All-region teams annoucned. Kroeger gets 2nd team as does Horton. Hoch and Grottberg get 3rd team.

Heavy on the Wheaton and Wash U players to no surprise....

Read the fine print on the selections.

LU's Kroeger got selected first team longest winning streak beard and Chris Page got first team for his fashionable T-shirt collection. Doug Kadison is pissed and promises to have hair like Artis Gilmore by graduation. They all are recovering from carpal tunnel from shooting so many free throws in the MWC final at Grinnell. Woosh.

LMAO!

Looks like John Grotberg isn't done playing yet.

From the MWC website

Grinnell, Iowa - Those familiar with Grinnell College men's basketball already know about John Grotberg's prowess as a 3-point shooter. Now he'll show those abilities to an even bigger audience.

Grotberg (right), a senior guard from Ann Arbor, Mich., has been chosen as one of eight men's participants in ESPN's 21st Annual College Basketball 3-Point Championships. The event will be held Thursday, April 2, in conjunction with the NCAA Tournament Final Four at The Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Detroit Pistons.

Initial indications show Grotberg, who set the NCAA record for career 3-pointers regardless of level with 526, will be the lone Division III participant in the 3-Point Shooting contest. For the second season in a row, he leads the nation in scoring and 3- pointers per game with 31.0 and 6.2, respectively. He also ranks seventh nationally in steals per game this season with 3.3.

Grotberg finished his career as the D-III's third-leading and Pioneers' all-time leading scorer with 2,848 points, a 29.7 point per game average. His efforts in 2008-09 helped Grinnell earn a share of the Midwest Conference regular-season title.

The 3-Point Championships will be shown on ESPN on April 2, beginning at 8 p.m. Central time following the NIT championship contest.

Congrats to LU--you gave Wash U more of a challenge than anyone did during this year's tourney.

This unseeded tourney is barely worth having.

Yeah, that first sentence was a little predictable, huh T2K?

Yet again, the team that knocks LU out wins the title.
That ought to make me feel good, I guess...

It doesn't.

I speak the truth. Truth should be predictable.

Sounds like a Lectric Shave deal is in the works.

Scrub023 · March 22, 2009, 10:54:57 PM

Can somebody tell me when Grotberg will be on the tele? I'm pretty excited to see how he competes.

Geesh...and I thought some of the whining by Grinnell Fans was bad when Grottberg didn't get POY. The Wheaton fans whining about how Raymond got screwed over for Jimmy B of MIT on the CCIW board is insane.
