Go Lions! Oykib at Columbia (FBCB)

[oykib]

I have decided to start a new dynasty with Fast Break College basketball.

I'll start as an level 5 coach at Columbia. My goal is to move to St. John's and win a title.

My starting attributes are:

Recruiting: 55

Scouting: 25

Offense: 50

Defense: 70

The league startup settings are:

Attribute style: 1-100 ( I rarely coach in-game- so I always use more detailed ratings to eveluate players)

Firing: on

Randomize Team Prestige: No

Field of 65

Limited Conference Movement

Conference prestige does not update due to player performance

Academic Suspensions on


There won't be a heck of a lot of detail to start. I can never identify with players that I didn't recruit.

It'll build with time, though.

[oykib]

I hire any bargain I can find as far as coaches go.

I get:

Winfred Ford - Recriuting Coordinator - $50,005

Recruiting: 45

Scouting: 45

Offense: 46

Defense: 4

Nickolas Crowder - Lead Scout - $30,000

Recruiting: 26

Scouting: 35

Offense: 36

Defense: 3

Xander Newhouse - Coaching Assistant - $30,000

Recruiting: 35

Scouting: 8

Offense: 7

Defense: 50

[oykib]

Our team roster is very much like a port-a-potty after a summer day at the beach.

Thankfully, the Athletic Director only wants me to finish with a .500 record in the Ivy League.

With that in mind, I intend to load up on creampuffs in the non-conference schedule.
My team may not even reach .500 in conference but I might be able to dress up the record.

I've got four seniors-- all of them scolarship players. A PG, two SGs, and a SF.
Of course, my only good player is one of the SGs, Delbert Patterson.

But don't expect to hear his name called much. I expect I'll mostly fast sim until I get my players in here.

I only have $17,000 to work with in recruiting. So I'm going to have to be lucky. I'm aiming for the best guys rated high or better as far as interest.

I also targeted an international early. I offered all my schollies sight unseen to my targets. I've only made one change to my scholarship offers through the first few months.

We got our first commitment, Fernand Bonenfant, from France:

November 2004

We had one rejection with the news. So we've lost out on one guy, but target a more likely prospect.

The training camp seems pretty vanilla. But I love how the 1.1 patch shows the previous ratings with the current.

We start the season getting blown out at Gardner Webb. Yeah, we're that bad. Plus I'm losing the one serviceable underclassman to redshirting to shore up next year's unit.

I reshuffle the lineup and take care of New Hampshire at home 63-53.

We go down south and lose 58-53 to Savannah State.

We're turning the ball over too much, though. I decide to lower the motion in the offense.

We wind up going 2-3 in November with a home win vs. Albany, 73-63.

[oykib]

December 2004

We get two declined schollies and no accepted ones.

I take out Arkansas Pine-Bluff on the road 63-53 to even my record at 3-3.

We continue the good feelings with a 52-41 win when American comes to town.

We come back to earth with a 58-50 loss at Air Force.

Youngstown State comes to Columbia and falls to us, 54-45.

We lose at Binghamton, 69-64, in a game where we're outrebounded 32-23.
We are terrible on the boards. but there's nothing I can do about that just yet.

We fall at home to, previously, 1-9 Army, 62-54. We couldn't buy a bucket-- shooting 35%.
Also, it didn't help that we put them on the line thirty-one times to our fourteen.

We end December at 5-6.

January 2004

We get two commitments and a rejection. The first guy who's coming to Columbia (actually, I haven't evaluated him yet-- I'll update later-- he's the #34 PG and from the UK):

We drop a game to Belmont, 64-60-- at home-- to start the month.

We pull out a home win, 66-62, against Bethune-Cookman. We do this despite putting them on the line thirty times

We open the conference schedule by dropping a 66-56 game at home to Brown.

Princeton then takes us behind the woodshed, 72-33.

It stays ugly. Here's our record at he end of January:

I ask to upgrade the facilities, which are only rated at 26. We had a shitty season last season. But we did bring in the #59 recruiting class.

We have four schollies available. We will lose a C, 2 PFs, and a SF. That's tough because it's tough to recruit good bigs.

If you look at Bonenfant, Pearsall, and Morgan and then at their player cards from recruiting, You can see how big a scouting error I have to deal with:

The training facility request was denied.

More of the same last month. We're sitting at the bottom of the league again.

By the way, we lost another prospect. I'm gonna have to give up getting a fourth player again this year.

We finish the season by taking two out of three. Here's the dump:

We continue our winning ways at Boston University. We take it 67-55. This time it's redshirt freshman Frenchman Fernand Bonenfant that's the man. He leads the way with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists from the SF position.

