Given Grinnell's recent publicity rush, I thought I'd post this:

I am a current student at Grinnell. Let me explain the system to
you. On
offense, Grinnell takes a shot, either a 3 or a layup, within 10
seconds. We
try to get 1/3 of our misses as offensive rebounds. We then press
and if our
opponents break the press, they get an easy layup. We also
substitute in our
entire lineup every minute or so. This results in a largely
increased number
of posessions in the game, making it possible to score that many
points. This
also works because we are in a relatively weak conference, a
conference that
has never advanced beyond the 2nd round of the NCAA D3 basketball
tournament.
As to tonight's game, I was there, and although we lost badly, I
wasn't
disappointed. Do you want to know why? This is becasue all of
Drake's team
is on scholarships and Grinnell, as a D3 school, does not offer
atheltic
scholarships to any athletes. All this game proves is that D1
athletics is
much, much better than D3. In addition, Grinnell prides itself on its
academics, not its athletics, being ranked in the top 15 of National
Liberal
Arts colleges. It is also the week before finals, which at Grinnell
is
referred to as hell week, and athletes get no break on anything.
