MBB: American Rivers Conference

[DBQ1965]

Three Conference wins in a row for the Spartans!  When was the last time that happened?

[doolittledog]

2 in a row was the best the Spartans did last season. 

Count down begins for posters chiming in with "big deal...who did Dubuque actually beat that was any good" 

Hooray for the Spartans, it's been awhile since they have had much success.  Hope the wins continue for them. 

We are planning on going to the Dubuque game at Wartburg in February.  We are curious to see just how nice their new place is. 

[Storm-what?]

Wow, congrats to the Storm on the upset over Loras. Might give them a nudge of confidence to finish a little higher this season. Loras came out fighting back hard in the 2nd half and I thought for sure they were going to take it, but Simpson held on to the lead the entire game and finished strong. Simpson is a very young team, they just need some more consistency and confidence. Great game by Brennen Tubaugh.

Its a stretch ... but there could be four teams tied for second place with 4-3 IIAC records after tonight's games.

Have you been listening to any of the games over the internet???  I listened to most of the football games this last year but haven't done so for a basketball game yet.  It's a nice way to get back into following the old school.  We hadn't been back there for quite a few years but after listening to some games recently we are talking about getting back over to Dubuque again.

I haven't listend to any b-ball yet ... but I did listen to most of the football games last Fall.  It is nice to have that contact.  I haven't been on campus since '05 ... but I hope to get back this Fall for the dedication of the new facilities.  Joe Chaplaty was a year or two behind me at UD, but we knew each other as I was sports editor for the campus newspaper and we broadcast some football and basketball over the campus radio station in those days.  Whenever that "dedication game" is, maybe we'll have a chance to meet along with any other UD fans who chat on here.

Let's beat Cornell tonight.

[DBQ1965]

UD 92
Cornell 90 (at home) in overtime. 

Must have been a heck of game from what I've read so far.  Having watched Spartan bball lose so many close ones over the years, this was nice for a change.

4 in a row?? nice, nice
Now if we can beat Loras, I'll be happy!

Three Conference wins in a row for the Spartans!  When was the last time that happened?

Dubuque last won four conference games in a row in February 2006.  incidentally, the fourth win in that streak was in overtime vs. Cornell

I appreciated the info.  I'm glad someone keeps up with that stuff.

Dubuque at home is leading Wartburg at the half 29-27

Wartburg took an early 11-5 lead...then I went to put our kids to bed and when I got back here it was already half time. 

Simpson is leading BV 43-37 at the half

Coe leading Cornell 34-26 at the half

[The Show]

BV wins 76-70.

I'm not saying I could do a better job on the webcast, but for the 20 or so minutes that I listened to it, I think they announced the score twice...   So I switched over to the Big Ten Network and am now watching the Hawks take a beating

[doolittledog]

Dubuque beats Wartburg 65-48

Dubuque at 5-3 in conference
Wartburg at 3-5 in conference

[The Show]

I have a feeling Dubuque's little run will come to an end this weekend, but for now, they find themselves sitting alone in the #3 spot in the conference!  Congrats!

Is anyone from Loras injured?  I see they squeaked by Luther by 2.  Their posters seem to be M.I.A. as well...

This could be topic by itself....I follow Coe ball and their student announcers have to be the worst in the conference. I understand that there students so its hard to critic them too much but I went to the Cornell web site to listen. They were much better.

Is it too much to ask to actually do some play by play? As a listenener we would like...er need to know who is getting the ball, who shoots the ball, who fouls, are the fould shots made, the score ( each time a point is added is a must) the time, who comes into and out of the game etc... you know , the basics!!!

Stories, personal stories etc need to be kept at a minimum.... you ares supposed to tell the strory of the game to each fan can get close their eyes and see the game played out based on what the broadcasters see.

Its very frustrating when none of these things happen... rant rant rant.

I can understand the hometown bias in the words spoken but for gods sake, give us some play by play.

So with this in mind, which schools do the best live broadcast and who needs some work?

I thought Loras was good ( a little too much homer) but decent play by play and they pronounced all the visiting players names correctly. Wartburg was ok too.

Sorry Coe guys, but a lot of work needs to be done - please stick to the game.
