As I said last night, Schniedermeier vanished from the game completely shortly after the second half began. I hope that he didn't get hurt. I'll try to get an update on that as well.

As of posting this hadn't been answered yet, and excuse my lack of knowledge b/c this is only my second IWU game of the season (and 2nd after being back in town for the first time since 2006), but in the second half, one of NP's players left the game and didn't come back (so it could be Schniedermeier). The players/refs were looking at the floor for a while, so possibly he lost a contact?

Definitely an awesome showing from both IWU and Carthage. I agree that if Carthage can keep their big men out of foul trouble, they'll be landslide hard to stop... I enjoyed watching them with their arms up and all over the place on defense...

Thought I'd post this photo of Schlemm fouling out. Both Z. Freeman and Schlemm had 4 fouls. Schlemm got called for it.

On the topic of scrimmages, does anyone from the IWU crowd know if there will be an alumni game? If scrimmages are over and there's no IWU JV, then I guess not...?

Thank you, gentlemen. And may I also note for the record that I am absolutely terrified by the fact that oldreporter can quote verbatim a post of mine that's almost seven years old? 

That's how us reporters (former or otherwise) are...long memories...like elephants. But having a computer to save the text also helps. (and if gentlemen was directed at Hoops and me, that should be lady and gentleman 8))

Again, I haven't read his column in years, and for all I know he does mention Pat's site in it.

Wow, so potentially, this could be the most pointless conversation any of us has ever had.  That would be an amazing feat, given the inanity of off-season chat on this site.

Agreed. Whenever someone on CCIW Chat gripes about us going off on an unproductive tangent, we can just paste in this conversation in its entirety. 

Sager--
With your quip about pasting in a past conversation, I just couldn't resist...

My all time favorite post dates back to the 99-00 season, when you made up a list of why the CCIW was the "wildest conference in the land." Note that I don't usually copy and save posts (this being the only one I have)! This one was too good to leave to memory, and I've been looking for an opening to repost it in honor of your humor...and then had to find it in the many old files I have...

QuoteSager's Top Ten Reasons Why the CCIW Is The Wildest Conference In the Land:

10) North Central whips first-division North Park by seventeen, and three days later is whipped in turn by lowly Elmhurst by a whopping thirty-two...and both games are played in the airplane hangar.

9) Micah Watkins attempts as many treys as Rick Alspach, and makes more...yet North Park still defeats nationally twelfth-ranked Carthage.

8.) Korey Coon finally snaps out of his slump...and he does it in a game where Wesleyan loses at home (of all places) in its most crucial contest to date of the season.

7) Two absolutely *huge* games with conference title and NCAA bid implications go right down to the wire...and yet the best game of the night is a double-overtime tilt between also-rans Millikin and Augustana.

6) Carthage outrebounds North Park by seven, and outdoes the Vikes on the offensive boards by a massive ten-carom margin...and still loses.

5) Bosko Djurickovic shows up for a game looking unusually dapper. Guess that that muted gray ensemble is going back into the closet and never coming out again.

4) All-everything Mastodon superstar Lukas Moo plays less than a half and fouls out, in Wesleyan's gym...and his Wheaties still leave McLean County with a "W" and a first-place tie in the CCIW loss column.

3) A CCIW Chat post becomes prime locker-room bulletin board fodder. Redmen Walking's post from Friday about "pretty boy Alspack [sic]" and "the Viking ship is sinking" is copied off numerous times by one of the NPU assistant coaches, taped to various walls in and around the ol' crackerbox, and is also taped to every player's locker in the NPU locker room. And when the final horn sounds, everyone in blue and gold wants to know who Redmen Walking is, so that they can give him a big thank-you hug.

2) Bill "Benches? We don' need no steenking benches!" Harris finally picks up the elusive win in Bloomington...and he does it by having a deeper bench than Wesleyan.

1) Sager celebrates the big win by listening to North Park alums (and Carthage fans) Mark Pytel and Chris Sitowksi warble "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" on the Hollywood karaoke machine.

It doesn't get any weirder than this.

Heh. I love it.

