Congrats Pios

Sorry for all of the confussion with the bad calls during the game.  The LU announcers made it sound like it was just horrible up there and that everyone in the place was standing up screaming at the ref's the whole game.  In regards to only have the 2 fouls in the first half, I think that it is a lot better with refs actually just let the game go on and don't call every little thing as I am sure most people would agree.  As long as the calls are fair and not one sided for a team they should just be able to play the game. 

Lawrence 67, St. Norbert 52 - FINAL

Knox 77, Illinois College 75 - FINAL

Lake Forest 110, Grinnell 93 - FINAL

Carroll 48, at Beloit - 31 HALFTIME

Sounds like it was a good game up at Alex, can't wait to hear from someone that was actually there.  By the sounds of the webcast the refs were once again horrible, but LU pulled it out.  Congrats to LU for going undefeated in regular season this year what a great accomplishment.

Highly questionable call with 3.4 (that only the ref Koester saw that way) left that gave the ball back out to LU under their basket and lead to game winner.   

I was watching that play from a pretty good angle, and it was a good call. What happened was MacGillis was looking for bradley under the hoop and Bradley put a move on his defender that also faked out MacGillis. Kyle's pass was headed out of bounds anyway, but LU got really lucky and the ball clearly went off a Carroll shoulder. Wasn't even a little nick, it bounced off of his shoulder out of bounds. LU got lucky on the play, for sure, as it probably would have been a turnover, but it did go off a CC shoulder and the ref made the right call.

I didn't get to see it but I trust vicar (and the oafs, as scared as that makes me!).  From my spot behind LU's bench, all i saw was a bad pass that went out of bounds.  At this point the CC fans were going nuts for the sake of going nuts (who wouldn't be!) so I couldn't read the crowd.  Scheper seemed hyped, but I couldn't tell if it was good hyped or bad hyped.  And the ref seemed to take forever to make the signal.  All I can recall is looking at my buddies and saying: "Is it ours?" over and over and over.

As a Carroll fan I can say that the ball did go off of Carroll, but what happen right after that is the ref pointed saying it was Carrolls ball and then all of the sudden turned around giving the ball back to Lawrence.  The right call was made but the confussion came from the ref calling it Carroll ball first.

I wouldn't count on Carroll lossing to them 2 more times either.  Next week at Carroll is going to be a tough game for LU.  The place is going to be packed and Carroll is going to be hyped up for the game.  Can't wait for next wednesday to see a great game.  Remember Carroll only lost to LU at Alex by 5 earlier this year.

I may be wrong but I thought if it came down to a tie it would go to the school that hasn't won a conference championship the longest (Carroll)  I believe a couple of years ago it almost came down to a tie and that is what I heard then.  Some one correct me if I am wrong.

I do have to also say that Ripon looked a little better then when I saw them play earlier this year.  Dispite the score they didn't turn the ball over like they were earlier in the season.  They were playing a little more like a team.  I kind of figured they might turn it around a little this year with some time

The Roop, yeah I know they can't but sorry to say it was 87-62, hoopsville now has the right score up too.

Carroll 87 Ripon 62 
Carroll had a rough first half with leading only by 1 at half time but then came out and played hard in the second half

I was unable to make it to the Carroll/Beloit game but have been watching Carroll for the past 4 years the thing that I have noticed with them is that them seem to play down to their opponents, but they do step it up when they need to.  If you look at their records the past couple of years they have lost games they shouldn't have.  They need to start playing every game the same and not look at their opponent's record before the game.
