An entertaining game at Geiseman last night as CUC nipped Greenville 119-117. I've never liked "The System" style of play but it was an interesting game experience and the fans seemed to enjoy it.

Despite the high amount of turnovers this type of game produces, I liked CUC's overall approach. They did an excellent job driving to the basket and getting back on defense consistently. Guard play was tremendous, especially Justin Greenlee with 20 points and 14 rebounds (both career highs, I think).

Back to NACC play on Saturday with WLC coming to town. Conference play should be fun this year if not predictable (was surprised to see IIT knock off Norbert last night).

IIT shot lights out the entire game never seen shooting like that before especially against a Norbert team.  Not going to lose many games shooting 60% from 3

Have a buddy of mine who is around SNC, said that there are 14 players to quit on the program in less than a 2 year span. Grzesk always has good teams and good on court quality, but this is a bit alarming to see. Each player, situation is different of course, however that did raise my eyebrows a bit. Anyone have any type of info? (Lost my login for my previous account)

John Tauer's oldest son, Jack, has been on the team the last two years. I'm sure he's letting his kid make his own decisions, but I also suspect he wouldn't be there if there were issues with the program.  These days, when you see transfers from small private schools, it's more likely to be due to academic program cuts or financial aid issues. SNC, if I recall, tends to bring in a lot of players every year. It could also be guys who want more PT.

Yes, that's what I thought as well. Did hear that John's son did leave the program though as well. Guess time will tell though at the end of the day.

Hard to know much until we see this year's roster.

PT issue for all, nothing else here

When's the football program launching there?

We have been asking that since I was a freshman there in 1992

I'm beginning to wonder if they are going to play anymore. They have their 2 NC Concordia games coming up. I believe none of these games are postponed. They are all forfeits which count in league standings, but not as games for overall records sake.

I believe they are done for the season, shutting things down to figure things out.  All conference games have been canceled and their record is now 0-0.

Players needing to be hospitalized after a workout seems to be a fairly uncommon occurence these days.

My son just sent this to me.  Not a good situation, and they had a good start to the year.

SNC plays UWGB tomorrow in an exhibition game.  Will be great to be back in the gym again

Hats off to Coach Diener.  When I saw them play SNC in December that team was going nowhere.  He got those kids to buy in on both sides of the court. 
Gouin is so good in the mid range. 

I thought they were in real trouble when both bigs had 4 fouls and Henderson fouled out.  Give little used freshman Ewer a ton of credit for being ready when called upon.

As a Sabre alum proud of the program tonight

CUW played a nice inside-outside game in the second half. vs. St. Norbert. They found themselves with many easy looks underneath and then canned open 3's to open up a second half lead that the Green Knights could not overcome.

CUC picked the wrong night to go cold. 2-20 from behind the arc kind of says it all. Brrrrrrr.

Concordia had a really fine season - the best they have had in at least 20 years? (Their archive only goes back 20 years, but I think it's longer than that.)

Hoffman has been really good this year for CUW.  Shooting 48% from 3 is crazy.  The Keller injury did not look good and he came back for the 2nd half at about 50% but it gave them a huge spark and helped the offense run.

Marian vs CUW should be a good one.  Both teams can score. As a Marian Alum have to go with the Sabres

Another great game between WLC and SNC last night.  All 3 games WLC got off to real slow starts offensively. Stiede made some really tough shots for WLC down the stretch.  SNC had a hard time containing the drives all 2nd half and then went with a 4 guard lineup instead of their normal 3 guards and 2 bigs. 
WLC was able to shut down Bolwerk most of the night.  He had 2 huge 3's late including one in OT as the shot clock expired.  Mike Payant had a huge night again against WLC going for 24 and 15.
SNC outscored WLC in OT 21-12

SNC is at CUW Friday
Marian is at CUC Friday

Marian might be the hottest team in the NACC.  They are a turnover away from being the 1 seed and outright conference champs

NACC Tournament Matchups:

#1 CUC, #2 CUW and #3 St. Norbert get opening round byes (Green Knights' strong 1st year NACC performance continues).

#4 IL Tech vs. #13 Dominican
#5 Marian vs. #12 Aurora
#6 WLC vs. #11 MSOE (more fuel for this crosstown rivalry)
#7 Benedictine vs. #10 Lakeland
#8 Edgewood vs. #9 Rockford

(as if the regular season wasn't wild enough)

I think that any of the 1-9 seeds has a legitimate shot to win the tournament (which is crazy), but I'd put my money on CUW right now if I was forced to choose one team.

I agree having seen every team play on any given night any one of those 9 can beat the other.  WLC at 6 seed is dangerous.  My son plays at SNC so I am little biased towards them.  IF SNC rebounds their defense will make them tough to beat. I still like all the experience for CUW.

High level game last night at SNC as SNC defeated WLC 74-71 to create a 3 way tie atop the NACC.  SNC took a 20 point lead early and WLC was able to get the score tied at half.  The second half WLC built a 10 point lead at 69-59.  SNC went on an 11-0 run to take the lead with 2:33 left at 70-69. Stolz was really good for WLC surprised they did not do more to get him a look in the final 2 possessions. Especially after timeouts.
The NACC conference tournament should be a good one.  I would put CUW as the favorite with way they have been playing lately and the experience they have.

Good win for SNC and the NACC last night as SNC beat UWEC on the road 60-55

So it looks like the NACC is going to two divisions. The preseason poll is out and has WLC, SNC and Concordia (WI) as 1, 2, 3. When it comes to tournament seeding, are the winners of each division given the top 2 seeds in the conference tournament?  However, the NACC website has the standings as one division...thoughts?

Do not think it is 2 divisions yet.  The north and south was for last year with covid.  As far I know it is back to 1 division 6 teams make it top 2 get the bye
