As for the status on the graduated Loggers - McVey landed an outstanding position with a securities company and Curtiss is working on his Masters at a college in the midwest.  Curtiss did play a stint in Australia over the summer.

As good as they are on the court - most Loggers are students first and athletes second.  An even greater compliment to what Bridgeland accomplished and Lunt is maintaining.  These guys will excel even more in their working careers... and life goes on after basketball... as much as we would like to see them play even more.  But there are some impressive new guys coming in this year and five quality-minute players are returning.  Should be another exciting run at the Fieldhouse.

As posted in the Midwest section...

I don't have a lot of time in my busy life to read these posts but have been watching it the last few days and decided to register just to post a comment on the seating situation this past weekend.

Due to the size of the gym the seating arrangements were not the best.  But given the amount of room available in the bleachers at the end of the court there was no need for IWU fans to sit in the UPS section.  When many of us arrived an hour before the game Saturday night there was a large group of IWU fans that had already seated themselves right in our section.  Of course we asked to have them moved to the open bleachers under the basket.  We didn't come 2,000 miles through two plane flights each way to be seated between IWU fans.  If the end bleachers had been full then I would understand the argument... but even so we still had many IWU fans in our section while there was ample room for them in the other bleachers.  Some even covered their IWU shirts just to be able to stay and cheer around us.  I guess having a sideline seat was more important than displaying support for your team... much less respecting the other team's fans.  If we had been playing Lawrence in a full gym then I would understand not being able to have the section to ourselves... but those of you who stayed in our section were disrespectful and by 7:00pm the game was more important to us than your temper tantrums with the school officials.

Nonetheless I was very impressed with the IWU turnout on Saturday and (aside from the ones who made a big fuss out of respecting our section) met some wonderful people.  Given the fact that we had to come seven times as far as the IWU fans did I was also proud of our turnout.  I understand the radio station in Bloomington put out the call and many responded by driving up to Appleton.  I think that is great and your team certainly deserves the support.  Most of you are a great example of what makes D3 basketball so wonderful and it was wise of ESPN to pick you up for their story.

I thought both teams played their hearts out and I am proud of our team for the way they played.  UPS was right in the game up to the last few minutes and if anything I feel the West Coast schools deserve more respect then many on here seem to give us credit for.  Puget Sound is just the top entry of some very competitive programs in the NWC and SCIAC.  It could have gone either way in the end and I think any one of the four teams in Appleton would have been strong contenders in Salem.

Best of luck to the Titans in the finals and when the sectionals are back in Tacoma again we will be sure to provide you with your own section - as you would deserve for making such a long trip to support your team.
