I realize the total loathing of Ripon. Did they beat Marian? I thought Marian defeated Lawerence convincingly last week. I must be getting it all wrong.If any in the know fans wants to help me out I would appreciate it.   

The above post shows that Ripon beat Marian...and don't you dare start comparing scores on who beat who and then who lost to who.  Go far enough down the line, Ripon will end up being better than North Carolina.   

Are you implying that this wouldn't happen

Eh..

LU played HORRIBLE against Marian.  Everyone has their awful games.  LU shot only 40.3 %(27-67) from the floor, including 25% (6-24) from 3-point range and only 61% (13-21) from the foul line.  Not good.

While the FT% isn't good the other stats really aren't "horrible" by any stretch of the imagination. Play good defense and LU still wins that game. Giving up 87 points isn't exactly playing good defense however.

Two points...

Ripon is better than North Carolina and Lake Forest has an unfair recruiting advantage because Sack Racing has become a country club sport.

Unless you're playing Grinnell.

I had to forfeit the second half of my senior year because the NCAA found out I participated in an unsanctioned Sack Race at the Illinois State Fair.

I got 3rd.

Monmouth is shooting 38 percent from the floor so far so 40 would be an increase for them. However, they have been playing some pretty large mammals so I look for that to increase.

You're a snob Scots4

Back in my day we had to make our own sacks out of broken glass and rusty nails.

Scottie is back on the basketball site, although a week prematurely for my taste....   

I've also made my picks, so good luck with the race for second!

Were the courses uphill both ways through the snow?

He had homefield advantage

Monmouth over MacMurray 86-80. Monmouth jumps out big at half and MacMurray played this one respectable. 5 players in double figures for Monmouth.

Not only that, the competition is good too! lol

They do have Harrison Ford going for them.  Right?

Anyone going to the Lawrence/Stevens Point game tonight?  They always play Point well at home.  Several years ago, Point had a 15-point lead in the 2nd half and LU actually should've won it at the end but missed a layup with a few seconds to go.  Point got the rebound and was fouled and put the game away.  I'm gonna try to make it.  I'm sure LU still has that bad taste in their mouth from that Marian loss and Point has been off for over a week.
