MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Just Bill]

Edgewood leads UW-Superior 36-22 at halftime. Wisniewski, Craig and Janusek have 7 each for the Eagles. Hjelter has 8 for the Jackets. EC has just 2 turnovers.

EDIT: Edgewood holds on for a 73-67 win. UWS came all the way back and tied it, but couldn't get over the hump.

Michael Janusek hit a buzzer beater to lift Edgewood over Viterbo yesterday...

The new top 25 rankings just came out. Has there ever been a time where two NAC teams were receiving votes? Both Edgewood and Concordia Wisconsin are up there. These 2 teams may single handedly put the NAC on the map this year. Any other thoughts to how the season has started off and also predictions to tonights opening conference games?

Here are my picks for tonight's games: (Winner in BOLD)

Lakeland at Maranatha
Dominican at Concordia Chicago
Rockford at Aurora
MSOE at Benedictine
Concordia Wisconsin at Wisconsin Lutheran

Marian at Edgewood Wed 11/30

I wouldve picked CUW over CUC in this last weekend's game. So I am going to put my NAC Pick'Em Record at 1-0. Feel free to leave your picks and I will update a bracket.

[WLCALUM83]

I'll go with:

Maranatha
CUC
Aurora
Benedictine
CUW

11/30  Edgewood

With Edgewood knocking off Marian at home tonight, i was able to go to 7-0 on the year with NAC Pick 'em.
WLCALUM83...you were 5-1 with your only loss being Maranatha as they gave up over 100 pts. to Lakeland in a loss.

Anyone know why Nate Green hasn't played in the last 2 games for Benedictine?

[BadgerFan42]

Suspended because he assaulted a campus police officer after being told to dump out his supicious beverage in a red 'party' cup....

There is an article in the Benedictine school newspaper about it

Sounds like it was not his first 'suspicious beverage' of the day!

Seems like Benedictine could be a pretty good team after being able to win its last 2 games playing without its best player who was suspended and it appears, might be dismissed from school according to the school newspaper.

[BadgerFan42]

I heard from a credible source that his 'indefinite' suspension was really only a 3 game suspension, so if the source was right, look for Nate Green to be back this week

Edgewood all over Lakeland tonight on the road. EC wins 86-68. Faurote had 26 including 21 in the first half. Eagles shot 56 percent from the field and moved to 8-0. Schwarz and Regal each had 13 for LC.

Is Edgewood going to crack the Top 25 this week? Will be fun if both EC and UWSP are ranked next Sunday.

I have a feeling that EC has a better chance to be ranked than UWSP...

By just a scant 3 poll points, UWSP remains ranked at #25 with 63 poll points.  Edgewood is tied for the top "Others receiving votes" getter with 60, tied with Wash U (who has, in two recent games, beaten then-#1 Augustana and then-#17 Wheaton) and Wittenberg (who, in a recent game, beat then-#5 Wooster).

Could this game coming up be Edgewood's signature win?

[Pat Coleman]

I suspect our voters are waiting for that same answer themselves. They know who is up in the next week on a team's schedule and I've definitely seen it happen (and voted that way myself) in the past.
