I wonder how much it cost coach Moore to have the refs call his team for 9 fouls more than Mis.

Whooh now, there will be none of that.  I was very pleased with the refs last night, they were fair to both sides and let them play for the most part. I'd take those three any game.

Read two articles from the hometown of Miseracordia today.

Before the game: "But I'll tell you what. I wouldn't bet against those two seniors. I think they'll give somebody a run for their money. Big time." Speaking on the two Miser seniors...

After the game: Misericordia eliminated by dominant Wooster. . . Wooster was the only team all season to score 80 points on the Cougars. No one else had topped 77.
"(In the second half), they kinda punched us in the face," said senior Joe Busacca, who led the Cougars with 17 points in his final game. "And we just couldn't get back.
"That just speaks to our opponent. I think we're a pretty good team and they just handled us tonight."
"That's just a great team. ... They always made the extra pass. They had my head spinning on defense. You're just thinking, 'How are they finding these guys open?' "

and then Coach Moore makes the comment of the night, "Maybe they got a little tired," long-time Scots coach Steve Moore said.

Even with Etta students being on spring break, It'll still be a packed gym tonight. Going to be a great environment, and hopefully a great game!

Prediction: If Marietta gets 120 tomorrow, they'll win. 

Also happening, the team that Kyle Brumett built at Defiance is about to take out the defending national champs in their own building.  There's a lot to like about that.

Yes, Very Impressive win by Defiance. Got home from the Woo game and watched that game online.
After watching some of the Etta game, I'm hoping my Scots can hang in there with them. But, I believe Etta just had an easier opponent. The team Etta played got beat by Pitt-Bradford. And if anyone knows anything about them..they would know they're not competition at all..probably should not base a team's strength off who they lose or win too, but seriously...

Weather down here:

Yesterday we got 9-11" of that white global warming stuff.  Roads in town are still a mess (they closed one of the bridges and a state route south of town due to ice this morning). 

We aren't getting much of a warm up today, but Saturday and Sunday should improve that. 

I don't venture out to the interstate very often (no need to), so I have no idea how the conditions are there. 

Most Marietta fans will not be at the first game. 

And as a Marietta fan, I would much rather play Wooster than Misercordia.  It really doesn't matter who the better matchup would be, I would much prefer facing the "power school" (and the baseball fan in me carries over to help shape my ever lasting love for the Scots).

Thanks for the information! #GoScots

My bad....completely misread that post. 

I do expect Wooster to travel well (though our weather could impact that a little).  they do for baseball....

I would expect several hundred Wooster fans at least to show. The question is, how many Marietta fans will pay the extra admission to root for Misericordia?

What is the weather down there now? and what is expected tomorrow?
I guarantee the first game will be a home game for the Scots, I've never seen a team travel as well as the Scots.
I highly doubt Etta fans would pay to root against the Scots, either team could beat them. If they make past first round.

It's not really an either/or situation. But yes, Wooster has benefited from its relatively eastern geography in the past, and maybe has done so again today. Still doesn't mean OWU deserves the brutal draw it received.

Anyway, the Scots, should they advance, will be decided underdogs at Marietta.

I could see Marietta getting beat first round, I also see Woo getting past Miser..Marietta hasn't beat anyone great-great, only "good" teams, and they lost twice to a Mount Union team that got beat by Woo...With Marietta being 2 hours away from Wooster, First round will be a home game for the Scots. I see them rolling through the first two round, something changes for them come tournament time.

...and with the draw released, I am even less optimistic about OWU. I guess I don't understand why they get sent halfway across the country for a game they probably won't win (and if they should, then a game that they can't win), while Wooster, certainly and deservedly ranked below the Bishops, gets a nearby game they probably should win, followed by a game they could win.

OWU is within 500 miles of Wash. U., while Wooster is not, so Wooster couldn't get sent there without an extra flight.

Why does this matter?..OWU plays in Wisconsin, Depauw is the one playing at Wash. St Louis...Wooster could of been sent to Wisconsin, its under 500 miles.
