.......time to get with the times Hope and Calvin. 

How are they gonna fill those big arenas if people can stay home and watch the games?

Trine's playing zone defense against the Stars. Did they play zone much last year?

Appears the livestats are frozen (like the weather in Michigan and Chicago  )... Video shows Dominican leading 36-28 at halftime.

Try clicking  on team stats, then look for the '2nd period' link....for some reason that works.

all tied at 60 with 2 min to go.

Dominican and Trine are now in second overtime.

I should've braved the weather and gone to this one!

[Gregory Sager]

Triple overtime!

[Gregory Sager]

Trine won in triple OT, 94-92. Deon Thompson of Trine made a layup with :18 left to give the Thunder a 92-89 lead; Dominican's Kevin Blackowitz hit a trey with :12 left to tie it; Scott Rogers made a layup with :04 left to put Trine back up on top; and DU's Jovan Turley missed a layup at the buzzer that would've sent the game into a fourth overtime.

It was something to watch on video. Wish I'd have been there, though.

Greg,

My laptop's battery went dead at the start of the third OT, so I had to resort to following the game via livestats on my blackberry ... How close was the shot to falling and sending the game to a fourth OT?

Thanks sac for the tip to view the livestats ... I left the power cord to the laptop at the office today ... I need to get an extra to have here at home in case I forget one at the office!

The Bible Tigers of Grace (student enrollment, 190) dismantled Cornerstone last night 82-68 at Mol Arena. Calvin's opening game loss--by almost the identical score--is looking less and less disappointing.

For a city of less than 200,000 people, Grand Rapids has a pretty impressive resume for small-college men's basketball.

I think you aren't using the proper census data. The MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) for Grand Rapids, according to 2008 census estimates, is 778,833. The CSA (Combined Statistical Area - which would include Holland up to Muskegon) is 1,324,513, making it the 32nd largest in the US, right behind Louisville but ahead of cities such as Buffalo, Oklahoma City, and New Orleans.

The Trine game was fun to watch, and follow on live stats whenever my video feed froze up.

I know rankings are meaningless and teams may not always be as strong as previous teams but.... Wheaton loses to Wash U by 2?  Calvin and Hope make some adjustments and don't overcoach too much , they may find themselves in Salem come March

Calvin has never had a problem with being over-coached and the word "adjustments" is not in the vocabulary.

I think I am. According to the 2000 U.S. census, the population of Grand Rapids was 197,800, and the estimated population as of last year was 193,396.

So far the two mens games are still on for tonight.  The Hope/Trine women's game tonight has been postponed again to Friday.  Which means there will be some form of a triple header at DeVos with the Holland Sentinel Tournament taking place in the evening.

sac,

The rescheduled women's game Friday is AT Trine ... On Saturday, the Flying Dutch host Olivet at 7 p.m., so there will be a tripleheader then!

I think you aren't.  GBC actually rests in the City of Wyoming. So if you are going to use the figures of only the city, then you would have to seperate them out by each city, in which case GBC's city population is 69,368.
