.3 seconds, dren, but point taken

Actually Calvin was ahead in the first game in the very beginning and the 3rd game in the very beginning when it was 2-0..

[sac]

Well Calvin/Hope II proved that all that matters is who's ahead at the end.

Almost forgot, I've created an updates page for Great Lakes teams.  Lets try and keep the conference pages clean.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a link to the realtime scoreboard at DeVos, I'm not sure if they'll do the Calvin/LaCrosse game.

A little over an hour to go until gametime....I'm going to Les Mis in Philly tonight with my gf...So this means I'll be calling friends for updates during intermission (and possibly text messages during the show)
I am already all set to go with HOPEFULLY listening to the game tomorrow night online...then next weekend I'm HOPEFULLY looking forward to a roadtrip to Holland or Wittenberg...
EITHER WAY...I'm looking for two MIAA victories tonight....and I think that is what will happen.
CALVIN 72  LAX 67
HOPE 85 WL 64

one game at a time (as I make future plans)...........GO HOPE!

knightstalker:
You are indeed correct!  I've been accused of having been quilty of that many times by many people in past years!

sac:
Thanks for your efforts on that (also, thanks for your occasion humor! )

Well when folks arrive at DeVos tonight some are going to think ol' Sac is crazy.........the ladder is gone.

Lol... I'm telling you, it was for the MIAA Tourney Champ cutting down the nets thing I'm sure they did.

It wouldn't make sense for them to leave it out right now, since they might host the sectionals.

D3ball:  Right on.  Calvin and Hope in hockey play Arizona, Georgia etc. etc etc etc. etc  y'all get the point.
Tneim:  Thanks for cheering for Calvin.  One honest Dutchman.
I have held off on making this comment, but if Hope does go on to win it all us Calvin fans can at least say we were the last team to beat them!!  In the years Calvin won no one in the MIAA could make that claim. 
Well, like the t-shirt says: "If your'e not Dutch, your'e not much".
I really expect Hope to blow WLC out big time, and they won't have to play the starters much to do it.  Hope goes in the "zone" early and everything bounces their way.

[realist]

Sac:  "Blowouts in the NCAA are rare".  In 92 (in  the final 4) Calvin played a team NJCS (New Jersy City State), and they were impressive during warmups.  Calvin wins by something like 40 points.   More recently look at back to back games.  Calvin versus Wooster, and Calvin versus Mc Murry in 00.  Both of these qualify as blowouts, and if memory serves correct Wooster comes in @ 3 and Mc Muarry @ 4 in the country.  Upsets, and blowouts are part of the NCAA.
