Congratulations to UD and Simpson on their wins tonight.  Best of luck to both of you as you go up against the higher ranked teams in the next round. 

Dutch just never really looked like they got going tonight and you have to play like you want it if you expect to move on.   Sloppy ball handling has been a problem for Central all year and tonight was no exception.  On the bright side, I am still proud of the Dutch for what they did accomplish this year.  The expectations outside the locker room were not high after last year's graduation losses.  You may have been back down for the season, but you had flashes of greatness from time to time that were fun to watch.  For the seniors, thanks for your contributions, it was fun to watch Demarco have a break out year after getting little playing time until this year.  Chappy, you were out off and on this year for illness/injury, but when you played, you were fun to watch.  Best of luck to both of you.

Returning players, now is the time to start preparing for the next season.  Get tough mentally and physically and get after it next year.  Help prove Central isn't a one-hit wonder by coming back better and stronger than anyone could dream possible.  You have to keep the goal in focus, something you didn't seem to keep this year.

To all seniors finishing this week.  Thanks for what you gave us, another great season of basketball and tremendous parity in the conference.  All the best to all of you.

Regardless of the ban ... in the Conference tourney, a win at home is as good as a win anywhere.

GO SPARTANS!

From another posting ...

Everything else that happened in D3 last night is dwarfed by what just happened in Pasadena, CA:

Caltech won a SCIAC game and broke a conference losing streak of 300-plus games.

Cornelius Mosby has ignited Simpson  :o

Quote from: IOWA CONFERENCE MALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK - 2/20/11


Cornelius Mosby, Simpson, men's basketball
Chicago, Ill. / Corliss

Mosby, a junior power forward, averaged 17.0 points and 10.5 rebounds as Simpson closed the regular season with a pair of wins and secured the No. 4 seed in the IIAC men's basketball tournament. He registered 21 points on 7-for-12 shooting and pulled down 11 rebounds in a 97-85 win over Buena Vista Feb. 16. Mosby then added a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double as the Storm came from behind for a 76-75 home victory over Cornell Feb. 19.

5WOL - that was great stuff.  I enjoyed the laugh.

I'm torn right now.  As much as I want to see Dubuque win and make the tourney for the 1st time since I was at school...It's a shame the IIAC is likely to only get 1 team in this year.  In my mind, Luther demonstrated over a 16 game schedule they are the best team.  They finished 3 games above the 2nd place team.  That should be worth something.  But, I do realize sometimes the hottest team in the conference starts slow...like UD one year while I was at UD and they didn't get in because of a lack of a conference tourney. 

I am proud that UD has made it this far after losing Matt Poirier, a senior and the Spartans leading scorer this year to a season ending knee injury.  Let's keep it going and get another win and make it to the NCAA's and then see what kind of roll we can get on.  The future looks bright for this UD team.  A lot of young bench players are seeing quite a bit of playing time.  This will be good for them in future years.
