MBB: American Rivers Conference

[Dr. Phil]

Coe beat Regis ( RMAC D2)  tonight in Denver 79-66!!!!!

Wow! What a game...Coe shoots 65.7% from the field to steal the game from the 6-3 Regis Rangers!  They were 7-9 for 3s as well.

Coe was up 35-27 at the half and just didnt let up their intensity in the 2nd.

They were the superior team with aggressive play all night and attempted 40 free throws, while making 26. Regis went to the line only16 times in the game.

This has to give the team a giant boost of confidence as they wrap up their Colorado trip with a visit to Colorado College in Colorado Springs on Friday.

The crowd was pro-Coe all night long and it was great to see such a large contingent of Colorado friends, family and alumni.

Kyle Kuentstling with 22 and 8 assists
Landon Stanfield 13
Cass Behrens 11

What a night!!

Sounds like Regis played more like Kelly.

Prediction: Loras beats LaCrosse in a tight came before they go home for break......Kolze goes for a big night!

[birds of prey]

Duhawks were a 73-67 winner over a LaCrosse team that handed Augie their first loss of the season a couple weeks ago. No Ricky Kolze tonight due to a sprained ankle he suffered against Ashford, but Brian Centella added 19 points while Luke Slater dropped in 16 points and 14 boards.

Loras outrebounded the Eagles 45-32 and kept freshman phenom, Tony Mane, in check for the most part until he tried to rally them back late in the second half.

Duhawks have the week off before heading to Defiance, OH for an end of the year tourney against some quality competition before the thick of the conference schedule.

Merry Christmas to all!

BV pounded on UW-Stout today, 97-79. Cleveland and Fogleman both posted double-doubles.

BV and Central were the only IIAC schools to win today.

BV will travel to Luther next who just got slaughtered by Texas-Dallas (80-35).

Wartburg takes two from NWC teams in Arizona (PLU and Linfield) to take 3rd place in the tourney... Loses to Clark from Worcester, MA. in the 2nd round...

Hopefully got some warmth and will come back ready to go after the IIAC.

Loras loses tonight by 1 without Kolze.....nice effort by Centella.....they will get it rolling again....the break didnt help them.

Anyone view the Wartburg vs Loras game this afternoon?  I can't seem to find a box score.  How did the game flow and who did well for each team?

[sportsknight]

Wartburg was in control for about the first 30 minutes, but Loras put together a nice run to pull even at 55 or so and never looked back.  Duhawks had a tough time shooting in the first half, but when the lid opened up, they went nuts, especially from the outside.  Loras does a real good job of ball movement, and some of the extra passes they made tonight really opened things up.  Kyle White tweaked an ankle midway thru the 2nd half and sat for a while, but was back in for the last 5 minutes or so.
Wartburg continues to live and die by the outside shot.  They are very guard-depleted right now with Williams and Mason on the shelf, so they aren't driving the lane as much as they probably need to.  Everything seemed to happen from the FT line out for Wartburg, especially down the stretch.  The injuries are also creating some rotation problems.  For most of tonight's game they went with a 4 post lineup.  Gave the Knights a rebounding edge, but also led to some turnovers due to shaky ball handling. 
Pace of the game was good in the 2nd half, but 20-25 total fouls in the first half kept either team from really getting into a good flow.  I don't know about some of these IIAC refs - they pick some very strange times to call a game close or swallow their whistles.

[doolittledog]

When I saw last years Wartburg/Dubuque game at the west gym I thought the refs were terrible...but consistant.  They were equally bad for both teams so neither gained an advantage.  I saw more offensive foul calls in that game than I had seen in my whole life leading up to that game. 

Is Wartburg playing basketball in the W this season?  We were thinking of seeing the Wartburg/Dubuque game again this year but weren't sure where it was being played. 

[Alfredeneumann]

SK - as a whole I thought the game yesterday was pretty well reffed. The older short balding ref does need sto go. The no call on the drive when the wrist slap echoed through out Levick was horrible.

I was sitting with Jarrett William's mom and grandparents and was told Jarret  had 1st cast replaced Thursday and healing is on schedule. He is planning on returning for next season.

The WC 1-3-1 defense worked pretty well for the first 3/4 of the game.

[Kohawk Krazy]

Another nice win yesterday by the Kohawks.  They led by 17 at one point and held on to beat a stingy Simpson squad on the road...
