Pios lose to Whitman. Tough to win a game when you give up 21 offensive rebounds and turn the ball over 19 times.

ooops just kidding about Terry Porter being a LC coach:

Isn't Foreman the chief recruiter?  He brings most of the guys to Palatine Hill right?  Why wouldn't the players be in favor of him taking over?  Doesn't make a lot of sense...

He does do most of the recruiting but most of the players are not big fans of Dinari. Coach G was apparently going to leave in 2008 after Jeff Christensen (who transferred to Eastern Washington) would have graduated. But, he has stuck around perhaps with the desire to get back to the national tournament after coming close in 06-07.

Just got back from the LC-Linfield game. Typical LC basketball. The offense relies on making jump shots and threes. There is little movement, little structure, and little results unless they are hitting the outside shot. And they sure didn't do much of that tonight, shooting 20% from three and 33% from the field. Defensively they are soft as usual. For the first time in many years they have an actual big man with height and girth in McCullough, but for some reason he didn't see many minutes in the second half. They gave up so many layups in the second half it was kind of ridiculous. I think back to 2007 when the Pios went 13-3 in conference and the presence they had inside defensively with Gene Rivera. That was the first year in a long time that they had that, and it showed. It also showed tonight that they had no real defense. I will say this much, Kelly Edwards is a beast. Extremely athletic, able to beat anyone off the dribble and soared for several rebounds. After watching the game tonight I think as a team LC just isn't that good but they have a lot of individual talent in Edwards, Kollasch, Hollins, and even Meeuwsen. I think this talent will keep them in the top four in conference, but unless they figure out how to either play better defense or get better shots offensively I don't see them going very far.

Hey TMT, glad you could find a connection, there is obviously something there (The LC thing), they wouldn't have been suspended for nothing.  You just don't suspend all your top players (minus Hollins) if they simply worked in the food service area and were paid in meals.  The word I keep coming back to, interesting.......

Apparently there are questions as to whether players CAN work for meals. They can work for pay as a work study job, but from what I understand the questions arise when they get free meals because it could possibly be used as a recruiting tool. Think along the lines of offering free gear to players, etc. So I guess someone blew the whistle on this to the NCAA and they are investigating whether or not it is a violation for players to get paid in meals.

"Took advantage of free meals from the school cafeteria, more than they were allotted...."?

They were allotted free meals?  Doesn't sound good, may be more than just an  "oops"...

Doesn't look like it was just a couple guys either, something is going on there...

Wow, tuff way to start the year, any idea Pio20 on the length of the suspensions or if they were handed down by the university, the A.D., or just the coaching staff?  I wonder if NCAA violations occurred, interesting....

Lots of games tonight, good luck to all the conference teams...

Not sure about the length of the suspension. I think they worked for the cafeteria and thus got free meals in trade for their work. However, I guess they took extra free meals. I believe it was the school that handed down the suspension with Coach G going along with it. Gonna hurt as it seems they have lost three of their best players in Kollasch, Meeuwsen, and Tsukazaki.

TMT, what was up with the Pios tonight?  Their boxscore showed a lot of guys missing including Kollasch...  Your biddy have anything?

Suspended. Took advantage of free meals from the school cafeteria a little more than they were allotted. Oops.

To be honest, I really have no idea what to expect this season. It is basically a brand new team. Kollasch is the one significant returner, and even he missed a lot of last season. But he is definitely the star and captain. Hollins showed promise last season as a freshman and he should be a bigger part of the team this season. Tsukazaki has seen on and off playing time throughout his four years. Kyle Meeuwsen could be a wild card. Versatile junior who got increased PT late last season and could have a breakout year. Outside of that, I'm not sure what to expect. They definitely looked good in the Oregon game though.

I saw that, Pio 20, and I started to watch it, but the screen was small, dark and hard to see, so I bailed.  Have you heard anything about this year's team?  If they did that well against Oregon, can they hang with the top teams in the NWC?

You can actually watch the game on Ducks TV if you go to the link titled "MBB vs Lewis and Clark" near the bottom of the recap. Pios ran a lot of high picks against Oregon's full court press, similar to the way they have responded against UPS's press the past few seasons.

What's the word on St. Thomas?

That's a great story Pio20--then did your group switch to "Your Mom" chants?

haha no no..we kept it professional. Actually when WW came to LC earlier that season his fiancee came over and asked the LC fans to stop heckling Williams. He was a well protected man.

A few years ago when I made the six hour trip up to Whitworth to see the NWC final between WW and LC me and the group I was with chanted "pickleball" every time Bryan Williams went to the free throw line. This after I did a little research and discovered he loved to play pickleball. This apparently caused him so much distraction that his mom came over and asked us to leave him alone. I like to think that was a pretty good chant. Not mentioning there were only six of us chanting it compared to the 500 some Whitworth fans across the court.

No fans in the conference are more organized, no fans change the game more, and NO fans want to win, more than Logger fans. 

I call bull****

Pio, you should definitely stay out of this conversation!  Sorry, but the Pio fans are by far the worst in the league! 

I disagree...by my calculations Pio fans caused 13 turnovers throughout the season. We ALL didn't shower the night of the WW game causing major distractions to WW players. Oh, and one one Pio fan told me he really wanted to win this one game more than anything ever.
