Carthage up 57-55 with 7:43 to go.

Tsk, tsk, to the UWSP livestats person - I only now noticed they have IWU in Blue (Millikin! ), not Green!

They also seem to have traded Connolly to Carthage a minute ago!

More seriously, IWU up 2 with 3:11 to go.

Play-by-play style in-game updates over at the WIAC board for those who are interested.

Also, for those who are interested, the Pointers are playing Illinois Wezzleyan...! 

 

IWU up on Benedictine 16-7 about 8 minutes in.  Ryan Connolly just had a drive to the basket I didn't know he could do!

Goodness... how many offensive fouls have been called thus far?  I'd have to say at least 5 or 6!

They are calling offensive fouls (on both teams) at a ridiculous pace.

Schick just buried an NBA 3-pointer.

Titans can't seem to bury these guys - lead is 6 w/ about 6 to go.

I'm wondering if illegal screens are a point of emphasis this year. There were a ton of 'em called in the scrimmage between Augie and Platteville, too.

IWU up only 34-33 at the half in Lisle.

The camera mainly shows the visitors' seating which is strangely empty - where's that fabled Titan Nation road crew?!

The live stats are ahead of the video... it's tied at 41 with IWU tying it, Benedictine had taken a 2 point lead.

I've gotta say, I'm impressed with Benedictine's defensive strategy... Sexauer has just 2 with 15 mins left in the game.

Schick 16, Rosenkranz 11, Sexauer + Johnson 8!

IWU 48, Benedictine 41, 12 minutes remaining.

Kudos to Benedictine for very good video and announcing.

IWU will almost certainly win (barely double-digit lead with 4 to go), but unless Benedictine is a lot better than they look to be, I fear that is NOT the #4 team in the country.

It's a start.  It's uncanny that when IWU scores 78 or more, they almost always win.  Yes, a bit ragged, but four guys in double figures, some good production from new folks, decent FT shooting.  Sexauer still looks out of sorts.  He looked that way in the Green/White scrimmage last week too.  It has to all come together in the pre-CCIW phase.  I've felt for some time that Lawson should be starting.

1-0 always a good start.

Perhaps TNT was running a marathon of Matlock reruns yesterday. You know how those female Titans fans feel about that hunky Andy Griffith fella.
