MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[lmcfan33]

12/12 Final:  CU-Chicago 63, Maranatha 43. (CUC wins on the road and gets off the schneid in-conference). 

This was a closer game than it looks...Maranatha cut the lead to two points in the second half. They shot themselves in the foot with deep foul trouble.

    (hope MBBC has a high fan turnout Friday night --it might be one of the few in-conference wins the Crusader men get all season.)

Forget just this season--A win would be the first in-conference victory for the Crusader men in 3 years!

In this era of acronyms, I can see why the WIAC changed from W-SUC!

Since the CCIW has only one school not in Illinois, I lobbied for CCIIIIIIIW, but I seem to have been voted down (or, more likely, just ignored!)

You could always become the WWWWWWWW(W)IIAC conference!

Since Carthage's student population tends to run as high as 2/3rds Illinoisians, a lot of people might say that the 'W' in CCIW is slightly misleading.

     Watch out if the Regents are hitting their 3's.

Unfortunately for the 'Saders, the fall semester ends this week. 99% of the kids will be heading home before this match. I will be in attendance, however. Maybe I'll break out he facepaint and cape to cheer on the boys in Super Fan style.

I am not going to predict a win on Friday night, but I will guarantee that MBBC will get a conference win during the 06-07 season.

 I'm really not informed on a lot of D3 things but,aren't the Wisconsin schools connected with University of Wisconsin, example:University of Wisconsin ,Stevens Point ? If they are what would be the difference between the Wisconsin schools and Northern Illinois University, Rockford

Nothing. . .

Except one is a real school and one is a hypothetical.

12/15-16/ projections:

Maranatha over Rockford  (if the Regents are hitting their 3's, look out!)

WLC over Concordia, WI  (if the Warriors are hitting their 3's, at least being even in rebound battle and can avoid too many scoring droughts, their chances are good.)

Aurora over Edgewood

Lakeland over Benedictine.

MBBC over Rockford - thanks for the love WLCALUM; I hope you are right
WLC over ConcW - I'll agree here, I'm not too impressed w/ the Mequon Lutherans after their loss to Grace Bible
Aurora over Edgewood - picking against AU right now is a big mistake
Benedictine over Lakeland - I think Lakeland is not going to have a good year.

The battle for the basement has been all it was billed to be

Rockford 33 Maranatha 31 at the half

Ted Anderson getting the Saders out early with three threes
Rockford came back by picking up the tempo of play

Final Rockford 67  Maranatha 56

Rockford was only up by 3 with four min. left to go, but Natha could not make a shot at the end of the game

Side Note: Rockford's Coach, Fans, and Players (#22 the most) have the worst sportsmanship in the conference. The cheep shots that their guys gave could have easily caused injury. The language to the refers should be unacceptable. I was disappointed with the college; maybe it is a good thing that the school might not last that much longer.

Rockford's school may not last much longer?

NAC Final:  Edgewood 68, #23 Aurora 65.

Averkamp and DeMarco came up big scoring wise. Aurora's Welton held well below his normal scoring avg per Edgewood announcers.

Fahey hit several clutch FT's late.

12/16 Final:  Benedictine 74, Lakeland 66 (per Benedictine's web site).

     Concordia, WI/WLC men's final yet to come in.

[WLCALUM83]

12/16 final:  WLC 94, Concordia, WI 90. 

Whew!  WLC wins another one they very well could have lost-- at home.

This was a back and forth affair. CUW's Atkinson had a big game scoring wise. WLC, despite shooting only 5-14 FT's in 1st half, barely escapes with a win. WLC's Sorum had a big night scoring wise (25 points), the Warriors came up with several clutch defensive stops, Lindbergh and Hagel hit some big hoops down the stretch, and after the Falcons were forced to foul late, WLC hit 3 of 4 FT's at the end.
