Congrats Duhawks!

Congrats to the Duhawks.  The third time is the charm.

Let's hope both teams make the D3 playoffs.

So, maybe beating a good team 3 times in a season, IS tough to do! 

As for both making it, I'm not holding my breath...

Watch the coachspeak and the sports cliches

Just got word....the Duhawks are on a mission to dominate in this game.......Look out Storm Lake there is a determined team back in town!

I was making a joke of that statement but I guess he was correct.

Duhawks!!!!

A game of streaks and the last when went our way. 

Anyone know what the chance might be that the 1st playoff game is in the AWC?  That would be nice.

Good game Duhawks...Congrats hopefully BV still gets a Pool C bid because i think they are deserving of it.

Congrats to the duhawks.....I knew they would pull this one off finally.  It doesnt get much sweeter than winning on the road at BV.........Kyle White MOP for sure this year......congrats to my man Jake Oeth on a stellar game......he deserves it.  As for BV great season this year and thanks for pushing Loras to the limit......hopefully we can get two teams into the tourny, we will just have to see come tomorrow night!

As for the DuHawks lets get errrr done this year.

PS: I must take my hat off to Greg Gorton for winning his first title in his first year as a head coach.....obviously coach of the year.

One word describes Loras' win tonight...determination. It was a battle till the bitter end with both teams exchanging blows throughout. Loras just happened to make its last run when it counted. I believe it was a 13-1 run to close it out.

Jake Oeth carried the load for the Duhawks with 21 points and really pushed them down the stretched, especially with his little floater in the lane to put the Duhawks up 5 with about 30 seconds left.

White had a quiet 19 points and 11 boards believe it or not. He played the last 5 minutes with four fouls and did so as aggressively as one possibly can.

Bottom line, Van Haaften and the Beavers came out with a "in your face" Defense that gave Loras fits and the Duhawks simply outlasted the heavyweight bout!

Congrats to the Duhawks on their second consecutive IIAC Tourney Title!

Wagner had 23 points in the game and seemed to make a shot whenever BV needed it.  I wouldn't say White is a for sure MVP winner but it will be between these 2 great players.  In their 2 games points wise, Wagner 23-19, Wagner 21-19, Wagner 22-17.  He played his big games when they matter most.  Both are great player and white is a all round great player with blocks, rebounding, and points but Wagner put up some great numbers against the biggest competition when he needed to.  He is a big game player and played another great game.  They both are amazing players at their positions but hard to compare a guard against a forward but either one is very deserving of the award.

Here in west Michigan last night, Hope beat Calvin for the third time this year ... and most likely the MIAA will have just one team in the D3 tourney.

Wagner hit some incredible shots...some that looked like his body was parallel with the floor when he let it fly, but points aren't everything. White's been a double-double (9 in all) machine this year and has the same capabilities of taking over a game as Wagner. In IIAC games, White leads the league in points (17.9) and is just one rebound shy of leading in rebounds (8.5). By the way, White has just 10 blocks on the year  .

Traditionally, the POY award goes to the IIAC winner, but since BVU won the reg. season title and the Duhawks won the IIAC Tourney, I'm not sure which one they weigh the most. It'll be interesting to see how this whole campaign for POY will unfold.

If I recall correctly, it is usually decided before the conference tourny begins.  If that's the case, Wagner is your MVP.

Now look at the games against each other.  I would take White's numbers simply for rebounds everything else is pretty similar.

Good numbers for both of these young men and very good seasons.  Last year White won MOP with numbers less than the other top league performers but Loras won the conf. and conf. tournament so I wouldnt be shocked if Wagner won it.  

I hope that Loras can represent the IIAC with a couple touney wins.  Go Duhawks!!
