MBB: Midwest Conference

[scottie]

Also I pray for the safety of all teams traveling to and from their games this weekend as sports have been struck with tragedy today.

Accidentally beat teams like Point and Hampden-Sydney before leading the entire game and giving it away to Williams.  Congrats to Carroll on the win over Auggie, but the run is over.

Point wasn't at the same level then as they are now and Hamden-Sydney is a media darling that plays in a suspect region. They'd be 4th place at best in the NathCon.

In all seriousness I hope Carroll has already made it there because we are getting hammered right now and they would have to go through the worst of it. I think I will stay close to home and watch Recruit X play on Saturday instead of braving a trip to the twin cities. I still haven't recovered from last weeks Grinnell ordeal.

They've postponed the women's games in Maine for a day, but if you're getting pounded, a day might not be enough for the storm to pass.

[Dolph Stanley]

Maybe Dolph knows the answer. He knows everything.

Nope, just a little bit more than you apparently.

In answer to the deep dark mystery that you pose the Japanese have a well known term for how this was done.  As I said before, kudos to the college.

As for the article from the local rag, I have to scratch my head at this one:

"The Bucs routinely improved over the course of their seasons. Despite often having only mathematical postseason hopes, they never quit on their coach."

Really?  This years team finished with 8 straight losses, last years (With Hinz as a senior) lost 5 of the last six, the year before 6 of the last 7 and the year before that 7 of the last 8.

Praise him as a man all you want but avoid the revisionist history please.  I guess there is a reason that the writers for the Beloit Daily News are writers for the Beloit Daily News 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I'm just amazed that Beloit has a daily newspaper.

[The Roop]

Ah the good ole BDN. Last weeks news today should be their motto so they are in need of a kaizen or two themselves. Technically it's not a daily paper because they don't publish a Sunday edition. On Sunday you get the stateline weekender, or whatever it's called, which is put out by USA Today.

MWCTV has the womens games from Lake Forest on for free.

Good Luck to Both Carroll Teams tomorrow

Dolph, FYI.....future BDN's stories will include the upcoming film festival....LOL

The LFC women won tonight, too.  MWC is 3-0 so far.  Great job!

Not sure what that has to do with revisionist history but maybe revisionist history films could be the theme of the festival next time. Surprisingly the festival has done pretty well but the BDN makes it sound like Cannes. Films about the sad clown of life, or puppies and kittens frolicking in a meadow aren't exactly my cup of Roopacinno.

They try to feature work by local artists whenever possible. Maybe I could film Tiberius shredding every box of kleenex he finds and turn it into a statement about deforestation. I'd rather film him trying to climb the glass patio door every time the rabbit comes by outside but that would be entertaining by itself.

[Greek Tragedy]

prediction:

Augustana 88, Carroll 72

Let's see how wrong I can be again.


St. Thomas 90, Carroll 79

[Scots4]

Old School....I will attempt to continue my prediction futility as well....

St Thomas 79
Carroll 69

I may have just cracked Dolphs secret code. I've even managed to include the meeting Recruit X contingency this time. Might not have to wait until the 16th either. Depending on what happens of course.
