Rough night for the Loggers, 57-48....out-rebounded... great defensive game, congrats Loggers on the great run! Unranked school comes in and upsets the #12, #2, and the team that beat you three other times during the season.

Congrats UPS!!! Elite 8 time... great game, what a tough first half for both teams, terrible shooting percentages, great free throws for HPU, that was one the second best game of the season in my opinion (Of course the first being last weekend over GFU).

HPU: 0-5 from beyond the arc, 3-20 from the field, Meia Daniels is 0-6 and 0-3 from the 3 pt line. UPS is up 20-17 with under 5 to go. HPU is only in this because of their free throws.

HPU hasn't scored a field goal in 12 mins.

All I've got to say tonight is... it is a shame that the NWC can't be better represented in Iowa. I am proud of the outstanding fans that NWC has provided this season. Heckling has been at an all time high, classy comments are a premium, and the classlessness has been kept to a minimum. It would be nice for the Sweet 16 to be a little closer so the fans as well as the ladies could support UPS on its run to the Finals.

I've been brewing over these stats for a few days now, seen some HPU tape, I'll give credit when credit is due. Daniels is All American... enough said. That girl can ball. I just haven't seen the depth that UPS can provide, granted, the bench has to be hot all night and that has been one of UPS's defining moments as of late. If the bench stays hot, UPS has a real chance to take this one away from HPU. Look forward to sitting in front of my computer for 2 hours tomorrow night listening on D3.

I believe we have a deeper bench. Our players off the bench could be starters on almost any other team in the nation. I do believe HP,U's stats show that they are OUTSTANDING 3 point shooters - 31 for 127?? 145 for 442, 32% as a team Wow, and your stars are roughly 28% beyond the arc? I mean sure, you have players shooting 57%, but come on, when you are 5-9 in a season..... I don't think that says a whole lot.

Meia Daniels, if and when she gets shut down, it will be done by our four oustanding posts who can rotate to wings who can even rotate to guards when need be. Our players are versatile, quick, and play unbelievable defense. This will probably be one of the best games of the tournament and am sad that I won't be able to make it out to lovely Iowa to see it happen. Hopefully see you at the Final Four though!!! Go Logs!!!

I would like to offer my apologies as to the behavior of the few fans in the car that evening. I too saw this happen and would like to say that this is NOT typical of UPS fans. We may ride the players during the game, but not to the extent that GFU did Saturday night. Starting off the Airball wasn't bad.... I must say. But there comes a time when fans cross the line to degradation of players and that is completely unnecessary.

In response to Swiss... don't start getting off on the rest of us about bad-mouthing players, you rode UPS posts after the first two losses constantly. I do recall there was a lot about how unstoppable the 33 and 40 were and how our little 5'8" couldn't do anything to stop them, if you look at the stats, I believe Campbell didn't score on Adderley all night.

You blatantly called out UPS players in earlier posts and get offended when we do the same. This is much like the refereeing that went on during the game. GFU does no wrong, NEVER commits a foul, but when they do, pardon the pun, but god have mercy on the ref's!!! The fans at GFU act like their players are god-sends. The game was a little one-sided in the second half but that's what happens when you have players who drive the ball to the hoop (UPS) and players who throw shots up the moment they cross half-court (GFU). It's hard to foul someone when they don't do anything but shoot from the perimeter.

I am happy that we got HPU in the Sweet 16 because it will be nice to see a strong McMurry showing against, at the time, the #1 school in the nation.  I believe that since there is no home court advantage, barring any unbelievable nights from their post, HPU will have a hard time defending against the constant barrage of fresh players that Barcomb will be throwing at them.

I will say though, this matchup with HPU will be tough.  While UPS does have the deepest bench in the NWC and maybe even the deepest in the West, HP is the #2 team in the nation. You don't get that way without having some good players.

A few things:

1) We are ALL relieved that we are not going to Texas. 4,000 Texans is a hard crowd to beat, GFU has been the hardest group all season and 1200 is nothing compared to 4,000+.

2) Almost 64% shooting for the game, stats like that are hard to beat.

3) UPS needs to have another one of its games, not unlike Saturday, where things go its way. If you want to argue logistics about referees, try to remember way back when at the NWC Conference Game when UPS didn't go to the line in the first half, then we can talk. HP needs to be shut down early and UPS needs to come out strong, with a halftime lead of 5+, I really believe that UPS can hold on and upset the #2 team in the nation.

GO LOGS!

Well look as though the Loggers DID have enough left to pull it out. Sorry SWISS and Ralph, it was too sweet... the best part was cutting down YOUR net on YOUR court. God victory has never been sweeter. GFU may lead the series this year, but the Loggers win when it matters. Our posts held Campbell to 8 and Marek-Farris to 5 on Saturday. I don't know about you, but I think that a 5'8" post, a 6'1" post and a 6'3" post holding two of the better players in the conference to a combined 13 points is not too shabby.

In regards to Robin, she led your team. That girl is honestly legit. As for Jaime, another wonderful night for her shooting. Tiffany... well let's just leave it at that.

Sweet 16.... Howard Payne/Iowa here we come!!

Great job last night Loggers, GFU, not a bad showing either. Too bad you put everything you had into last night's game, it'll be interesting to see if you can maintain that same determination and hustle in tonight's 2nd round.

Taylor, unbelievable game last night. Lights out from beyond the arc, 20+ points when it was all said and done. Kubka was really off last night, I don't remember one of her 10+ 3's even dropping. Campbell and Farris were steady as usual but the team rode on Taylor's shoulders last night. With that said, tonight looks to be a night for the Log's.

After last night's impressive showing against the #12 team in the nation, I still contend that that must be one really bad division if McMurry is #12, they sure didn't look it last night.  All their hopes seem to ride on Robinson which can't win you the game, especially with the UPS defense. Hirsch really stepped it up and showed why she is All Conference last night. Shelby Ramirez, unbelievable hustle as always, that girl has some serious heart. All of the Loggers played quite well last night, it was a solid game and I see that translating into tonight.

PS - Togas are a terrible idea come gametime.

Hopefully it'll be a tight one. UPS got McMurry on Thursday evening which is going to be tough, #9 in the nation. UPS can pull out a win if they hold Butler and Richardson in check. I'd really like to see UPS v. GFU again on Friday, I know it'd be the fourth time this season, but the match-up has yet to disappoint. I think the Logger's know what needs to be done in the 2nd half this time to pull out a win.
