a little short on guards.  Schaeffer and Jones quite capable at the point. 

Pretty sure Schaeffer played point for most of his career.  He did have over 400 assists. 

Congrat to Desmond Young on 1st team all region.  He joins Brian Shaffer as the only 2 players in Adrian College history to be named 1st team all great lakes.

Any updates on the coaching situation at Adrian?

Michael Stanley- 15.0 ppg,5.15 assists, 80% ft, 45% fg,3.1 rebounds, 34 % 3pters, 12 steals
Caleb Veldhouse- 12.0ppg, 2.75 assists, 71% ft, 33% fg, 30% 3pters, 3.2 rebounds, 3 steals

I mean is this even a debate.  Stanley should be on 1st team but his team didn't win enough games.  But him not even being on 2nd team is just a joke.  Veldhouse at best is a borderline 2nd teamer.

it schould be a good game saturday night at calvin hope played really good tonight jessse had a off night hope he is saturday at least  hope used the bech most of the 2nd half and calvin played there starters the whole game hope might be able to tire calvin out in the game. calvin was hot in the first half hope has to shut calvin 3 pointers off with tuff defensve

Calvin had 2 guys play 26 mins. There starters played between 22-26 mins. I do not think fatigue will be a factor tommorow night

As an Adrian fan, I couldnt be more excited about the matchup the Bulldogs drew.
I think the Adrian/Albion rivaly is a heated one, and Adrian has had success this year winning on the Brits floor (with Yancey playing)

I think if Adrian can play consistent D and boxes out, this is a game they can definitely win.

Just a question for anyone at the Albion/Alma game...

It appeared from the boxscore that Cruse and Stasiak didnt play.  Are they hurt?? Discipline??

Can anyone out there shed some light!!


Go DAWGS!!!

Maybe Coach Sklar and coach Sovis should worry about the Brits instead of posting on this website. 

yeah, good time to point out there is a posts history......

Sac,
where is the post history?

Massey's MOV-based ratings for the last few years:

	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009*

Olivet	128	226	327	156	168
Trine	93	144	137	198	296

*To 2009-02-17

Note that the whole league is pulled up if teams do well in the NCAA tourney. I'd take the 2005 results with a grain of salt since two teams went far. For this year, inter-league comparisons are based exclusively on pre-conference games; if the conference has strengthened as a whole that won't show up until the post-season. Watch for this year's rankings for all conference teams to climb if an MIAA team makes a good run.

In 2005 the MIAA finished as the 4th-strongest conference. Currently it's something like 17th.

According to these numbers, 2005's worst team would be #4 in the conference this year.

I wouldn't take that with a grain of salt........2005 was an ultra-competitive year in the MIAA.  That Adrian team that finished 4th was very good.  I thought then there were 4 teams talented enough to do well in the NCAA's.

Jeff Nokovich, Brian Schaffer, Adam Novak, Mike Lewis, Billy Collins.......that was a pretty good starting 5.  They beat Albion and Hope, as well as lost close games to Hope again and Calvin.


Adrian had the best starting 5 in the leage for 2 years in a row with that group but Buck messed it up and split them up for about 10 games in 2005.  They had the best point gaurd in the league in nockovich, the best player in the league in shaffer, best offensive rebounder in novak, best defensive rebounder in Lewis and Collins was one of the best scorers in the league.  Those were probably the best 2 years in Adrian History but Buck couldn't put it all together to win the league. 

Calvin over Alma 4
Hope over Albion 3
Adrian over kzoo 2
Trine over Olivet 1

Calvin over Trine 4
Hope over Olivet 3
Adrian over Albion 2
Kzoo over Alma 1

Notes of the Olivet/Adrian game. 

Olivet tried to give this game away.  They outplayed Adrian for about 35 mins and Adrian made a late run and had 2 chances to tie at the end but came up short.  Adrian isn't going to win many games witih Desmond Young playing like he did tonight. He had 17 tonight but many were late. He has a little bit of Billy Collins in him meaning that when he isn't scoring he doesnt do anything else for his team.  He doesn't get enough rebounds for how big and strong he is and he doesn't get enough assists for how much attention he draws on the offensive end.  I do not want to sound like i am bashing Desmond but if he wants to win MVP he can't be a one dimensional player. 
This was a game Adrian should of won at home but dug themselves too big of a hole.  Hopefully the bulldawgs can bounce back on saturday.  They are still in the haunt for the 3rd or 4th seed.   

Trine vs Hope 4
Kalamazoo vs Calvin 3
Ablion vs Alma 2
Olivet vs Adrian 1

Adrian gave a great effort on saturday but Hope was just is the better team when it counted.  I also agree with another poster about why Buck Riley was fouling in that situation.  Have some confidence in your defense.  If they get a stop right there, you have a chance for the win with 10 seconds left.  Poor decision by the coaching staff of Adrian.  It seemed like a decision that would be made in a high school game not in college with the shot clock. 

Desmond Young was great once again for the bulldawgs.  If this kid would of came as a freshman, he would have a chance at being the all time leading scorer in school history.  I still think he will end up in the top ten all time which is great for only playing 3 years.

Some thoughts from the DeVos tonight:

*  Heads up to the Alma team - it's not High School anymore - during player introductions please go to mid-court and shake hands with your opponent, not the officials!!

*  A curious question, does #5 for Alma, Shaun Gordon, live in a bank?  His hometown is listed as National City!   

*  Once again, the Alma Coach, Terry Smith, provided my seatmate with some interesting answers to the question, "How would you describe Alma's coach?" Responses were, Mild mannered, calm, quiet, reserved, introverted, disinterested, wishy-washy, quiet, shy, and timid.  (PLEASE NOTE - THE ANSWERS WERE VERY SARCASTIC!!)

*  0.3 seconds left on the clock in the first half, Alma has the ball, and #21's eyes are bigger than saucers, the slam/jam move is all his!!! But hold it ladies and gentlemen, shot-clock violation, and the basket is NO good!  Put the tongue back into the mouth, stop flexing and chest pumping, but rather, its time to get back on "D" - bummer for him.

*  Another curious question, did #12 by any chance transfer from Judson College? His play very much mirrored that team's play which called for the paramedics to be on the sidelines!

*  And..... the "early" Academy Award for best *FLOP* of the season goes to #23. Must have been watching night film!

*  And with just 6:57 left in the game, I realized that there were only 2 officials on the floor. We did notice that Dave Joppe was limping quite badly at the end of the first half.  Never saw if he twisted it, or stopped funnyon it, guess it must just be attibuted to getting old!!

*  Word that was passed in our section was Olivet has now set a precedent:  ALL MIAA teams must now win at the VanNoord!!!

*  And a HUGE assist to Ty Tanis for dishing the ball to Nathaniel King for a 2 point lay-up. Now that was totally team!

*  Lastly.... 2390 at the DeVos and 2021 in Grand Rapids, hmmmmmmm.....

As someone already stated, "We have a race folks." Nicely put!

GoHope...Could you sound anymore  arrogant?  You give Hope posters a bad name.  You don't even have enough respect to use names.  There is a world outside of Holland Michigan.  Maybe try to leave your bubble once in a while. 

A coouple things we learned tonight

1. Trine is the worst team in the league
2.  Trine is the softest team in the league. 
3. Trine misses Tony Benford alot. What actually happened with him?
4.  Olivet will be a tough out in the tournament. 

Good victory for AC tonight.  Good luck against Hope on Saturday
