MBB: Midwest Conference

Great...I can't wait for 2 hours of them slobbering on the GC players balls tomorrow.

God I hope LU can come out with the perfect anti-system ball and kill Grinnell.  

Page for 45 tomorrow, Dekker for 30.  Lets go Vikes!!

The announcers think the GC student section is being rude?  Wow.  Is the ball orange?

Tough crowd here. One guys kills them when they actually criticize the fans for bad behavior and the other calls them ball lickers.

I was just killing them for acting surprised.

It was one of the few things they got right in 2 games....

And it was something that most of the other announcers would never had said.

They said that they were more than just rude. I can't quote it verbatum, but they used a word like disgraceful. Some of the other announcers - including ones from Larry in the past - would have been leading the cheers.

So lighten up, Francis.

Should be fun in any case.  Given that GC won at Appleton (by 1) a month ago it should be close.  Grotberg had an off night after all...

I was gonna say that was nothing compared to the sh-t we pulled when I was in school.  I remember when some idiots, not me, started chanting "O-C-D" at that Caroll kid who had transferred from Wisconsin in 2003 (I think)...

Here's a little secret.  That has more to do with the defense then just just cold shooting....

[wc2viking]

Frankly, I think Grinnell is better with Long doing more of the ball handling.  I don't think GC misses Arseneault that much.

I never was in the student section, I was always up in the press box, so I wouldn't know.  Students are always gonna be asses...its their job to make it a hostile environment.  I don't mind the students.  I just wish more announcers would try and actually be correct when they spout out something that people can take as fact, but those of us in the know can call complete BS.

[pgkevin]

From what I could hear on the broadcast, they started the whole This games over chant.  But then they started chanting something else, which when they did the announcers turned their mikes down I believe.  What'd they say

I was gonna say, there's a reason we lost only 3 home games during my time at GC, 2000-2004, we were a-holes and made it a hostile environment...

Not inventive enough, our end of game chant involved getting out our keys and jingling them while chanting "Get your keys, it's all you need to WARM UP THE BUS!" repeatedly....

See, the thing is, larry_u, this is D3 BASKETBALL.  It's Lawrence and Monmouth and IC and Grinnell et al.  It's supposed to be FUN.  Yeah, we all want to win, but you need to take a powder.  Or something.  Sit back, enjoy the great Darby accoustics, watch some great D3 ball...and enjoy your plate of crow when the Pioneers win.

Word on the street is that Lil A's career may be over

Tough way for an outstanding career to end

While his college career may be over his playing career isn't if he doesn't want it to be. My source didn't specifically authorize full disclosure so that's all I'm saying for now.

Wheaton avoids a scare and beats North Central.

I still say an Elmhurst win over Wheaton tomorrow helps LU more.  The top 2 teams looking for Pool C bids from the midwest will be the Wheaton/Elmhurst winner, and LU if they lose tomorrow.

If Wheaton loses, they will be one of the first pool C teams taken, meaning that LU if needed will be the next team and will be talked about in every comparison from there on out until the Pool C bids are full or LU gets in.  If Wheaton gets in, Elnhurst should get a Pool C bid, but it won't be immediately, and thus LU would be stuck behind them until they got picked.


Either way, just win and we don't have to worry about it Monday morning....

Not only is this D3 BB, this is the D3 equivilent of maybe the West Coast Conference or the Big Sky, a low to possible mid-major in the best years...

I may have had one or three or so tonight.  I'm jazzed up.  If I offend anyone, I apologize.  However, this LU team is arguably one of the hottest teams in the country right now, and I think its gonna take more then what Grinnell has to stop that train.

We've had more success then that lately in the NCAAs.  I'd call us more the Missouri Valley...

Oh that right...you root for Grinnell....never mind.