We then go out to Portland and take the contest 90-70. Percival Morgan is again big with 29 points and 8 steals. We turned them over thirty times, including a 15-4 steal margin.

We finally come down to earth in a home contest vs. Texas A&M. We drop this one 77-68. Fifth-year senior SG Matt Jacobs does us in with 37 points, including 7 of 9 from downtown!

December 2006

We drop a second in a row when Deleware State takes us 79-70 at our house. They got us on the strength of 35 of 51 free throws. Of course that meant that we were in foul trouble all night, too.

I realizae somethings wrong when woeful Savannah State comes to town and clips us 60-51. There doesn't seem much obvious in the stats, though. They just outshot us.

We manage to get off the schneide(sp?) win a win at home vs. Stony Brook, 63-55. Not the dominating performance I was hoping for. But I'll take the 'W'.

A nice road win is in the cards at St. Peter's, 73-66. Percival Morgan pours in 21, with 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals to lead the way. Four players score double figures.

I see that my Starting center is a weak leak and shuffle my lineup after the contest. I put in a True Freshman at PF and move James Thompson, another True Freshman, to his natural C position.

Our next game sees us get doubled up, 92-46, at St. Joseph's. Their shooting guard goes for 31. They dominated the glass and out shot us 50% to 30%. Just an out and out massacre.

January 2007

We finally get our man. He'd been holding out for a bigger school, I believe. We lost most of our secondary targets because of him. Thankfully he's with us now.

I don't like that big zero in quickness. But he's seven feet and he has an 89 strength as an eighteen year-old. I also like that he put up nineteen a game and is a great rebounder and post defender with shot-blocking ability.

We also got news of an academic suspension of the 9th man in the rotation. I can deal with it. But I wish it hadn't happened right before conference play started.

We treat Army like a red-headed stepchild at Westpoint, 75-49. I'm still not happy with our rebounding, though. It was even.

Appalachian State gets a rude reception at our gym, 71-53. Inserting freshman PF Trevor Lebrun into the lineup is starting to pay off. He helped out with ten boards and we won the rebound battle 46-30.

The conference season starts with a killer. We lose by 15 at home vs. Yale, 63-48. It was another case where we were just outshot, 57% to 48%.

We drop the next game, a back-to-back at home, 66-63 to Cornell. It was another case of a mad bomber. SG Mark Vanwinkle had 31 and shot 8-11 from three.

It just gets worse at Princeton, 84-72-- 51% to 42%.. But worse, we get outrebounded 43-28.

We finally get a win, in a non-conference game vs. Arkansas- Little Rock. I don't get it. a lot of these teams have the same prestige as the Ivys. But I just can't seem to do well in conference.

Another shitty performance follows that nice game, however. We lose at Buffalo, 60-49.

February 2007

We start out February with Princeton at our gym. James Thompson comes up big in an 85-81 victory. We finally get a conference win. We got to the line 43 imes and outrebounded them 43-30. I slowed the pace down by one before the game. Thompson put in 25.

In another dumb back-to-back at Yale (I guess the Ivy plays almost nothing but), we fall 61-49. It was the same old song as Trevor Lebrun got injured and we lost our best rebounder. They won the board battle 43-28.

All right. I've had it with this season. We drop another one. This time 75-54 at Brown.

Another terrible run in-conference. But we picked up some awards. James Thompson, Trevor Lebrun and Fernand Bonenfant were all on the conference all-freshman team. James Thompson was Conference Freshman of the Year.

Our recriuting class ranking is #156.

I think we've got four schollies this year. We actually have six seniors.

We don't even lose any staff members. I am overwhelmed. Perhaps it's a good omen.

Here's the conference movement up to now:

We get Towson and lose Penn.

Not the most realistic stuff I've ever seen.

Actually, we have five schollies this year.

Hawley is being redshirted.

My starting lineup is:

C James Thompson
PF Trevor Lebrun
SF Fernand Bonenfant
SG Jess Pearsall
PG Percival Morgan

6th Timothy Eyre
7th Albert Nemeth
8th Paul O'Kelley
9th Lawrence Trussell
10th Ignace Delliot

Bonenfant and Thompson are my key players. I'm running a balanced attack with a 5 pace.
Motion is set to 4, with 3s at 3.

I will run the 2-3 Zone and the 2-1-2 Zone with a lot of trapping and doubling inside.

We lose our opener at Arkansas State, 60-45. I like the fact that we beat them on the glass though.

We have a rough go of it the rest of the way:

11/18/07 at Arkansas State (2-2) L 60-45 0-1
11/23/07 at Long Beach State (1-2) L 87-47 0-2
11/27/07 Manhattan (2-1) L 86-67 0-3

We need to win two of our last three to break even in conference play. Unfortunately, two of the three are on the road.

