MBB: American Rivers Conference

Co Coe Nut · January 25, 2012, 09:39:08 PM

Very low offensive production from both teams at Eby. Halftime score, 20-19 Coe is up. Lot's of dribble drive and simple passing around the arc. No hard cuts to the basket nor any post touches to really speak of.

It looks like Central is trying to get back to the outside shot, but we are only 1-10 from beyond the arc. Only good thing is that Coe is equally cold. Very low offensive production indeed. Hope the Dutch heat up and your Kohawks stay Koldhawks.

Dutch sure could use Marinkovich. Not sure what his injury is, only that he has his arm in a sling, not sure if it is in a cast or not, could be a shoulder injury for all I can tell. It is certainly one less weapon for the Dutch. It is good to see the Dutch staying with a team the entire first half, makes me hope they can put together a whole game. But if Coe gets hot, it could get ugly, well, given that both teams are cold, it could get ugly either way, I would just think of the Dutch getting hot as a beautiful thing instead of ugly.

Paying customers at UD getting twice the scoring for their money as those at Eby

Halftime UD 41-38 over Simpson. Both teams doing a little run and gun. Fun to watch.

I would like to say the Dutch left the Kohawks on their own in Glacier National Park, but with 11 minutes left it is 30-30.

Dubuque leading Simpson 72-59. Both coaches frustrated...refs letting the teams play physical. There will be some bruises on the players tonight.

Klompen · January 25, 2012, 10:39:08 PM

Dutch stay cool in the second half, Kohawks turn luke warm and pull away in the last few minutes, the game isn't officially over, but...

What has happened to my Dutch? They were in it at least until the last couple of minutes.

Klompen · January 25, 2012, 10:41:31 PM

Now Coe is teasing us, letting us think we have a chance.

doolittledog · January 25, 2012, 10:41:44 PM

Dubuque wins...I think the final was 75-67 over Simpson.

8-2 now in the IIAC.

Co Coe Nut · January 25, 2012, 10:49:18 PM

WHOOOOOOHHHH, huge sigh of relief. On 16-50 shooting from the floor the Kohawks get the W. Made some big free throws down the stretch. Anybody know about the Luther Loras game or the Wartburg BV game?

Klompen · January 25, 2012, 10:50:09 PM

Coe wins, but you have to love the Coe video guy that chooses to video the coaches watching the action instead of the action as the Dutch try to make a comeback.

I guess Central needs the season to end at Christmas break two years in a row.

Klompen · January 25, 2012, 10:51:36 PM

Congratulations to Coe on the win. Co Co Nut, glad one of us enjoyed the end. Best of luck to you the rest of the season.

Per Luther's SID:

"Trailing 42-39 with just under 11 minutes left in the game, Luther put together a 32-5 run en route to the victory. The Norse also stepped it up defensively holding the Duhawks to just 22 percent in the second frame"

Luther scores 39 points in the first 29 minutes of the game...then scores 32 points in the final 11 minutes...hmm
Loras scores 42 points in the first 29 minutes of the game...then scores 5 points in the final 11 minutes...hmm

Was Luther just toying with the Duhawks?

Is Loras so mentally broken by this point in the season that once Luther started to go on a run, they just gave up??

Would 5WOL recommend Mrs Doolittle and I get a burger and a brew at Topling Goliath next fall when we visit for the football game...or should we stick with Mabes or some other establishment 5WOL prefers???

Toppling Goliath doesn't serve food $:-\$

They do to! They serve pretzels.

If burgers and brew is what you want, I like T-Bocks on Water St. in downtown Decorah. But if you really want your money's worth, and if you don't mind skipping the brew with your burger, I'd recommend eating in the College's cafeteria high above Carlson Stadium. You'll get all you can eat for 8 bucks and if you get there early, you can even get a window seat near the press box to listen in on the chatter of the coordinators, SID and radio announcers. Bring along a prospective student and eat for free ... and to be honest, the food aint all that bad.

Sincerely yours,
