MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[WLCALUM83]

WLC knocked off Concordia-Chicago by 11 last night--per Warrior 2nd half radio account, CUC's bench got T'd up, and a Warrior steal and some late threes sealed the win.

Warriors' next 2 games figure to be tough--Aurora and Edgewood back to back.

Something's gotta give in this conference race sooner or later. . .

Some recruiting odds and ends:

The three-guard, up-tempo style favored by Lakeland College coach Kyle Brumett has landed the Muskies' program a couple of highly regarded high school basketball players from the state.

Suring senior Josh Regal and Bowler senior Derrick Nillissen recently gave Brumett verbal commitments to play for the Muskies, members of the NCAA Division III Northern Athletics Conference.

But Bloom is flourishing, averaging 17 points per game and lifting his GPA to 3.2. MSOE, Carroll College and UW-River Falls have taken interest in Bloom, a kid with a fitting name.

Did i miss the story about Larry Welton hitting 2000 points or dose this site not care about you if you are not in the top 25 (UW- Oshkosh 14-6) or the 19-0 team that just can not make no1. Please let me know if i am wrong for saying this.

Welton's milestone wasn't cited on this board--our bad.

I assume you mean the NAC Tournament championship because the regular season title is all but locked up by Aurora.

I certainly wouldn't want to be the team that has to play MSOE in the first game of the NAC Tourney.

2/08 Men's NAthCon Finals:

Marian 85, Aurora 78 (Sabers committed only 8 turnovers, went 17-21 on FT's in the last 3:45 and led by as much as 13 in second half. Though the Spartans reduced that deficit to 4, they got no closer, per Marian press release).

MSOE 62, Concordia-Chicago 50 (A 21-9 Raider scoring run was the difference here, per MSOE press release, which also indicates Murphy and Off came up big on O again.)

Benedictine 78, Maranatha 51 (IL Eagles never trailed, per Crusader press release).

Concordia-WI 97, Rockford 74 (Falcons shot 53% from the floor, per Rockford box score).

WLC 105, Edgewood 86 (Warriors hit 14 shots from beyond the arc, out-rebound the WI Eagles and had 5 players score in double figures, per Edgewood press release.)

Lakeland 70, Dominican 57 (Saiberlich-19 pts and Worth 21, per Muskie press release).

I certainly wouldn't want to be the team that has to play MSOE in the first game of the NAC Tourney.

Aurora's remaining schedule:

2/12 vs. Concordia-Chicago at home

2/14 vs. WLC at home (make-up of postponed game)

2/16 vs. Concordia-WI (on the road)

2/18 vs. Lakeland at home


MSOE's remaining schedule:

2/12 vs. Concordia-WI on the road

2/16 vs. WLC on the road

2/23 vs. Dominican on the road


(Though this poster wouldn't expect Aurora to stumble at home again, this poster wouldn't be surprised if it did come down to either Lakeland or Dominican having something to play for on the last day of the regular season.)

Marian's remaining schedule:

2/12 at Edgewood, 2/14 at Concordia-WI, 2/16 at Dominican, 2/20 Edgewood at home, 2/23 at Benedictine.

Don't count the Sabers out just yet.

The only way MSOE can win conference is if MSOE wins out, Marian drops both Edgewood games, and Aurora collapses and loses to CUW, WLC, and Lakeland in which case there would possibly be a 5 way tie for the championship at 13-5 between MSOE, WLC, Edgewood, Marian, and Aurora. Stranger things have happened but the likelyhood of this scenario playing out is somewhere less than a 1:1000 odds.

You must've missed it, because we certainly ran it.

Is this the MWC page, Pat?

Concordia (WI) gonna have a say in the conference championship, not because they are in contention, but because they play host to MSOE, Aurora, Marian and travel to WLC...the top four teams in the conference.

Aurora 12-2 
Marian 10-3
Wisconsin Lutheran 9-4
Milwaukee Engineering 10-5

Not sure what the cut-off is, but I was wondering if anyone besides Aurora would make a Pool B bid in the NCAAs, and of course, that's not a given.
