Via Calvin's sports twitter page (@CalvinKnights) the women's game against Trine has been postponed but the men are currently still scheduled to play.

That's too bad.  I was looking forward to a double header today.

Yes unfortunate.  But there is another one on February 13th at 6pm and 8pm.

The difference in the first Hope/Albion game was the play of Colton Overway, esp. down the stretch with he and Ben Gardner making a lot of the plays that ended up being the difference.

Hope will need better production from their big guys today.

when did this happen?

Also, what was up with the flagrant foul on Calvin.  Must have happened when I checked the Hope score.

Wow; I should say so. The Scots have now lost to two teams Calvin has beaten.

Not much to say about the Knights win over K except to say that Calvin is just better--and a lot bigger. The interior defense was stifling and relegated the Hornets to mere jump shooting. Trying to play against Kruis without much help goes a long ways in explaining Tyler's double/double by halftime.

Jordan took a shot to eye in the Albion game. A small shiner was evident today.

Also, what was up with the flagrant foul on Calvin.  Must have happened when I checked the Hope score. 

I didn't actually see precisely what happened but the ref indicated Mickey DeVries threw an elbow as he and a Kalamazoo player were juggling for position. Mickey seemed very surprised by the call and none of the players appeared very upset by what had happened so I doubt it was intentional or particularly flagrant. Elbow flying has been a point of emphasis for officials the last couple of years--even if there is no contact.
