MBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[Dr. Acula]

I did not get a chance to watch the Mount game live, but I watched the first half later last night since that was pretty much the game with a 50-24 lead at half.  I had a little scare when Casenhiser was laying on the floor with a trainer looking at his knee, but he must have just slammed it on the floor diving for the loose ball.  Moore had a really nice game shooting the ball (5-9 3FG).  Weekly gave them good minutes and knocked down 4 triples. 

12-2 with two to go.  Ott still only a half game back so need to hold serve again Saturday.  With ONU keeping pace (10-3) the conference has developed a big gap from top 3 to 4 through 9.  Muskie is in 4th at 6-7 and it seems unlikely that they'll finish above .500 with ONU, @ Wilm, @ Ott to finish.  At one point 10-1, 3-1 with the only loss being a 3 point loss to Mount to dropping 7 of 11 games is a rough turn of events in New Concord.

Speaking of disappointing, Etta dropped their 3rd straight falling to 4-10 in OAC play.  They're now a half game up on last place Cap (3-10).  I cannot imagine anyone had that on their predictions for this season.

Etta is facing pains from a coaching change, I believe they will right the ship in the near future. Wilmington coming to Mount today,  They have proven a pain in the rear for Mount every year, hope we jump on them and keep them down.  The twin brothers are very talented and can light you up.
