To WooMix, show some respect. Wooster is a very,very good D3 team which could win it all. It was both a honor and privilege to play such a talented and well-coached team as Wooster's. It's fans like you which give schools a bad name.

Truce called. I never meant to degrade or lower the abilities of the Milsaps players in the classroom.

Now back to the Tourney. How far does anyone think Centre can go if they continue to play defense like they have. I saw what I thought was a good Transy team goto the final 8? last year. Can Centre make it out of Wooster with two wins?

I think all SCAC fans hope that is the case.

     First off, this is a post to make personal comments which i believe is what i have accomplished. Second, i sympathize with having a brother-in-law that is indirect, i know many like that however, i never implied or directly stated anything about Milsaps poor (if that is the case) academics or the fact that they are all black. In my personal opinion that has nothing to do with academics or athletic ability. You indirectly implied that statement.
     The other parties stated are just common people like myself that know nothing about other colleges academics. The instinctive backlash or defensive nature of your last response tells that you may have some of those comments yourself. A better defense would be to tell of Milsaps great achivements in academics rather than accuse me of negativity towards a college i've admitted of knowing nothing about.

Wow, didn't mean to open a negative outlook on Montgomery and all of the Milsap's players which if you read the my earlier posting I didn't even refer to.

But since you did bring up the academic standards of the Milsaps players which I did not and really do not care, I believe the Centre basketball team has a higer combined GPA than the average at the college and anyone that knows anything about the academics at Centre, that is a very commendable acheivement. Maybe you could share the academic achievements of the Milsaps players, I'm sure other parties would be interested. After all I have always been told that the SCAC is academics first, and athletics second.

I was just letting Centre fans know. They will probably not start arriving until around 4:00.

There will be no pre-sale tickets at Centre. Tickets can be purchased starting at 4:00 day of the game. I was told it shouldn't be a problem getting a ticket.

Just wanted to put my two cents in on POTY. I think the POTY should not only commend a player for his play on the court but also the way he handles himself on the court and off. On the court I have never seen Nestheide argue with a ref over a call or no-call or talk back to his coach. Not seeing Montgomery play all year, I know I am not an expert but the few times I have seen him play, I have seen him argue with refs (resulting in a tech. foul in the Hendrix game) and defy his coach when he came to the bench. Nestheide also was chosen to be on the Dist 4 All-Academic team but once again I cannot comment on Montgomery.

I guess what I am trying to point out Matt Nestheide represents the SCAC conference in a positive way in everything he does. once again I am not so sure about Montgomery. 

Woule welcome any comments.

I do not want to come between the two of you but I was only stating the obvious. The fouls were one-sided (in favor of Depauw), Centre did shoot around 52% but they have shot just slightly under 50% all year so I would not call that burning down the nets and finally with respect to Depauw shooting 28% from the field, Centre has been doing that to teams all year in fact I believe they are in the top 5-10 in points allowed and field goal defense in the nation.

It also might be pointed out in looking at the boxscore, it appears there were 20 fouls called on Centre and only 13 on Depauw!! Hmmmmm!!!

I fairly new to this board but could someone explain to me how DePauw post-season resume is so much better than Centre's. I saw DePauw is now ranked in the top 25 with Centre getting some votes but if you look at the last several games beginning with Centre defeating DePauw by 33, Centre seems to be taking care of opponents (both DePauw and Centre have played the same teams) much easer than DePauw. Would welcome any feedback on this subject.