We're up 43-19 at the half in the game at Dartmouth. Everything is going well. Maybe I should coach every game. Even the bench players are getting in on the action.
We go on to win 70-42. Percival Morgan is the PotG. He put in 15 with 3 assists and 3 steals.
Four players were in double figures.

We get to halftime in our game at home vs. Cornell up by eight, 22-14. We've played a lot of sloppy defense, though-- committing 13 fouls. Thankfully, Cornell, to this point, is brickin' at a 50% clip from the line.
By the way, we are shooting .290 and they are shooting .095.

The second half is only slightly better than the first. The final score is 50-35-- good guys. Jess Pearsall is PotG. He had 14on 5 of 8 shooting and 3 of 3 from the stripe.

So we've guarunteed a .500 season. I hope that'll keep the regents off my back.
We can take away from the game the fact that we killed them on the glass.

We get to halftime in our game at Harvard up 40-38. It's a very fast-paced game.
We're shooting .533 to their .484. But they are killing us 21-14 on the glass.
they have 12 fouls to our 6, however. I hope that we can exploit that in the second half.

We have the game and blow it down the stretch. We give up some big threes lat and drop it 67-64.

The board decided to upgrade my facilities. I didn't even ask last year.

They are back to being satisfied with my performance.

The team's prestige is back up to 27, which is where it was when I took the job.

We had the #51 recruiting class. This year we have three seniors and two scholarship players leaving.

I am not offered any jobs. Luckily, I haven't had any of my bargain basement staff stolen away either.

I bang out my schedule in one go. That's a first, I believe.

I haven't gotten any commitments by the time training camps roll around.

This year I'll give a more detailed overview of my players since they are mostly mine now.

My starting center is James Thompson. He's a Junior. He's not much of a defender. But he's got a really good inside game and a decent defensive rebounder.

He also has a some shot blocking ability. He also has good hands for a big man. So he's one of my key players.

My starting Power Forward is Trevor Lebrun:

He is a much better defender than Thompson. He can also rebound some. Unfortunately, Lebrun has no offensive game whatsoever. He's also a Junior.

He can't defend either. He's much more athletic than the guys in my frontcourt, though.

Percival Morgan, who came in the same class as Pearsall, runs the point. He's not a great distributor. He also doesn't have that great an offensive game.
But he makes up for his shortcomings on the offensive end by being a great defender. He also helps make up for Pearsall's shortcomings on the defensive end.

My sixth man is PF Timothy Eyre. If he had some stamina or was slightly more athletic at all, he'd be my star player. He has the best all-around offensive game. He's a mediocre defender. But I'd live with it without Thompson as the other low post player. He's also my best rebounder.
I'll probably redshirt him next year and make him my featured player in two.

If I can get a dwn low player with good hands and can pass next, I'll be delirious. Of course, Igot a target that has just those qualities. Center Thomas Nelson from Deleware likes us the best now. I just have to hope that he chooses us before any of the big teams jump in.

We go three and four as we enter the meat of our non-conference schedule. Losing to Army at home hurts. But I can live with the rest.
We've really picked up the level of competition the past few years. Let's hope it pays dividends when we get into league play.

January 2009

We get our target. Things seem to be working out well. When SF Chris Dombrowski signs, it ends our recruiting for the year. you can see his player card above.

We get to half time of our first conference game, at Harvard, up by four, 38-34. We come in having dropped our last two contests-- putting us at 5-7 on the year.

We go on a run a couple of minutes into the second half. The final score is 71-60, us. but it wasn't that close.

I drop my next three conference games, though. I've had a couple of injuries. Jess Pearsall was out for a week with migraines. And I lose James Thompson to a fractured cheekbone at the beginning of the Princeton game.

At this point, I want to shake things up a bit. I swap Timothy Eyre in at PF for Thomas LeBrun.

We lose Trevor LeBrun in the last game of the season for 360 days with a ruptured achilles injury. I guess he'll get the redshirt rather than Eyre. That's if I manage to keep my job.

We fall back into the bad graces of the board.

Our recruiting class was ranked #120.

Michigan State had the #1 class.

The team prestige fell to 26.

Our facility upgrade puts our training facility at 32. Tht's second in the conference.

We once again keep our whole staff.

I once again get as strong a non-conference schedule as I can.

We have four sholarships are available, all bigs. I have to replace a Center, 2 Power Forwards, and my 6'10" Small Forward.

One of our scollies has been declined already.

