Any thoughts on the MIAA basketball tournament?

SATURDAY, FEB. 17
Hope at Saint Mary's, 3 p.m.
Albion at Adrian, 3 p.m.
Kalamazoo at Olivet, 3 p.m.
Calvin at Alma, 3 p.m.



Calvin's won two close ones, I see Hope winning the tourney.  Will Calvin get in if they loose again before the NCCA's?

I wouldn't be shocked if St Marys beat the Dutch tomorrow.

Calvin is currently 22-1 and ranked first in the Great Lakes Region (Hope is ranked 5th). If Calvin wins out until the MIAA conference final I can't imagine they would drop so low as to not get an at-large bid to the NCAA. Of course they likely would be matched up against Hope again in the first or second round unless one of the teams got moved out of region for the NCAA's.

What a great effort tonight by Olivet. Very impressive.

I'd say Olivet has two of the top athletes in the MIAA.  Audrey Graham and Kelsey Gordon are as quick, if not quicker, than anyone else I've seen this winter.

Congrats to the knights who finish up the MIAA season a perfect 16-0, just the second time that's been done. (Hope did it last year as well.)

For the second time this week the knights faced a determined, upset-minded team and escaped with a close victory. Last time the knights didn't have much bounce in the step after the strenuous Hope game,  and the knights made only 3 of 16 trey attempts. This afternoon the knights shot pretty well, at .465, but turned the ball over 25 times to an aggressive Alma defense.

The MIAA has several really good teams that are difficult to beat, especially at home. Still, Ross says that the knights' focus needs to be a lot better starting with the conference tournament.

Turnovers will be their doom.

They need to keep turnovers down, work hard on the boards, and hit more 3-point shots. If they can focus and pull it all together, I think they can go far in the NCAA tournament, but if focus doesn't improve, they won't.
