We have to very good teams followed by 2 good teams, and 2 okay teams and the rest....woof. Just a lot of struggles right now outside of the top 3 or 4.

Marian should stay in the chase for now but I can't see them being much of a threat to WLC and St. Norbert.

I can see the Green Knights maybe getting a few votes in the next poll but that is a 50/50 venture at best. Still a strong non-con performance for them and from WLC.

WLC goes undefeated in non-conference (and 4-0 against the CCIW) for the first time in program history with a 68-54 win over Augustana (IL) this afternoon.

Figured this was a bit more of a difficult matchup for the Green Knights than expected. Calvin picked up their play since a 1-5 start.

Nice work, Captain. You saved me the work. Interesting that all 13 teams were in action yesterday.

WLC and Marion are doing some incredible heavy lifting to bring the conference up to near .500 in non-conference play.

Well to be fair, Marian's non-con was very light compared to WLC's. That difference was apparent on Saturday.

WLC jumps to #11 in the latest poll.

#11 Wisconsin Lutheran 72
St. Norbert 60

Final

Both teams traded the lead for the early part of the first half then the Warriors used a 12-0 run to take the lead for good. Green Knights only got as close as 6 at half after that.

1/11 Matchups

Rockford at St. Norbert (Green Knights look to stop a three game slide against a solid Regents team)

Illinois Tech at #11 Wisconsin Lutheran (Warriors look for revenge after the Scarlet Hawks upset them in Chicago last month)

Benedictine at Concordia Wisconsin (Falcons are getting hot as of late while Benedictine has lost three of four)

Concordia Chicago at Lakeland (Cougs have lost four of five and can't afford to slip up against a struggling Muskies outfit)

Edgewood at MSOE (Raiders have started to find their stride as the calendar year turned into 2025 while the Eagles look to keep themselves in the conference tournament chase)

Marian at Aurora (Marian is in a precarious spot. They dropped two straight after that 11-0 start. Are they coming back down to earth or can they stem the tide on the road against a Spartans team that is never an easy out)

[Greek Tragedy]

Great stuff, Captain!
