I saw Lawrence and Grinnell this weekend (well, the first 35 minutes or so). First time I have watched Grinnell. No fear in shooting the ball, is there? I thought there were fouls not called but LU just couldn't take advantage of the open shots they had (and, my God, hit the free throws). Not sure either team has enough to make the conference tourney.

Fair assessment. The Grinnell fouls that were not called were often of the offensive variety--their leading two scorers really created space with leading arms but the refs were too tired or incompetent or both to bother to call them.  Would have mattered as Marx had 3 defensive foul by early in the 2nd half....had the offensive fouls been called he would have not made it to halftime IMHO.   LU needs to make more FT, period.  Injury to Winslow did not help, either. 

I think LU might have a shot at top 4 but they will need to avoid injuries as the bench is short.  Sonleitner (SR) not playing this year is unfortunate.

Loss of Peter Winslow hurting LU a lot.  Unfortunate.

A guy averaging 6.2 points/3.3 Rebounds not playing is hurting Lawrence "a lot?"

You make it sound like the guy is Chris Braier or something...  Now if it was Nikitas, you might have a point!!!

An extra 6.2 points today would have given Larry a 69.2-68 win over the Good Guys .  Oh well.....

Cubs, unless you know the personnel, you have little to offer.

Sorry to interrupt but I had one of those "hello pot, my name is kettle and we're black" moments.    Carry on

Are you saying it's not deserved?

I seem to remember you "reaming" on a certain coach that accomplished a HELL OF A LOT more than JoJo ever has and you didn't seem to have a problem with it.

If you are speaking of a former WIAC coach who lost 100% his games--yes, 0 wins in the WIAC--I rest my case.  I guess once you win a few games once in the NCAA tournament you can put it on auto-pilot and some people will give you a pass.  Sorry Cubs, not me.

Get back to me when JoJo actually makes the MWC Tournament again.....  Until then, the NCAA Tournament is nothing but a pipe dream.

As far as losing every game in the WIAC, that is ONE season in a 22 year career..... (And the only season one of his teams finished in last in the WSUC/WIAC.)  I'll take the 12 Top 4 finishes, and put more weight in what happened over the long haul, instead of cherry-picking one year.  I guess if Semling goes 4-10 this season, he should be replaced too!!! 

I'm guessing you are one of the "fans" calling for McCarthy's head too!!!

I'm surprised after last Wednesday's game that Mr. Rocks wasn't in here complaining about St. Norbert again. Either the gym was too dark or the officials are in Grzesk's hip pocket. Or that when St. Norbert has an injury the next guy steps in and does the job instead of crying "woe is me."

Van Dellen's career winning percentage of .614 (358-225 record) includes 17 winning seasons in 22 years.

Too bad he collected a paycheck the last few years with no wins and no recruits in the pipeline when he left.  As I recall, Ted never won any of Lawrence's Super Bowls, either     I can't recall if Juckem was on the LU bench as an assistant in the Super Bowl or he was off to Coe by then.    Not going to look, either.
