MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Gregory Sager]

I heard tonight that Concordia (IL) is forfeiting at least one early-season game due to the use of an ineligible player. Confirm? Deny?

Thanks, Pat.

Yep, Mr. No Player was an instrumental part of CUC's win over North Park in the season opener, which is why the NPU SID told me that NPU is now apparently going to be the winner of that game by a score of 2-0. Doesn't make me feel any better, since the game was lost on the court against an opponent that the Vikings should've beaten, ineligible player or not.

Of course, if you're a Cougars fan the victory-turned-loss against Lakeland is a lot more serious than any non-conference forfeit.

It hurts my feelings when Greg doesn't read my posts. *sniff*

CUC has to forfeit a NathCon win against Lakeland, and likely more non-conference games for use of an ineligible player.

The release sounds to me like this is the only NathCon game affected.  Other non-conference teams that CUC has beat that could possibly be affected: North Park, Coe, Blackburn, Eureka, Pomona-Pitzer.

Sorry, Bill. The way the NPU SID made it sound last night, it seemed like some sort of fresh news flash hot off the press. The NAthCon room is usually a continuous string of score updates (not that there's anything wrong with that), so I don't always check it as carefully as I should. I ought to have checked around to see if the CUC forfeit story had been announced somewhere earlier, including in this room. My bad.

I'm sure my broken heart will mend.... someday.

WLCALUM83's latest vow:

"I, WLCALUM83, being of sound mind and body, and in the presence of Just Bill and anyone else who may prowl/post on this board over the next 3 hours or so (should tonight's game have a boatload of OT's) -do solemnly swear that I will not become overly emotionally involved in tonight's contest."

(Given that Maranatha follower libero is a friend of mine and the Warrior women have already clinched, that shouldn't be much of a problem--  

[WLCALUM83]

WLC/Maranatha up shortly:

(Warner Bros. "This is it" playing, with all the characters dancing on stage") . . . followed by 

(opening trumpet solo and first two lines of Sade's "Soldier of Love". . . )

[WLCALUM83]

Maranatha 72, WLC 72, going to OT!

[WLCALUM83]

Approx 3 min left in OT, Crusaders up by 1  game delayed while slippery floor issues are (hopefully) alleviated--

[WLCALUM83]

Everyone ordered to clear MBBC-s gym for 30 minutes  now approx 2 3/4 min left in OT  Crusaders up 76-75 

[WLCALUM83]

Update on other score:

Benedictine 31, CUC 18  Half

[WLCALUM83]

WLC/Maranatha men's game suspended until tomorrow night-  women's game also to be rescheduled--

(This poster is reminded of the Royals/Yankees game in which the last 4 outs had to be replayed --if I recall correctly it was because of a disputed home run by George Brett-- Billy Martin was in on it too (no surprise there)

Yes, I realize I just dated myself, but so what?

[WLCALUM83]

CUC up by 1 on Benedictine  approx 10 1/2 min left 2nd half

Wow. It's pretty surreal that the visiting guys' team will drive all the way back tomorrow, go through a full warmup, and then play about 3 minutes! The suspense for both teams will be pretty high since they are playing for a playoff spot.
