Quote from: Voice of the Titans on March 12, 2025, 11:30:34 AMThe former coach in me decided to watch some game film. I can say that IWU is everywhere. I walked out of my classroom for lunch, and I was in the middle of a trap. 59 is their lowest total of the year. Can UWO hold them around there? IWU has 2 averaging 15, but I think the key is keeping the 2 that average 11 under 7. If you can do that, it would be an elite performance.

How about holding them to just 43 Points? 😆

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on March 13, 2025, 07:41:52 AMIt's closed? That's some bad timing. I will have to see what the work schedule is like this weekend. Although it's a lot easier to watch it on the TV/internet that drive 3 and 1/2 hours over there.

I'm sure they chose to close this weekend with it being the start of Spring Break and the thought being it would be a "low traffic" weekend compared to when the students are in session.

The odds of basketball hosting this weekend probably weren't very high when the decision was made, and I doubt it would've mattered compared to the alternatives anyway?

Last ride with The Chief. Let's Go, Boys!

Not sure if you saw this BP, but I definitely thought of you when your former teammate passed this onto me!  (Yes, I know it's outdated, but for old guys like me I just saw it for the first time last week!  )

Quote from: ShineTime on June 29, 2024, 08:23:21 PMDoes anyone know why Huber didn't play this year for Pointers? I agree Point is in big time trouble and staring at 5th or 6th place unless there's a miracle!

Huber started in two out of three games over the weekend against Washington University as the Pointers opened the 2025 season going 0-3...

Quote from: tomt4525 on December 19, 2024, 10:08:14 AMIt looks as though UWSP may have gained an impact transfer for the future, hopefully at least.  Zach Olson, a 2023 grad from Muskego, committed to D1 Hawaii has transferred to Stevens Point.  I'm hopeful this lessons the blow of losing Mason Weckler and can help add to the depth of their pitching.

Looking at the 2025 UWSP Baseball roster, there is no sign of a Zach Olson....

This article is a bit dated, but it gives some numbers to go along with where certain Wisconsin high school players are continuing to play next season at the D3 level...

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on February 14, 2025, 04:51:10 PMI presume you're implying he's out for the remainder of this season? He played 13 games, too many to get a medical year.

Grassman is only a sophomore this year, so medical or no medical, he has two more years of eligibility remaining at the school of his choosing...

While it would probably be a long shot, I'd be curious if administration would give any thought to hiring Coach Fischer for the Badgers Women's Basketball position, assuming he'd have interest in the position? 

I wonder if he could duplicate what Borseth did at UWGB and build a program around kids from the state and breathe some much needed life into what appears to be a dying program. We've seen coaches make the jump from the WIAC to power programs in the past (however there is usually a stop in between along the way) (Bo Ryan, Kathi Bennett, Lisa Stone, Lance Leipold, etc..) so it's not totally far fetched to think he could be the next in a line of coaches to experience the same success.

Thoughts?

Whitewater knocks off #1 Platteville tonight, tightening things up at the top a bit...

Results must still be getting entered as River Falls dropped a spot to the #14 Pool C now, which obviously doesn't matter as the end result is still the same....

Quote from: PauldingLightUP on November 04, 2024, 02:30:09 PMUW-Platteville roster update. Joining are 6'6 F Joah Bodden from Kettle Moraine, 6'3 G Brian Meitzner from Lodi, and 6'1 G Kobe Smit from Cambria-Friesland.

Not returning are Max Kirk, Carter Lancaster, Charlie Bender, Seth Bunders, and Trey Hepburn.

Pioneers open with a roster of 19.

Bunders ended up at Ripon College....

Quote from: tomt4525 on October 21, 2024, 12:03:21 PMWisconsin Basketball Yearbook arrived this morning.  First thing I always do with it is check the returning players for UWSP, this year looks like another mass exodus happened and I don't envision a JV schedule because of it.

Myles Coleman entered the portal, I didn't see if he landed anywhere else.
Shane Tarjan
Parker Prahl
Josiah Gillie
James Sivley
Casey Verhagen
Jacksen Smith
AJ Uttech already transferred to Stout directly after the season concluded
Nick Fox is an incoming freshman but had to have knee surgery, he's out indefinitely.

Looking at the names, I'm pretty disappointed to see Casey Verhagen.  He had 3 years of eligibility left and I think he'll turn into a very good player as an upperclassmen.  He transferred to Concordia University Wisconsin.

There were some pictures posted online from the purple/gold game and I see that Wissports, at the very least, has incomplete information.  Shane Tarjan is back on the team as he was in one of the pictures.

What did Wissports have posted?

Whitewater's run of success makes me appreciate even more what Mount Union has been able to accomplish with their extended consistency over the years...

That said, I can't see Whitewater being "down" for long with the tradition they've built. The question is, how long until W.I.W.A?

Quote from: The Third Division on October 15, 2024, 01:40:58 PMWhen is Stevens Point ever gonna win a conference game again?

I do not see it happening this year? What has happened to UWSP? They have not been competitive  in may years? I have moved out of staff and still follow the boards but this is a question that I have as well?

Watching the struggles of Stevens Point, lead by many former UWO assistants, reaffirms my belief of just how good of a coach/recruiter Pat Cerroni was while he was at UWO.  Not only has there been a drop off in talent and in turn success at UWO, but also a lack of success trying to get something going at Stevens Point.

Starting to think WIAC will be a one bid league after seeing today's scores...
