MBB: Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association

[Civic Minded]

Albion can't hold a candle to Hope's cuteness. 

Maybe, but I'm willing to trade looks for a certain....morally casual attitude.

And JR three words for you: Miami of Ohio.  Ha-cha-cha-cha.

I'm telling you, go the athletic facility center on campus (I can't remember the name) and you will be floored.  I've never seen so many hot college girls in one place in my life...other than maybe on those videos by Snoop.  But seriously, it's unreal.

John, you're old enough for this to be entering "dirty old man" territory!

Witt has three seniors anchoring the offense and defense.  Two big post players and a 6-4 "wing"

                                  

Daniel Russ 6-9 210         Dane Borchers 6-8 215     Kenny Brady 6-4 205
#55 15.3p 57FG% 6.1R    #45 13p 64FG% 7.6R       #35 11.6p  39%3pt

Be ready for a game that is very much like Hope vs Albion. A slow paced time killing attack that eats the clock every posession.  Witt is the strongest defensive team in the country.   The tigers are leading the NCAA points allowed at 54.3 ppg (#1).  Meanwhile they are holding opponents to 37FG% (#4) and shooting 49FG% (#24) as a team.  They are also dominating the boards with a rebound margin +9.8 (#3) 

A potent offense is nothing Witt hasn't seen after facing in confrence rival Wooster who ranks among the top 5 in the nation in Scoring Offense, Scoring margin, FG%, and 3pt%.  Wooster won both regular season games and lost in the conference tourny.

There is no question that this is a game of tempo.  Whoever controls the tempo will win the game.

Interesting to look at, the three Wooster scores against Witt: 86, 86, 69.

I'm sure you can guess which was the losing score. Hope really wants to get up into the 70s. I'd give us really good odds if we reach 75 or more. Too far down into the 60s probably doesn't bode well. And we all know how ugly something below that (say 59-58) sounds...

Kenny Brady looks like the thug/parolee that used to play for Alma...

Apparently they're taking ticket requests by  phone at DeVos.  You need a credit card.

Its worth a shot if your out of town, not sure how late they're open tonight or hours tommorrow.

It's a pretty nice option - you pay by credit card, and pick-up your tickets at will-call at the host site.  Makes me feel foolish for getting up so early this morning - but what the heck, we had a great conversation for 4.5 hours

You'd better HOPE he is not actually 7'6" (or whatever Andre was)!

My thought (from that particular smile, etc.) was 'Adam Sandler'!
