Won again, now are playing in the semi-finals of the AAC. Not bad for a team picked to finish dead last in the preseason.

haha heck yeah man...the scoreboard on the internet went down so I had to call a buddy that went to the game to find out if we won. I'm really surprised that we beat TWC for a second time this year cause they were in the top 2 or 3 all year long.

Yea, really suprised me also. If we win one more game do we go to the next tournament? I'm dumb as far as NAIA playoffs are concerned, if the game wasn't at two tomorrow I'd go watch them play.

I believe as long as we make it the championship game we are guarenteed to make the national tourney. I could be wrong, but I believe it is just like HS in district play. Make it to the championship and you go to regions. I'm pretty positive that is the way the NAIA works also.

A couple of the players go to my church..
Good Luck the rest of the tourny

I think you are correct in that assessment.

We will have to win out to go on to the next turny. they just changed the rule that states that number one regural season champ gets to go and who ever wins the turny. if we only get 2nd in the turny TWC goes

playing Union College today...started at 2:00

with 12:00 left in 2nd half, we down by 9, 51-42

Parker has 19 as of now...possibly his last game

**OAR** · February 24th, 2006, 04:37 PM

67-52 Union with 5:44 to go

Parker has 23 pts and Jarred has 13. Z has played like crap this game. He is 1-8 from the field and 5-10 at the free throw line. Looks like our chance to the national tourney is gonna fall short.

Game over...final score was 91-78 Union.

Some stats from the game:

Parker Gemmell: 8-18 FG, 14-17 FT, 32 pts.
Jarred Soles: 7-18 FG, 5-5 FT, 24 pts.
Zydrunas Rackauskas: 2-9 FG, 5-10 FT, 9 pts., 10 reb.

These were are top 3 players. Parker had a good career and was a great leader on and off the floor. Z got AAC Freshman of the Year and depending on the recuiting class for next, they'll probably be in the middle of the pack for next year's preseason polls. That would be a lot better than being picked for last place. Good season guys!
