Quote from: oldknight on November 29, 2025, 08:18:54 AMThe only thing to add is the great job Calvin defenders did on Heidelberg's Markell Johnson-Nichols, who came into the game shooting 76.9% from 3 point range. Calvin defenders limited the sharpshooter from Reynoldsburg Ohio to a mere 66.7% night from the arc, and the young man's 3-point average has now plummeted to 75% (12-16) shooting this season. Markell's 3-point shooting career started slow as the Heidelberg junior is now shooting 52.9% from the arc, going 39-74 the last 3 seasons



Reynoldsburg, Ohio: The birthplace of the tomato.

skeptical, but this sort of checks out.

I've been assiduously studying women's flag football games on YouTube in preparation for North Park's WFF debut this spring, trying to learn the lingo and see how the sport-specific rules shake out in actual game play so that I can call the games without stumbling around and looking like a tyro.

What I've mostly learned is that the Mexicans are really, really good at women's flag football, and Diana Flores is the Tom Brady of this sport.

General Division III issues / Re: Flo Sports
Last post by y_jack_lok - Yesterday at 10:03:16 AM
I watched some of the Guilford/Greensboro game last night. The game was played at the UNC Greensboro coliseum and the video quality, which came via Flo Sports, was the best I've seen. Really crisp and clear. I suspect this has to do with superior equipment at UNCG, which would confirm what people have said that streaming quality itself is not controllable with just the Flo platform.

Given that none of the Final Four teams are close to the top 4 in SoS, and yet they each beat top teams to get here, I would say SoS isn't necessarily the end-all-be-all (especially when geography, conference membership, and travel budget often dictate SoS)

12.  Tufts (tops among Final Four teams, but weakest SoS in the NESCAC, which partially reflects lower ranked tourney opponents)
34.  St. Olaf
47.  Emory
70.  Trinity TX

The SOS rankings are odd and Tufts is being 'punished' for winning lots of games against very good opponents.

Tufts this season has faced Midd, Conn and Bowdoin twice apiece with a 5-0-1 record.

They also defeated UMass-Boston (Massey rank 57) and Babson (rank 38) during regular season non-conference games.

Then Brandeis (Massey rank 29), Messiah (39) and Bowdoin (9) in the NCAA tournament.

So while Tufts' SOS is last in the NESCAC, it's basically impossible to come up with a tougher schedule than what they've faced this year unless they play against D1 opponents. Or, I suppose, if they had lost games to Conn/Midd/Bowdoin then their SOS would be higher!

As I mentioned, part of this is because Massey continues to update all of these stats for games played. Other NESCAC teams' schedules are frozen in time, while Tufts has continued to play teams with lower SoS.  Tufts' first round opponent Penn State Harrisburg - a team that was on Amherst's regular season schedule but then was dropped for some reason in the middle of the season - had the lowest SoS of any NCAA tournament opponent of a Final Four team. That alone might have been enough to drag down Tufts' SoS a few spots.  Keep in mind also that other NESCAC teams had Tufts - the #1 team - on their schedules, but Tufts never played the #1 team (since it held that spot!).  In that sense, highly ranked teams are always going to play opponents with SoS that lowers theirs. 

Tufts still has higher SoS than any other Final Four team by a wide margin because it plays in a conference where most other teams have high SoS, while the other Final Four teams played in conferences where they have to play more low ranked teams.  Conferences create an echo chamber for SoS.

A great weekend for the playoffs.

LaGrange made a statement.
.
TUTx edged HSU and we will see how the rematch goes with Berry. TUTx seems a much better team at the end of the season. (Rack one up to good coaching.)

RMC was handled soundly by John Carroll who catches Mount Union in the next round.

UMHB still seems in the Top 7 in the region, but that 7th team is still uncertain

I watched some of the Guilford/Greensboro game last night. Guilford's new coach has certainly brought a different style of play to the Quakers. While it's not a full-on System style, it's very close. They work a little more to find shots than a true System team, but don't waste too much time. Back court defense is more similar to what I've witnessed with Greenville, half-court defense a little less so, but still plenty of pressure.

And what is it with schools that start with "G" (Grinnell, Greenville, Guilford) and this style of play?

The game was played at the UNC Greensboro coliseum and the video quality, which came via Flo Sports, was the best I've seen. Really crisp and clear. I suspect this has to do with superior equipment at UNCG, which would confirm what people have said that streaming quality itself is not controllable with just the Flo platform.