The "yell at the TV gene during games" gene can't be only on the Y chromosome, cause I totally do that too sometimes. ... in the office, the whole time during that game Wheaton beat IWU at the Shirk by 12.

Yeah, it's the same way with me and that gene -- away games and WJBC broadcasts. Gosh, I'd have the (IWU) Argus office laughing at me in the same way for the hands waving in the air "arghhh, what are you doing, don't do that" comments i'd yell at the little box on the table, and then return to staring at it, with my elbows bent, leaning onto to the table, with my nose 10 inches from the speaker when the guys would be behind/losing. They compared me to Coach Yoast's daughter in Remember the Titans...

I'm not a D3 athlete. I just want to know if any of the CCIW kids in the central Illinois area play summer league basketball, and if so, where.

I was aware, back in 2002, of players having played in summer 2001 up in the chicago area. Talk to the players at your school.

Hey, all you Titan/CCIW fans who may have earlier contacted Mary Bible at IWU regarding the fan buses:

If you originally called Mary about reserving space on the fan bus, but have since made alternate plans, please call Mary so that she knows not to expect you...

309-556-3093 or mbible@iwu.edu

She would really appreciate this.

Can anyone explain the NCAA seating rule concerning designated sections for fans Several IWU folks had to move because they were in the UPS section tonight.

Its actually up to the site administrator..........funny story 4 elderly Witt fans wanted to sit in their usual seats last night..........so they did.  Right in the middle of the Hope student section.  8) But I'll give them credit, they stood the whole game, the administrator did not see fit to remove them.

Just too bad the site administrator carried a double standard... there were LU fans sitting in the IWU section for the IWU/LU game who were not asked to move... (not to mention this IWU fan sitting in the Augie section for the Augie/UPS game).

but other than that (and the line for the Women's restroom at half-time!), I thought that the old gym had a lot of character and that LU hosted well.

Congrats to the three teams that bowed out, and congrats to IWU as well.

Hey, I know of few of the IWU fans I talked to at the Whitewater game metioned the lack of our school song... IWU's website is currently down and I'm getting ready to head out... could someone get a copy and make some copies and bring them up???

Go IWU, Go Augie!

Let's make sure that no one else posts of quiet titan fans...

So one thing that sorta stinks for this thing is this example:

Lets say that Augie sells all of its 500 tickets (who knows if this will even happen), and Augie wins and LU wins too.  Then, on Saturday, only 350 of those 500 will be able to see the championship.  So you got 150 people that drive up for the game and all that but dont get to see the championship.  Guess there is no way around it but it might make up my mind.  I dont want to drive 10 hours and not get to see the championship game if that were to happen

Hey AS, I guess those of us we can't get tickets could always watch the game from the green room

I think the 350 limit is if LU wins vs. IWU. If IWU wins and LU is not at the Champ, wouldn't the ticket numbers revert to the 50/50 as in the Augie/UPS game?  The press release may be worded the way it is for the case that if Lawrence wins, the opposing team would only be allotted those 350 tickets, but if IWU wins, then the extra 150 could be sold?

...and about the GreenRoom... how loud do fans have to get to be heard in the gym?

I have seen nothing as yet on Lawrence-IWU. 

IWU has the ticket info up: the greenies get 350 seats and tix go on sale tues mar 7 at noon, for everyone. From the site:

QuoteIWU will have an allotment of 350 tickets available for the 8 p.m. game only and those tickets will go on sale for everyone at 12 noon Tues., March 7 at the Shirk Center concession stand.

oh, and if there are no augie tickets available when i get up there friday, GO AUGIE (I guess I'll be cheering from the GREEN ROOM).

We might see a NC vs. IWU round 3 on March 10/11. 
Good luck to all

... and hopefully we'll see an NCC vs. Augie, or IWU vs. Augie in the next round... (conference tourney all over again...)

Just gotta give a tip of my hat to NCC for keeping an iron grasp on their win last night. And Simmons' ability to pull off a shot was simply amazing... (first time I've seen IWU vs NCC this year). Was glad to see Trost and IWU provide an answer (finally) in the second half. The 2.5 hour trek was definitely worth it.
