WBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

So does the WIAC get to in? Does the loser of this game make the tournament? Loser will have 8 losses. Lots of losses in the central region. But with the expansion does the coveted, yet a bit weaker this year WIAC get two in? I'm sure there will be some 10, 11, 12 loss teams in. WIAC has proven it can usually get to the final four. Any thoughts?

shoot,

There won't be any 10, 11 and 12 loss Pool C teams in. There may be some in Pool A or possibly Pool B, but that has no relevance to the Pool C argument.

I think without any teams in the Regional Rankings, the WIAC is destined to have just Saturday's winner in the NCAAs.

You never know......the WIAC could even get zero teams in.....

I thought WIAC tournament winner got an automatic bid. Is that not true? WIAC rep might not make it out of the regional NCAA, but it would have to get at least to the first round, wouldn't it? Only a WIAC team can win the WIAC tournament, so how does a WIAC team not get a toe, at least, in the door?

I think he was kidding.

Oh, man. I thought for a while there was some kind of rule that said some arbiter could just toss a team based on--it's posters to the D3 Hoops boards, or something.

LaCrosse men come within .4-second of giving Stout a double-header Saturday night. Women stay home and Stout men hit the road.

Never put anything past the NCAA....

Does anyone know if the Stout womens game will be audio webcast on Saturday? I assume the regular crew will travel down to Whitewater with the men.

I've heard the rumor twice now--once on the radio, if that can be considered a rumor--that WIAC championship games would be carried on FSN. Is that true? If so, will game(s) be live or tape delayed? If tape-delayed, when will they be broadcast? Right now, it looks as though the men's game will miss out to a high school game (on the FSN schedule).

I'm also curious as to how the WMEQ station plans to address the men's/women's games situation.

Jack Bennett told me last Sat. that he would be doing the FSN broadcast of the men's championship game. He said it would be tape delayed. I don't know the status of the women's game. WMEQ is sending Jake and me to WW and my other radio partner, Jason Kenyon, will be doing the women's game. If you go to the women's game, introduce yourself to Jason as the Superior person who listens to the radio show on Sat.'s and maybe offer him a key to the city or something!

foul_language · February 24, 2006, 03:02:32 PM

Jason would be the one casting apersions on our fine city? Or was it the campus? Now I can't even remember. I'll have to go back and look at the posts.

We don't need no stickin' keys up here; we get by with shovels. And hairspray.

foul_language · February 24, 2006, 03:36:12 PM

stinkin' not stickin'. Fridays are not always the best days for paying attention.

Just Bill · February 24, 2006, 04:09:58 PM

The game preview posted on the UWSP website says the women's championship will be broadcast on FSN on a tape delay basis sometime in March.

Jason would be the host of WWSS casting aspersions on your fine city.

Give him the hairspray and shovel to the city. He'll like that.
