Titan Q

Here is the site for the Cal Lutheran tournament IWU is playing in...

The Titans play Gettysburg tonight at 8:00pm PST (10:00pm CST).  There is a live video link, but I'm not sure if they're streaming the non-Cal Lu games or not.  Projected starters for all 4 teams are below:

I listed Matt Schick starting for the Titans, but per the Pantagraph, Ron Rose is starting Jordan Zimmer tonight:

Sounds like freshman Victor Davis will also be inserted into the rotation.

If that's the same tourney wheaton played in last year they did live stream the other games.

Augie beats UW-Stout 81-75 at the St. Norbert Tournament. Kyle Nelson with 20 points and seven boards. Bryant Voiles with 16 and 10. Troy Rorer had 11 and Brian DeSimone 10. After a 45-40 first half, neither team could make a field goal in the second. Augie was 5-18 (.278) and Stout was 9-29 (.310). Free throw line was a different story, though. Stout was 14-14 in the second half and 21-23 for the game. Augie was 26-33 in the second half and 34-43 for the game.

Vikes led pretty much the whole way and were up by 15 with under 12 minutes left before Stout came back and cut it to two, but Augie was able to put it away at the free throw line.

St. Norbert's a big favorite in the second game and tomorrow night's game looks to be a real grinder.

North Park travels east and gets beat by #2 Williams 85-54 at the Salem St. Holiday Classic.  Here's a link to the box score:

Nice to see Augie come through at the FT line in the clutch. It looks like Augie canned 10-10 from the FT line in the final minute or so to save this victory. Based on earlier season efforts at the line, one would have suspected they might have lost this one. but Nelson, Voiles and Anderson all came through at crunch time. Stout is a decent WIAC team, so a good win for the Vikings.

Just returned from Upset Central.  Elmhurst defeats Depauw 61-59 and Calvin loses to Benedictine.  Now this is why I don't feel comfortable gambling in Las Vegas.  In both games, the underdog was able to stop the big dog at crunch time and make their free throws.  Compliments to the Bluejays and Eagles for playing tough-nosed, in-your-face defense and making just enough field goals at critical times.  Tomorrow's consolation match of Depauw vs Calvin should be an excellent game.  The winner's bracket of Benedictine vs Elmhurst is a toss-up.  I'll take Benedictine.  Elmhurst showed they can compete with the bigger, stronger teams tonight.  I am surprised.

IWU wins in Cali.  67-53.  Zimmer back and looking pretty good.  K-man still a bit at odds with himself.  Victor Davis in the rotation bigtime.  Titan go to 8-2, play Cal Lutheran tomorrow for the tourney championship.  Video feed from CLU to HK excellent.  I had no troubles watching it on a Thursday morning in HK.   Looked to be only 10-11 Titan players were making, allowed to make the trip?

Happy New Year to all the Titan Nation . . .and all CCIW chatsters.

* Jordan Zimmer: 18 pts (22 min)
* Doug Sexauer: 17 pts, 8 reb

Rebounds: IWU 38, Gettysburg 22


Jordan Zimmer led the Titans in scoring in his 2010-11 debut.  He missed several open 3's he normally makes (was just 3-10 from 3), but he did a lot of very good things on both ends of the floor.  Most notably, he was extremely aggressive in taking the ball to the basket.  Zimmer is not in "game shape" at all, and can only play for about 4 minutes at a time, but when he is there IWU is just a completely different team. 

IWU shot the ball miserably from 3 tonight (6-22, including 1-8 by Sean Johnson) but still won fairly comfortably.  The Titans played with a sense of urgency on defense tonight, and that was nice to see. 

IWU faces Cal Lutheran tomorrow at 8:00pm PST.  From just watching each team play one game, I think Cal Lu is a lot better than Gettysburg.

Q, is Ryan Connolly injured or ill?  No playing time vs. Gettysburg?

Hope we get another W tomorrow.

All best, IWU 70

Connolly is not hurt or in the doghouse as far as I know.  Watching the rotation last night, my guess is that Ron Rose is taking a a hard look at the following heading into CCIW play...

G - Travis Rosenkranz (Eliud Gonzalez)
G - Sean Johnson (Matt Schick)
F - Jordan Zimmer (Matt Schick)
F - John Koschnitzky (Victor Davis)
C - Doug Sexauer (Duncan Lawson or Ryan Connolly)

Whether Lawson or Connolly is used at the 4th post spot (for 10 minutes or so per game) will probably depend on matchups and needs (on both ends of the floor).  

I loved IWU's rotation last night.  With Zimmer and Koschnitzky out, there were just too many different guys coming in and out - some of which were not scorers at all.  Last night, the 9-man rotation had a great flow, and every IWU player in the game at all times could score and do positive things on both ends.

In a "shootout" in Adrian, Mi, NCC leads Adrian at the half 19-17!
Only 3 players have scored for NCC--Raridon with 9, Burchett with 6, and Gamble with 4.

And what of Dan Schouten who has started 7 games and seems to be doing well, shooting .467 overall and .524 on 3s?

After starting 24 of 27 games last season, senior Edmond O'Callaghan seems to have fallen off the edge of the earth, seeing a total of only 8 minutes of action all season.

Yikes!
Adrian outscores NCC 24-16 in the 2nd half to down the Cardinals 41-35.
NC shot 25 percent (12/48) for the game including 14.3 (2/14) on 3s,  and 56.3 (9/16) on FTs. The last NCC field goal was a 3 pointer by Derek Raridon (18 points) with 8:59 remaining!
Adrian wasn't much better, but good enough.
Ugly.   :(

Quite a departure from the nice 90-85 win at Rockford Monday night where the Cardinals came back from a 13 point deficit behind strong games by Kevin Gillespie (career high 22), Landon Gamble with a double-double (18 and 11), a terrific 18 point game off the bench from Tyler Bantz, and 12 each from Raridon and Jack Burchett.

Mr. Ypsi

Yikes, indeed.  Adrian held Millikin to 29 and NCC to 35.  The only other team to score less than 50 against Adrian was 2-5 Wentworth, who got 43 (most teams have scored in the 60s or 70s).  Methinks the low output says more about NCC and MU than about Adrian. :(

I really thought NCC had turned the corner on their early debacles, and might battle for a conference tourney slot.  Maybe this was just a one-time glitch, but I'm now leaning towards:

1/2/3  IWU, Carthage, Augie (in my guessed order, but oughta be a dogfight)
4  Wheaton
5  NPU
6/7  NCC, Elmhurst (again, if forced, they're in my predicted order)
8/9  VACANT
10  Millikin
