Congratulations to Millikin's Elise Wildman, CCIW Player of the Week.

A couple of interesting things about that: 1) each of this year's five winners so far have been from different teams; on the men's side, Wheaton players have won three of the six weeks. 2) Also, Elise Wildman was named player of the week last year for week 5. Coincidence? Or does she just play really well in mid-December?

Maybe she just REALLY gets into the holiday spirit?!

RogK · December 21, 2009, 06:23:39 PM

Very likely!
She joins Breanna Bohlen and Sarah Peterson as the only CCIW players in double figures for blocked shots and steals so far.

Carthage improved to 8-1 with a 72-65 win over Coe, a pretty good team.
Dani Ripkey and Diana Jacklin provided a lot of the scoring punch in the 1st half.
Rosie Dorn had a big 2nd half and led all with 21 pts.
Next Monday will be a challenge for the Lady Reds, as they confront 9-0 Hope.
Hope has scored 82, 86, 80, 83, 86, 59 (gave up 36), 79, 102 and 70 (gave up 51). Looks like they prefer a fast pace, but have no problem winning a slower game.
Carthage has plenty of scoring ability spread throughout its roster, so who knows how it will turn out.

It will be a good measuring stick for Carthage. Hope is coming off of a 70-51 win over Chicago. All-American Carrie Snikkers (6-3 Sr.) is averaging 12.8 points in just 18.2 minutes per game.

Today's news release on the Carthage web site mentions that a 5'10" forward, Kiki Phillips, has transferred in from D2 Bemidji State's team.
She was a part time (15 min / game) player as a freshman last year and hasn't seen much action this season. Probably is a decent player, though, giving the Lady Reds additional depth.

Just noticed that we have forgotten IWU's Holly Harvey. I believe she alternates at PG with Britt Hasselbring.

RogK · December 23, 2009, 01:57:27 PM

Welcome, OldSchoolHoopsFan,
What you've done with those stats raises a few issues, none of them meant to be criticism :
1. We should include assists and turnovers for forwards and centers.
2. By adding points, rebounds and assists and then subtracting turnovers, those categories are given equal value in the composite result. That could be debatable.
3. I hope no one assumes that those 47 players are the best 47 in the league. They may or may not be. This particular grouping of stats doesn't measure defense, the full range of ballhandling or the impact a player has on team unity.
Anyway, I hope you're a frequent poster. We gain some posters, we lose some.

OldSchoolHoopsFan · December 23, 2009, 02:36:10 PM

Thanks RogK, I could not agree with you more.
1) Wondered myself why ballhandling stats were not included for forecourt players.
2) CUM is just a quick number to use that looks beyond points. There are many sophisticated formulas for comparing values. I just took a simple one.
3) Best point of all. I would not want to hurt anyone's feelings - just having fun with numbers.

Hoosier Titan · December 26, 2009, 11:31:34 AM

Hello all,

Wow, what good stuff here on the site! Thanks for the new insights and analysis.

I'm off in the north of England for a semester's sabbatical and so will have be a remote observer for the spring. As yet we have no Internet in our flat, so this is being written from an Internet cafe.

Please keep the updates and analyses coming, and I'll chip in now and then when I have something to contribute!

Happy Boxing Day to all!

Moser · December 28, 2009, 07:09:34 PM

Halftime in Atlanta:

#3 Hope- 19
#24 Carthage- 17

The stats indicate an ugly first half. Hope shooting 17.6 % (6-34), Carthage shooting 20.7 % (6-29). Neither team has made a 3, Hope is 0-9 and Carthage is 0-4. It appears that Hope's AA center Snikkers is not playing.

Moser · December 28, 2009, 07:43:38 PM

Carthage beats #3 Hope 51-47 at the Oglethorpe Tournament. Looks like Hope really struggled without their All American Carrie Snikkers, but obviously still a big win for Carthage and the CCIW.

RogK · December 28, 2009, 10:42:37 PM

Judging from the play-by-play and box score, it looks like Carthage got valuable and timely contributions of one sort or another from everybody who got in the game. Congratulations to the Lady Reds.
