[Titan Q]

Can't confirm this, but a co-worker (NCC alum) told me today that North Central has had to cancel their JV season due to a number of players leaving the team in the last week or so.  Anyone know the status of NCC's JV team?

[AndOne]

Unfortunately, the co-worker mentioned in the above post was the provider of erroneous information as the North Central JV season has not been cancelled.
Was was cancelled were the last 2 scheduled games on Jan 2 at Lake Forest due to snow and hazardous travel that day, and this Mon., Jan 6 at home vs Aurora as both schools were closed due to the recent extremely cold weather with a -40 degree wind chill.

Are you sure?  My friend's sister's cousin's uncle's step-sister knows a guy who works at Merner who said he didn't see any basketball players yesterday----so maybe the varsity quit as well.

Of course, this is unconfirmed as well  :Pl.

Is he the one that Buffalo State sent the DVD of the B-State - North Central game?

[John Gleich]

I was perusing the NCAA stats (through 1/5) and I noticed that IWU now leads the country in 3 point field goal % at 46.3%.  They're also tops in scoring margin (20.3), second only to Grinnell in 3 pointers made (133) and 4th in 3's per game (11.1)

FWIW, Augustana is 3rd in 3 pt field goal % (44.8%) and 7th in scoring margin (17.8) and 6th in scoring defense (58.8 ppg).

Should be an interesting contest this evening!

The varsity was there, but they were sequestered in the locker room watching film.

He must have been as the coaching staff never received the promised disc.

"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."

[iwu70]

Some facts:

IWU JV over AC JV 87-79

Heyen 24 and 5  (welcome back!  Brandon!).
Mallke 11
Pennington 10
T. Seibring 8
S. Seibring 8
Nelms 8
Amann 8

Percentages:  50% field, 48% trey, hitting 12 of them, 81% FT.

Good outing.  Good signs of things to come for the Titan program.

All according to the Augie Live Stats.  It must be true.

Got TITANS -- now the varsity game.

IWU'70

[AppletonRocks]

Upset alert--NPU up big on Carthage.  5-0

[nescac1]

New England fan here watching Augustana for the first time.  Does Hunter Hill always plays like this?  He's swooshing threes from 26 feet like they are layups ... wow.  I see Augustana has only one senior -- scary. 

[Iwufan]

Augie shooting lights out at half titans down 46-34

Titans won jv game.  Heyen did not play did not make trip over.

[Veinteuno]

That senior, Schlitter, might be a candidate for a medical RS for next year.

[titanfan]

Augustana 81
IWU    73

Augie played well tonight.  The Titans shot poorly from 3 and Hunter Hill went nuts with 28 points.
