I believe at some point the NCAA changed the allowable gameday bench size.

I don't recall D3 ever having a scorebook cap. Trust me, speaking as someone who used to be his alma mater's scorekeeper, there were a lot of nights when I had to draw multiple extra lines in the scorebook to accommodate a lot of guys whom I knew wouldn't see the floor even in a blowout.

Hope 73 Calvin 63 F

Hope played a really outstanding team defensive game, nearly led the whole way but Calvin was always within reach until very late.  Felt like another miserable 3 point shooting performance then all the big ones fell the 2nd half.

Great offensive set to free up Sanchez with just under 3 to play that put Hope up 7, all free throws after that and what felt like a bunch of good defensive plays on the other end.



Trine 86 Olivet 69

Trine lit up Olivet for 14 3's but it was there defensive energy that carried them to a big first half lead that was never really threatened.  They seemed to have Olivet tied up offensive for long stretches.

Nate Tucker is just playing great basketball.


Trine vs Hope tomorrow night in the Championship game, they split with Hope winning a close one in Holland and Trine winning in overtime in Angola in a game that probably shouldn't have ended up close.

My recollection, which probably isn't great, is that the NCAA tournament had or still has a limit on number of players who can dress, 16 maybe.  And I think the MIAA had a restriction for a period of time but I can't exactly remember when if or if that really was a thing.

Tournament has a limit, although they now let the full team sit on the bench, even if they're not all eligible to play.  During the year, I think it's up to conferences to enact roster limits.

[Gregory Sager]

Yes, exactly.

The key to tomorrow's Hope-Trine game is the status of Hope's Parker Hovey, who injured a leg and had to be helped off the court with about one minute remaining in the game.  After the game he was absent as the MIAA awared him an first team trophy for being selected as a first team MIAA player.

Trine's Logan McKenzie took an awkard fall late in the Olivet game, as a veteran of back ailments he looked like his back muscles quit doing their muscle things as he attempted to go up for a shot and just fell hard to the ground.

I'm more optimistic McKenzie will play.
