That Rockford win was a shocker.

[AppletonRocks]

Well, Rockford scored more points than Concordia.   

[Greek Tragedy]

Apparently they play games outside now as the Finlandia visit to Lakeland was postponed because it's too cold out.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Apparently they play games outside now as the Finlandia visit to Lakeland was postponed because it's too cold out.

Finlandia couldn't find a bus that would start?  Or maybe the pipes froze in Lakeland's arena?  Even indoor events can be affected by weather - every season bball games get postponed (or canceled) because the visiting team didn't think they could safely travel.

[Greek Tragedy]

That was sarcasm, Ypsi. In all likelihood, Lakeland canceled classes and all activities, I know this from experience. Lakeland is in a bunch of cornfields out in the middle of nowhere. Some of the roads can be tough to get out there, but in today's case, it was the windchill.

Wish it was so funny.  They found a missing student dead on campus in a pond and I believe that this was the reason. Not a great week at Lakeland.

Yeah, I just read that this evening. Very sad news.

[Ryan Stoppable]

I think on Wednesday, they had a blizzard warning in upper Michigan.

But I do remember a game in Rockford a couple years ago where they said it was like 40 degrees in the gym and all the fans were in winter jackets and covered in blankets...

[Ryan Stoppable]

One thing I just noticed as I looked at the standings: Dominican has won 5 of their last 6 after only picking up 11 wins combined the last three years. Good for them.

[Gregory Sager]

Mayberry and Robertson have always been a solid combo for the Stars, but now Mark White has some decent role players to complement them.

[AndOne]

Benedictine visits Dominican tonight so we'll get a chance to see if they can stop the Benes, or if the NACC is still basically a one team conference with everyone else fighting for 2nd at best.

The determination of whether the NACC is a one team conference isn't going to be determined tonight.

[Greek Tragedy]

Might eat some crow. Benedictine up 2 with 7 to play.

[Ryan Stoppable]

While Benedictine is still unbeaten in conference play, they haven't been as dominant as they were a year ago - last year they were barely even challenged in the NACC.

Also, what's going on with Concordia Wisconsin? They started 5-1 but now haven't won in over a month.
