Central administers the Monkey Stomp on Dubuque 76-51

Now I am glad the Central webcast just had the video and no scoreboard

Loras over Luther 68-55

Doolittle, I watched off and on during the women's game before heading out in the snow to watch the men battle it out. I too was frustrated that I wasn't seeing the score. I clicked on the option to go to full screen for awhile, then went back to watching it on the smaller screen and noticed that above the video box was a scoreboard and time left indicator. Don't know if I missed that the first time only looking at the screen or not, but agreed that watching without knowing the score was worthless. Once I found where it was, it was great, mostly because the women started playing better about that time.

Anyway, for future reference for anyone else that watches their team get beat at Central.

Nice win by the Dutch. Another double digit win season at Central, there is hope yet!

How about Coe knocking off BV by 2?

Based on how Coe was playing, that was a bit of a surprise to say the least.

The poor overall shooting percentage is a function of the offensive game plan Coe uses - they rarely run off a miss, do not hit cutters, do not really assist for baskets and rely on outside shooting, which has been poor to say the least!

Until the game vs BV, the have not been very good shooting the ball and I guess every now and then, your gonna make some. The reason for that win was that Coe was getting the 3 ball down and some timely shots near the end of the game helped them to the win.

Anytime to's out number assists, you are generally in trouble. This is a stat that needs to change 180 degrees in order to get more wins in the conference.

I guess beating an undefeated conference team is going to raise the confidence of the team and I hope to see more aggressive play that leads to some easy baskets for the rest of the season - they really need it!

Good game by the Kohawks at Central today, but the Dutch are able to hang on for the win 62-50. Nice to see the Dutch able to adjust to some players missing games recently. One starter missed today with the flu, another player was out on Tuesday. Nice adjustments over all. Lots of turnovers by Central today, but they did what they needed to do to win.

Interesting that Juckems was constantly out on the playing floor during the game it gave Coe the effect of another player on the floor when Central was playing offense on that side, particularly the way his arms were flailing all over. Surprised that he was able to get away with it.

Dubuque pulls away over the last 10 minutes of the game. 72-60 Dubuque over Luther.

Luther website looked fine...other than the camera operator forgot to move the camera for a couple of minutes twice during the second half. Otherwise, no complaints.

Central tries to give the game away, but comes away with a win after missing a bunch of free throws in the last 2 minutes.

Cornell, good game. Please get new announcers. They were pretty sad.

Congratulations to Dubuque and Central. We get Luther on Saturday.

Congratulations to Central for moving into first place in the conference! Start believing in yourselves and maybe you can finish there. They certainly have the senior leadership and talent to get the job done. I don't know if it is a matter of handling the pressure that comes with being successful or lack of faith in themselves, but they struggle at times that they should not. It would be really nice to see them get what they deserve for being the group of players to turn things around at Central, and that is a conference championship. Good luck guys!

The Dutch have planted themselves firmly in the driver's seat. I am rooting for my Ram's to run them off the road.

Coe @ Simpson -Big battle in Indianola today! But I'm taking the home team- Coe has played alot better as of late, but still can't get their field goal percentage over 45%, and will not do that today as Dunleavy has big day.

Cornell @ Loras- Loras has struggled defensively, and will continue to do that today against an experienced Cornell group. Cornell by 8 on the road.

Luther @ Central- I like the Norse, and think Central will struggle to score but Central has too many scorers- It will come down to which post players can stay out of foul trouble and Central's depth gets them a win by 8

Buena Vista @ Wartburg- BV has had its trouble with the Knights in recent meetings but the Knights have been up and down. If Wartburg shoots well, BV could be in trouble. I think the tide will turn in Waverly and BV will shoot well and get a win by 5.
