Kind of an Andy Warhol thing, huh?

Carleton 73  St. John's 58

In a story as old as time dating back to the first post on this thread Carleton summons powerful inspiration to retain The Belt^Tm defeating the MIAC's first place team forcing another 3-way tie at the top.

Carleton next hosts St. John's sister St. Mary's on Wednesday

St. Benedict's is St. John's sister college. My wife used to work as a residence hall director there.

Unless you were making a Catholic joke...

It was indeed an attempt at a poor joke, I see I succeeded.

St. Mary's Cardinals 55 @ Carleton Knights 86

Sister St. Mary's are unable to beat the suddenly hot Knights! The Belt^TM has given Carleton resurgence back to MIAC playoff contention. What great powers It^TM has.

Carleton travels with The Belt^Tm to Hamline Saturday.

They are the Pipers .....which is this guy



and reminds me of

[Smitty Oom]

Carleton tops Puss in Boots Pipers and continues to hold on to The Belt^TM!! They have their off day on Monday as the rest of the MIAC plays in a grueling week of M-W-S conference play. Meanwhile, Carleton will be shining and polishing It^TM and getting it ready for the final 7 games of the regular season.

Wednesday the Knights bring The Belt^TM to a very majestic game against the Royals of Bethel University, who has been a very solid team this year. The first meeting Carleton lost in OT in a home game against Bethel. But that game the Knights were not armored with their Baldric^TM

How dare I not use proper grammar when speaking of The Belt^TM. Thanks so much for the correction!

Carleton 69  Bethel 51

Carleton's really taking ownership of this thing^TM to heart and since taking control of The Belt^Tm against St. Olaf by 14 they've rolled off 4 wins by 15, 31, 15 and 18. 

Next up is a home game with Augsburg.


I have used this before and it is still awesome!

Have we finally found a worthy belt holder?  A good team raised to greatness by possession.

It appears so...

Augsburg Auggies 71 @ Carleton Knights 76

The Knights have now won 8 games in a row and make that 5 in a row with possession of The Belt^TM! I love to see a run like this propelled by The Belt^TM. Before they had possession of It^TM, they were sitting at 1-6 in the MIAC, with little to no shot at making the 6 team league playoff. But now, sitting at 9-6 and bringing The Belt^TM home to Northfield after each battle, it seems all but certain they will have a chance to win the MIAC AQ come early March. The run continues on Wednesday as the Knights make the trip up to face the Macalester College Scots.
