WBB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[gacbacker]

Willy you need to get a writing gig in the cities like mine where nobody cares about wrestling.

Predictions for tomorrow:

Gusties find a way to shut down Hageman and roll behind a combined 50 points from Vadnais and Monahan.  GAC 71 Concordia 61

Noreen and Falvey go off from three point range and the Blazers move on. St. Ben's 73 Carleton 59

blazerball - Is that too complicated an example for you? How about this then...I can't go. Is that comprehendable?

CM - Did my sister disown me? Did I miss that?

gacbacker - I love my job. I just hate this month, when I have to work just about every Saturday.

Anyway...about tomorrow night. For those unable to make the trip, I'd suggest videocasting the GAC/CC and listening to the CC/CSB game on the net. That's going to be my plan anyway. While I've brought it up, I'm going to throw out my post on the guys side from earlier today as well.

Rumor that won't die: Video casting - done by Hamline, Mac and some Cobbs I believe - won't be possible next year. Minnesota (U of or the state, not sure which) has extra bandwidth this year that it is allowing MIAC schools to use to broadcast games. Next year, that loop will be closed.

To buy enough bandwidth to videocast a full season will cost roughly $10,000 per school and I doubt many will find that a good investment. One option is to make people pay 5-10 bucks to watch each game next season, which won't do much to defray the costs when 5 people are watching.

Enjoy it while it lasts fellas.

Wonka-  my statement from last night still stands.  I said that Megan's sister reads the page. 

[Willy Wonka]

You and "heart" are the only family members crazy enough to read this garbage we all toss out into the open, so I hope you don't take any of it too seriously.

What's that supposed to mean then?

[Maroon&Gold]

Not much to say, I just couldn't stand to see the MIAC thread at the bottom of the totem pole as far as latest posts.

Go Cobbs!!

[Willy Wonka]

My pizza is on the way. Tonight should be fun.

I wonder if the GAC bus swung by Hamline to pick up Mandy. They could trade the ride for an in depth scouting report...if the Gusties still lost, they could make her walk home

[gacbacker]

I'm in Moorhead and the Gusties have been extremely loose all day, I think they are poised for a good performance tonight. Obviously the spotlight is on Monahan and Hageman, but the role players tonight will be huge. The Gusties will need either Nelson or Boese to have a good game offensively. If one scores in double figures I think it will be a W for the Gusties.

Memo to Cella: You have at least fan extremely unhappy with the following message.

"Note: We are currently having technical difficulties with the video and audio streams. We apologize for the inconvenience and are hopeful to have the problem solved during the semifinal game."

[Willy Wonka]

19-11 Cobbers with 9 to play. Gusties with a terrible start, Cobbs shooting the lights out.

29-20 Bennies.

JJ sucks.

WW-  Do you have an updated score?

[Willy Wonka]

52-45 with 4:39 to play. It was tied at 44 and the Cobbs reeled off an 8 - 0 run.

A Vadnais 3-pointer which would have put the Gusties up 47-44 I believe was wiped out on perhaps the weakest charge call I've seen - at least via this sketchy vidcast CC has going on. No one fell ever and barely anyone moved...

[Willy Wonka]

Carlies storm back from a 10 point halftime deficit to force overtime in St. Joes, scoring with 8 seconds left. Pink-jaded details coming when the game is over I'm sure.

[westie]

thanx for the updates

COBBER VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Willy Wonka]

Cobbers win 63-55. The late run clinched it after GAC tied it up. I'd be interested to hear M&G's thoughts on the weak charge foul, as the Gusties seemed to go about 3 minutes without a point after that call.

Pre-box score analysis: Vadnais took over at PG for most of the second half and struggled getting an open shot. Monahan was kept under pretty tight wraps and the Cobbers shot the hck out of the ball, especially to start the game. Congrats CC and good luck with the Carlies.

Bennies go down in OT!! Korb hit a shot with 2.2 left and the Bennies didn't get a shot off after a TO. I can't wait to hear blazerball complain about how bad Heikenen was hacked on her missed shot at the end of regulation...

I'm sure Durbin will have the box score and story up by the end of next week. I can't wait to look at the stats!
