And in more MWC news, former Grinnell Men's Basketball Star Fan, Hannah Phelps (allegedly jeffp's daughter), is on Investigate Discovery Channel tonight at  8:00 PM Central. She plays Leisa Hurst, the murdered love interest, on an episode of Desperate Measures: Lies to Get Women - Blood in Barstow"; her first nationwide TV appearance - other than commercials. Should be better than watching your favorite team get beat tonight, doncha think?

Scottie is tuning in at 30 minutes past.  Hopefully, I didn't miss too much.

Yow! What a come from behind victory for GC against BC! GC lagged the entire game but kept the gap to 13 pts or less. Hard to tell a lot about the game, due to the spotty internet video (agonizing, actually), but seemed like the somewhat cold GC shooting warmed up about halfway through the 2nd half, BC's defense (which was really quite impressive) faltered, and then the last 60 seconds went GC's way. Kudos to Lentsch, Maher, Ney for key plays. Nerve-wracking game.
Threes are better than twos....

Where is Mr. The Roop when he's needed....

Thanks for the update, dc. I gave up after a few minutes.

Scottie, is a chirp anything like a tweet?

Let me just put it out there, and listen good (or read well):  If one of us has a daughter on national TV, it's up to the rest of us to watch.  Just like if one of us comes out with one the best albums of the '00s, it's up to the rest of us to buy it.  Is it just me?  Yeah, it's probably just me.....

No no, Scottie, I agree completely!

JeffP and I are cut from a different cloth....   ;D

In basketball news, the Good Guys pull out a gritty win in 2OT in Galesburg for the War of 34.  A nice KC sweep this season for the seniors.

Looks like BCs loss put Norbs and Grinnell in the conference tourney for certain.
Carrol and Ripon are close to locking in their spots as well.
Now its seeding

jeffp

systemfan86, the MWC tourney will only be seedy if it is held in De Pere.
Huh? Oh. SEEDING! My bad......

My midweek blog which gets me caught up (I've been tons busy with work and personal stuff) on whats going down in the conferences as well as other stuff in the MWC, WIAC and NathCon http://diiihoopsblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/midweek-blog-11-catching-up.html

Should be a fun one at Grinnell with the No. 1 seed basically on the line.

As for the four spot, I think if Ripon splits their last two games (very conceivable against Illinois College and St. Norbert) that forces both Lawrence and Beloit (The teams chasing) to win out to just tie and both have at least one difficult game left on the schedule, making it a very tall order. The only way it ends up a disaster is if Beloit wins out and steals it from Ripon because of the H2H

Greek Tragedy

In other news...

St. Norbert grabs the last spot in the 1st regional rankings of the season. They take on Grinnell with the winner possibly keeping/taking the spot.

1. Ill. Wes.
2. Transy
3. Wheaton
4. Wash U.
5. NCC
6. RHIT
7. Augie
8. St. Norbs

Augie lost to Wheaton already this week and they play NCC Sat. Thats good news for the MWC. With 4 CCIW teams, 2 HCAC teams and Wash U all ahead of them in the pecking order, the MWC rep will need possibly 4 teams from this region to be selected as Pool C winners before the MWC rep even gets a seat at the table.
