Yes, your seat is probably very comfortable. What can I say?

Kind of like Chapman's seat in baseball.

BlueZone,
OK, you got me there! Plus 1K to you.

Is it true??? Wait....let it set in.....The NWC not only gets 2 teams in the tournament but they also get separated??? Am I dreaming? Thank goodness the committee has finally recognized the strength of the NWC and what we have done when we get teams into the tourney. Congrats to Fox and LC, now go make the NWC proud

Handles,

No kidding! Bruinfan must be so proud that he is no longer just a voice calling in the wilderness. We've all been saying this for years, and although it cost Fox the chance to host this weekend, there is the distinct chance for the first time that a sectional could be held in the NW. As you say, I hope that both teams make runs, setting up a big Elite game in Miller Gym.

Go Bruins! Go NWC!

Go Bruins! Go NWC!

I was stunned on Monday as I watched the brackets being announced. I can live with the NWC teams traveling this weekend because of the opportunity to finally be split into two different pods.

I so hope the NWC teams play well. This is not the best year to show the strength of the NWC. I don't know what BlueZoneBruin thinks, but I would rank the 2010-11 version of the Bruins no better than 3rd out of the last 5 years of Bruin teams. Lewis and Clark is definitely not as strong as some of the UPS teams from recent years. However, it is still possible for both teams to put together a pair of quality efforts this weekend and advance to the sectionals.

My guess is Stevens Point will be the sectional host even if LC and GFU both advance.

Go NWC!

Illinois Wesleyan was ranked higher in region that Stevens Point in the last published Central Region rankings. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it hints that IWU has the edge to host over the Pointers.

I also believe the next round will be at Illinois Wesleyan.

Congratulations to the Bruins for pulling off a big win tonight. Great job competing on the Pointers home floor. Very few people saw this one coming and you got it done. Enjoy every moment and come back for another tough one tomorrow.

Nice job Coe, I was pulling for you. It was nearly a West regional final @ UW-SP, that would have been a first to have two West Region schools playing for a Final 4 berth.

The Bruins held their turnovers in check and shot the ball well tonight. Couple that would good defense as well, and they are off to their third straight Elite 8. Congratulations ladies!

Keep it up against the Titans!

Lovinthe3ball · March 13, 2011, 12:08:12 AM

Got a chance to see the Bruins play tonight. What a great group of players. They played hard and with a lot of class. What a great team who has a lot to look forward to next season. Congratulations!

Well done, Foxies!

And well done Gretchen!

Just curious.... Is anyone looking at this site this year?

BruinFan · December 17, 2011, 07:06:52 PM

Frequently - yes. Just not commenting yet. Lutefisk, I recommend not starting another board, but continuing the one that already exists.
