Small College Basketball
Small College Basketball in the early portion of the season

There have been many exciting games and milestones that have been reached in the early portion of the 2010-11 season.  Just wanted to throw out a few positive accomplishments from the first month of the season:

*  William Jewell’s long-time coach, Larry Holley, has surpassed 800 wins.  This places him in the top 15 of all time of four-year college coaches in college basketball history.

*  Oklahoma Wesleyan’s Donnie Bostwick recently won his 100th game.  He is in the early portion of his fourth year, and his team is off to an 11-0 start.  Coach Bostwick has already won a National Championship and been named the NAIA Div. II National Coach of the Year.

*  Skidmore defeated Southern Vermont in an incredible 7-overtime game.  It is the longest game in NCAA Division III history.

*  Findlay recently won its 500th game in Croy Gymnasium, and has now won 94 regular season home games in a row.

*  West Liberty State is off to an incredible start, as they are 5-0, averaging 138 points per game, winning by an average of 63.8 points per game.  Their closest game to date is a 41-point win.  In the first game of the year, against an NCAA Division II opponent, they won by an astonishing 106 points.  No starter played in the second half.

*  Lincoln Memorial is off to the best start in the history of the program, with a 6-0 start.  This breaks the school record that has stood for 84 years.   Congratulations to Coach Josh Schertz and his LMU Railsplitters.

Enjoy college basketball and the many wonderful people associated with our game!
