WBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

I hope the selection committee is kind to BW. I want to be able to root for an OAC team. Good luck BW.

jdean,
What does it say about Baldwin-Wallace if a "greatly overrated" (your words not mine) Capital team can go in and win twice in eight days on their home court. You ask that the selection committee be kind to B-W but let's face it they are only .500 in their last four games, not exactly the way you want to enter the Big Dance. Cap on the other hand hasn't lost in a month. Peaking at the right time I hope.
And as for Sara Heitkamp, I'm guessing that every other finalist for the Josten's Trophy (like Sara is) carries the bulk of the load for their teams as well. Don't disparage the Crusaders just because they have the best player in the league and the others on the team know their role, do their jobs, and win. Great team effort by the Crusaders today. On to the NCAA's.

Sakes alive, Capital does have more than one fan. I was
wondering how low I'd have to go, how many more
manufactured insults I'd have to throw out here to get somebody, anybody to come on and support Cap.

Now that you've registered and posted here Moose, come back and bring other Cap supporters. It can be fun in the post-season when fans of the opposition
get into friendly banter. Enjoy and good luck with the tournie, Cap.

jdean,
"Banter" makes it sound like you have something intelligent to say. I don't really know who you support, nor do I care; but instead of focusing so much negative energy on who you aren't but would love to be (an NCAA tournament team like Cap) maybe try helping out your girls Durand or (EZ) Suzy (whoever your allegiance lies with) as an extra set of eyes scoping out prospects for the future at high school tournament games. God knows they can use the help.

William Smith faces Baldwin Wallace in the NCAA second round. WEOS will have the game live at 6:00PM on air and at www.weos.org/live.html

BW won by 6 and based on the box score Cap ran into a buzzsaw and lost handily. At halftime Hope was shooting nearly 75% and ended with 59%. Both Cap & BW were able to control the boards but they both high TO numbers--24 for BW and 22 for Cap.

Good luck next week BW.

BW had 17 first half TO's...so they didn't do too badly in the 2nd half. Altenweg had a very good game, nailing big free throws down the stretch. Also, Vespa played very well for William Smith. 21 points and 8 assists.

The Road to the Final Four will go through Scranton. Good luck to all teams in this region.

BW went up by as much as 18 in the 2H before their opponent began to chip away, but BW hung on. They apparently have already played both potential Saturday opponents, having beaten one and not the other, so it could be an interesting night.

Washington U. was scary. If Hope & Wash U. played 10 times, I think Wash U would win 7. They were so talented.

Kelly Manning was outstanding. She shoots like Steve Alford as far as being able to get the ball out of her hands quickly. Most women 3 point shooters can't shoot accurately off of a screen, and those who can take an hour to shoot the ball.

I think Wash U underestimated Hope (of course, who didn't?) which allowed Hope to jump out to a big lead early and then hang on for the win. It seemed like Wash had only scouted the starters, and so the Hope bench really gave them fits.
If they had been more prepared, if they really understood how fast Bria was, if Hope hadn't been draining 3s, if Wash U had played better inside, then ...

Of course, there is Dandy Don's sayings to remember:

If "if's and but's were candy and nuts, we'ld all have a Merry Christmas."

Another all-time low to keep this board off of life support:

Giant Eage is having a great sale on semi boneless tailless New York Strip Steaks for $5.99/ lb. And for a snack how about K/ondike Bars, $2.00 for a package of 6. Klondike has so many different varieties of bars and they aren't at all fattening!!!

Next week: exercise videos for the lazy.

A study by the Nat'l Institute for Occupational Safety and Health asserts that women hear better than men and that hearing in the US is no better or worse than it was 35 years ago.
Allen hand syndrome is a neurologial impairment in which
ones hand seems to have a mind of its own and on occasion may attempt to choke its owner to death.

Thanks to one of my tips of sales last week, I've lost ten pounds. Mind you, I didn't say I ate the steaks and Klondikes--I just bought them and occasionally take them out of the freezer and stare at them. Its kind of like a beautiful, young woman--look but do not touch.
