Alverno wins 67-63 over Concordia Chicago.

[WLCALUM83]

Alverno wins 67-63 over Concordia Chicago.

Both teams hit a lot of 3s tonight (Alverno hit 9, the Cougars 8)  If Ricketts doesn't get called for a charge on the potential game-tying possession, it could have been a different result.

Both coaches have to gear their team up for that one to have spirits up going forward. The loser will probably just be waiting for the season to end.

1/8/13 guesses:

Marian at Alverno;  This could go either way-- Sabers get a road win  (A  How much does the Inferno have left in the tank?  B. That squad has to stay out of foul trouble. Does Marian spring Huray like against Edgewood, or go for the balance they had against Rockford?) Inferno can take this if they control the boards and get a lot of front-line points.

WLC at Rockford:   Warriors should take this one.

Aurora at CUC;   Going with the Cougars at home in a tight one.

Edgewood at Lakeland:  Eagle squad has had some freshmen contributing off the bench more of late. Muskies take another close one at home.

Dominican at Benedictine:  IL Eagles bounce back and get a win here.

[Captain_Joe08]

I'll see

Alverno over Marian: I agree this could go either way...

Wisconsin Lutheran at Rockford: WLC wins big again to make it ten straight conference wins.

Aurora over Concordia Chicago: Agree here as well...I think Aurora gets the very slight edge here.

Edgewood at Lakeland: Muskies win here. They usually make some sort of run during the season.

Dominican at Benedicitine: Eagles win handily....