Our first game goes well. We beat up Rutgers in Jersey 70-57. We fouled the hell out of them, though.

By the way, here's the rundown of our starters.

Xavier Hawley takes over the center position. He's 7'1" and he's got 100 in strength. I love his inside game and offensive rebounding ability. He's also a decent defender and defensive rebounder.

Fernand Bonenfant, who like James Thompson will graduate this year, will continue to be the small forward. He's improved his defense a little. But I wish he could hit a free throw to save his life.

Timothy Eyre reprises his role as our sixth man. He has terrible hands. But he otherwise brings a great offensive package off the bench. He's also a liability on defense. But he does help out by being a great rebounder.

Gianpaolo Luchi will get into the rotation as a frontcourt backup. He has a lot of potential as an inside scorer. If he was faster, he'd make a good small forward. But with his quikness of 25, he'll remain a backup.

Agustin Torres, a converted shooting guard from Spain, is our primary small forward backup. He came in with Gleb Irbe. But he was kind of a disappointment.

Calvin McMcahan is the last man in my rotation. He's got a great handle and he's a good defender. He's not much of a passer unfortunately.

I'll be okay as long as Syracuse and Villanova don't offer.

We win the first game of the month at home against Lehigh, 79-63. We are really rolling. But I believe we've got a rough patch coming up. I set the schedule to get pretty much progressively harder. I wanted to build up my team's toughness before the conference schedule starts.

After the game the media poll puts us at #16. I think we've got to get to 7-0 to make the ranking "stick," though.

It becomes moot when we play an awful game at home vs. Austin Peay. We get spanked, 86-75. It wasn't as close as the score, either.

January 2010

Recruiting just took a bad turn. We lost out on two guys and got no commitals.

We get to conference play at 8-3. We aren't ranked anymore, though.

January is not very kind to us. We go 2-2 in the conference. That's not what I was hoping for. We're at 11-6 overall after starting 7-1.

March 2010

We got one commitment. I am not all that excited. He was a late commital, which almost always means a PG who is missing a tool or two. I won't know for a while since he was a sight unseen guy.

We win the game at home vs. Harvard, 90-78. We pulled away about five minutes in and never looked back. This guaruntees a .500 season for us.

Unfortunately, Yale is playing at Brown. So I don't think I have a chance to win the conference. This makes the Thompson suspension that much more annoying. I have to wonder if I could have won one more of those games in February with him in the lineup.

We drop our final game, 71-58, at home. We got killed on the glass and played with a lot of our key guys in foul trouble.

We make it to the FBIT. But we lose a close game at home to Xavier, 92-90.
Xavier hit a buzzer beating three to beat us.

Oklahoma kills Temple in the title game, 80-56.

Our March scholly offer was declined. I offer it to the last guy on my call list.

Thompson's suspension opened the door for Bonenfant. He took the Ivy League Player of the Year Award. I'll really miss his game. Whenever I coach the game, he and Thompson seem to be involved in everything.

I'm really sorry that Lebrun missed his entire senior season. I don't like that you can't redshirt seniors. He got a year-long injury in the last game of last season. We could've used his rebounding in a few games this season.

Eyre never quite developed. I just can't explain it. I was really excited when I recruited him. But Lebrun always produced much better. I'll have trouble replacing him as a sixth man, though.

[oykib]

We get that French PG with no athletic ability before closing the year.

Our recruiting class was ranked #69. In a case of the rich getting richer, National Champ Oklahoma had the #1 class.

Here are the national champs since I started this dynasty.

I ask the board to improve the training facilities again.

Our team prestige is up to 29.

Both Old Dominion and Northern Illinois offer me jobs. I can only take Atlantic area jobs, though.

My staff is left alone again. Maybe, I should take the hint.

My facility upgrade request was approved.

We only have one scholly to give out this year. I'm looking to make a splash with my concentrated money.

The #46 prospect in the country has average interest in me. I offer the scholly-- sight unseen-- in the first month. He is a SF.

Here's his card after I visited him:

Providence offered Hockett. So I'm off of him and on Martin now.

Martin signs before training camp. So I'm done with recruiting for the year.

He should eat the Ivy league alive on the offensive end for a few years.

[oykib]

We get eaten alive at St. Bonaventure in our opener, 99-70. We kept it tight for a while. But I think our pace was set too high. There were too many bad shots right before the half.

St. Bonaventure 99, Columbia 70

We then piss away a victory at home vs. Rhode Island. What a dissapointment. We were up by five with two minutes to play and their best player had just fouled out. Then, we started fouling like crazy and that was all she wrote.

It also didn't help that I lost three players due to injury. Speaking of which, here are this years guys:

My starting center is Xavier Hawley. He is a very good inside scorer and kills on the offensive glass.

