The Holy Cross College Saints come to the ARC at 1-2 with losses to Bethel College (68-67) and Andrews University (68-43). In their last game, they beat Great Lakes Christian College 83-77 in OT.

I think Valpo rolls to an easy victory in this one.

Kidding of course, but this won't be close.
They have a poll running over on the rather sophisticated Gameday setup at valpoathletics.com. Somebody must be stuffing the ballot box - Holy Cross keeps hovering around 20-25%.
75-28 with 8 minutes left.
...and 88-38 final.
Massacre at the ARC. I stayed until half time before heading home with my 5 year old. I have to teach in the morning and he has school, so this worked out perfectly. Anyways, here is my half game wrap up, http://sectionee.blogspot.com/2011/11/game-wrap-up-half-game.html (http://sectionee.blogspot.com/2011/11/game-wrap-up-half-game.html)
See you Friday

For what its worth I don't like the new setup at the Valpo website. First, I couldn't find a way to watch it full screen. Had to watch the small box with the chat going on. I had to go to Horizon site to watch the game as I prefer. Next, the Horizon feed goes off and I want to go back to the Valpo site to pick up the radio feed for the post game. No link. I may be computer challenged but this just didn't hit my fancy.

I couldn't find a way to stop the annoying chat update sound, so I went to the UStream site (where I could watch it in full screen too.)
According to Valpo Fred in the Gameday chatroom on the Valpo athletics website he would like your feedback on the changes to the gameday page. Make sure you send him this negative criticism too.
A button to hide the chat if you're only interested in watching the game would probably be good.
Woo hoo, guessed our point total correctly, but wouldn't thought of guessing 38... I also don't like how I couldn't put it to full screen. I always watch the games on my TV, and it just looked too small with this setup.
NEWS FLASH:
Eric Buggs knocks down a three! :thumbsup: :clap: :dance: :cheers: :thewave:
It was nice not having to open so many windows to see the game, but I agree that the video of the game was small. They could have made the ad about the Coaches vs. Cancer t-shirt donations be a lot smaller to make the video bigger. The chat function is too big, and if fans don't want to be in it, you don't have to roll over the arrow to open it. Warning of this change to the website, unless it was mentioned on the site earlier, would have been nice to have had mentioned here. I don't always check the site to see if they are changing the website for the sake of the game, and we're just lucky that basketball was the only thing going on today. If any other teams had been playing at the same time, having the site practically shutdown for the game wasn't completely rewarding, and made it seem that our university only values men's basketball most when they are at the ARC.

Yeah, that's how I got full screen. I was able to click on the video, the one embedded in the screen with the chat, to get to it.

I'd definitely rather have it "mostly video" rather than "mostly chat and (basketball) ads". I was thinking of video across the top 2/3 of the screen, with the chat as the bottom 1/3 or 1/4 or so.
just peeked at the gameday thing. Kinda neat that you can see the chat even after its over. Interesting to see the comments. What a huge improvement from only audio last game! Will look forward to watching some of this weekend's games via gameday.
