Thought I would blow the cobwebs off this board and mention that I am venturing down to New Ulm today to see Presentation at Martin Luther.

Thanks for the bump, Pat, how was the game?  Is the Martin Luther student section still crazy during a down year for the Knights?   They're easily one of the best I've seen at this level when they're winning.  I'm sure the atmosphere in the gym probably got a boost from BockFest as well.

Actually, it was a good game -- Presentation jumped out 10-0 and 17-6 but Martin Luther went zone on them and Presentation couldn't hit from outside.

Student section was in good form, though I was told they were smaller in numbers than usual.

So does anyone know anything about Greenville's basketball team?

What they have returning from last year...who they expect to be the top performers and maybe where they are expected to be in the conference...

Wrong board, you could try the SLIAC board.

Phew, let's try knocking off a little dust & cobwebs out of this room. 

AO, if I can convince somebody to go with me, what time would you suggest I get over to Northwestern to check out the UMAC championship on Saturday night?

It's a 7pm start with no women's game beforehand as the women's final is being played at Morris, and Morris doesn't typically bring a lot of fans, so I would say a sellout is unlikely.  Also, Northwestern was up 47-25 at the half last time these two squads played and a little apathy about seeing this matchup again may exist despite the first ever automatic berth in the NCAA era for the UMAC on the line.

If it's cold and you want to park in the closer lots and not walk the half mile from the new lot they created by tearing down the tennis courts you may want to get there by 6:30.

Northwestern takes the UMAC tournament and the AQ 73-60 over Morris.   Your thoughts, Drake?

I noticed that Bethany Lutheran college's new basketball coach officially started yesterday. He took over for Rick Jedeloh.  He has a very impressive background.  Came from division I Florida Gulf Coast.  Brought their program from D-2 to D-1.  Very impressive record when they were a D-2 program.  Looks like a very good hire for Bethany.  Impressive for them to get a coach with previous D-1 and D-2 experience.  Wonder how he will do @ Bethany ?

I hope he does well... one of my former teammates at UWSP coached with him at FGCU... and though he was the only coach the school ever had, taking them from D-2 to D-1, as you said, they really didn't give him the tools to succeed... after he was let go, they increased his budget and staff.  Not a great way to treat a guy who's gotten you to where you are now!

Let's try another post and see if after 3 years, February 2010 we can get this page, page 10 to turn over to page 11.

Congrats Northwestern- it seems you all will need it taking on UW-Whitewater.

It would appear Northland's MBB coaching position is open:
