What is this, the third time in 4 years a NWC team is in the Elite Eight? Will we ever get our teams in different brackets? We definitely would have a good chance at getting two teams into the top eight if given the opportunity. But will it ever happen? Good luck to UPS tomorrow! Keep proving how good the west is!!!

Having commented on the free-throw count last weekend and being quickly put in my place that it had nothing to do with the outcome of the game and that UPS didn't attack and GF in fact didn't foul, I find it ironic that anyone from GF would be talking about the foul count now.
PLU was picked to finish first and finished sixth, pre-season polls tend to not be the most accurate predictor of a game, just as stats aren't always a good predictor of game outcomes. The NWC is a tough conference, there are never any gimme games.
Now that that is over, good luck to UPS in the next round.
Hopefully the NWC will continue making a statement to keep getting 2 teams into the dance, and perhaps even start sending us to different sites so that we can prove how far our conference can go, as obviously both GF and UPS are both great teams that can do some damage around the country, and both teams are also very deserving of playing in the Sweet Sixteen.
Again, good luck to UPS in Iowa and congrats to GF on a great season.

I believe I said that George Fox did a good job of shutting down the Loggers in the second half. But come on, you think that didn't make a big difference in the flow of the game?

To take nothing from the Bruins, a good team that did a good job shutting down the UPS offense second half. But 27 freethrow attempts for the Bruins and SIX for the Loggers, and not one attempt for UPS until the 11 minute mark in the second half. I don't even know what to say. 27 to six.
Here's to getting two teams in.

Been sitting back and watching for awhile. A Logger fan all the way, I have to disagree with hoopnut regarding the match-up between Fox and UPS. Fox has 2 of the most talented posts in the league and UPS has their hands full with the inside outside game of the Bruins. If you are going to look at stats to predict who wins the post battle Marek-Farris wins all the way. She is shooting over 50% from the field, making the most of every possession and is consistently scoring and rebounding.
A re-match between the teams will obviously come down to defense, as both teams have shown they have scoring power. I don't think that guarding the Bruins 3-ball automatically opens up the inside. The Loggers shouldn't be doubling down on the posts no matter what defense they are in so guarding the 3-ball shouldn't change the inside game.
With the games that George Fox has left they are in the drivers seat to win the conference. Hopefully for the Bruins Linfield doesn't make a run for third place. In the end though, stats look good on paper and it will come down to who shows up to play (defense).