Chris Dombrowski is my starting small forward. He's another monster on the offensive glass. He's nothing special anywhere else, though.

January 2011

I decide to put Calvin Mcmahan in as the starting PG. I'm tired of Jones' turnovers.

We start out the month with an 80-74 win at UKMC (wherever that is). Gleb Irbe picks up PotG. He has 16 points, 9 boards, and 3 steals. Xavier Hawley could've gotten it with 20 and 8 boards. All five starters were in double figures.

We drop our next game to Holy Cross, 76-69. That's not a team that we should lose to at home.

We start our conference schedule at home vs. Cornell. We need to get off to a good start.
Midway through the first half we are up 8-5. It's been an ugly game. It's not much better by half time. We go into the break down 26-23.

We fall further behind in the 2nd. But we pull ahead around the five minute mark. We keep the magin at about five until it's fouling time. My point guards hit their free throws and we triumph 63-57.

Unfortunately we lose Agustin Torres for two weeks with a fractured cheekone.

Our next game is on the road at Princeton. We go back and forth for a few minutes. But the we have an offensive expolsion. There's a series where we go down and drian three pointers three straight times after getting defensive stops. We go into the half up 51-26. We wind up winning by the final count of 88-73. Calvin McMahan gets player of the game honors.

Princeton comes to our house in the next game. At half, we are up 33-30. We've had a much tighter contest and some of our guys are already in foul trouble.

We're not playing that well in the second half. But we are beating them to all the rebounds and that's giving us our margin. We're up 68-60 with 4:03 left. We get to free throw time and salt it away, 75-70.

February 2011

Cal State Northridge comes to town-- interrupting our conference schedule. My guys don't seem ready for a real team. We're down 40-30 at halftime.

At 11:42 in the second we pass them, 48-47. The defense has been tight and we're putting a lot of offensive pressure on them.

We force them to call a timeout when we go up 55-49. Here's hoping we can sustain it.

We've got really good ball movement today. Calvin Mcmahan has four assists, as do Chris Dombrowski and Gleb Irbe (actually five for both of them).
We win this one 73-61. Calvin Mcmahan is PotG. He has 12 points, 4 assists, 2 boards, 2 steals, and was 5-7 from the floor (2-3 from three).

Our next game is a big conference matchup at Brown. We're currently 12-6(4-0) and they're 8-8(3-0).
We come out smoking and go up 7-0-- forcing Brown to take a timeout early. We are up 14-2-- with Gianpolo Luchi trying to put the finishing touch on a three-point play as I type this.

Brown is in the penalty with 13:16 left in the first. We're up 20-6.

We close the half up 43-26. Xavier Hawley leads all scorers with 17. He also has 4 boards and 3 assists. He hasn't turned the ball over yet. Augustin Torres is the only guy on the squad with as many as 2 fouls.
We're shooting .630 from the floor and we have the rebound advantage 26-14.

We go on to an 80-56 victory. I'ts nice to get a blowout win vs. Our rivel for the league lead on their floor. Hawley gets player of the game. He has 21 points, 8 boards, and four assists. He leads the team in all three categories. We didn't have an answer for Rufus Watson from Brown, though. He had 21 and may take first team honors this year away from Gleb Irbe.

We come out in our next game-- at home vs. Yale-- in much the same way as we started vs. Brown. We force a timeout witha 6-0 run to start the game. We can't sustain it, though. We are committing a lot of fouls. It's 32-20, us, with 1:14 left in the first. We end the half at 34-25. LAmar Murdoch is doing the job off the bench with 9 points. Gianpolo Luchi is also getting himself involved in a lot of plays while he's on the floor.

We start the second half with a 6-0 run also. We're up 40-25 with 15:45 remaining. We pretty much stay on a roll from there. We triumph 79-51. Xavier Hawley is Player of the Game again. He has sixteen and nine. Lamar Murdoch also did great work off the bench. Irbe was in foul trouble all game and didn't contribute much. Ignace Deliot,too, found a way to help out. He had ten points in five minutes of playing time. I noticed the other day that Deliot has never started for us. If we clinch before the last game, I'll definitely start him in one before the end of the season.

Brown is coming to town for our next game. I need Irbe to shake off whatever's been messing him up lately to match Rufus Watson. A win here would pretty much seal up the conference and an FBCA tournament slot.

I'd essentially have a four game lead if I could pull this next game off. Irbe hits our first shot to tie it up a two after one minute of play. I hope this bodes well for his play and us for the rest of the game. After ou mini-run to take the score to 6-2 forces a Brown timeout, Irbe steals the pass on theri setup and goes the other way with a dunk. BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!

