Congrats to the Blazers on the win.

Here's hoping the Gusties get a bid as well.

Willy - It's old news but I thought reffing was very inconsistent on Thursday.  Held balls at one end were reach fouls at the other. In addition,  have found the refs this year did not at all look for body fouls in the paint. Too much watching the ball.

For the record, #44 came in for White who did a great job on Monahan. Also, Chelsea (#44) will be a great player, she's a freshman with tons of talent!

Good luck to all in the tourney.

Blazer, Collegeville - Your cockiness is well earned and derserved (That's as close to a compliment as I can get today  :))

Nites- As one who also points out Tammy's on-court antics, I am in agreement as to her class. She's a real pro and worthy of respect. Like me, her competitve juices get the better of her...maybe that's why I like her!

Still have to pull for the Gusties though.

Just back from St. Peter  :-[

Congrats to the Gusties. Their final 8 minutes were impressive and I cannot take anything away from them. Vadnais had some unreal drives and made shots, congrats.

Thankfully, the patheic officials did not have any influence on the outcome. How those three clowns got a playoff game is beyond me. They stunk!

Go get those cocky Bennies!

Congrats to the Cobber seniors Keely, White and Krabbenhoft. They will be missed and they had a great career at a great school with a great coach.

Didn't want this to end this way....sob!

Willy - I'll be too dressed up coming from work to dress in my Maroon and Gold fatigues. Guess I'll go with understated black.... :D

East Coast - I'll give you the 72 points is not a total defensive effort. however, Cobbers aren't averaging giving up that many points. they did (And do) play enough good defense when they have to.

Looking forward to a great game tonight....Oh God, give us good refs!

Safe travels to all.

East Coast, LA Rams- So much for poor defense and a long road trip! I prefer to avoid predictions and keep my pontificating to the quality of officiating... ;)

Kitties fade in a wild second half. Cobber Freshman Chelsea Evenstad delivers quality mintues with Hageman in foul trouble and shuts down the Kittie post (I think that's defense). Unable to get the offense to go through the post, Kittie's defense goes flat. Cobber defense on Petrich holds her to mere 5 points. Defensive rebound edge to the Cobbers by 10.

Keely puts the Cobbers on her back in the second half and carries them to victory.

Yeah, we can beat a team three times in a row...

Onto Gustavus!!

Blazerguy- I empathize with you! After the game the Cobbers had at St. Thomas, anything is possible with this squad. Unfortunately, they seem to pull off the miracle non-call at a crucial time. I'm glad they have to play Tammy in the first round.

Cobbers cruise in a game that looks closer than it was and take third place. Bring ont he Kitties! :D

Wierd ending to the season, makes the tourney a real toss-up!

Nites, GAC- Pending the expected outcome tomorrow in Winona and a win vs. the Kitties, we relish another tight one in St. Peter!

Good luck to all!

Be careful in Northfield...it's Tammy time!

CSB, put on the extra pads, the Tommies are getting away with murder this time of year. But if Marty is officiating, you'll be fine. He and Mike are tight I hear. ;D

Collegeville- HAH! Great response! I have the number committed to memory.

GAC- I wouldn't give UST too much credit for the Cobber win. Same old physical Tommies were able (Allowed) to knock the Cobbers out of their game.

I take this loss as more poor execution of the Cobbers vs. anything spectacular by the Tommies.

Congrats to Bri!

Cobber lose to the Tommies on a nightmare shooting day. Tommies physical play did the job and kept the Cobbers off balance all day.

Looks like no big suprises today.

2 games left and lots to be decided.

Collegeville, what's your credit card number, I'll get those tapes off to you... ;D

For those interested, I'm selling copies of the game tapes from the last six Cobber/Gusties games... ;D

But wait! If you act now, I'll throw in a free copy of my "How to effectively communicate your thoughts to officials" booklet. A must-have for the interested fan.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Yawn- Couldn't muster a post after getting home from Moorhead at 1:30 this morning. BUT NOW...

Perfect scenario for a Royals win last night:

1. Bethel coach must be reading this board, he put together a very well executed player rotation that kept his bigs ready and rested. Thielke (Welcome back!) goes off for 13 and her presence only made Hansen (I'm a BIG fan!) more effective.

2. Cobbers were clearly sluggish coming off the hard-played GAC game and Bethel did a good job with pressure.

3. Bethel benefits from a ref crew that allowed their game. Marty, Mike and Scott determined that 3 seconds could be more like 6, displacement and over-the-back were not fouls and hand checking was allowed. Make no mistake, If I'm a Royal and I see this, I capitalize and they surely did. BUT, with a team as big and physical and the Royals, rules interpretations (Or lack thereof ;)) are a recipe for disaster.

I'm not knocking the Royals play, I'm knocking the lack of funadmental rules enforcement.

By the way, thanks St. Mary's!

Wonka- Excellent observation on the officiating, I agree it was a tale of two halves. Although consistent by half, it makes the game tough for players to adjust.

It did look as though Vadnais was somewhat slowed, although the pressure D by multiple Cobbers had an impact I think. Also, I thought the D on Monihan was very good, she seemed out of sorts on offense.

Shooting on both sides was sub-par, but given the defense tone, I guess that's to be expected.

Be happy to take you up on the Norris offer!

Good luck the rest of the way.

Blazer- I will say a bright spot for the Gusties tonight was #5 Radtke. She handled the ball with poise and her defense was reasonable. However, she was no offensive threat.

The frustration was evident in the BIG TWO, they couldn't play their game. Cobbers just match up well against this team.

Now, stay healthy the rest of the way. We'd like to play a full game against you!

Blazer fans- You're welcome!

Cobber defense holds the BIG TWO below their season averages in a very tough defensive battle. Cobbers owned the defensive boards while Hageman ran free in the paint.

I wish we could play this well against the Bennies, maybe we'll get another shot at them.

Mr Coleman, no claims of national ranking merit here....we know our place ;)

Finally, thank-you Pipers!
