In addition to the Live stats not working...the team is once again playing poorly, and the radio announcer could not be worse.  UNBELIEVABLE!  Whose idea was it to ask this guy to broadcast.......terrible.  It is so annoying that I am tempted to let them play without my mental telepathy urging them on!     GO  CALVIN !!!!

does anyone recall Calvin girls getting crushed at Devos a few weeks back?  I still believe Hope to be the far superior team.  They have a chance. 

In reference to Snikkers TO's.....KVS has the stat person charge the PASSER if the Receiver can't handle the pass....I would wager that many if not most of Tom's TO's are a result of a teammates inability to anticipate or react quickly enough to Tom's no-look passes.  In addition.....I'm sure a number of TO's are a result of him being very obviously fouled and not getting the call.  The team would be in real trouble without Schnyders and Snikkers having the moxy to get in the paint and make things happen.  I'm hoping that as Kruis develops offensively...it will take some of the pressure off of Tom and Brad.

What are the parameters for eligibility?  Can an individual play basketball in Div III for three years and then after a couple years off, can they come back -say- as a graduate student or to finish up their BA and play for a year? Can they attend college for more than 5 years and be eligible if they have not used their 4 Years of play?

??Morehouse to Mens  BBall in 2011-2012.....Schoonveld to Womens???  JW
  Neal interim?  Trial year ? JW      

Go Hope!!!  This will be an emotional weekend for all of the girls but especially Philly and Jenny.  You two are wonderful young ladies and a credit to the sport of basketball!!!  You will be missed!  Play your hearts out today and help your team bring back the trophy.  GO HOPE!!!!!!!!!

I just returned from Bloomington also and was shocked to see in the GR RAG....Carrie Snikkers did NOT make first team all area girls squad for the small colleges in our area.   I have to credit that to IGNORANCE because other than that- the reporters are being biased or coerced.  REALLY....All-American last year as a sophomore and this year shuffled to second squad even tho her team does better and she has achieved what she has with an injured foot???  What a bunch of baloney.  I have watched her play over the years and all I can say is- If you are not that important to that team or representative of this area as a #1 player -I can guarantee you, Carrie, there are PLENTY of D1 programs that would love to have you even with only 1 Year of eligibility.  YOU DESERVE BETTER.  Like someone said in an earlier post- a very classy young lady.   Knowing you - you are probably fine with it-  but rest assured there are hundreds of people-maybe more that would name you best overall player for women in this area...!

How about putting BC from CU in her spot???or CVK from Calvin or JN from Aquinas? They would have been one and done.  IMO. 

YOU GO GIRL.  Make your family and school proud despite the ignorance portrayed by a select few.  I can see them eating crow now.  -hopefully choking on it...



OK...I feel better......GO HOPE

All MIAA teams announced - Verkaik is named the MVP.

I'm more than a little surprised to see only two Hope women on the All-MIAA team ... what am I missing here? Seems like all five Dutch starters (as well as a few off the bench) would start on any other MIAA team. 

That may or may not be the case.  I think most likely the Hope women don't have the stats like the other women do because they play fewer minutes per game in Morehouse's system.  Not a single Hope player made the most minutes played list for the conference season.  http://miaa.org/wbb/stats/0910/confonly.htm ........in fact you'll find very few Hope players in many of the individual stat leaders categories.

In MIAA play

Greene 21.4 min
Snikkers 17.4
Bruinsma 19.1
Ellis 18.8
Cowen 19.2

I am sure that Carrie would be a starter at most D1 schools at this point in her bball career(power forward)....she is all around the consummate player.  She isnt even challenged at the level she is playing.  CVK is a great post player at the D3 level but would ride the pine at the D1 level.  We shall see tomorrow how the match-up goes. I am a fan of CVK but at this point-my vote goes hands down to Carrie and I'm sure most of the MIAA coaches would not only agree but would rather play against CVK than Carrie on any team.
