Oshkosh won and is on their way to Salem for the Final 4.  They were tough all weekend.

GT--any transfer risk in the WIAC....specifically rumors floating around Point.  I don't see why but these are not always logical decisions.

Also, any grad transfers with eligibility who could attend a WIAC grad program?  Business or engineering add-on to current degree?

Quote from: bulk19 on March 12, 2025, 10:48:10 PMGreek Tragedy = UWL starts spring break on Friday, so I'm not sure what kind of student fan base will be still around... Not sure how many of the townsfolk will hop on the bandwagon this weekend, either... But I'd think you'd be able to get a ticket... Ticket info at the school's website allows you to purchase via Internet, and says "your phone is your ticket." ($17)

Also, if you do decide to make the trip and are looking for a quick bite to eat, the Eagle's Nest bar/restaurant across from the gym is under new ownership and will not be open this weekend....

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?

Howie's is better anyway.

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.

As my former Marshfield neighbor says, #InBradWeTrust.  He is quickly becoming the Bo Ryan of D3 women's basketball.

Is it fair to ask if LaCrosse will serve Old Style at Mitchell Hall for the Sweet 16 this weekend?  :o  :o

Quote from: Voice of the Titans on March 09, 2025, 02:00:02 PMGot my parking spot, so all was well. Had quite a few replay stoppages and saw the first 2 three second calls that I have seen in 2025. I could have been a little sarcastic with the call, but I think that would have been an obvious flop. On the bright side, I got to see how "I'll just use the iPad for replay" is a statement that will lead to an extra 3 minutes at the table. On to the Sweet 16!

Do you work the next round at Wesleyan or do you just get to attend?  Does the NCAA give you a blood/pee in a cup test to allow you into their hallowed tournament?

I'll be watching on the old Apple IIe. And if the NCAA had a pee cup, it would have to be a Powerade cup.

ROFLMAO

Quote from: hoops2 on March 08, 2025, 02:08:00 PMChicken,

I believe she has already received an offer from Wisconsin.  Seubert has offers from multiple schools and Awe is getting them as well.  That was a great game that someone had to lose.  East might give Memorial a run this afternoon in Marshfield.

They did. I watched the Zaleski Sports stream and in the post game interviews their head coach was so humble and happy for the girls. A buddy of mine told me he is a commercial banker by day but loves coaching. FVA is always tough top to bottom.

I watched SPASH get slashed by Appleton East last night.  East had two sophomores that were awesome.  Shot at the buzzer by one (Sweeney) ended the game.  She'll be a D1 player is my bet.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on March 07, 2025, 01:00:51 PMI heard tix for the 2 games are around $24?? For the single game tomorrow, it's also $24??

When Oshkosh plays their Winter Classic at the Oshkosh Arena, it's more than an on-campus event.

I looked that up and Oshkosh event has 4 games, 2 men and 2 women's.  It appears if you watch the first you can stay for them all. Their women's team is pretty good, too. Beat up on my Lady Dawgs.

Not optimistic for the Lady Dawgs. Chickens doing well but will have to livestream.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on March 03, 2025, 01:26:18 PMFunny how the w WIAC teams get both System teams in the 1st round. Grinnell has turned into The System Light, while Greenville still plays the traditional System, from what I remember.

Platteville could get Calvin the 2nd round. Ouch. Rematch of the memorable season opener. La Crosse could get the CCIW regular season champ.

Oshkosh swept Calvin twice earlier this year.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on February 24, 2025, 06:50:14 PMThe MWC tourney is this weekend and Grinnell comes in as the #2 seed. They play Illinois College, whom they split with. They own two 3-point losses to #1 seed Monmouth. I've always wanted a System team to make the NCAAs. Doesn't happen to often.

Could this be a three bid league?  I can't go to any games anyway, the chickens need 24 hour oversight with this damn flu.

Quote from: PauldingLightUP on March 01, 2025, 01:43:47 PMNo idea, but I will say La Crosse Center got recently renovated, so it's not a bad option. It's as new and as upgraded as possible inside for the old building on the outside.

La Crosse Center is so weird because fans are so far from the court, which isn't ideal. Hosted state basketball during COVID and the start of girls wrestling.



My Dad says Bruce Springsteen played there in like 1978 or 79.  No idea what that means for hoops.

Quote from: ChickenHoops on February 27, 2025, 12:57:41 AMSeason over.

UW-Stevens Point WBB?

I think their season will continue.

Need to hope for no bid thieves.
