Small College Basketball Tidbits

As we approach Christmas, I simply wanted to jot down some interesting observations and notes from the first several weeks of the season.  In no particular order, here goes:

-  Langston is a remarkable story.  Last year, the Lions went 1-27. After the season, Coach Chris Wright was hired as the new Head Coach, after leading Talladega to the NAIA National Championship game.  Langston overhauled the roster, and is now 13-0 on the season.  Just incredible!

-  After Emporia State knocked off #1 ranked Northwest Missouri State, the Hornets have now defeated NW MO State in three consecutive games.  Last year - in a season when NW MO State won their record-setting 3rd consecutive NCAA Division II National Championship, Emporia State swept the Bearcats in two regular season games.  Congratulations to Coach Craig Doty, who has won two NJCAA National Championships and an NAIA National Championship in his young career.

-  Last season, Young Harris was 6-21.  Thus far this season, the Mountain Lions are 10-0 thus far.  Congratulations to Coach Jeremy Currier and the Young Harris team.

-  The University of St. Joseph is an incredible story in NCAA Division III basketball.  In only their fourth year as a basketball program - started by Coach Jim Calhoun - the Blue Jays are now the #1 ranked team in NCAA Division III basketball.  Now led by Coach Glen Miller, St. Joseph is now 9-0.  Coach Glen Miller has the unique distinction of leading two different NCAA Division III teams to the #1 ranking in Division III basketball (he also lead Connecticut College to the top spot during the 1988-89 season.  Coach Miller has also been the Head Coach at two different Ivy League schools: Penn & Brown.

-  Randolph-Macon, who won the 2022 NCAA Division III National Championship, has now won a remarkable 53 straight home games.  Incredible!