Brown and Rufus Watson come right back. He hits two shots on their run to tie it at eight and force us to use a 'T'. We go up by one on a Xavier Hawley free throw and then it's back and forth with nothing.

The players are going to Irbe, though. On our next position he misses a shot. But we hit the offensive glass and work it back around to him. He hits for a traditional three-point play after taking it inside. The foul is on Rufus Watson. Take it in to him more often, Gleb.

Both Watson and Irbe go cold for a stretch. But our other players outplay theirs a little. We're up 18-15 with 12:53 in the half. Here are their player cards:

It's back and forth as Irbe and Watson both go out of the game. We're still up by three,26-23, with 9:25 left in the first. Brown gets a couple of buckets to take it to 29-28, them, at the 7:53 mark.
With mostly backups in right now, it's Thomas Nelson who is providing our punch. He's scored our last four points. We lead by one, 32-31.

A terrible sequence follows this as we commit a reach-in for our tenth foul. The point guard, John Nutter-- who has hurt us in this one-- misses both shots but gets his own rebound. They work the ball around for a while and he finally nails a three to put them up by two, 34-32.
Calvin McMahan scores the next four points in the game. We go back into the lead, 36-34.

After a back-and forth that ties up the score, Irbe comes back in and finds Chris Dombroski open for three, 39-36. We maintain that margin going into halftime, 43-40.
For us, Xavier Hawley has eight points and seven boards. Gleb Irbe has seven and two assists.
For them, Eric Rowden, their PF, and David Osborne, their C, each have eight points. The overall stats are about even.

We're up 48-42 with 17:24 left. But it's still back and forth. the news of note is that on our last offense trip we induced Rowden's third foul. Rufus Watson follows with his third on our next possession. We've got three of our own guys with two, Mcmahan, Irbe, and Nelson.
Xavier Hawley goes inside and scores while inducing Rowden's fourth. Hawley misses the three-point play, however. It's 50-42. Let's hope this is our run.
Hawley comes back down after a Brown turnover and takes it inside for another two, 52-42.

Brown stops the action to think it over and Hawley staels an entry pass after they come out of the break. He works it through Gleb Irbe to Augustin Torres in the corner for two.
A Watson three cuts into our role and makes the score 56-47, with 12:33 left. We keep it rolling for a minute. but they start sharpshooting from the outside and force us talk it over. They've closed to 68-59, after we were up by as many as 14.
We go back to Hawley out of the break. They haven't figured out an answer for him. He's up to 20 and 10 already. After a little more up and down, Hawley takes back inside vs. Erick Rowden, who is back in with only 4:08 left. A couple moves and Rowden hacks him on the shot for his fifth and is out of the game.

We get into free throw time with the same margin and it's time to put it away. We win 82-69.
Xavier Hawley is, again, Player of the Game. I have to believe that-- baring injury-- he's all but locked up Conference Player of the year.
Today he had 23 and ten, with three assists and a steal agaist one foul and two turnovers in thirty-five minutes of play.

Watson gets the bare nod over Irbe in this one, probably.

Watson: 17 points (7-16, 3-8 3Ps, 0-1 FT), 1 rebound, and 3 steals against three fouls and four turnovers.
Irbe: 9 points (4-11, 0-1 3PS, 1-1 FT), 6 rebounds (2 Off), 5 assists, and 4 steals againts 3 fouls and 1 turnover.

Actually, on second thought, I'll give the nod to Irbe-- especially since we won.

We've now got what is essentially a fie-game lead on everyone but Harvard-- as none of the rest can catch us for overall record even if they tie usin the conference. Of course, Harvard plays us in two of our last three. So they could make those games count if we have a bad run.

Other than Harvard, though, there isn't a winning team left on our schedule. I hope to reach twenty wins. Of course, if we do, then the conference'll be sewn up as well.

[oykib]

In our next game at Towson, we get out to a early seven point lead despite not playing particularly well. But by the 7:39 mark they force us to call our first 'T' when they go on a run that puts them up 25-23.

We get to haltime down, 41-39. We actually ahd to put on a little burst to close to that score. they went up by five earlier in the half. We are getting very little from our bigs in this one.

We continue the back-and-forth play into the second half. We go ahead 49-47 at the 14:42 mark.

They force a timeout at 10:39 with a run that puts them up, 61-55. We're just playing like garbage.

We need to come out of this break with a bucket. We've got all of our starters back in and they've only got two of theirs on the floor.
We miss some shots but hit the offensive glass. But finally the possesion goes for naught.

