MBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[cubs]

That was titan2000. There was speculation, after titan2000 was banned, that AppletonRocks was him or related to him, but that was put to rest...or just forgotten about.

Going off of Pat's post, I'd guess the latter is correct despite how Rocks continues to deny it....

Cubs--LU has a home game today, make sure you go.   

Nah....  Would rather stay at work!!!

La Crosse shoots 54 pct. from the floor in a 14 pt. win over previously unbeaten UWW. A nice win for the defending champs.

It's like a U-11 pee wee hockey team beating the 1980 Soviet Union team by four goals.

Not a good start for the Dawgs tonight. Bublitz 0-9 and fouls out. As a team, the hosts shoot 33.9%

Chris Jones??? 3 min in box score. injury, mistake?

Jones was injured in the Lawrence game when he was undercut.  He missed the Central game entirely.  Last night he warmed up and played briefly in the first half but was unable to continue.   Not sure of what his status will be for this weekend.  Unfortunately even Jones wouldn't have helped last night.  We were just outplayed in virtually every aspect of the game of basketball.  You have to give La Crosse credit.  They were well prepared, disciplined and seemingly couldn't miss.  Their defense was tenacious.  It was ugly if you are a purple guy.

It's like a U-11 pee wee hockey team beating the 1980 Soviet Union team by four goals.

I know you're not serious but La Crosse is a hell of a lot better than that.

Which just shows even more how outlandish your prediction of Whitewater going undefeated on their way to a National Championship was..... 

Now Whitewater could still go on a run and win the National Championship, but to think they would do it unscathed when there hasn't been an undefeated WIAC Champion since the 1990's is pure lunacy....

La Crosse (9-3): 82
WARHAWKS (11-1): 68

The Eagles hit on 9 of their first 10 shots and though we were able to keep up with them for a while they eventually made a 10-2 run opening a double digit lead which we could never overcome.  We did get back to within six points with about two minutes remaining in the half but they hit a three pointer and neither team scored the rest of the way so the Eagle lead at half was nine 43-34.  The Eagles shot 60% for the half.  We didn't shoot that badly ourselves, 50%, but they were 5-8 from beyond the arc, we were 1-5 and their bench outscored ours 12-0.  The second half wasn't a much different.  The Eagles went back up by double digits after a few minutes eventually building their lead to a high of 15 points and every time we reduced it to a single digit, getting as close as 8 points, they hit their shots, went 16-23 from the free throw line and we had empty possessions.  We've lived by the three pointer but last night 48 or our 68 points were scored in the paint and we hit only 3 of 13 treys.

Scotty Tyler: 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals
Demetrius Woodley: 17 points, 4 rebounds
