Try the Final Score, Hilltop Pub, Guu's or if you're with the guys, the new place that has the girls in short plaid shorts! I forgot the name of it. The places I named is for good eats!

Gotta love this from JSOnline.

The highlight undoubtedly is this gem...

Third-seeded Whitewater (22-5), which got 21 points from junior forward Dustin Mitchell, must wait until Monday morning to learn whether it will receive an at-large berth in the NCAA Division III tournament field.

"If we did not get in the NCAA tournament," Whitewater coach Pat Miller said, "I would probably resign and go coach in the NAIA."

Short plaid skirts place is Tilted Kilt.

I find that place despicable.

What a great game last night. Both teams giving everything they had and truly leaving it on the floor. Very physical match up last night as well. Guys were on the floor all night. I am wondering though how Goodwin is feeling today after running very hard into a Jeff Skemp screen during full court pressure. He hit him hard enough that it knocked him a few steps back after the contact.

I'm not going to get into a play by play of the game, because that is what the schools' websites are for. I will say this though, that last nights crowd was as loud as I've heard in some time at UWP. There were about 1000 less people in the stands last night compared to the first meeting with Whitewater this year, but the crowd was much more energized and vocal last night. Guess that is what playoff basketball will do.

Anyone who watched the Badgers at Indiana had to see the giant photos of faces of certain people. It certainly wasn't the first time its been done or the last. I have to give props to the O-Zone last night, as a few students had some of those of Coach Combs and it looked like Curt Hanson...nice touch.

Lohoff needs bananas!

It's to be noted...usually on the WIAC page, championship games are either at 3 pm or 7 pm.

The Pointer men play Platteville at 3 pm on Saturday and the Pointer women host Eau Claire at 6 pm, not 7 pm.

The Marquette Golden Eagle student section started the huge head phenomenon roughly four years ago. And it chaps many hides that Tan Tommy seems to have brought the practice to Bloomington with him.

Agreed. Coming back from being down 17 in the 2nd half shows just how talented their offense is. They'll get in, as much as I'd like otherwise.

If Miller resigns think he'll have to work a scorer's table somewhere?

"If we did not get in the NCAA tournament," Whitewater coach Pat Miller said, "I would probably resign and go coach in the NAIA."

I agree with Miller even though it could mean another WW-UWP match up in the 1st or 2nd round in the NCAA. The top 3 in the WIAC are almost inseparable.

12/16 SP 67 WW 63 (OT)
1/10 SP 73 UWP 66 (OT)
1/21 UWP 86 WW 78
2/11 WW 75 UWP 62
2/14 WW 80 SP 78 (OT)
2/21 UWP 55 SP 52
2/26 UWP 77 WW 74 (OT)

4 of the 7 games between these 3 teams have gone into OT with 1 more to be played I'd say all three deserve a NCAA bid

I think in any other year, WW would get automatically in if it was just PV and WW or SP and WW or just two dominant teams, but 3 dominant teams in one conference, haven't seen that before. And maybe WW on the road would be good since the last two appearences ended at home in disapointment.

Hat's off to Lohoff, I have felt the pain of dehydration cramps, but can't imagine what it's like to go through 20 minutes of it on the floor and have to go to the hospital just to get fluids. I didn't think WW would come back so I turned the game off the radio, thinkin that it would be a blowout. I doubt Miller would quit, but they consistenly showed that they are a good team all year, although I haven't seen them in person.

GO HAWKS

Anyone up in point know how fast the pre-game (non-reserve) tickets will go. Trying to determine how fast to get up there? I tried to reserve but I needed a credit card
