MBB: Midwest Conference

[AppletonRocks]

Just found the box score. Guess it got worse, at least on paper. The whole LU lineup was at risk of fouling out.  Anyone else see the second half and OT?

Not going to draw many fouls when you are jacking up 41 three point shots...  Must be trying to copy Grinnell, although they have a LONG way to go!!!

LU didn't get screwed in this game.  They got Sabined.

Sabin is really good, no doubt.

But......you knew there would be one....... one play I recall was a Sabin 3 pointer he missed with a strong leg kick into DePouw. DePouw did not touch him, he kicked DePouw, and then Sabin did an Academy award flop.  Of course, the MWC ref reacted, rather than paying attention, and gave him 3 free throws.  Some of you might call that smart play; I think it should be an offensive foul.  Is there any other call in that circumstance a ref could make if he thinks he created the contact?  At least, it should have been a no call.

I thought Ripon was a lock to win the league but after yesterday I have my doubts.  If Sabin or Loughrin is off, they are not as menacing.

[LetsGetRipped]

Agreed on all accounts.  Ripon will hopefully look different in January.  First 3-4 guys off the bench are newcomers and need to keep getting better.  I wish they would play faster all the time with their lack of size.  But what do I know.

Somewhere today, The Roop is smiling.

Somewhere today, The Roop is smiling.

This is the kind of game Roop may have attended.  He understood the BDTR mantra that seems to have been lost amongst the current conference.  Wonder why?  Was it just a Gillespie vs. the world thing?

Roop would have been at the Grinnell-Beloit game to watch his team (the Bucs) beat his secret passion (the Pioneers).

[AppletonRocks]

The road game for sure.  And a Roopacino before.

The Roop would have enjoyed seeing Grinnell going down against America's Team and The Good Guys to start conference play.   

[LetsGetRipped]

The better dead Redhawks sit at 7-2 after a good win over Calvin last night 86-80.  Sabin goes off for 38 pts and sits #2 in the D3 country in pts/game behind some little guy from Iowa.

[AppletonRocks]

Oh for the night that Sabin gets cold. 

If he keeps converting, I won't suggest he has gunnerhea.

[AppletonRocks]

St Norbert gets smoked by John Carroll in their home tournament, 80-70.   They must really be bad this year.

What are Lawrences chances of beating St Norbert tomorrow?
