lax was awesome tonight.

First game I have made all year and I can't tell you the change.  Long gone are the days of being 1 of 150 specifically going to watch another team or player play (river falls with Melzer) at Mitchell Hall.  The student support for Lax was awesome.  I don't know if it has been remotely like this all year but the team actually has support.  A major credit, I can't believe I am saying this as his harshest critic in the past, to Coach Koelbl and what he has done.  I never imagined I would go to a Lax hoops game to watch a talented team play but it sure was fun tonight.  The environment was awesome.  

Ask and Werner are amazing ballplayers.  Brandon Brown knows how to control a game and is an awesome point guard.  Just plain old fun, and I haven't had that true sense of watching a winner at Mitchell till tonight.

Awesome game

Hope things are going well for everyone here.

Where you been hiding?

just graduated college and it's been 'all business' with the job hunt.  I have a job so not as much time to go to Lax games but for sure keep tabs on it all.  I am really impressed as to the direction of the team, though currently they have hit a little slide.  Fact is though it matters how you finish the season, and hopefully this little hiccup ends soon.........

Hope things are going well for everyone here.

looks like lax has dropped a few recently.  hopefully they can get things back.  I haven't been able to attend many games this year but looks like werner is a beast again and the squad is very solid

on an interesting note:  Tony Mane, former guard at Milwaukee Thomas More looks to have transferred to Lax from Chicago State.  If he plays at Lax next year will be quite a good ballplayer.

Brett Favre's postgame interview on NBC. Hard to watch this and think he's going to come back next season.

http://video.nbcsports.com/player/?id=53489

ruined my night of going out and partying.  Was planning on getting slammed after the game, this interview ended it.  Having only known Brett as your QB I don't wanna see the 1970's packers in 2007.  After a few hours of thought I am over it.

NOTE: BTW the player I was talking about with Gibbons was a player that tried out 3-4 years ago(I am old balls)

  All you do is constantly rip the EC coaching staff

which there has been every reason to do over the last 5 years.  Heck I have bashed and bashed coach Koelbl but fact is that he has turned UWL around and it's nice to see.

Maybe if Coach Gibbons would let all the players at his university tryout instead of cutting players that you didn't recruit that might happen to be better than the ones you recruit (if you don't believe me I can lend you a nice example) he might have a better squad year in and year out.............With that being said, EC seems to be turning a corner itself, maybe a few years too late though

Can anyone answer this UW-La Crosse question for me?

What happened to Andrew Huss, Jarrod Pelkofer, and why didn't David Chivington from Oshkosh West ever go out?

huss chose not to go out.  The kid is extremely intelligent and i believe done at the end of semester or has an accounting internship next semester..........only one i talked to but heard that pelkofer just didn't have the drive anymore, which happens at this level i do believe

no clue on chivington

Hey I will gladly complain about the way the nets are cut down if UW-L gets that far!

Koelbl, now the SID. There may be one or two sites in the WIAC where information is not updated in a timely matter ... UW-L is not one of them.

that makes sense then.........in the past the University has been quite tardy on getting box scores up, i remember a few years back not seeing box scores for 2 days........that was more of a sarcastic comment than anything but does happen from time to time

Oh, wait.  According to LAX Eagles size doesn't matter. 

yeah all those 6 7 guys loras brought in off the bench 

loras 82
uwl 74

big nights for werner and ask both having 21 points............The box score is currently only up on loras' website since the UWL site takes oh 2-5 DAYS to get up the box score after the game is played

anyways looking at the box score you can see how much they miss Homan, simply no production from the bench

Size doesn't matter too much?

You coach basketball, right?

when i coached my tallest guy was 6 4 (high school) but athletic and savvy as all can be.....held his own against taller players because he had skill and basketball iq........though some teams with size you need to match with size this happens very infrequently........

There are too many ways to hide a short team(zones, full court presses, half court sets) and not many to for a tall tree

i don't believe size matters all that much........though many coaches do.......that is the point with nonemacher..........do we know how high these 6 3 guys can jump?  wingspans?  footwork?  that is just as essential to a players ability..........of course nonemacher is getting looks because of his size, otherwise how do you justify a player of his skill level even mentioned in that breath?

to some coaches it matters, to others it doesn't..............who would you rather have on your team nonemacher or werner?   give me the 6 7 guy with talent anyday.......same can be said if this 6 3 center is athletic and physical........

size really doesn't matter too much.......except when you have a player of Freund's capabilities underneath...........a quick, trapping 1-3-1 or 2-3 zone might be ML's only preventative way of defending the post.......

although look at someone like mcneal from marquette.......i think he is listed at 6-4 but plays, due to arm span, like he is 6-9.......

Eagle,

Against Carroll the BADGERS rebounded a missed free throw with 24 seconds remaining.  You wouldn't believe what they did.  Up by 20 they sat on the ball completely defeating the purpose of playing hard and embarassing Carroll.  It was shameful, I tell ya,  absolutely shameful. 

what the hell is bo ryan thinking?  the game is NEVER OVER!

if karma matter titan 2k would have been gone a long time ago!
