MBB: American Rivers Conference

[sportsknight]

Coe's biggest problem is their inability to get to the free throw line, and while there, to convert their attempts.  As a team, they were 2-9 against Wartburg, and I don't think they had more than 10 attempts against BV either.

UPSET SPECIAL

UD over Wart
Thomas goes for 40, STOTMEISTER has a double double and holds Schmidt to 10

You heard it here first

[IIAC Observer]

Alright....weekend picks.

Friday
Cornell over Central  -  I think I gave Central too much credit early in the year.
Wartburg over UD  -  15 plus
Coe over Loras  -  About the time of year when Loras always fades....plus Coe is solid
Simpson over BV  -  Simpson's group they are playing have always played well at BV.

Saturday
Loras over Central -
BV over Cornell
Coe over UD
Simpson over Wartburg  -  My weekend upset special.

I'll just do Friday's for now and go for another perfect night :

Central over Cornell - Cornell has been playing surprisingly well of late, but I think it's time for Central to wake up, they have too much talent to be this bad.

Wartburg over Dubuque - Dubuque almost got them last year at Wartburg and I guarantee this year Peth reminds them of that, Wartburg wins in a blow out.

Coe over Loras - Agreeing with IACC Observer, this is the time of the year Loras fades and Coe re-establishes their two posts as their go-to's and don't shoot 32 3's

BV over Simpson - Kind of an upset, but again, BV is at home and for some reason Soppe hasn't been playing and Wittry is an excellent defender and can handle Hittenmiller, so all that leaves for Simpson is Parkinson.

I'm taking BV, Central, Wartburg, & Coe tonight...
AND
BV, Loras, Coe, & Wartburg Saturday.

I'll take Show's picks, with the exception of UD over Wart...I want to say that UD has reevnge on their mind versus Coe, but Coe seems to be too strong in the post. UD's post player (Stottmeister) has had a good few games, but he has his work cut out for him

[sc_stormchaser]

Soppe has a cast on his foot. I don't have the inside scoop, but I assume he won't be playing for awhile.

UD 58, Wart 51..upset special..any insight?

[keith45]

Womens upset anyway

[The Show]

BV wins 65-59.

Simpson scored 10 points in the first 13 minutes of the second half after leading by 7 at the half...

[Charlie Kohawk]

Quite a battle tonight at Eby Fieldhouse. Coe sealed it when Loras was called for an intentional foul, prompting the Loras coach to toss his jacket onto the court and draw a technical. The Coe-Ko-Nuts are making Eby a very difficult place for opponents to play.

Another perfect night...I think Show needs to quit copying my picks...but that's what guys with the nickname "poop ****" do...lol, right show? 

Easy night of picks tonight, should extend the streak to three perfect nights:  BV, Wartburg, Coe, and Loras.

I realize that this is a men's topic board, but what is going on with the Wartburg women's basketball program? WB is strong as an ox across the board in all other major sports but why not women's basketball? Monica having a hard time recruiting kids or is retention the problem? I have to give props to Coach Brunner and her Coe Women's squad. Losing four of their top players is tough to overcome. Granted they are only .500 in conference play, which is still much better than I or most people expected.

[The Show]

LOL  Nice!

For the record...I made my picks for tonight's game before you!

[The Show]

81-59 Beavers over Cornell.
