WBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[WLCALUM83]

Final:  Alverno 70, Edgewood 61
                     (WI Eagle squad went on a 19-6 run to begin 2nd half, then the Inferno went on a run of its' own to take the lead for good and hit their free throws late to seal it.)

11/23 NACC in-conference guesses:

CUW @ CUC:   (Falcons already have a couple of games under their belt)

Alverno @ Benedictine:  (although this one could go either way if Gorman has another big scoring night and stays out of foul trouble)

11/23 Matchups

Marian at UW-La Crosse: UW-L barely beat MSOE last night. I'm giving Marian the edge with their close loss to Platteville in the nightcap at Platteville last night.

UW-Whitewater at Edgewood: Eagles still have some growing pains to endure and Whitewater gets a big win.

Aurora at North Park: Barometer game for the Spartans.

Hope at Wisconsin Lutheran: Perhaps a closer game for the Warriors if they can limit the turnovers.

MSOE at UW-Platteville: Is MSOE better than advertised or is UW-L down this year? Either way I think they give Platteville a reasonably good game (Was going to say Hillmen since Platteville HS was in the D4 State finals for football).

Alverno at Benedictine: Barometer game for the IL Eagles. I think Gorman and company walk way with a solid win.

Concordia Chicago at Concordia Wisconsin: Falcons seem to be better than I thought they would be but the bigger tests come when they face WLC. They get the win over a decent CUC team.

CUW-CUC up shortly:

[WLCALUM83]

Half:  CUC 26, CUW 24

(Cougars went on a 8-0 scoring run to end the half--CUW shot 23% from floor in 1st half)

[WLCALUM83]

Final:  CUW 69, CUC 66  (Cougars had one last chance to tie it with a 3, but Genke's attempt from beyond the arc was blocked by Luethe)

WLC is heading to overtime against Hope 66-66. Klemm buried a 3 with 4 seconds remaining to tie it.

Wisconsin Lutheran falls short in their upset bid losing to #9 Hope 78-72. Impressive showing for the Warriors against a tough Hope team that has already beat Calvin on the road this year.

WLC is heading to overtime against Hope 66-66. Klemm buried a 3 with 4 seconds remaining to tie it.

Klemm played a heck of a game, 26 pts inclduing 4-7 on 3's and required Hope's defensive attention the entire game, making Hope's denial and help defense less effective.  Hope actually had her pretty well defended on the 3 at the end of regulation, but a shooter with a hot hand is going to get that 25 foot bank shot sometimes.  I was very impressed with her play.

She has been making nice strides since coming back from a torn ACL a few seasons back. Along with Hoft the Warriors will have a nice perimeter duo heading into conference play.

Tuesday's Games:

Benedictine at North Central: Prove it to me Benedictine.

Albion at Dominican: DU has a ways to go yet.

Aurora at Webster: Still not sure on Aurora.

Lakeland at UW-Oshkosh: Titans are gunning for a WIAC title this year.

UW-Stevens Point at Marian: Over early....

Concordia Chicago at Loras: Could be close?

UW-La Crosse at Concordia Wisconsin: More surprised that CUC gave the Falcons everything they wanted and then some Saturday.

Thanksgiving Weekend Matchups

Aurora at Concordia Wisconsin: CUW keeps their nice start to the season going.

Rockford at MSOE: Honestly I think Rockford takes this. Both have been better than anticipated.

Dominican at Marian: Marian gets the home edge.

Benedictine at Edgewood: BU should win but won't count out Edgewood at the Edgedome.

Concordia Chicago at Lakeland: CUC is still a mystery yet.

Wisconsin Lutheran at Alverno: WLC gave Hope everything they want and then some last Saturday. WLC pulls away after a close first half.

I'll go with:

CUW
Rockford
Dominican in a tight one (depends on how well Marian's talls produce)
Benedictine
Lakeland    (another tight one if the Cougars stay out of foul trouble)
WLC           (Inferno are hoping to improve on FT shooting)
