MBB: Midwest Conference

[iwumichigander]

MWC and IC Blueboy fans - Keep an eye on freshman guard Mark Gillingham. He is an efficient and effective point guard who can hit the three from anywhere on the court.  He should be a good addition to the Blueboys.

Just go visit her while you are there. Excuse DENIED..........

Be sure to head over to the Multi-Regional Topics Board and select your team for the new Survivor Pool! 

You might actually win something! 
Deadline is Friday before the first game's tipoff

JeffP won't talk but I will. I was at the alum/GC game, and I have a few thoughts:

- can we say massive 3 point attack from all sides? I think we can
- remember Heiser and Walsh running under opposing players to score beneath the basket? Get set for deja vu
- I for one am looking forward to seeing the GC defense 'swarm' its opponents. Nuff said.

He can hit the three from anywhere on the court?  Cause a three from the top is completely different from the wing and corner.... :-/ 
sarcasm
jeffdc, jeffp?  Can we some more jeff(insert barrage of letters) on the board?  I don't think 2 jeffs is enough.

jeffdc, I think we all expect a massive 3 point attack from Grinnell.  I don't think that is going to be a surprise.

I would love to see him know down a trey from inside the arc... that would be very impressive.

[Greek Tragedy]

inside the other arc? 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

It was meant as sarcasm, you know, taking literally  that he can hit threes from anywhere on the court.   Obviously, he can't hit threes from under the basket or anywhere within the arc.  I was exposing a paradoxical hyperbole.


Guys, please take a joke
Sarcasm is wonderful
Just smile and nod

[The Roop]

Speaking of sarcasm. Perfect lead in for me, thanks Hoops. The blog is updated now and there are "Pick ems" available for the opening weekend of the D4 season. I almost hated posting anything again because it meant that my "Things that work on paper" story would scroll off the front page.

Email your picks with "Picks" as the subject line, or use the comments section of the blog. Winner receives a prize equal to entry fees received.

Larry U has lost a lot (players) in the last two years.  If their new guys are not monsters isnt it safe to say that they will probably have more trouble in the MWC than they have in a while....

Conversely MC is returning all but two players from a team that was a Larry U victory at CC in the final regular season game from being in the MWC final 4.  MC was also 10-1 at home last year.  they get their starting center back, who when healthy is like a combination between braier and beckford, and sat out all but 3 games last year. 

Just my thoughts.....

Gotcha Hoops Fan,  I was just trying to spark some excitement. 

One more week Hawks, till Point comes rolling in!!!

1st test of this years GBall tonight against Cornell. They are coached by a former GC assistant familiar with the insides of system ball. Last year his team beat Grinnell, but this year is different.

I hope.

Go Pioneers!

[Greek Tragedy]

Early,

I'll be coming to Ripon next Friday.  Obviously playing the two-time defending champs is something to get excited about.  But, it takes a hit when Point isn't even ranked and they lose 4 senior starters.  It'll be an interesting year for sure.  We'll see tonight! 

[Old Fighting Scot]

good luck pio's.

i live in cali now and i am anxious, as i will be able to get my first look at Redlands and compare them to the system!

[hjmphelp]

Redlands will play a very fast paced version with even more emphasis on the trey, I think. I've been told it is dizzying to watch.

Have geat fun in California, Old fighting scot! Remember us here in the midwest where dribbling a Basketball outside in January means playing with a shattered ball in February!
