First game back for Catlin Knueppel who was out for about a month with a pretty good ankle sprain.

Klay Knueppel becomes the all-time winningest WBB coach at WLC with a 70-38 win over Edgewood last night. He passed Wayne Smith with his 224th win.

Each and every week there are games that will surprise. Each and every season there are programs that will surprise. This season there may be more than the rest.

Tonight on Hoopsville, Dave returns from the NCAA Convention in San Antonio where he got more than a taste of Texas basketball. Plus, there are a few teams making a statement in their conferences and it's time to shine a light on their success.

Dave also got a chance while at the NCAA Convention to talk to the parents of one of the more influencial student-athletes the NCAA has seen. Brent and Lisa Hill talk about the legacy left by their daughter Lauren and the recognition she got from the NCAA.

Alverno/WLC up shortly:

[WLCALUM83]

WLC 19, Alverno 0  End of 1st Qrtr.

[WLCALUM83]

WLC 39, Alverno 19  Half

[WLCALUM83]

WLC 57, Alverno 37  End of 3rd Qrtr

[WLCALUM83]

Final:  WLC 77, Alverno 49.

Warrior D was there, established right out of the gate. The loss costs Alverno some, especially if Lakeland beats CUC later today (the Inferno are now 2 games back in the win column to the Muskies, who now hold the #6 spot (though I know its' early yet).

[WLCALUM83]

Benedictine/MSOE up shortly:

[WLCALUM83]

Benedictine 12, MSOE 9  Start of 2nd Qrtr

[WLCALUM83]

Half:  MSOE 29, Benedictine 24

[WLCALUM83]

MSOE 38, Benedictine 30  Start of 4th Qrtr

[WLCALUM83]

CUW is up by some 33 points on Rockford in the 4th Qrtr of that one, so if the Raiders hold their lead the 3-way tie at the top remains.
