In regards to LaX vs. RF - First of all LaX could not hit a basket most of the first half and turned the ball over left and right.  They managed to fight back to get the game into OT, but by the end of the second half LaX had two starters fouled out of the game which I think hurt them in OT.  The officiating in this leauge is so terrible and inconsistent.  They are not the reason LaX lost, but they certainly did not help. RF is a good team - they fought till the end and they won.
I think LaX has a lot of talent, but they often get out coached.  Coach Heeren calls timeouts at times when her team has momentum going their way and doesn't call timeouts when the team is clearly struggling.  I don't get it.  Look at what happened against Superior...LaX was up by one with 7 seconds left and Superior had no timeouts, what does Lois do?  She calls a timeout, giving Superior time to set up a play which they ended up scoring on to win the game!    On top of that her substituting is very questionable and I've heard she's not much of a motivator.

Duoss rules at standing in the middle of the lane for entire posessions at a time - that's where height is really an advantage!

I've been watching for awhile and I agree Stout fans are getting a little defensive.  I know people who have played for Mark Thomas and have outright admitted that he encourages players to be dirty and see what they can get away with.  So don't act like they are just being aggressive, we all know better than that.  He is smart however, get a huge recruiting class by promising people playing time so they go to Stout but then have them sit the bench.  That way they aren't playing for the competition, right?  He also has the advantage of hosting AAU.
What is frustrating about this league is refs are so inconsitent.  They'll let Stout get away with fouls and "aggressive" play, but then call those things on the other team.  Kelsey Duoss is one of the better player I've seen in the WIAC but if the refs enforced the 3 second rule on her she'd be in trouble.   She'll sit in the lane all night but then the refs will call a 3 second violation on the other team, it's rediculous.
It will be interesting to see what happens tonight.  I'm a sucker for the underdog so I'm hoping LaCrosse comes out on top.
