My mistake everybody.  The first time I read it I missed the fact that he was talking about a specific year.  I thought he was speaking in general terms.

For whatever it's worth, I didn't realize that the OAC had excised those 7/10 and 8/9 games.   :(:)

Me neither, which is why I looked up the OAC tournament history, I distinctly remember discussions about the 7,8,9, 10 matchups.  I wasn't trying to show anybody up.  Plus I remember the tournament GS was refering to so I just had to look that one up to.

I was a student at Carroll when they made the change from everybody to only the top 8.  I can see benefits of both systems.  If everybody gets in it's a true "second season" where everyone has a chance to make it to the big dance (without looking...I wonder how many 9 or 10 seeds ever ran the table).  With the 8 team system it makes the regular season that much more important.  If you don't take care of business in the regular season you don't get any shot at the tournament.

One thing is for sure, the OAC tournament has often provided me (and many other basketball fans) with some very entertaining (and very surprising) games.

I'm looking forward to seeing the poll when it comes out.

This is an interesting situation.  Last week ONU was 4 and Wooster was 5.  Since ONU lost, it will be interesting to see how ONU and Wooster rank, given that Wooster lost to ONU.

By the way, I posted the same comment in the NCAC thread.  Is it possible to automatically do that.  I thought it was OK to do it, since my comment was related to teams in both conferences.

Holy jumpin' cats.... :o

David -- don't get too excited....yet. :)

The Berg still has 4 very tough road games left on their schedule -- ONU, B-W, JCU and CAP!

Everyone keeps saying this about Heide and yet all they do is keep proving everyone wrong!  After all, this is a team that was picked 8th in the preseason OAC poll ahead of just MUC and Marietta!  I keep waiting for the clock to strike midnight too, but the Student Princes just keep finding a way to make time stop! :)

With a look at the upcoming road games for the Berg however, time may be running out for them.

Toph

Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  I don't care if it was at home, beating BW is HUGE for the Berg (ask JCU about beating BW at home)!  If things keep going like this there is no chance that I miss that Princes at Streaks matchup on the 7th!  It is worth noting that Carroll was down by 16 at the half against Mount...quite the comeback.  When does Heidelberg start getting looks in the top 25? :o

This week, I think, if they beat Wilma.  They won't crack the top 25, but they'll get some support, say 30 votes or so.

Maybe they don't want the recognition.  They seem to be doing just fine flying under the radar. 8)

If you've got a coin handy, you can just flip that.  Might clear things up a bit.   ;)
