MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Greek Tragedy]

That may be what the UWW/Marian game will be like tonight...I think they play.

Rockford vs. WLC on deck: 

Go, Warriors!!!

[WLCALUM83]

WLC 20, Rockford 11, just shy of 11 minutes left in 1st half.

[WLCALUM83]

Halftime score:  WLC 37, Rockford 20.

So far, the Warriors have, for the most part, kept the Regents' transition game in check--however, the Regents went on a 5-0 run to end the half. WLC's hit several shots from outside and Lindbergh's had a couple of lay-ups.

[WLCALUM83]

WLC 59, Rockford 38. 12 minutes left in 2nd half.

[WLCALUM83]

Coach Noon  emptied his bench late. Final, WLC 77, Rockford 68. 

Things to note:

1)  WLC's lead reached 26 at one point in the seond half.

2)  The Regents' outside shots weren't dropping when they had to have them.

3)  This poster wonders how much closer the entire game would have been had Rockford had a couple of games under its' belt before-hand. (Tonight was Rockford's first game, the Warriors had played 2 last weekend in Iowa.)

4)  WLC outshot Rockford from the field 48% to 30%.

5)  Guess who WLC gets next??  Lawrence.  (Yes, that Lawrence).

The Warriors get off on the right foot in Northern Athletics Conference play.

The Way I dont even know why Im bothering to that reply to that stupidity but

Stop giving us a 12 page update

exagerations are mighty fun but in order for my post about something relevant to D3 basketball to be 12 pages that would make your post complaining about my post approximately 3.5 pages

they are not even currently in this league.

I believe we have been accepted and unfortunately are in the league. However, we currently are not "playing" in the league. Our athletics page even has the cool logo. Besides I dont think the hardworking people who run this board and site would care to have MSOE having its own thread for a season

they cost the conference its automatic birth to the NCAA tournament.

That sure is a sad story, almost brought a tear to my eye. So because MSOE tried to improve its athletic prestige, they should no longer be mentioned in anything? Perhaps they should have just kept the name of the conference.

I would much rather pick up my National Enquirer and read about K-Fed trying out his new WWE moves on Justin Timberlake.

you could do the same thing you do I presume you do there and just not read it.

Save your game capsules and MSOE updates for your Thanksgiving Day toast at the dinner table.

Or I could post them on a d3 basketball message board. I am posting my thoughts on MSOE after their first game just like I hope you post your thoughts on your team after they play their first game because I probably wouldnt have a chance to watch every game and would appreciate your insight on your team so I could become just alittle more knowledgeable.

That may be what the UWW/Marian game will be like tonight...I think they play.

Just the opposite, OS. Final score: UW-Whitewater 74, Marian 70. This one was a true nailbiter; Marian had a four-point lead going into the last quarter of the game, and the Sabres were within a trey of tying it with under twenty seconds left. Unlike the Illinois Wesleyan game, this time the Warhawks made their FTs at the end of the game (5-6 in the last half-minute) to secure the win.

Downtown,
Stop giving us a 12 page update on MSOE. For starters, they are not even currently in this league. And most importantly, they cost the conference its automatic birth to the NCAA tournament.

I don't know that that's the case. The conference seems to have enough pieces for one conference to have absorbed the other and keep its automatic bid. No need to blame MSOE.

Actually, I went to the game.  I posted what's below on the WIAC page and then posted a quick note on this board.  For some reason it didn't post...maybe I just previewed it and never posted it.  You weren't at the game, were you? 

I was very surprised about the result.   

Whitewater struggles through another win tonight in Fond du Lac.  I was able to drive the 40 minutes to see Marian more than hold their own against the Warhawks.  Whitewater held a slim 35-34 lead at the break and never took control of the game like I thought they would.  I'm not sure if Whitewater has a hard time getting up for games against so-called lesser opponents, but Marian was not afraid of them.

Once again, defense, or lack thereof, hurt Whitewater.  They had a hard time rotating and helping out on defense and didn't communicate well on offense.  There were plenty of times when Marian would come and double from behind and no Whitewater player told the ball handler and would be stripped of the ball.

Rob Perry was a force and I'm not sure why he doesn't start.  I noticed that Craig Anderson barely made it off the bench after starting, so I think Perry will see the majority of those minutes.  Gio Riley came through with some clutch shots and defense.  Freund looked lackluster as did all of the big men on Whitewater, seemingly always getting outrebounded and outhustled.

No, I wasn't there. I read this room before I got to the WIAC room last night, which is why I didn't realize that you had posted about UWW @ Marian elsewhere.

So I came up a little off on my prediction. But hey thats life, anyway I am looking forward to CUC vs CUW tommorrow. I love when we play each other always a good game. I am takeing CUC to win this hard fought game. But score...non to report.

I have it first hand that MSOE's decision to pull out of the merger at a late date, cost the NAC the AQ. Their failure to field a women's team in 2000 or 2001 also cost women's soccer an Automatic bid to the tournament. A Lakeland team team that had won 15 games failed to  make the tournament that year. There are still hard feelings over that. . .I wonder how long this latest mess up will be held against them.

[Tiger Woods]

libero is 100% correct.  MSOE has once again cost this conference their automatic bid.  I'm surprised more of you didn't already know that.

[LU_nut]

but the conference was nice enough to let them back in after the MWC said no thanks....right???
