Both teams hustled - congrats all!

Congrats to Luther for winning the conference regular season and tourney titles.  You are a deserving team.  As much as I wanted my Spartans to win the tourney and the auto bid from our conference...It would have been a shame for Luther to win the conference by 3 games over 2nd place Coe and then been shut out of the tourney if they had lost in the tourney final. 

Now do our conference proud at the NCAA's

Wow - we're in territory seldom seem by the Norse - the NCAA playoffs.  The last time Luther's MBB made the post season was in 1984.  Well, it's good to be here, so I'm gonna do some talkin'.  Besides, I enjoy hearing my own echo.

The Norse tip off against Concordia of Wisconsin is on Friday at 7:30.  The game hopefully will be broadcast at http://www.cuw.edu/videoserver/athletics.cfm (edit copy and paste link).

The Falcons have an offense that puts up an average of 81.6 ppg while their opponents tally 70.0 ppg.  Sixth year head coach Coach Shawn Cassidy relies primarily on 5 players, although the bench contributes some valuable time and averages 18.6 ppg:

• #24 Skip Newton-Kemp 6'-3" G, 16.6 ppg, 30+ min./game
• #21 Luke Doedems 6'5" PG, 14.6 ppg, 30+ mpg
• #4 Mitchell Schneider 6'-3" SG, 14.3 ppg, 30+ mpg
• #31 Cory Stark 6'-8" F/C, 12.9 ppg, 25 mpg
• #12 Matt Paluchniak 6'-1" G, 4.6 ppg, 25 mpg

Congrats to Luther from Whitworth, NWC - Spokane.  We had a good game against Luther and respect their talent.  We wish you success this weekend and beyond.

Thanks for the kind words, but I think you're being overgenerous - you dun wooped us 89-67.  The week following the Whitworth beatdown, Coach Mark Franzen spoke at the winter sports luncheon for boosters where he said that Whitworth was a potential top 4 team and that the 0-4 Norse had no answer for the Pirates.  Luther must have learned something because they've gone 18-4 since.  Good luck Whitworth Pirates ... I'd be thrilled to see a rematch in the tournament!
