7-foot juco center considering SEMO
Posted Tuesday, March 16, at 11:43 PM
SEMO men's basketball coach Dickey Nutt is hot on the trail of a 7-foot junior college center and a reliable source told me the player is also very interested in the Redhawks.
Zach House, a sophomore at Sauk Valley (Ill.) Community College, is reportedly scheduled to visit the SEMO campus this weekend. House, who weighs 255 pounds, averaged about 15 points, nine rebounds and several blocked shots per game this year at Sauk Valley, which is located in Dixon, Ill., about 100 miles west of Chicago in northwestern Illinois. House started his college career at Evansville, where he redshirted in 2007-08 and then saw limited action last season. He had a total of three points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots in 10 games covering 35 minutes for Evansville. I've been told Wright State and Valparaiso are among other schools seriously recruiting House.
Willen falls just short of NCAA berth Former Notre Dame High School basketball standout Ryan Willen fell one win short of playing in the NCAA tournament. Willen, a sophomore forward at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa., had team highs of 16 points and 10 rebounds today but the Leopards lost at Lehigh 74-59 in the championship game of the Patriot League tournament that was nationally televised by ESPN2...
SEMO high on Hatchett's list I covered Thursday's Class 1 District 3 tournament championship game won by Scott County Central and had an interesting conversation with Braves senior point guard Bobby Hatchett, who is being recruited by a number of Division I programs. Hatchett told me that SEMO is "strong on my list," mentioning the Redhawks along with Mississippi and Iowa as being among his top choices...
Great crowd Saturday, now the real work begins There was quite a scene at the Show Me Center Saturday night as the largest crowd for a SEMO home basketball game in five years witnessed the season-ending 71-68 overtime loss to Austin Peay. SEMO's Show Me Sellout promotion drew an announced 5,515 fans, the most to watch the Redhawks since the 2004-05 season, when two larger crowds turned out...
New format for OVC basketball tournament The Ohio Valley Conference announced an interesting, and unusual, change in format for its postseason basketball tournament today. Beginning next season, all eight men's and all eight women's teams that qualify for the tournament will meet at one site in Nashville, Tenn., for the entire tournament. Previously first-dround games were played on campus sites, with the semifinals and finals being held in Nashville...
Struggling SEMO teams still mathematically alive SEMO's basketball teams are both limping to the finish line -- almost literally because of all their injuries -- but both are still mathematically alive to make the OVC tournament. The ninth-place men, who have lost six straight, trail eighth-place Tennessee State by two games. They must win their final two games -- both at home, Thursday against Tennessee State and Saturday against Austin Peay -- while the Tigers lose Saturday at Eastern Illinois in their other remaining league contest...
Murray shot against SEMO gets national exposure While SEMO was only a footnote to the story, the Redhawks were involved in one of the plays of the entire college basketball season -- and one that gained national attention -- during Tuesday night's 80-68 loss at Murray State that clinched the outright regular-season OVC title for the Racers...
SEMO behind in race for final tournament spot Undermanned Tennessee State -- which dismissed its top scorer and another of its top players a few weeks ago -- picked up two surprising wins in recent days, over Austin Peay and Tennessee Tech, to move ahead of SEMO in the race for the eighth and final spot for the OVC men's basketball tournament...
SEMO men hit rough patch To its credit, the SEMO men's basketball team has overachieved at various times this season, particularly given its injuries, including the loss of anticipated top player Leon Powell before the campaign even started and the loss of top inside player Cameron Butler for an extended period...
Football recruits difficult to size up I've never heard a college coach in any sport say they didn't land a good recruiting class. So SEMO football coach Tony Samuel naturally raved about his latest batch of recruits Wednesday as the signing period began. Samuel and his staff signed 17 players, with several more expected to sign in the weeks and months ahead...
