MBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

Did IWU drop the ball on live video/audio?  Sites aren't working for me.

Not working too well, but working.

Slow grind-it-out kind of game so far.  IWU better get it more up tempo.  Don't want a game in the 40s or 50s, need to get it to the 60s or 70s. 

Looks like a good crowd.

IWU up 34-28 at the half @The Shirk.

Working perfectly here.

Working perfectly here.

Mine is working well, though buffering more often than usual, and sometimes rather choppy.

Meyer is killing us . . . someone knock that guy on the floor . . . or put Eric Dotch on him!

Great game so far.  Like the pace and the scoring now, likely in the 60s or 70s.

I'm guessing Wheaton's youth has been a factor tonight.  A tale of 2 halves. 

All St. Norbert in the 1st half, leading 38-24.

All Wheaton in the 2nd half, with Wheaton outscoring St. Norbert 33-13 with just over 2 minutes left.

57-51 with 2:04 remaining.

[Mugsy]

Tyler Peters with only 5 points on only 6 shots.  Haven't watch any of the game so I'm wondering if St. Norberts has been focused on stopping Peters at all costs and force other Wheaton players to win it.

Haynes with 16pts, 11 rebs.
Teuscher with 14 pts
Kvam with 12 pts

[Mugsy]

57-55 Wheaton with 40 seconds left.

[Mugsy]

Teuscher makes big bucket to extend lead to 59-55 with 11 seconds left.  St. Norbert makes 3pts to cut it to 59-58.  Peters misses FT, but St. Norbert misses last second shot.

Wheaton wins 59-58.  Good win for a youthful Wheaton team that no one expected to make the field of 32 at the start of the year.

Wheaton hits on only 61% of FT, but was +9 on rebounds.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Titans win, 80-71.  They stunk from the line much of the night, but made 'em down the stretch.

[WUPHF]

Illinois Wesleyan vs. Washington University in round two, yet again.

Yes, eventually it started working for me just before halftime.

Good game.  My first thought is IWU beats Wash U.  Homer?  Maybe

[iwu70]

Tried and true IWU formula.  Get to 78, win the game.

Tonight:  IWU 80 Transy 71.

IWU scoring:  21, 16, 15, 10. 

Zimmer perhaps the best 6th man in DIII.

CCIW goes 3-0.  WC over St.Nor 59-58.  NCC over Centre 68-50.

Yes, bring on Wash U, probably @Wash U, right?  NCC gets WI-WW.  Bracket of death without doubt. 

Great job Titans, esp down the stretch.  Ron Rose did a COY job tonight.  Congrats Coach and team!!!

The Titans kept the game much closer than it should have been by absolutely stinking at the line.  When Transy was 17 of 19, the Titans were 11 of 22!  Fortunately, down the stretch the 'Vampires' were forced to foul Zimmer and Overstreet - you do NOT want to foul Brady or Dylan!

As I suspected he would, Victor Davis came up big (now that it is the postseason!); I haven't seen the box and livestats never finished the last 1:07 of the game, so these may not be final, but he had 15 and 9 by that point.

And a shoutout to Meyer and Spurlin of Transy - they combined for about 75% of their scoring, and were at points absolutely unstoppable.
