MBB: St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[WUPHF]

If you start doing that weekly podcast, they will most likely give you a press pass.

Congratulations to Iowa Wesleyan on the big win.

ugh   was just reminded that Iowa Wesleyan is still not eligible for SLIAC tourney as they are in NCAA provisional status..

Well they can still play for top status.. but they'll be competing to go to the USCAA tourney....

Incidentally, I've not seen a young coach with a calmer demeanor than IWC's Alex Huisman...

[Denny McKinney]

You nailed it Hopefan. While I believe the SLIAC could award IWC a conference championship. Although, I'm not aware how the conference rules on that. It's a shame they can't participate in the post season tourney. But, if they were allowed to, you would run into a situation where the loser of the championship game would be the conference rep to the NCAA tourney.

It is nice to have the USCAA tournament to qualify for. My guess is if they have a great conference run, they probably are looking to host a first round game.

This Augustana game that FU has this evening, could not have come at a worst time.

Why do you say that... I'm hoping there is not something bad at Fontbonne (ie a key injury etc)... and that you just mean that Augie is very good and Fontbonne doesn't need a beating.....

oh ... USCAA tourney is all at one place, no home games.... last year at beautiful Uniontown Pa, near Pittsburgh.  They went last year, got beat....

They went last year, got beat....

Did the men go lat year, or was it just the women?

[Denny McKinney]

Nothing Bad at FU Hope. Just a game that shouldn't be on their schedule. Tough to work on adjustments against this type of opponent.

Both went, the men lost 2, both pretty bad....

Good.. I was just scared the way it was written something bad had happened.....

So now i can say.. Is there ever a GOOD time for Fontbonne to play the No 1 team in the country???   

[Denny McKinney]

After games on Saturday and Sunday, out of town. You got a game like this on Tuesday. At least a game against like UMSL, you get a guarantee. With all the talk of SOS at tournament time, why would Augie want this type of game on their schedule?

It is a game someone like Hope would want to see. But, with the StL Media, who else knows DIII's #1 team is playing tonite?

Exactly... heck, not a word written about D2 Maryville's excruciating loss to Iowa Wesleyan... except HERE!!!

While it may forever remain but a hypothetical - how about in Salem in March?

[hopefan]

Font Augie as bad as expected...  Font down 21 after 15 mins.  Gentry only one that can play at that level.

[Denny McKinney]

As expected, Hopefan. Not to many SLIAC er's who can play at the level of the #1 team in the nation?

[Denny McKinney]

Augie is a very good team. But, I'd have a hard time watching their coach's antics. Up 30 and losing his mind every every whistle. Some might even find it entertaining.

[WUPHF]

For someone arguing for the excitement of playing on the JV team, I would have thought for sure that you would have appreciated the excitement of playing the No. 1 team, even if it was short lived...
