So I have been quiet this year about my Earlham Quakers... I could lie and say I have been busy with work and getting my Freshman Squad ready for Indianapolis North Central (Eric Gordon's alma mater) game tomorrow morning; honestly been busy with that and the holiday and family gatherings.  Speaking of Gordon he is GOOD okay a little better then good, but I was able to watch him up close and personal @ the Iowa game and that kids is good.  THANK YOU BRONSON Lickliter! 

Going to pass on talking about my big ten and Horizon league games I have attended this year and take my direction towards the NCAC.  So I've seen Earlham twice this year once at home against Anderson with Billypilgram.  Since he decided not to comment on this board I opted not to also.  I'm not a big fan of boards and well he usually surfs every Penn State Board known to mankind.  I also went down to Franklin College last Saturday for there game against Baldwin-Wallace. 

Anderson game- Lost 62-69.  I really think they have some individual talent and it is a shame that they do not have those missing players to fill in some of the voids they have.  I look at the 11 guys Anderson played and the 7 guys Earlham played and thought no way these guys will be able to play with Anderson.  Well needless to say they Gregory with a quiet 17 and .500 from the field, Terrel Berry grabbed an impressive 17 carmoms and God love him I'm not sure if he could throw the ball in the ocean.  Nick Welsh played soft as always, but put up solid (love me an oxymoron) numbers 5-8,   12 pts, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. They were in the game the entire time trailing 61-63 with 52 seconds remaining.  They just do not have the numbers right now and they get worn down throughout the game.  They pretty much play 4 players over 30 minutes a game, and by no means do I judge that decision.  I think I would have them train with the cross country team and try to have 6 guys ready to play since they seem to have a bunch of obstacles in the way and to be truthfully honest with you they only have a handful college basketball players on that roster.

Baldwin-Wallace- Lost 65-82.  Walked in the gym and saw Gregory with a taped ankle and a coaching staff w/ trainer watching him workout like it was the NFL Combine.  Well needless to say his Ankle injury prevented him from playing and man did that hurt.  It was nice to see Justin Carter who was playing in his second game for the Quakers.  He ended up 6-10 with 14 points in 35 minutes and they also received a pleasant 14 from freshman Mark Host.

As for tonight or should I say Friday night game I'll hopefully have something for you later.  It is hard for me to believe that this was one-sided and not provoked because Nick is a Soft 6'8.  I am thinking about going to become an official instead of coaching.  Some of these guys are steps below a bad joke.  I actually saw Mike Fox, one of the official's that covered the Game tonight and also worked the Earlham/Baldwin-Wallace game I attended.  I also saw him on National T.V. thinking he was a chairman or doing something or another... I wish I would of told BillyPilgram, because it has eluded my mind at the current moment in time and buggin me... Anyone that can help? anyone?  BUELLER? BUELLER? BUELLER?

Arlen Galloway could hoist them from way downtown, but he's no Travis Brett.

Oh, you know it's true!!!  ;)

Can I tell you the guy that use to post on here and end everything in Oh, You know it's True drove me Crazy!!!    Anyways good to see travis brett sightings!   Gzzz I bet those Depauw players are still having nightmares... He was 10 for 15 from downtown, in the O.T. Upset over #2 raked Depauw... 

Oh the good old days, I'm not sure if that was better then the triple O.T. Win Against #14 Wittenberg my Freshman year at home, and then a week later beating them at the HYPER...

I can not take the Former, beating Witt. Twice in one season takes the cake.  Think i'm going to go watch that tape, because there is nothing like watching  Chris FILLMORES Up and under Post move... over and over again.    Under-Rated play of the game, in the 3rd O.T Undersize Freshman Sean O'Reilley Pulled the Chair causing Fillmore to travel.  Score was 88-90 at that point.  EC won 95-88.

The article notes that Wooster is the winningest team in NCAA basketball (at any level) since 2000.  Scots are 209-31.  :)



Glad we could help!

This would be my line up for POY,1st-2nd Team All NCAC.
There has been a few times where the NCAC had 6 players on 1st team and 6 players on 2nd team.  This is kind of a stretch... 7 guys on 1st team and 6 guys on 2nd team, but here it goes....

