Still no live video at Point? Get with technology Pointers   

I couldn't agree more...

Was just thinking this earlier...You'd think with having one of the top, if not the top, men's basketball program in the country you could afford to live video stream your games

Even as a Pointer fan, I think that's a bit of a stretch!

Which school has the most National titles in the last 10 years?

Lax takes care of the Falcons 73-54. No real indecision all game as lax controlled the game from the tip.

Pointers take care of Stout jumping out to a lead and keeping the Devils at about 10-15 points almost the whole game. The score ending 70 -51, much higher than Stouts defensive average. Hass with a great first half and Heuer with a great 2nd half. Stout misses too many easy buckets, but played hard and hustled.

After a close 1st half WW pulls away from Platt in the second to a 74-61 victory. After a slow start Harris picked it up in the second half ending with 11 pts and 10 boards (must of been reading my posts). Knoble also with a good game going 7-10 for 15 pts. Jake Manning from Platt also goes for a double double with 16 and 10.

Oshkosh and EC stay in a tight game throughout with the Blugolds holding off Titans by 3 in a 59-56 win. From the stats, basically 0 production from the Titan bench. Tough to win a game when your bench can't give productive minutes.

You're right, he must have forgotten to mention "in the last 10 years"!

The Eagles hit their first 5 shots, including 4 treys to take a 14-0 lead over RF at Mitchell Hall. They led 40-18 at the break, before the Falcons pulled to within 9 midway through the second half. A La Crosse timeout halted the visitors' charge, and the final was 73-54. BIG game at Point Saturday. Who is going to be there ?

Any idea why Taylor Peterson didn't play for the Falcons last night?

A bit of a shakeup yesterday at the top of the polls. Three teams in the top ten (No.1, No.6, No.7) all lost.

I suspect if UWW and UWSP take care of business Saturday, they should crack the top 10 next week.

Platteville took an early lead at 9-4 but Darnell Harris's three-point basket put the WARHAWKS on top 12-11 with eleven minutes remaining.  Platteville would tie the game 14-14 three minutes later. Luke Knoble's layup regained the lead for the WARHAWKS and they would hold it for the remainder of the game.  The lead never exceeded six points and was four 30-26 when the half had ended.  Neither team shot well in the half WW: 37% P: 30% and free throws were essentially the difference as the WARHAWKS were 7-8 to Platteville's 4-9.  Knoble's 8 points led the WARHAWKS while Jim Stocki led the Pioneers with 9.  The WARHAWKS lead stay in single digits until KJ Evan's putback of an offensive rebound pushed it to double figures 49-39 with eleven minutes left.  After the lead had reached 15 points for the second time late in the game Platteville made an 8-0 run to close within seven 64-57.  However they could get no closer as Eric Bryson scored eight of his ten points over the last two and half minutes of the game keeping the lead comfortable. 

The WARHAWKS finished game shooting 47% from the floor including 7-13 on three-pointers.   Led by Knoble's 15 points all five WARHAWKS starters finished in double figures.  Quardell Young added 13 points while Harris and Alex Merg tossed in 11  and Bryson added 10 points.  Young had a team high 4 assists and a game high 3 steals while Harris rounded out a double-double with 10 rebounds.

Jake Manning led the Pioneers with a game high 16 points.  Manning also had a double-double with 10 rebounds. 

The WARHAWKS travel to Superior on Saturday.

Big win yesterday

And boy should that game between La Crosse and Point on Saturday going to be fun (not to mention HUGE for the conference race).

I can understand everyone wanting video streaming of games like the big boys get regular TV exposure but is there a reason that Stevens Point continues to lead the league and is top five nationally in attendance every year for D-III?  Perhaps some of it is that you CAN'T sit at home and watch it, you have to show up.  I am well aware that winning brings in the fans but if it were a very cold, snowy night would you put 1422 people in the stands if they could sit home and watch?  Also, when you cut into your gate it in effect takes money from the program.  Technology is great but sometimes you have to consider more than just wanting to watch the game from other parts of the state.  It gives the locals an easy excuse to not show up.  Tickets are $6.00 and if they buy programs and consessions that all ads up!

You can probably add Ollie White to the list of significant WIAC players hurt this year. He was a huge loss for the River Falls this season.
