CUC played without James Morgan.  No idea why or what his status is.

CUC played without James Morgan.  No idea why or what his status is.

Without Morgan, CUC has virtually no height. (They have one 6'4" guy and a couple of 6'3" players, none of whom you would consider inside players. Morgan recently scored his 1000th point of his career at CUC.

What heighth does MSOE have besides a 6'3'' Austin Meier?  I thoughts CUC would be the more talented "team"

CUW 84, MSOE 62  Final 

(Raiders had the deficit down to 9 but couldn't get over the hump--Falcons hit 11 3s for the game--MSOE stats)

CUW getting 8 votes in this week's Top 25 poll.

CUW has something good going on this year, could ride their momentum a long ways

Heard some interesting rumours surrounding the CUC mens basketball program this week, possible NCAA investigations and problems with the coaching staff, doesn't sound like anything good

Some interesting Games tonight:

Benedictine @ Dominican
CUC @ Aurora
Edgewood @ Maranatha-Maranatha upset edgewood last season
Rockford @ MSOE

Benedictine
Aurora
Maranatha(upset special!)
MSOE
 

[WLCALUM83]

I'm going with:

Benedictine
Aurora
Edgewood
MSOE

Benedictine 78, Dominican 75  Final

(IL Eagle's Licht buried a 3 to account for the winning margin-per Ben stats)

[Just Bill]

With CUW and EC both winning last night, we've set up a chance for CUW to virtually clinch (realistically, if not mathematically) the North Division.  With a CUW win over EC on Thursday they'd be two games ahead (and really three with the tiebreaker) of EC with just six conference games left.

IF EC wins then we'll have a fun little two team race to the wire. Either way it seems hard to believe anybody but CUW and EC will be hosting first round tournament games in the North.

[BadgerFan42]

If give Lakeland credit for the fight they put up last night at CUW, but Concordia did not play a complete ball game and still won by 15 I think.  With Maranatha almost upsetting EC last night I don't see Concordia losing on Thurs. 

Lakeland has some athletic young talent on the team, too bad Shwartz injured his knee, could have made for a more talented North division this year.

Irony is, the IL Eagles had gone 2-10 on 3's in the 2nd half before that heave--(sometimes you shoot better hurried, I guess--)
