MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[WLCALUM83]

Final:  Edgewood 73, Dominican 62. (Haiduc held to 2 field goals the entire game. DeMarco and Averkamp both scored more than 20 points. The Stars took the lead briefly, but then had several turnovers and missed shots. The Eagles built up a 14-pt lead, the Stars cut that down to 5, but Edgewood hit their free throws down the stretch to seal the game up.

It's Edgewood vs. Aurora in the final.

2/24 Projection:

Aurora over Edgewood (only because the Spartans are at home.) This one's definitely too close to call.

Definitely nothing wrong with the way Lakeland played in that game. Outrebounding the Spartans and turning the ball over 10 times in the game. Outrebounding Aurora alone is quite a feat. Looks like it was just a matter of going cold in the second half and the Spartans getting hot. Must've been a crazy good game and I'm sorry I missed it.

old school i asked you in november what you thought of au you did not know to much then . now that the season is over what do you think .

Oh, not sure if you saw my post when they lost to WLC.  I went down to the game to see them because a lot of posters in the Top 25 board wanted to know if they were as good as their record...That specific game didn't show it.  But, Mr. Gregory Sager saw them play down in Dominican and was impressed with them.

I had a long-winded post about the WLC/Aurora game.  It was obviously flawed since I only saw them once.  Check back a few pages.  Otherwise, I hope to see them in the tourney if time and distance permits! lol

Aurora's in as a Pool B, as expected.

So how good is Calvin? I think AU played them in the NCAA's a few years ago, and it was a tight game..

Aurora got up by as many as 15, ended up losing by 12.  Depends on how you want to define a tight game.
