MBB: American Rivers Conference

Thanks, KK. That could easy be that it was just a temporary glitch, we all know what that's like. Kind of like WB winning the conference in football.

I'm going to get an early start on my guesses for Wednesday night, assuming the games can get played. I should have stopped with my ONE 4-4 performance, but no, I had to go and try again only to get 1 of 4 right. Now that I've blown it, I might as well continue.

Central is going to provide the screwed up contacts from the BV game to Blum who will only be able to shoot air balls for the night. Dutch win, but too close for comfort.

Coe is going to hold the toilet paper and start and end the game with a bang. They want to respond well after the disappointment of losing to Central after killing us at home. Coe wins big at home.

BV vs. Loras in a fight for a conference tourney spot game with neither team playing particularly inspried ball. Does Loras freshman transfer Baxter hit his stride in this game? I think so, and Loras surprises everyone by winning at BV.

Luther at Wartburg, is Luther missing a starter? Does Wartburg respond to this rival game? It was close in Waverly, this one is in Decorah. Does the home floor matter this year? This could end up being the game of the night, but I think Luther holds on for a win here. The down hill slide starts again Saturday.

UD @ Central postponed 24 hours. This gives the Spartans an extra day to game plan the Dutch. Prepare for an aerial barage of Blum Bombs...and subsequent free throws

UD wins big!!!

Bought a whole new box of pins just for the occassion!

Should be a good game, but watch out for the Dutch. Blum will feel like he has a second skin as close as he is being guarded, but it is the Dutch that get to the line the most.

Depending on how Loras does against Dubuque, they could be on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament in the game against Buena Vista, right?

Blum didn't start

Dubuque up 41-32 over Central at the half.

Klompen and her voodoo doll must have worked. Blum not playing tonight. Fortunately, UD owns a 9 point lead without him!!!

I think tonight was the 1st time I have ever seen an entire half with no timouts. Absolutely no breaks in the action for me to see what exactly the score was. I figured UD was winning, but had no idea by how much.

Kohawk Krazy · February 03, 2011, 10:22:31 PM

Am I the only one that can't get the live stats to work for the game?

doolittledog · February 03, 2011, 10:34:20 PM

I lost the UD/Central feed. There were about 3 1/2 minutes left...

Same here. Any idea on score? Couldn't see it for most of the half.

doolittledog · February 03, 2011, 10:41:35 PM

I think UD was up by about 10 or so. My guess is Klompen got mad at what was happening on the floor and unplugged the video feed

doolittledog · February 03, 2011, 10:49:46 PM

Hmm, no live stats for the mens game and we lose the video feed with about 3 minutes left in the game that I am sure is over by now. Boo Central
