Rockford over Eureka 81-46 to win the NIIC Tournament.  Rockford led throughout and led by 6 at the break.  The Regents dominated the 2nd half in every phase of the game.  Beautiful passing, great shooting, pressure defense, and blocking shots (they had at have had almost 15 as a team).  Rockford showed why they were the best team in the conference tonight and all year long.  Now its on to the NCAA Tournament.  GO REGENTS!!!

AUballer- Second victim Rockford huh?  Looks like you spoke too soon!!!

Aurora had much some better players last year than this years team does.  Look at some of the non-conference oppenents that Aurora and Rockford had in common.  Aurora lost to UW-Oshkosh by 30 and Hope by 50.  Meanwhile, Rockford beat Hope and was leading Oshkosh the entire game until the last minute losing by 2.  Last year was last year and that is in the past now.  Both teams are different and Rockford is a much improved team from last year.  Good luck at getting 8 conference wins cause the rest of your schedule is not that easy.

Whats with all the Eureka/Rockford talk?  It's only a match-up of the 1st and 2nd place teams in conference and if Rockford wins then they clinch at least a share of the conference title.  Not to mention their final 2 games are against Clarke and Dominican who are 6th and 7th in the conference.  Eureka already beat Rockford once and if they do it again they have an advantage over them in the standings. Rockford is a team whose record is 17-5 and they beat a Hope team that was ranked in the preseason top 25 and is back in the top 25 with only 2 losses on the season.  Turn Rockford's record around and what do you get???  Thats right, the record of your Aurora team who has not won a game outside of the NIIC this season.
