I'm familiar with Jacques Maritain, but I had no idea what he looked like (and the URL of his pic contained no clues as to who he was). And it's more of a written pun than a verbal pun, since his name's pronounced (roughly) "MARE-ee-ton".

Gene Gifford being fired is a traveshamockery and I lost a lot of respect for Olivet Athletics upon hearing this news last night.  He deserves much better treatment and the basketball program that he winds up coaching for in the future will be lucky to have him.

Is there seriously not a LIVE VIDEO STREAM of this game?? What's the deal with that? It would really be nice to be able to watch a great rivalry like this one and not have to drive across the country to see it.

A lot of Hope and Calvin fans (and other fans) share your sentiment.

Logan!, maybe that brings your touch back!

Current areas of concern for Hope:

Rebounding = Calvin 16-7 advantage (9 offensive)

FT Shooting = 3-7, 42.9%

Two areas that may not be a downfall tonight, but the last few games have been negatively trending for Hope and will hurt them at some point in the NCAA tourney if they don't fix

[section7]

11 1/2 minutes in --- Trine 7 points

Adrian in SHUTDOWN mode, despite one trip down the floor where Trine drew 4 straight fouls on Adrian

[KnightSlappy]

9 Turnovers really needed to be a game total.

[section7]

Difference in the game from a stats standpoint - Hope 5-9 from 3 point land (Krombeen 4-5)

Current areas of concern for Hope:

Rebounding = Calvin 16-7 advantage (9 offensive) - Updated 19-15 at half

FT Shooting = 3-7, 42.9% - Updated 4-9, 44.4% at half

Two areas that may not be a downfall tonight, but the last few games have been negatively trending for Hope and will hurt them at some point in the NCAA tourney if they don't fix

Well, if Ian Jackson was hoping to build his case for 1st team All-MIAA during the MIAA Tournament, the 1st half at Adrian has not helped him ------16 minutes played, 0-2 from field, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls

Good job FDF!

I believe you're pretty close FDF.  The only little disagreement I might have is Ian Jackson.  When playing against Trine, coaches needed to prepare to stop Ian. When coaches have to prepare to stop someone, they usually vote for them.  The very same thing happen to Cruise from Albion last year.  His performance last year wasn't anywhere close to being a first teamer compared to the 09/10 season, but coaches had to practice stopping him.  If coaches have to concentrate and prepare to stop a player, they will usually vote for them.

Also, I don't buy the arguement of not putting players on the all-league team because their team did not make the league tourney.  If the MIAA/Coaches wanted to take that into consideration they would wait till the tournament was over to vote.  This is a All League Team, not an All Tournament Team.  That is why I think you're going to find FDF's choices very, very close to being right down the line!

11 unanswered by Trine to open the 2nd half.......

[hoopdreams]

this Hope game reminds me of the St.  Noberts fiasco of two years ago.  Bunn looks awful yet continues to play major clock.  It's too bad Hope doesn't have any depth in the backcourt.  Fortunately for the home team, Calvin still cannot defend Krombeen after  4 years and about 15 games playing against him.  Welcome back Logan!!!! Good to see...

20-5 in the 2nd half for Trine, they have taken the lead

Agree HDreams, this is far from over

it's a good thing none of the hope faithful took those 2 "off" games too seriously last week, otherwise this place would be pretty quiet right now with lead cut to 8...oh wait.  Hope plays, Hope wins !!!!! because Powell doesn't recognize that he's shooting incredibly bad tonite and snikkers cant make a FT

LOGAN WITH A DAGGER!!!!
