BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

Impressive showing today for point vs benedictine looks like they came to hit today.  Looks like benedictine is having rough year as is point but it's a good sign when point makes the long trip and takes both knowing the games are essentially meaningless.

How will the tie breaker for conference seeding work if UWSP and UWO have matching records at the end of the conference schedule?

So, like this...

1. Head to head - OSH and SP are both 2-2
2. Record vs. LC - OSH is 0-4, so if Point manages to beat LC even once they will have the tiebreaker advantage
If not,
3. Record vs. WW - OSH is 2-2, SP is 1-3, so OSH would win the tiebreak

Three-way tie...
1. Head to head - WW 5-3, OSH 4-4, SP 3-5, so that one is pretty easy.

WW also holds the two-way tiebreak over both SP (3-1 head-to-head) and OSH (1-3 vs. LC)

I highly doubt point will win a game against la Crosse the way the Eagles are playing.  Best shot will be if Erickson can pitch to his pitential.  Would be awesome if point could get a split I'd rather face whitewater first round than going against boushley

Looks like Oshkosh wanted lacrosse first round of wiac tournament.

Platteville wins two more today, and UWO won't have to worry about La Crosse....

BW-
Six games for Whitewater this week, and not a single game report?!?!  You still bowling? 

[ShineTime]

Hopefully point can hang on they are up 7-2in game 1.  Will whitewater go with Morgan game 1 of conference tournament?  Should point throw Cole Erickson game 1?

Sorry, I've been really busy, fell behind and just didn't try to catch up.  Thank god we no longer bowl. 

WARHAWKS win all four against Stout 6-5, 13-4, 3-0 and 7-1.  Shah didn't have his best stuff but was good enough in the first game Friday.  Rentz threw for the second day in a row winning Friday's second game which featured a WARHAWKS triple play involving the outfield.  Morgan pitched a complete game, four hit shutout today.  Hurst threw well in game two.  Bachar went three to close it.  Eight games in four days has been a challenge and it started poorly going 1-3 against Concordia-Wi and St Norbert so finishing it with a sweep was important to give us some momentum gong into the conference tourney.

After a lackluster performance Friday, the Titans got their one win that they needed (plus another). Wasn't a save situation but Tomasiewicz went to Sabel to seal the deal. Will be an interesting conference tournament as usual. I want to see what happens if the Titans can jump out to a lead against UW-L and get the ball in Sabel's hands. If UW-O can win the first one I wouldn't be surprised to see them win the tournament.

Even if UWO gets a lead and gets the ball to Sabel, he'll have to pitch better than he did against the Eagles a few weeks ago, as he nearly gave up as many hits (four) as he recorded outs (five.)

[ShineTime]

Point has to throw Erickson game one he's the best chance they have of beating whitewater.  Would be nice to see Oshkosh beat la Crosse but boushley pitching seems to be an automatic w.
