Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving.

^^^Just looked at the Pfeiffer schedule. They beat Lynchburg by six points, lost to H-SC by 13.

In addition to today's game vs Guilford, which is likely to be a high scoring affair, Pfeiffer will also play VWU on Saturday and Averett at the end of December. Though not ODAC, they also have two games scheduled with CNU, plus a couple of exhibitions vs D1 schools (Longwood and High Point). If nothing else, they should have a solid D3 non-conference NPI.

For fans like me, who don't subscribe to ESPN+ and won't do so just for one game, there is now at least an option to listen: https://rmcathletics.com/news/2025/11/25/espn-richmond-radio-announces-coverage-of-football-playoff-matchup.aspx

Quote from: Tigerfan on November 23, 2025, 08:26:39 PMThe ODAC was 9-4 over the weekend.  Saturday was a little rough at 5-4, but Sunday was 4-0.

That brings the ODAC non-conference record to 36-18, which is very respectable.

Quote from: Tigerfan on November 23, 2025, 01:02:36 PMThanks!  We've got more comfortable seats and a multi-media experience with the new sound system and computer screen scoreboards.  I looked briefly at the Flo video later in the evening, and I like the multi camera angles that are available now. There looked like a glitch at halfcourt, maybe when cameras were switching.  There's also a learning curve in production as to when to switch cameras.  During game play, most of the scoreboard is occupied by a video feed of the action - which seems rather irrelevant.  I'd rather see more stats, but who's looking at the scoreboard during play?  All in all, its a sweet setup.

That camera glitch at half court was both weird and interesting, kind of like the players and refs were entering and exiting a portal between dimensions.

Webster downs University of the Ozarks for the second time this season. The first meeting, at Ozarks, was a 12 point Webster win, but yesterday the Gorloks cruised. After trailing by one point with 7:22 left in the first half, Webster went on a 26-2 run to lead 51-28 at the half. Final was 96-69. The Gorloks went 17-18 from the free throw line. Other shooting stats were also impressive.

^^^ I saw the final 7-8 minutes of the first half. Man, the remake of the gym looks fantastic!

^^^Enjoy your stop in the COTU.

I see the Panthers won this game, but it doesn't appear on the SLIAC men's basketball schedule. UPDATE: The game and result have been added to the SLIAC Men's Basketball schedule.

Last night's Webster vs Concordia game was declared final with 7:54 remaining due to unsafe court conditions. Webster was leading 75-58 and thus gets the win. The court was very slippery and players were having a hard time keeping their footing. Multiple attempts to deal with moisture in places all over the court weren't successful. I suspect the recent rain and high humidity was the culprit. Hopefully, now that the sun is out and humidity likely to decline, this afternoon's games will go off without a hitch. Would probably be a good idea to turn up the AC in the gym to help lower the humidity, just in case. I'm sure the players will like the cooler (and drier) conditions -- and the fans can just leave their coats on if necessary.

In yesterday's first game at Grant Gym, Westminster downed University of the Ozarks 63-58.

Quote from: y_jack_lok on November 15, 2025, 11:12:52 PMRMC with a strong second half, turning an 11-point halftime lead into a 35-point win over Yeshiva 92-57. I wasn't able to watch the entire game live, but what I did see live was blurry and choppy. Then when I went to the replay and watched from the begining it was the same way. I hope there's a remedy for that.

Whatever was causing the problem with the Yeshiva game stream appears to have been resolved, as tonight's women's game vs Mary Washington was crystal clear.

On the ODAC men's side, Lynchburg gets a win over Geneva tonight up in Pittsburg. Nine ODAC teams in action tomorrow.

All three ODAC teams -- W&L, Randolph, Shenandoah -- win tonight.

After going 1-3 in games on Sun, Mon, & Tues ODAC teams are now 23-14 in non-conference play.

Three teams in action tonight and one on Friday, before a busy weekend, all of it vs non-conference teams.

Quote from: y_jack_lok on November 16, 2025, 03:06:33 PM^^^ What convinces you?

The part about the decreased quality over the short run.

Okay. Got it. Kind of like imposing tariffs that raise prices, then reducing tariffs to lower prices.

... as the conversation approaches the political ...

 

Sorry about that. I knew I was venturing into political territory, which isn't a good thing here. Will be more careful in the future.
