Andre Evans not there is a huge blow for Olivet (IMHO).  I know that he has always been a bit up and down (really good games and reall poor games), but it sure seemed that when they had big wins, he was always part of it.  I mean going to play the Comets, you know MM is going to hurt you, but Evans was someone I was always concerned about, cause if he had a good game, it was going to be a big problem.  Tough to make an adjustment to that kind of loss for your team mid-season.

I noticed Olivet's JV team is also getting thin.  I counted a total of seven players.  Late in the game one got hurt and one fouled out.  That leaves no substitutes.  So what happens when another player gets 5 fouls and there is nobody left to put in?

You get a sort of "my team is on the floor" situation.

Heard a story about a high school team in Indiana last week that lost by 4 points in 5 overtimes.  The amazing part was that they finished the game with only 2 players on the floor, as everyone else had fouled out of the game!

I hope they played zone defense...

They may have played man to man and man and man.

Olivet gained an advantage with having a later start to their 2nd semester.   They were able to play Evans the first week of the league season with a player they knew would be ineliglible.  Evans had 19 points in 38 minutes in a 2 point win over Adrian on Jan. 8.  Adrian would have a great chance to be 3-0 if Olivet had played without Evans.

We Calvin fans have felt the brunt of Andre Evans' potential when they drubbed us last year at Olivet, but I also have noticed certain things lacking in what you would expect on the court in the area of leadership from your floor general.  More than anything, I feel bad for Michael McClary, a truly great MIAA player who has had this disruption right in the middle of his senior season. 

I have always been impressed by Joe Post though, actually named him to my personal 3rd team all MIAA roster last year.  I would not be be at all surprised if Olivet actually emerges as a better team if they can fight through this adversity and disruption.  Look for Post's minutes and role in the offense to increase even further (I realize he is already a starter), and I think this will ultimately help Olivet.  Don't write them off yet.

I've also noticed he's doing better at staying on his feet this year. Less of a scarecrow. He used to be all over the place.

I agree that in the long run this may make Olivet a more consistant team.  Unfortunately the price they have to pay for that (x number of games adjusting to these changes) may be a pretty high price.
