Here’s a look at some of the best games projected for webcasting this weekend. If you know of other games worth checking out, don’t be shy. Please post the link and time below so we can all share in the fun.
FRIDAY
Men: No. 14 Hope vs. Wheaton (Ill.)
Friday @ 8 PM EST
Broadcast on Yahoo! Sports by Hope College
Dear Hope:
I’m sorry I didn’t put you on my preseason Top 25. I forgot. Yeah, that’s it…forgot. Please accept this billing in the Weekend Warrior and my sincerest apology. PS – That’s a fancy new house you have. I can forward you my address if you ever feel like sending complimentary tickets…
Men: New Jersey City vs. Rowan
Friday @ 8 PM EST
Broadcast on the Green and Gold Club (NJCU)
December 2 is too early for any game to be a “must win,” but both teams need this one badly. There is too much parity in the NJAC to fall far behind if you want to host NJAC tournament games come February. You can also hear the women’s game at 6 PM.
Women: No. 6 George Fox vs. Whitworth
Friday @ 9 PM EST
Broadcast on KFoxRadio.net (George Fox)
If you’re on the east coast, the NWC may be one of the best women’s conferences you seldom follow. KFOX makes it easier with a full slate of broadcasts, including this showdown with the Pirates. The men follow at 11 PM EST.
SATURDAY
Men: Coast Guard vs. Kings Point
Saturday @ 1 PM EST
Broadcast on Sportsjuice.com (CGA)
One of college football’s oldest rivalries kicks off in Philadelphia on Saturday when Army plays Navy at 2:30 PM. So why not whet your appetite with another military match-up as Coast Guard hosts Kings Point? Since losing to Johnson & Wales, the Bears have bounced back nicely winning their last three by an average of more than 31 ppg. Our very own Mark Simon on the call.
Doubleheader: McMurry vs. ETBU
Saturday @ 1:45 PM EST
Broadcast on KZQQ (McMurry)
Abilene is the center of ASC West women’s hoops with No. 17 Hardin-Simmons and McMurry both blazing out of the gates. First, the Indians host the Tigers, who need to bounce back off a 20-point loss to HSU. Then the men tip at 4 PM as Coach Holmes’ squad will try to outgun D3hoops All-American Cedric Isom and co. McMurry’s Kit Kimbrell and Leon Rawlings on the call.
Men: No. 3 Wittenberg vs. Denison
Saturday @ 3 PM EST
Broadcast on Stretchcast (Wittenberg)
Why would the Tigers worry about playing a 2-3 team coming off a 36 point loss to Wooster? Because Denison shocked Witt last year with an upset win in Granville, Ohio. This one will be at HPER Center. At least, the Big Red will get some relief when they follow up Wooster and Wittenberg with…uh, Division I Akron. Nevermind.
Men: No. 1 Illinois Wesleyan vs. Chicago
Saturday @ 3:35 PM EST
Broadcast on WJBC2 (IWU)
The Titans do their best impression of a UAA team the next two Saturdays, playing Chicago this week and Wash U. the next. The Maroons have had a nice start, though the opponents weren’t real tough before this week. That changes quickly with IWU in town.
Doubleheader: UW-La Crosse vs. UW-Eau Claire
Saturday @ 6:40 PM (Women) and 8:40 PM (Men) EST
Broadcast on Sportsradio 1400 (UWEC)
Q: Which WIAC member kept its men’s and women’s teams undefeated the longest? A: UW-La Crosse where both teams started the season 5-0. The women’s team is still unblemished (6-0) while the men suffered their first loss to Whitewater earlier this week. No reast for the weary in this conference.
Men: No. 8 Hanover vs. No. 22 Elmhurst
Saturday @ 8:30 PM EST
Broadcast on Sportsjuice.com (Hanover)
I can’t confirm that this game broadcast will be on the web, but it’s too good a game not to at least try it. Hanover lost that number one vote it was getting in the preseason poll, but moved up to No. 8. Elmhurst will try to defend the CCIW’s honor against the Panther team that went 2-0 against IWU last year.
SUNDAY
Men: DePauw vs. Rhodes
Sunday @ 2 PM EST
Broadcast on WGRE (DePauw)
Without many Division III teams nearby, Rhodes has an, um, interesting non-conference schedule – Rhema Bible, Messenger, Dallas, Rust. What, no Logan Chiropractic? At least the Lynx are 5-1 as SCAC play begins this weekend.
