WBB: Northwest Conference

[hoopnut]

Hey, where is everybody? Scrimmages are about to start!

Looks like the NWC has two teams ranked in on national poll, and almost two in another. (UPS and George Fox)

George Fox was picke by the NWC coaches poll to be #1. That's been the kiss of death for the past few seasons, sure glad the Loggers were picked #2, (barely). Looking at the George Fox roster, they're only bringing in one freshman this year. UPS roster hasn't been posted yet, but my spies tell me they'll have two freshmen and a few transfers.

I'm looking forward to another great season!

Looking forward to watching my first Linfield game this season on Saturday.  Looks like my 'Cats will have their hands full with EOU.

Nice job WC!  Good luck to you.

Nice work on the new site 11, but tough luck on the timing.   Wildcats off to a tough NWC start.

[wildcat11]

Yeah, I hope I'm not a jinx.  The 'Cats will get back in the thick of things and I'm hopeful we can make a wild run for that 3rd spot.  We did start 1-3 in NWC play last year so my hope isn't dashed as of yet.

Interesting weekend in the NWC.

PLU with two big wins out of nowhere.
Tough weekend for Whitworth/Whitman

GFU still sitting pretty.

L & C looking to get above .500

Any comments from the crowd?

[80sshorts]

In the L & C game vs. GFU, the leading scorer Castle had trouble involving herself offensively, held way below her league-leading scoring average.  GFU has been able to hold leading scorer's for NW teams well below their averages, or force them to a low FG %.  Hirsh for Puget sound shot 4-16 against the Bruins, Lassiter was 5-16, and Castle only put up like 3 points on Fri.  Their mettle should be tested as they head up to the Whits.  Whitworth gave them their only non-Linfield loss in conf. last year

Big Match-ups this Friday...

Any predictions for GFU -- WM? Think Fox could get first conference loss?
PLU-LINFIELD will be a battle
and UPS at LC is always scary....

What are we thinking?

[Helpside]

Second half of season coming up....

Some intense match-ups.

Any predictions for who comes out on top after this weekend of play?

[Pat Coleman]

I neglected to welcome a new poster, whoops.

I don't have any predictions here but just wanted to say, welcome aboard!

[80sshorts]

I don't want to make any predictions, but I will say that UPS-GFU is the game of the month for sure, game of the week for women's basketball

[hoopnut]

Loggers upset the Buins last night. It was a very exciting game, and really wasn't in the bag until about 3 minutes left in the game. GFU played well inside, but had a hard time taking care of the ball. UPS forced 23 turnovers to 5 for GFU. That was huge. We'll probably get to see these team play two more times this year, just like last year. What matters is who wins the last game. I would not be suprized if both teams win out the balance of conference play, and if this happens, I believe the seeding into the NWC playoff would be decided by drawing lots.

The competion for the important 3rd place is certainly heating up. I'm not sure I'd be willing to guess on that right now.

I usually post over on the men's boards, but I did want to throw out a Congrats to the UPS women's team for a huge win against G Fox last night!

...I only wish the men coud have followed suit
