Ok all i want to say is that U.D. and the 11 wins last year was luck. A couple of the teams in the confrence seem to fall off with the loss of some of the key players. U.D. is a team based around one player which is Mr. Thomas. Without him shooting 30 times like everyone has a problem with they would win only 3 games. Nick has not one person he can pass the ball to and trust that they can score. I would shoot 30 times too! Also can we lay off the coach Mac bringing U.D.  to the top of the confrence stuff please cause he is not. It's only one coach that could have done that and he is now the asst. @ Purdue. I can care less about U.D's success but i honor a good player when i see one and nick thomas is just that.  You have to give him his M. V. P. award. He does not have the players on his team to get involved on the court to put up more wins and look more like the around team player so he has to do it all. See you people on here that just talk sh*t just because have to watch a U.D. game. Nick makes steal, 3's, free-throws, rebounds, and tries to do whats left. There is not one team in the confrence that has to do what he does. Every other team has a strong supporting cast.

UWEC over Buena Vista by about 6 in a game that was close throughout.  BV had trouble getting the ball past mid-court for the first 10min of the game, but didn't have any trouble after that.  Their freshman center (Fogelman?) is pretty good but he can't hit a FT.  For the first time in a while I think that BV won't be in the top 3 in the IIAC.  I was more impressed with Coe (which lost to UWL by 19 tonight) than with BV.  BV had a pretty good turnout from their fans.  Even a few student were there, however there was one fool who was screaming the whole game.  Even at one point after the crowd was grumbling over a foul that wasn't called, he stood up and was yelling, "Thats called defense!" as loud as he possibly could.  His face was all red, it was actually pretty hilarious.  One person even yelled back down to him, "Have another one!"  Needless to say, he was pretty quite for the last minute of the game.

Nice win Kohawks!  Looking forward to coming to a few games at Eby this year.
I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends. They're in my head.  I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you!

When did WB turn into a run and chuck team.....34 3's?? 14 3's from Steege..were they (Briar Cliff, I think) packing it in and daring them to shoot?

Briar Cliff ran a 1-3-1 a lot of the time and Wartburg couldn't get much going on the inside.  Schmidt was in foul trouble, and actually fouled out with about 7 minutes left.  At that point Wartburg basically started chuckin' em.   Wasn't real impressed with the Knights patience on offense.  Key stats for that game were the field goal %s, no question.  Wartburg was 33%, while BC was 53%.

Hey all,
The Dog has returned from Afghanistan and is ready for more winter fun in the IIAC, I only wish this guy Degeorge knew what defense was, it wins games and championships. Lets try not to flush this season down the toilet like last year, that was ridiculous after the accomplishments the past 3 years worth of Ram teams. Maybe Ditch on the side will bring some form of a winning attitude to the sidelines  god knows he had it when he played. Thats 2 straight losses so the dog will be there when the boys from down under come to town and we'll see if we can play better than my only game lastyear at coe when i was on leave from Afghanistan. HEY WARTHOG I ATE ATE JOES THE OTHERDAY REALLY GOOD FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE. Looks like beavs and Knights will battle it out for the title unless something strange happens I'm rootin for the pumpkin patch in that one.
Goodnight all

I guess I've never equated Joe's and atmosphere.  What the heck, if you've just spent time in the middle east Joe's probably has atmosphere.  The good news is, the beer is always cold and Joe is a Knights fan.

I saw the BV-Gustavus game last night and it was a very good game.  The Beavers led at halftime and were in the game right to the end.  BV appears to be a team that will improve each game with all the young players.  Fogleman will be MVP of the league before he graduates and Andre Wagner is a player no one talks about, but is solid.  Wagner is quick, can break down a defense and shoot the three.  This BV team is different from the ones the last few years and is undoubtedly the quickest team I have seen them put on the floor.  Consistency might be an issue this season, but the conference had better be ready the next few years.  This team is loaded with young talent.

UD over Platteville.....I guess we are taking a small step forward..any feedback on that game? I see Nick didn't shoot well, but still had 27, by making his free throws...

The Show

I almost forgot to post some predictions with conference play opening tonight...even though most games are probably at halftime by now, oh well, here they are:

BV over Central
Coe over Dubuque
Wartburg over Luther
Simpson over Loras

Sometimes You're the Windshield & Sometimes You're the Bug!

The Show

BV pulls away at the end 80-65.

That Wagner kid sounds like he's tough.  Him and Fogleman are going to be a heck of a 1-2 punch the next 4 years... :o

Just a reminder, Wartburg's 111-97 win over Grinnell is available on the internet at www.kgrn1410.com.  Go to the KGRN sports icon and find this game archived in its entirety.  If your asking how Wartburg held Grinnell to under 100 point for the first time this year, hear how they extend their man-up defense and limited the Pioneer looks at three-point attempts.  This is a good team, deserved of their #15 ranking.  I applaud Wartburg for playing against "the system".  It's a matter of coaches actually figuring out ways to coach against a system that's different from the game Mr Naismith invented years ago.  Coach Peth did a great job of rotating people in and out, extending the defense, etc.   I hear the rest of the Iowa Conference isn't so inclined to play vs "the system" for this reason and that reason, etc., etc.  Let me say this, by running "the system", coach Arsenault has put life into a program that was desolate at best before coming on. The fans love it, 15-17 players are involved, it's fun for those involved with "the system".

J:

If you'd had the correct date on the WGRN web site, I would have listened to the game when I saw a note about it earlier on the MWC board. Since the page says 11/28/05, I figured I had missed the game and went on to another broadcast elsewhere.

Just a heads-up.
