MBB: Midwest Conference

[fightintitan2006]

Stopped in Waukesha last night on a whim expecting Carroll to win a close game and came away really impressed by St. Norbert and their defense. Word in the stands was that Katzfey has a hernia and is out for the year (they gave him a few minutes to close his career). It makes the double-digit win that much more impressive without their second leading scorer and leading rebounder, but I do expect his absence to lead to a few loses down the stretch.

SNC fans should be rooting for UW-Green Bay, as I would expect Grzesk to be the No. 1 candidate to replace Kowalczyk if and when his time comes.

Grinnell cannot beat Carroll this year, so GC needs their MWC tourney seed to lineup with SNC or LU and hope the other upsets Carroll if they have a chance at the NCAA Tournament.

It's looking like you clinch a MWC bid with 9 wins this season. IC figures to be 8-8 while RC and LF strike me as 7-9s after looking at the remaining schedules. This assumes they beat everybody else below them and IC gains a split with LF to close out the season. 

Looks like it's time for the Good Guys to go on a 7-0 run to finish out the season.  Go Scots!

My thoughts exactly, scottie!  You just beat me to actually posting it on here.

Any plans of attending this weekend's Monmouth vs. Knox game?

What UW-Green Bay does really doesn't matter. Coach Grzesk should get an offer from a "higher level" after this season; if he hasn't already. He knows the D1 game and considering his success with turning programs around I can't see him in D3 next year.

What about the high school job in New Roop City?

I'd like to Mav, but I think I'm stuck in Orange 'n Bluesville.  While I wish the KC coaching staff well, I hope that the Scots take care of business in a big way.

Lawrence getting beat by Ripon on their home floor.....  WOW!!!

Looks like JoJo is struggling to bring in any guys to contribute in their first couple of years.  What's gonna happen when all of Tharp's recruits are gone?  Things could get REAL ugly then.....

I was extremely disappointed with this game.  I do not understand how Carroll could've beaten UW-Stevens Point.

They had one player show up last night and thats Hoch.  Ultra-quick, nice jump shot, did force a couple bad shots but overall very good until he got hurt.

The Zimmerman kid isn't bad but he needs to defend and rebound harder.

The Ladwig and Thompson kids were horrible.  And they don't know well enough to stop shooting.  Both have horrible looking jump shots and you'd think that both thought they should be playing in Madison to watch their demeanor.

Gould is the best, strike that, their only rebounder but is a liability offensively and defensively.

Not necessarily true ... most of the time its not whether he's talented enough to be a higher level coach but whether the right opportunity at the right time presents itself.

Much like Buzz Williams finding himself at the right spot at the right time ... so must that happen for Grzesk.

I don't see Kowalczyk getting fired as he has the Phoenix near the top of the horizon this season!

He needs them to play harder....he has the horses, they all aren't running right now.  I don't know why.  That game was in the bag last night and they let Ripon make several runs with less than stellar defensive play.  Aris Wurtz is a good player but he isn't that good. If you give me 10-12 foot jumpers all night I'll kill you too.

Nice edit to the poll, scottie (or whomever it was)! lol

So with a couple weeks left in the season, and Norbs leading the way in the conference, who is in consideration for POY?

Is there a player on the Green Knights who merits consideration, or are they getting it done as a team? Clearly Norb's coach leads the way on COY, but there doesn't appear a leading  candidate on POY.

Hopefully that basketball team over there in Orange 'n Bluesville will get things back on track this weekend against the Squawks...last night was not good in any way, shape, or form.  That being said, I'm in agreement with your statement of wishing the Fire coaching staff well and hoping they can pick up a win at some point--but just not against us (maybe against The Roops' Bucs).

Hoch is my player of the year pick.