We're down 68-64 with seven minutes left. We just haven't played as badly as they have for the last two minutes or so to close the gap a little.

We force a timeout-- under two minutes-- when we get the game back to thre, 80-77. they had gotten it up to eight. We then get a big stop. But they get one when we go the other way. A couple of steals by Irbe and Luchi and some finishes and we are buck up by one 81-80.

We continue ripping them on the next defensive series. After some good ball movement, we go up 83-80, with only eighteen seconds left to play. Towson calls a timeout. I put in all my good perimeter defenders.

But their point guard throws away a pass immediately. I take the oportunity to switch in my good free throw shooters. Calvin McMahan is fouled immediately. He hits the fron tend of the one-and-ne to give us afour-point margin. Towson then calls another timeout. There are eight seconds left.

Hawley then does something stupid by fouling them on the inbounds pass to foul out of the game and put them on the line for a one-and-one with five seconds left.

Their man misses the first shot and Calvin Mcmahan gets the board to seal the victory and PotG. He had twenty points and eight assists. Luchi added in 19 and nine rebounds.

Hawley picks up two quick fouls to start off the game at Cornell. We're paying the price for all those early home games in the conference schedule. This is the secod in a stretch of five straight road games.

Cornell starts the game with a 6-0 run-- forcing us to call a timeout. We cant buy a bucket. It's 9-0 with 13:12 left in the half. We finally get on the board at 12:30. It's 9-2 after an Irbe steal leads to a 3-on-2 break and a layup from Chris Dombrowski.

We start to heat up a little after that. We close to 11-7 by 11:14. Two Thomas Nelsen free throws tie the game at 11 at 9:52. They also cause a break in the action as Cornell uses the pause button. They force us to use a 'T' of our own after they come out of theirs with a 13-4 run. We can't seem to impose our will inside and we aren't pressuring their ball handlers as we usually do.

At halftime, the score is 34-29, Cornell. Luchi and Irbe are scoreless. And four of Hawleys six were gotten at the charity stripe. No one's hitting from the floor.

We come out a little better. We tie it at 36 by the 16:46 mark. We're more talented than they are. But we are playing stupid. And some of our guys are really cold today.

We have some trouble after that though. They go on a 6-0 run that sees Hawley and Nelsen both pick up number four. We're down 42-36 with 14:21 to play.

We get to 3:10 down one after a stop, 56-55. Dombrowski gets a tip to tie it up at 57. There are two minutes left. We need to get a stop and actually go up this tme. Of course we foul them on the other end instead. Both teams are in the bonus. Dombrowksi gets the two back on the other end and has a chance for a three point play to give us a slim lead. He hits-- 60-59. He has fifteen-- to lead all scorers.

Luchi steals the ball on the next possesion and they foul Calvin McMahan to put him on the line for two with :26 left. He only hits the front end. We've got no timeouts left. So we need a stop here-- and definitely no threes. Dombrowski fouls their small forward with 2 seconds left.

We have a five game lead with five remaining. Our magic number is two with Harvard and one with Princeton and Towson.

Our next game is at 6-16 Yale. These are the games one has to watch out for. We should blow their doors off on paper. But Hawley has been in a funk for the last couple. That's made our last ones tight affairs.

We get out to a seven point lead, 7-0, after two and change have been played. That forces their hand with the timeout. At 12:15, it's 26-7 after Ignace Deliot hits a three. We're rollin'.

We lead 53-29 at the intermission. Everyone's doing damage. Can we score 100?

Our pace slows down considerably-- although we're still blowing them out. At 11:49, it's 67-45. Chris Dombrowski is the only starter not in double figures yet.

We don't reach 100. The final score is 91-52. Gianpolo Luchi is the player of the game. He had 24 on 8-10 from the field and 8-9 from the free throw line. Hawley chipped in with 14 and 14, including seven on the offensive glass!

In one bright spot for Yale, their backup center, Avery Toro, was their only player to reach double figures and he added six blocks.

Harvard drops a game before our next contest, at Dartmouth. That officially gives us the conference.

I'll get Deliot in the lineup in the home game vs. Harvard, the last game of the season.

I'll quick sim until then.

March 2011

We win the game at Harvard and then drop the game at home vs. Dartmouth-- ruining our perfect conference record and possible decent seed in the tourney.

03/04/11 at Harvard (16-13) W 83-69 20-6 (12-0)
03/05/11 Dartmouth (13-14) L 59-48 20-7 (12-1)

Hawley is a little dinged up (91%). So we'll sit him for this one. I'll put Deliot in at off guard and move everyone above McMahan up one slot. We lose this one 83-75. Basically we lose it at the line. They were 29-40 and we were 15-22 at the stripe.

