Captain Kangaroo Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 At the beginning of every basketball season I see a few names of obscure colleges scrolling across the ESPN ticker that I've never heard of. I've created this thread so everyone can add their list of oddball NAIA and D-3 "finds". Never heard of William Carey University (Southern Miss's first opponent). Drew's brother? Brescia plays at Jax State tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reslife4Life Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 This was last year, but I think the best random matchup I have ever seen was Portland State beat Portland Bible 114-31. Portland Bible didn't score a basket until over 12 minutes of the first half had passed, at that point it was already 38-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 University of the Sciences Beats Drexel I go back and read this piece every once in a while. A gem, from the man who last week watched the Zips win back the Wagon Wheel from the friendly confines of the Goodyear blimp, while wearing an Akron shirt!

Captain Kangaroo Posted November 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 In case the Zips-RedHawks tilt tonight gets out of hand, Gold-Biacom faces Delaware in hoops action. Hope it’s not opposite the big Maine Presque Isle vs. Maine rivalry game (I think it’s The Battle for the Itchy Puffin trophy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reslife4Life Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Looking at the slate today, the best one that I see is Norfolk State playing "Apprentice School". After further investigation, the Apprentice School Builders have a basketball roster of 16 and the most popular major on that team is Shipfitter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting at Forward, standing at 6'1", they were indeed on a break... Ross Geller! At Guard, she'll "clean" your clock on defense... Monica Geller! At Forward, standing at 6', could he be any better at basketball? Chandler Bing! At Guard, I don't think the defense will have trouble keeping their eyes on her, Rachel Green! Finally, at Forward, he took of his eating pants for this, Joey Tribbiani! Your 6th man is none other than Miss Phalange herself... Phoebe Buffay! Let's take a look at how the post play is going...

WMU also blows. 9 minutes ago, Captain Kangaroo said: Last one, I promise...🙂 North Florida faces EDWWAT tonight. Apparently that is the Edward Waters Tigers. When I first read this, I thought it was some sort of Chewbacca/Star Wars reference. That is certainly something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reslife4Life Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Yesterday, NDSU played Oak Hills Christian College. In 2021 Oak Hills had an enrollment of 94 students. They have 6 sports, Mens soccer, M&W basketball, M&W Cross Country, and Women’s volleyball. The leading scorer for Oak Hills in this game is also on the soccer team. They shot 6-49 from the floor, 1-20 from deep, and only attempted 3 free throws (making 1) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
