Paulding--Think you're right. Coach B. gave Falcon starters frequent rests. For almost the entire last five minutes of the first half, no Falcon starters were on the floor and the reserves did not lose any advantage. The 14-6 margin in o.t.was despite 5 missed free throws.

Falcons played their best game so far in downing EC, at EC. Huschka is very good at 6'7", and quick, for EC. Both teams played well and hard. Interesting matchup as the brothers Renta went at it hard. Mateo shut his brother Andre down, stuck to him like a leach, holding him to 7. Coach B. may have started Mateo, who ordinarily plays much less than he did Saturday, but I didn't watch until second half. At any rate, it was good strategy and good entertainment for Falcon fans. Already looking forward to EC at RF in second round.
The next two games, at home Wednesday and Saturday vs Point and Platteville, will go a long way to show what RF really has.

RF over Osh 28-14 in convincing fashion. Don't know if that gets them another game.

Falcons lose to a respectable Macalester team with two good guards and a couple of burly inside players who
got in foul trouble early. Mac shot 64% from 3 range and 54% overall to race out to a 15-3 lead and 15 point edge later. Second half was much better for Falcons but too late. RF could not shoot free throws and got caught flat footed three times as Scots scored 3 long pass/easy layups after made free throws.

It was a 6 turnover game for both teams. Leifker played well w/22 pts, 7 rebounds.

Pat--Cumulative won-loss record vs team higher in standings. Just looked it up in standings section of WIAC site.

Dont see Falcons in playoffs even if they win out.

Right, Palum. I don't call myself "World's Oldest Falcon Fan" for nothing.I'll be 92 in March.I may not live long enuf to see the streak end, but that's ok.

Falcon play calling, especially in first half, was questionable. Fake field goal/trick play to short side very disappointing. WW D played big part in victory. Would like to have seen Blaha in the game.

Big Mark-- I have been a Falcon fan since 1943, when I was 10. So the last 3 years have been fun.We have come close to winning several times, including last year when we led until late. I think we have a good chance tomorrow,but we'll have to keep penalties and turnovers to a minimum and keep the WW running game in check. I was a dorm director at UWW in the 60's when Perkins was coach and l was there when the stadium was built.

Thanks for details on Oshkosh, Paulding. Rebounding was one key disadvantage for RF. Crowl too much for Falcons to overcome.

Final score 78-62, Badgers. RF very  competitive.  Bodes well for the season.

Zac Johnson has 23 pts so far

If RF makes playoffs, Blaha likely to play--unless he chooses medical red shirt option. This is what he told me recently.

Don't know where Stout Guy is. Has he posted  recently?

u Fitzgerald played more than W. ANd was best Falcon offensive player. Moen very good  for Stout.

After 2day, Stout  still part off gauntlet. They led 27-6 at half. RF started Warzynski, transfer from La Cross. He had been Grey shirt.
