I'm not sure College of Faith even qualifies on the basis of being a "four-year, degree-granting institution". I suppose they do in that they can provide four years of course material and hand out a piece of paper at the end but they are not accredited. What's stopping me from doing the same and calling myself a college?

From the COF website:
"The most important accreditation comes from our faithfulness to the Word of God and our obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit."

put that in your pipe and smoke it, can't argue with that.  Better keep the stats.

Amazing - the University of Taliban website has identical wording about its accreditation! 8-)

I have to say that I'm not unsympathetic to this view. The accreditation game is a self-referential one that serves the accreditation agencies and virtually no one else. I would like to see a lot of colleges opt out of it. But federal money keeps them from doing so.

Calvin 98 Anderson 56.

The game wasn't as close as the final score indicates. Fans blinked twice and Calvin was up 25. At half the Knights were 25-40 from the floor (with almost all scoring in the paint) and they outrebounded Anderson 30-11. The Knights jumped on the visitors from the opening tip and were just too big, strong and fast for the visitors from the Hoosier state. Tough opening game for Owen Handy in his first game as head coach. KVS emptied  his bench with 11 minutes left. I don't know if I've ever seen him do that before.

Interesting that Calvin scored 98 with 55 rebounds and no single player had more than 13 points or 8 boards. They did a really nice job of sharing the ball (30 assists!)

Overheard while leaving the Van Noord tonight, this Poe-tic echo:

On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'


'Nuff said.

42 of Calvin's 54 first half points were in the paint.  Their 18 assists in the first half included a great pass up to the rim by Brink for the Dykstra dunk. 

It is encouraging to see Calvin start the game with a lot of energy.  They never really backed off all night.  The Anderson players were gassed halfway through the first half.  Calvin's second five really pushed the ball and took advantage of Anderson's lack of depth.

Dark birds, dark words.

Anderson is in for a long year, I suspect. Calvin was able to pick them clean with a variety of screens, rolls, basket cuts, and making the extra pass. If anything, they were too unselfish with the ball at times. On the other end of the floor, Calvin defenders cut off every Anderson advance and the Ravens were forced to mostly chuck up three pointers and long-range jumpers. And when they missed, Calvin cleaned up the glass.

The most impressive thing was that the Calvin player never took their foot off the gas or allow their play to deteriorate. They played the team game the whole way and looked dang good doing it.

Tonight's Calvin game was the most complete game I have seen them play within memory.  Shot selection was outstanding and probably the most important point.  But they also totally dominated the boards, the defense, and the passing, too.  Although the victory was clearly over an out-manned and overwhelmed young team, they did it consistently until they had a few lapses with the last players off the bench.  Even the last players to enter the game played well offensively.

Clean sweep for the league tonight.
In addition to Calvin's beat down of the Anderson Ravens, Adrian handles Siena Heights 62-40 and Olivet hangs on for its first win of the season in Kentucky, beating Union College 83-80.

Olivet's win was a surprise, though not as big a surprise as Grinnell's Jack Taylor who scored 138 tonight in a win over Faith Baptist. David Larson scored 70 for the losing team.

Rumor has it that Grinnell is trying to schedule the College of Faith. ::)

Grinnell and Faith Baptist combined to average a FGA every 11 seconds!
