MBB: Midwest Conference

[gbpuckfan]

At the half, SNC leads Ripon 33-31

Sabin has 13 despite sitting a chunk of the half after two early fouls.

SNC shooting poorly. 1-9 from 3, and just 50% otherwise despite having many chances in the paint

[gbpuckfan]

Sabin drops 33 but SNC wins going away, 79-62

[gbpuckfan]

Cornell 73, Lawrence 64
SNC 79, Ripon 62
Illinois 91, Knox 77
Lake Forest 69, Beloit 50
Monmouth 118, Grinnell 111

You'll be waiting for awhile.....  Rocks only chooses to comment on LU when they win, which you can see as of late has been rare.  I'm sure he will chime on on Saturday assuming LU beats 5-13 Beloit.

Out of town on business and I only have the box score so until I can determine how one team shot 38 FT and the other shot 3, I will be silent.    Disappointed they lost, I know cubs relishes in it.

Relish?  Far from it....

No need to "relish" something that has occurred every year each of the last seven (soon to be eight) years....

When one team shoots nothing but jumpshots (29 threes attempted out of 61 shots total) and the other gets to the basket you usually get a big disparity in free throws. Throw in the fact that three Lawrence players were slapped with technical fouls there's another free six right there.

Looks like Ripon, Lawrence, Cornell, Grinnell and Beloit pick up wins - and puts LU in position to make the conference tourney

[gbpuckfan]

Of course, a statement like that just begs speculation.

Interesting that it's a limited time frame. What is their academic calendar? Have they had roster changes at the start or end date?

I would think as long as LU beats Monmouth, they would make the MWC Tournament at 10-8 (at worse,) unless Cornell is able to win three of their last four against Monmouth, Lake Forest, Beloit, and Monmuth as Cornell would have the tiebreaker.
