MBB: American Rivers Conference

[The Show]

Maybe the "Live Stats" program is screwed up on BV's website, but it says...

BV - 62
Simpson - 18

HALFTIME!

Dubuque beats Luther 70-49

BV vs. Simpson...yikes

[The Show]

BV - 103
Simpson - 65

FINAL

[SLP-O-8]

That score is correct.  The beavers made 10 3s in the first half and ended with 19 3s.  BV had 5 in double figures with Wagner 19, Friedrichson 13, Franklin 13, Stribe 12 and Cleveland 10.  BV had a 55 point lead at one point in the second half.  Simpson played a pretty good second half and had a good press at times.

Nailbiting win tonight for the Kohawks.  Led most of the game and held off Central for a 75-74 win.  The field is set for the IIAC Tourny, just not the seeds....

Wartburg, Simpson and Luther done after their next 3 games...

Zak Clark had a shot to win it at the buzzer.  IT looked dead on out of his hand..........glad he didnt make it.  Great game to watch.

Clark and DeHoog are tough.  One of the best guard combos in the conference.  I like them both as competitors and they had a big time upper hand in tonight's match-up with Coe's guards.

Congrats to Dubuque for making the conference tourney.  2 more conference wins than last season and there are still 2 games left to play.  Now I can enjoy myself when I watch them at Wartburg on Feb. 23rd!!!

I just heard that Zak Clark was playing with a heavy heart last night.  He lost someone close to him on Tuesday night.  He played great and with great emotion in Eby Fieldhouse on Wednesday. 

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Clark family.

If I am seeing this correctly I can see Loras walking away with the title if they take care of business and BV loses to Central this weekend.  Central has the guards to hang with BV's.  This could turn out to be a very interesting final game of the year!!!!  Go Duhawks.

[youcantseeme]

If Loras wins out, they will be the #1 seed in the tourney no matter if BV loses another game or not.  BV's loss to Coe will be the tiebreaker in that situation.  They tie in the standings, split with each other, and then (assuming Coe locks up the 3 seed) Loras gains the tiebreaker by sweeping Coe and BV splitting with the Kohawks.

I don't see Buena Vista losing another game during the regular season....

[The Show]

Me either.

As the conference season is almost over, I wanted to see opinions for post-season awards.
