MBB: American Rivers Conference

[Pat Coleman]

Tim Calderwood gets a great deal of respect from our crew for his excellent, professional call of the game tonight, especially in the closing minute of overtime when a crucial call got overturned to the detriment of Loras.

His professionalism and unbiased call was refreshing in contrast to so many homers calling D-III games and questioning officials right and left.

I look forward to listening to more games next year. Congrats on a fine season.

The duhawks will be more than tough next year.  They should not have a problem adding a little more depth to the team with a strong recruiting class to come in.  Conference Champs and New Facility should be an easy sell to get kids to come and play for the Coach of the Year.  Most importantly it is a great school in a nice town.

The Duhawks go to player this year might have been if anyone Kyle White.  But this is a team that really plays all around equal opportunity basketball.  Centella is a PG with a scoring mentality....he wanted to win so he tried to take it upon himself, you cant blame a kid with confidence.

OVerall great season and look for them to make noise next year.....I am excited already to see them back next year.

Freebird? Do you follow SJU56321 around to start trouble or does he follow you? This is the second board I've seen you two fighting on today!!

What you read on this page was a prelude to the discussion on the MIAC board 

This topic seems to flare up every few months or so between the SJU faithful and I.  My apologies for leaving such a mess on the board.

Ditto those comments Pat!  I thought the Loras game announcer did an excellent job.  In fact, I also made an in-game comment on the MIAC board last night how well prepared he was & his scouting report on the Johnnies.  There were 2-3 situations when you could tell he thought the calls were questionable for either team, but he left it at that.  Very well prepared & professional.

Nice run & good season Duhawks!

[Gregory Sager]

Congratulations on a fine season, Loras. I'm sure that Duhawks players, coaches, and fans will treasure the memory of the IIAC title run and the first-ever tournament appearance for Loras.

Exciting news released today from Coe Nation.

[lorbec47]

So after Coe and UD put in fieldturf this offseason, that'll leave Cornell, Luther and BV. How long before one of those 3 jumps on the wagon?

[Alfredeneumann]

Of course it will be Luther - BLUE like Boise St.  for team  Smurf. 

[keith45]

all region teams are out....congrats to all the IIAC players nominated. was surprised to see 6 WIAC players on the team. Also, no Tyler D from UD. he averaged 20 pts, 5 reb and 5 assist as a PG.

Must be nominated in order to make team.

ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING about this posted @ Hawkeyenation.com

Word has it that Loras College's coach Chad Walthall is a possible candidate. He coached with Coach Lickliter at Eastern Michigan, and he and his wife were both at the press conference. Anybody else here anything like this?

[sportsknight]

Today's Dubuque paper mentioned it, too, but Walthall dismissed the speculation.  Not a flat-out "no," but still.

[The Show]

I don't think Duhawk Nation should have to worry too much.  We saw how accurate message boards were while they were trying to hire the new Hawkeyes head coach!

[Pain_Train]

I  bet this was a tough decision for Walthall. Sounds like he's leaving the cupboard far from bare at Loras

Loras' President named the ideal candidate and best qualified Coach for the job.  The Duhawks won't miss a beat.  Even though repeating as conference champs is difficult, I am confident they will be right at the top again!  Good Luck, Coach Gorton.
