MBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[palum]

Platteville beats Oshkosh  88-75. Back and forth game but Platteville finished strong. It looks like Alex Raney is taking up the minutes of graduated Carter Voelker with freshman Logan Pearson getting alot of minutes. Good to finally have games and thanks to Platteville for updating their video stream.

River Falls over Stout 82 to 77. Noah Hanson lead Falcons with 28 points. Alex Ohde had double double with 15 points and 17 rebounds.

['95 Blugold]

Blugolds lose to LaCrosse 62-43. Looks like the Eagles went on a big run to close out the first half and then never looked back. Feed wasn't working out of LaCrosse for some reason, so I took the opportunity to watch the Blugold Hockey team get off to a strong start with a nice win over UWSP.

Good to have the WIAC back. What fun night of hoops. Masks were not required during games in Oshkosh, Stevens Point, and Whitewater. Masks were worn by both teams at all over venues. It appears Platteville may have the strictest protocols to follow. The benches there were on the opposite side of the scores table and the Platteville women's team wore masks while the Oshkosh women did not during play. All others appear to be similar with spread out benches but otherwise fairly normal for basketball these days.

Point beat Whitewater

Point looks dreadful tonight, down 35-23 with a couple minutes left in the first half.  Flory and McCray in foul trouble early just like in Whitewater on Wednesday.  Whitewater getting a wide open look any time they want.  Point needs to figure out some defense and quickly.

Falcons lose to Stout 81-72. Stout without Ciriaks, Falcons without Englehart. Both injured. Stout quick and aggressive. Falcons could not shoot:  17% on threes. Ohde 12 rebounds, 24 pts. (second straight dbl/dbl), Hanson 16, Stensgard 13. Hanson had 4 threes.

Alexander 10 boards, 22 pts. for BG's.

Big night for the Hawks against Point. Men's and women's 

Edit: and wrestling too apparently

Freshman have been added to Platteville's roster, 21 players listed.

Something that completely has been lost the shuffle. Freshman Reed Gunnik transferred from Platteville to Oshkosh at semester.

RF over Lax 67-66. 22 for Ohde, 19 Hanson. Cook had 22 for Eagles.

[tomt4525]

Platteville escapes Point with a 74-72 win, Platteville had a 41-30 lead at half due to brutal defense on UWSP's part.  Point came storming back early in the 2nd with some hot 3 point shooting.

If Garrett Nelson didn't play tonight, Point probably wins by 10.  He has been extremely disappointing for a returning player with experience.  The positive tonight, Anthony Espensen must have gained some confidence that he belongs after tonight's game.

WHITEWATER and Oshkosh were cancelled.  My understanding is that an Oshkosh player was symptomatic.

What an embarrassment the announcers are for this Platteville/Point game tonight.  They are literally the worst I have ever heard.  Not only do they not know the game of basketball but one of the announcers said while yelling on air, "no foul?, Jesus Christ." 

[tomt4525]

And...now that same announcer says also yelling on air, "that is a god awful call."

[fredfalcon]

Falcons lose at Lax 83-52. Down 11 at half, they were never in it second half. Ohde had a dbl/dbl for RF w/ 18. 5 in double figures w/ 15 for E
than Anderson and Steele.
