Dubuque hangs on to beat Cornell 61-56

Wartburg basketball hasn't been the same since they tore down the old barn and put up the Taj Mahal.  Have the b-ballers at Wartburg become soft and lazy with the nice digs?

Interesting stat from Wartburg's 105-46 win over FAITH BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE.

Wartburg made 43 shots - 34 assists.

That's a good development.  I know the coaching staff was a little disappointed with the assist numbers in some of those losses over Christmas break.

More a reflection on the competition. Elijah had 3 ally-opp dunks.

Loras basketball to celebrate 100 years of hoops.  http://www.thonline.com/article.cfm?id=231034

What happened to all those Loras posters that were on here last year?  Don't post unless their team is in first maybe?

Sounds like Central had another good game in beating Coe at Coe.  It will be interesting to see if we can beat BV on our floor again this year.  Given that they barely got by up there, I am hoping the odds will be with us.

How did the blackout go last night?

Looks like Stribe got over his broken ankle vs. Coe.......

How did the blackout go last night?

It went really well for the women's game.  Things really died down during the men's game. 

[Klompen]

Congratulations to the Beavers.  I thought maybe the Central men could pull one out tonight given that they gave BV all they could handle on their court earlier, but it wasn't to be.  Central played very well at times and didn't play bad at any time, but the Beavers were the better team tonight and they clearly wanted the win more.  It was not a winable game for us tonight, we ran out of gas, but I do think we are moving the program in the right direction.  Our time will come.

No worries, there are still die-hard Duhawks lurking on this site, although after watching today's game, I probably shouldn't be choosing today to begin posting again.  Today was the classic trap game, Loras celebrating 100 years of basketball 1300 fans in attendence against the last place team and....we lose.  I won't even comment on it except to say I hope the L doesn't come back to haunt us too badly.

I tend to agree with the posters concerning the new places around the league, I've visited the W and was unimpressed with the atmosphere, but I can't say Loras is any better.  700 in the old Fieldhouse felt packed and loud, 700 in the AWC feels 1/2 full and quiet.  The area designated as the student section is not the best place to watch and therefore the students don't sit there and if they don't sit as a group the atmosphere struggles.  Hopefully things will change.

What a big win for the Kohawks today.  It might still be too big of a hole to climb out of to make the IIAC Tournament, but they finally played a whole game today, instead of a half here and a half there.

Congrats to the guys for the win.

[coocooforcoekohawk]

Wow!

Did not expect that...

and on the big alumni day too.

They often describe a game as 'a game of two halves'  That was definatly the case yesterday between Dubuque and Wartburg.  Close game at halftime.  Close game 5 minutes into the 2nd half.  Then Wartburg went on to put a beating on the Spartans.  It was 33-33 minutes into the 2nd half and about 2 minutes later it was 46-33.  At that point I turned off that game and tuned into Dubuque beating BV in wrestling. 

My sister wasn't able to babysit so we stayed home.  The Wartburg kids doing the broadcast did an excellent job.  There were also multiple camera angles which was nice.  Took the time to inverview both teams coaches.  Job well done by the Wartburg crew.  It was fun to watch.
