WBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[WLCALUM83]

Wisconsin Lutheran's 1st round opponent:  UW-LaCrosse

[Lovinthe3ball]

Any thoughts on whether WLC can compete with LaCrosse?

[WLCALUM83]

Warriors knocked off Whitewater early, swept Edgewood during our in-conference season- (granted that was much later than LaCrosse played Edgewood)

It'll depend on how well you take care of the ball on offense-generally speaking. Against Concordia-WI in the NAthCon final, the Warriors were able to grab a lead and hold on to it by forcing several turnovers and getting points off them--

Belated kudos to Dominican hoops Coach Lane for getting the NAthCon COY Award--his squad improved by leaps and bounds this season--

Wisconsin Lutheran 73, UW-LaCrosse 59  Final

(Whew!)  warriors won the rebounding battle 39-34, clutch late FT shooting toward the end was the difference.

It'll be interesting to see who steps up for Alverno (McComb and Allen gradualted), and CUC (ditto for Marche Smith).

And... your point?  In my opinion, the staff features far more knowledgable coaches than Fleming, who only played a year or two at Wisc on the mens side.  What about the ex womens college players on staff?  Or Kluth?  All great additions to the program.  Fleming does lots of AAU, but that's a whole different animal compared the tasks of a college basketball coach.  Grades, recruiting, scouting, etc.

Yikes. What a ridiculous over-reaction to a very innocent comment. In the 11 words that person typed, I don't see any opinion, inference or judgment of anything. Perhaps they just thought it was an interesting fact that people might like to know.

There's not a lot of action on this board. Let's try to avoid jumping down people's throats for sharing information.
