MBB: American Rivers Conference

[IIAC Observer]

I have always put a lot of stock in dunk contests as a measuring stick for basketball ability.  Watch out for the dunkers from Coe.

[Dr. Phil]

Dunking can be a measuring stick but not all the time -- it definitely indicates some athletic prowess and obviously vertical jumping strength, but the real players on a team fill up the box scores.

Dunking is exciting, will get the crowd going and can add some worry to the opponents.

Who are the best dunkers on the Coe team?

Who are the best dunkers on the Coe team?

Rob Hanna and freshman Brick Carter won the contest, but Mike Kilburg will be the one who delivers it during games.

[IIAC Observer]

I've been around the IIAC for a long time now, and all I'm saying that in this league 'the dunkers' are more than likely not 'the players.'  If they could jump like crazy and play, they'd be getting a scholarship somewhere, and not paying 20 grand a year to play.  I played in the IIAC w/ guys like this......trust me...it's true.

[IIAC Observer]

On a more serious note....how close will BV keep it tonight??  I say Hawks by 22.

[The Show]

IIAC Observer speaks the truth.  And nice prediction on the BV/Iowa game.

Hawkeyes win tonight 77-58.

Shameless Self-Promotion
The season starts in a week, don't forget to join the Survivor League and new the Nationwide Pick Em League in the multi-regional board!!!

Does anyone do a pick-em on this conference?

[WLCALUM83]

Judging from what I've just read on this site, WLC's men are in for a baptism of fire in their opener tonight. (Other than the 3 starters they lost to graduation last season, virtually everyone else is back.)

Will Cornell or Coe be carrying their respective games the next two nights?

[WLCALUM83]

If Coe's not carrying the men's game, it can be found at www.wlc.edu/athletics  (men's basketball link) (WLC's call/feed).

93-62 COE over WLC

[Charlie Kohawk]

Just got back from Eby Fieldhouse where the Kohawks put on a show over Wisconsin Lutheran tonight. 93-62 was the final with the Dunkerton duo leading the way for Coe.  Brian Brungard had a game-high 22 points including 6-9 three-pointers to make us all feel better about Brad Axdahl's graduation. Kyle Kuenstling added 17 points and a game-high 7 rebounds. Conference MVP Mike Kilburg got in early foul trouble and had just 6 points and 4 rebounds in 13 minutes.

Incidentally, Coe is broadcasting all of its home games over the internet from www.coe.edu/athletics. Live stats are also available.