I sit back to watch the tourament selction show with interest for the first time. I hope that I can get a 10 seed. but a 14 is more realistic. I wouldn't be suprised by a 15 either.

Well, we're not out west, at least. Howard wound up a fifteen seed at 20-12. I guess that's about the range of team that they'll have us with.

We're not going to the Midwest either. This is looking better and better for us. I'd like to win a game in the FBCA. This might be my last year at Columbia.

I guess we'll be in the East region. We weren't sent down south, either.

We get the #12 in the East. Our opening round game'll be against Seton Hall.

Boy, Seton Hall really outclasses us as far as talent. They've got three guys in their starting five that were top 100 recruits and all five starters are upper classman. They're acroos the board good players. None of their top seven have any deficiencies in any areas important to their positions. This game is gonna be tough.

I didn't notice any ranked teams losing on opening Thursday. So I'm getting worried about how likely big upsets are. We play on Friday. Seton Hall is the #19 team in the country.

We get on the board first after Calvin Mcmahan hits a jumper. We lost the jump ball. But they missed a quick three. They answer quickly to tie it at two. On the way back McMahan hits Luchi cutting to the hoop and Gianpolo jams it to put us back up. They answer right away again. It's going at a high pace. Only 44 seconds have gone by.

On our next trip Mcmahan gets fouled by their point, Mckinley Graham, as he cuts inside. Graham picks up a tech arguing about it with the refs. Calvin hits both Technical free throws. But we can't close on the ensuing possession.

We go back and forth unsuccessfully for a few trips until they hit a three to take a one point lead. The defense settle a little after that. It takes us a few trips to get the basket that puts us back up by one, 8-7. Another minute goes by before we are able to tack on another one, 10-7. They tie it on the next trip with a three.

It goes pretty much back and forth with us getting the better of the action. At the ten-minute mark, we lead 21-17. The shot that put us up by four, a Nelsen jumper from the key off of a feed from Irbe, forces the Seton Hall coach to call the games first timeout. They of course answer with a three out of the break, 21-20. ther off guard, Fredric Gurney, broke free from a trap and dribbled all over the court before knocking it down. Right now, Irbe is my only starter that's on the floor. They've got three. We controlled the game when the situation was reversed.

After about a minute of futility, Irbe hits a tre to put us back up by four. Mcmahan comes in on the next stoppage-- because of a Dee Gurola reach in that evens the teams at five team fouls-- and promptly jumps the passing lane to rip one for a breakaway layup in the other direction.

We push Seton Hall into the penalty when Thomas Nelsen draws a hack on an inside move with seven minutes and fourteen seconds left. He goes one for two to put us ahead by four again. They come down and close to 26-25 on an in-out-in bouncer of a three.

After a few futile trips by both teams, Nelsen works his way back to the line on another inside move. This time he hits both. They score four unanswered to tie it up on the next few turns on the court.

They take the lead, 31-29, at 3:22. I decide to use a timeout to get my guys in. I want to close with a surge.

Calvin Mcmahan immediately drwas a shooting foul. That means that we'll be shooting the bonus on any more this half. He hits both to tie the game at 31.

They get the next basket though. We are also terrible the next couple of trips. Then they make what seems like ten passes before Mckinley Graham hits a three. That shot puts them ahead, 36-31. But he gets whistled for taunting afterwards. That leads to an ejection. Unfortunately, Mcmahan misses both technical shots.

They score two more unanswered to put them nine ahead, 40-31. that forces me to take another timeout. The half ends with the score 42-33. Our problem is that we can't hit the broadside of the barn.

Also, they are used to dealing with players of our caliber. We are used to playing teams that can't handle our inside scoring. It seems like they've already swatted five of our shots (actually, checking the stats, it's six). Our FG% is 30.8-- theirs: 45.9.

We close to within five by 14:38, 50-45. But it seems that we're firing on all cylinders just to stay in the gym with them. We've closed a couple of times just to have them nail a three to put them back up.

Gleb Irbe makes me eat my words by stealing a pass on the next possession and taking it the other way for a layup. That forces a Seton Hall timeout. They of course score on the next trip, 52-47. We fail to answer and then they hit another three, 55-47. Another turnover by us and another three makes it 58-47. Then another 'T' by us.

At 10:37 it's 68-53. They are blowing us off the court. the timeouts ain't slowing their momentum at all. It's almost over. We need to get it under ten within the next two minutes to have a chance.

By 7:50, it's over at 80-53-- Seton Hall.

It winds up 86-64. I'm proud of my guys for sticking with them so long. They really had us outclassed. We don't have the long distance shooters to come back from big defecits late.