Player of the Year : 
#33 Thomas Port        *Wooster

1st Team:
#23 James Cooper       *Wooster
#41 Dan Hodgkinson  *Denison
#45 Dane Borchers     *Wittenberg
#40 Markous Jewett    *Earlham
#52 Andrew Zimmer   *Wabash
#33 Ben Chojnacki      *OWU

2nd Team:

#42Ryan Hollihan         *Gheny
#10 Brandon Johnson   *Wooster
#34 Tim Vandervaart    *Wooster
#50 Dustin Rudegeair   *OWU
#11 Greg Hill                *Wittenberg
#32 Quinton Spencer    *Oberlin

Yes I'm giving myself credit!!! :)

Okay so I didn't get the Kenyon player.. who would of thunk they would of put 7 guys on both 1st team and 2nd team...  I thought 7 and 6 was kind of a stretch.  I am a little curious why they would now go to a 7 and 7 format and then have the same amount of people on H.M.  as a former H.M. player I'm thinking do I move myself up to 2nd team...  I just think if you are going to do HONORs like that year in year out keep it the same.  I like 6 1st team (with one POY), 5 2nd team, and 7 H.M... then again whocares what I think  :'(

P.S.  Good Luck WOOSTER!!!

Okay so if I were in attendance for tonight's game I'd have to bring two shirts Red for Coach Dewitt and the Bishops and sorry Fellow Indiana School I'd need a Gold shirt because I'm pulling for Coach Moore and the Scots...

Oh Billy_P it was a year ago today when we took off for Wooster, Ohio... Looks like we will not be gracing BW3's with our presence and drinking our sorrows away.  At least we will not being doing that in Wooster  ;)

The Wooster basketball web site says both games will be on free video Friday night.

I'm wondering if the camera man will be able to keep up with SUPER MARTY this weekend... maybe with his speed he'll just look a blurrrrrr  :o

Honestly overall this Earlham Team ranks as one of the worst overall in the last 8 years and I think Billy_P agrees with me on that one.  I think they have 3 of the most talented players on one team at the same time during that same stretch.  I just think they lacked Depth and I don't know what they are going to do NEXT year!!

But Hat's off to Earlham for playing hard against Wooster tonight... Shooting 49% from the Field against Wooster isn't easy to do.   Wooster just out manned Earlham today shooting an OUTSTANDING percentage from the field.   Congrats to Wabash for pulling up the upset on the road.

Now I'm not a lobbyist, but I'm going to give it my best shot!  I call it Jewett 1st Team All NCAC.  They say big time player make big time plays in big time situations and now to my point...  Markous Jewett played 8 games against the top 4 NCAC teams (Wooster *3, Wittenberg *2, OWU *2, Allegheny *1)  Jewett went 57-110 from the field 51% , (23 of those shot attempts were  3 pointers), 25-36 Fat's 75%, 4.5 RPG, with an 18.6 PPG.  I would also like to add that if I was a coach of an opposing NCAC team my Defensive game plan would be stop Jewett!!  I would think that was the objectives of the Top 4 teams in the conference since 2 of the teams out work the rest of the NCAC coaching staff.   

I'm glad that I at least explained to everyone on this board why Jewett is a 1st Team all NCAC player and when it happens don't be all that shocked   ... and if it doesn't then I'll just have to accept  the fact   
If it does I'll be willing to accept Karma from each and everyone of you!





P.S.  Don't forget you can't spell jeWETt without WET

WoW I love Wooster Live updated stats.... Looks like Wooster has this one in the bag.  72-52 10:22 left in the 2nd half.  Tim Vandervaart is BACK  4-7 Fg 8 Rebounds   10 points...   Nice to see him able to come back.. Tom Port is killing Wooster is shooting 31-48 from the field.

Besided Earlham  ::)  it looks like Wabash has the only chance to Knock off the higher seed.  I am going to be pulling for the all men's college West of us.  I hope Wabash doesn't get screwed in the 1st round at Allegheny like Earlham did in 2003.  (As you can see I'm still bitter)

Good luck to all teams and especially seniors... Seems like 4 more teams will be joining Denison and Oberlin.
