WBB: Northwest Conference

[big_al]

Well, since I haven't heard it said yet. WAY TO GO BRUINS!!!

Was rootin' for ya the whole way. Super proud of you girls and good luck in Texas!

Congrats to the Loggers and their great season as well, everything to be proud of there as well. As stated plenty so far, it is really a shame for these teams to have to meet again before the finals.

I think the Bruins have a great chance to beat Hope on Friday.  The FD are without their backup point guard Kopke, not that it mattered in the first two rounds, but it could hurt them in some way against the George Fox.  If the Bruins stick to their nation-leading defense, they could definitely pose some problems for Hope.  They're in Brownwood now and they will definitely be refreshed from last week and mentally prepared for Friday night's showdown.  If they beat Hope, playing back to back should favor them since they've been using that NWC Friday-Sat. schedule all year, although I'm sure HPU/DeSales will be well-conditioned for Saturday's game.  Regardless of outcome, I think GFU-Hope will be a highly competitive game, I would be surprised if a blowout occurred.

Well if GFU shoots the ball like they did against UPS from the 3 (11 for 18), then they will be just fine.  I wish them luck, they are a good and well coached team.

It would be another great win for the NWC if they can take down undefeated Hope!

Tied at 28, GFU needs to get back into a good offensive flow, they're getting into one of their scoring ruts

Thanks for the update WLCALUM!  I cant listen to all the games at once

Still tied at 28 at halftime:

[80sshorts]

Good first half for the Bruins, they've been competing with Hope, keeping the score close, and this is with Campbell on the bench with foul trouble for much of the half.  Now she has three to spare in the 2nd half

Sound like GFU is in a pretty good position!

[WLCALUM83]

Behary hit a couple of 3's which helps GFU a lot. Marek-Farris has blocked Hope's Snikkers' shots (Hope's veteran radio announcer's been impresse with Marek-Farris' defense thus far.

Hope 34, GFU 33, 13:28 left in 2nd.
