GAVA, aren't you being a little hard on hoopstermom? Especially since you combined the first email from Swiss with hoopstermom's 1 post to make her look like a NWC traitor.

Just copied her post. Couldn't tell from her post that she was quoting ( and echoing ) Swiss . So I only feel half as bad...lol .
Wouldn't call her a traitor anyway although I don't like duplicity.
Think she is a Bridgewater fan anyway, tired of getting beaten by RMC, and just playing nice on the ODAC board.

Might be wrong. She says she is headed to Washington, not Maine ( darn long BC Fans Bus ride from Virginia ) !!!

arforbes, no offense taken by GAVA's comments.

I responded to GAVA back on SOUTH/ODAC board.

I'm actually heading to Tacoma fromRichmond to watch the games. I hear the weather is going to be wet with snow mixed.

Calling for 80's degrees here. Oh well, that's was you give up to see good basketball.

Great game tonight in Parkland, too bad the early part of the OT didn't go well for the Lutes. Crazy last minute of regulation and OT.
Anyway, Lutes had a great season. Congratulations!

Not a very good night for the Lutes. Just a little out of sink and gave up way to many in the paint in the second half. Not the finish we were hoping for but what a great year. All goals accomplished with the exception of the last which was to get to the final four. Congratulations to Kelly Turner and Mallory Mann on great careers. These two have helped to rewrite the record books for PLU. The Lutes have a great group coming back but will sure miss you two.

Great season Lutes! I'm sorry to see your seniors go... your's and those on all the teams in our league. You have helped make NWC basketball some of the best in the country year after year. It's a long off-season but your competition is already working hard to be there at the end next year. I believe someone in this conference is going to make it all the way to the top... very soon! We're so close. Just keep working hard!

My condolences to the Linfield College community on the death of one of their players. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a teammate. Even a new one.

any one on this site? Just had a look at L & C this weekend. If they are the #3 team in the conference, then this conference will struggle out of conference. They got all they could handle from the #10 projected team in the MIAC. Teams will need to play zone against them and force them from the outside. Not a great shooting team, and they don't really like to play D.

Having not seen the LC game I really can't respond to your assesment. I think you might want to keep an eye on the number 1 and 2 pre-season poll teams from the NWC. UPS looked fantasitc in dispatching Cal Lutheran and Ogelthorpe last weekend, and PLU got the job done on the same two teams. Both teams should do well against any competition in DIII, and I expect they will rise in their current national rankings.

Time will tell, the season is still very young.

I wouldn't necessarily put too much stock in that preseason poll of the NWC coaches. I imagine there is a fair amount of gameplaying among the coaches in their voting depending on what best serves their particular purpose. The haves and the havenots in the conference are fairly obvious but the final order is only going to be determined by the scoreboard. Let the games begin.

Anybody see the PLU/UPS game last night? Any comments or observations about these top seeded conference teams in their first match-up of the year? PP... where are you?

hoopnut · January 04, 2007, 07:09:46 PM

I saw the game last night, it was a great game, biggest spread in the game was 8 points. UPS did a good job containing Johnson, keeping her to about 1/2 her average. In all, it was a good defensive effort for both teams. UPS had balance scoring, only one player in double digits.

I anticipate that the next meeting will be similar, and wouldn't be a bit suprised if both teams win the balance of their conference games. (The UPS loss to GFU was a fluke. Look for a double digit UPS win in the next round.)

Thanks for the report. But the loss to GFU a fluke? On their own home court? Double digit win next round? Well... maybe you are a "hoop nut. "

hoopnut · January 05, 2007, 11:31:38 AM

Time will tell.

arforbes · January 08, 2007, 05:35:04 PM

Hoopnut, time will tell, although such blatant dissing of my bruins will be filed away and remebered,or forgotten as the case may be, when the time comes.
What a logjam at the top. This should be a very fun conference race to watch. It would be adviseable to hold home court, something UPS and GFU have not done well so far.
I was a little surprised to see GFU had a little bit of national love on the D-3 poll.
