I was only able to listen in right as it went to halftime and the last minute of the game.  The article I read said he wouldn't be playing so I would guess he didn't play.  UD needed you in their as a special "guest player"

not bad as one of the post players scored 17.....if scores 17 against a big 12 player...then what is he going to do in the iiac......or was that just because tyler was out and they were feeding the post?

if that was the case, UD would have score 80 and gave up 120!!! I was never known for defense!!
UD will have an interesting team, they have a big athletic 3 player from Houston (Dre Porter) and the 6-7 post from Houston (Matt McDonald)..I think one of them must have scored the 17, havent seen a box score yet

Keith held to the belief that if you waste too much energy on defending you won't have the stamina to make shots on the offensive end of the court

The ladies like the big scorer...not the guy who works hard on D!!!

I had 2 games in which I had 5 blocked shots!! that's defense!!!
ok, weak side blocks doesnt make a defender, but that's all I got....
like D'Antoni says, the goal of the game is to make baskets

[doolittledog]

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take!!!

Woo hoo, dubuque is ahead of somebody!!!

[keith45]

no way we are worse than Cornell

[Rock Chalk DuHawk]

hahah....Cornell really cant be that good this year, Keith does have a point here.

[keith45]

so since Loras is the class of the IIAC this year, how long can I hold on to UD's football success on this board?? till 08?? Early December??

[doolittledog]

Just remember between Dubuque and Loras which team has more IIAC titles!!!

[Rock Chalk DuHawk]

I dont see Loras football being good for awhile.  I can possibly see 2-3 more years of dominance for the Spartans.  The new coach is still getting used to recruiting the eastern side of the state along with the Chicago area.

I do know Loras beat St. Thomas over the weekend in a tough game.  Anytime you beat a MIAC team means the year can be something special for the DuHawks.  This Friday they play the other cross town rival, Clark.  Should be a great game and atmosphere for the town!
