That's hilarious. Thank you for the information. I'd better watch myself, lest I be smited. Can you have negative karma?

badgerwarhawk · January 10, 2006, 01:07:30 PM

Ask T2K about negative karma.

foul_language · January 10, 2006, 01:26:28 PM

Negative triple figures. That's laugh-out-loud hilarious.

It's awfully quiet. Some classic matchups tonight--well, what wouldn't be in the WIAC this year?--and I'm wondering if LaCrosse will recover after it's misstep last week to beat Oshkosh; if Eau Claire will take Stevens Point down a notch after Saturday's heady win; if Stout will regain its composure to get a rare win in River Falls. I'd love to see LaCrosse get about eight more wins before it's next loss.

In times of instant gratification, waiting until tomorrow's news is too long.

EC vs. Point
It will be interesting to see who is able to play for EC tonight. They will probably need all their horses if they want to beat Point. I feel Point has underachived a bit so far this year, by looking at their results. However, their last two results (scores) have looked very impressive. So, I think they are finding their stride. They certainly have a lot of good players on the roster.

UWO vs. Lax
Whoever wins this, will have a bit of a heads up on conference. I think I will give a slight edge to UWL since they are playing at home. On the other hand, if UWO wins, that would make two big road wins in their current 3-game road trip, in which they did a lot of traveling around the state.

UWEC 67, Pointers 63

Blugolds attacked the middle on the Pointers and get a solid games inside from post players Liz Van Drasek, Ashley Anderson and Brittanni Hakanson, who lead the team in rebounds with nine and points with 18.

How fitting Hakanson was the one to hit the free throw with three seconds left to ice the game for the 'Golds. She had a whale of a game!

Blugolds pressed the majority of the night, too, which created enough turnovers to keep them around all night. The only two 3s they hit were in the first half, which allowed them to keep things close, too. Got into the bonus early in the second half, which really helped, since the FGs were even...

The 'Golds have been slowly putting things together, and tonight all that hard worked paid off in a nice win. They had a complete game on both ends, and didn't seem intimidated to be playing one of the top teams in the conference... Nice to see nearly 1,200 fans turn out, too, after Coach Englund in the paper recognized the role and importance the fans play...

I think the Blugolds learned, too, that you don't turn your back on the Pointers' Cassandra Schultz. Don't know if their is anyone in this conference who has as quick a first step as she does... Becky Pepper had a nice game, too, with her hustle, boarding and six points for UWSP. Natalie Lechault had one of the better games I've seen her play, too, scoring a team leading 18.

So, things tighten up again in the standings...

Umm...

I think we know where La Crosse is when it comes to the best teams in the conference.

I don't know about you guys, but when it comes to the All-WIAC team consideration...I know Eggers and Herrick are shoe-ins...but what about Kelly O'Keef? The most deadly 3 point shooter in the WIAC, is finding herself scoring a bunch of points for Oshkosh this year? If I got to vote, I would have to say right now 3 of Oshkosh's starting 5 would be on my 1st team All-WIAC.

So have you got the three best women players in the league too, Downtown?

foul_language · January 12, 2006, 12:23:52 PM

While I'll never be quite as dazzled by Oshkosh as Mr. D, I am a little surprised that they're doing as well as they are. By most accounts, they are only five deep, they just went through a shake-up losing a coach, the new coach should be at the bottomoof a learning curve coming from high school to college level play. None of that seems to be knocking them off track. Maybe that's what pisses me off most about them.

Can I say 'pisses'?

Voice of the Titans · January 12, 2006, 01:25:32 PM

Kluch-

Was there still time on the clock when the Emory bench came running onto the court, or was it a situation where they put :00.3 on the clock after the fact?

And while UWO may not be deep (just look at the minutes played by the starting 5 at LX), I can say first-hand that the new coach should not be a factor. She knows her stuff and is doing a great job. Look at the fact that they have 2 1-point losses, and another by 5 and they could easily be 13-2 or 14-1 right now.
