"If you want to crown their ass, then crown them!" - Denny Green

I'm not ready to crown Eau Claire either, but I don't think anyone doubted they would be a contender.  (They were picked 3rd after all.)

[crazy4hoops]

whoa whoa whoa.....crowning titles already one game in.....i agree with the talk.....we all know why we aren't supposed to ASSume things....

EC wins....yes a big game but lets get serious....it is one game and they have struggled on the road in teh past....we all knew stout would lose games and so will EC...does it help to have a point guard to lead the show...heck yeah....would I call her the "best in the league" NO and neither would anyone else if they saw a few others PG's play....bottom line....EC is a long ways from any sort of title....are they one step in the right direction yet...but it is a long season

lets get picking for the weekend.....

EC at LAX- LAX by 8....EC comes in too confident and LAX is ready to prove themselves in this conference and they finally have the players to do so

SUP @ OSH- OSH by 15....after losing by a large amount to Point OSH has made changes and will be ready to go

Stout @ Platteville- Stout is very unlikely to go 2 losses in a row....deep down yes I would like to see UWP pull off the upset but...I see Stout by 10

Point @ RF- Point by 10....it will be a battle but Point will come out on top even though they have struggled there in the past

[RugbyPlayer]

SUP @ OSH - OSH by 35 or 40 (Superfan goes wild)

CANADA @ IOWA - STOUT by 22

SP @ RF - SP by 16 (The crowd of 6 on hand riots over a JJ Jumper T-Shirt give-away)

And my upset special pick:

EC @ LAX - EC by 15

[wiac482002]

Oshkosh gets a big win and a confidence booster beating Superior by 15 plus....by the way JJ Jumper is at Oshkosh this weekend FYI

EC over LAX for a big road win (they won there last year also), close game, EC by 8

Stout will win to get back to their winning ways

Point will beat up again on RF.....20 or more

[Just Bill]

OSH over SUP by 20

LAX nips EC by 3

STOUT over PLT by 18

SP tops RF by 15

Hilarious

would I call her the "best in the league" NO and neither would anyone else if they saw a few others PG's play

I have seen them all ... except her and Weber, haven't seen her since high school. But from what some people are telling me she's better than the rest. I guess that's an interesting debate; where would they rank being a vital position on your team. Is Weber playing the point for Point?

by the way JJ Jumper is at Oshkosh this weekend FYI

I think he's been there everytime I've ever been to an Oshkosh game.

My picks-
Oshy over Superior by 17
River over Point by 4
Stout over Platteville by 11 (Even though UWP beat them at Stout last year)
and ...
absolutely no idea who to pick at La Crosse.  They have split the past three years; last year each won on the other's home court. The previous two years, the home teams won. I think they're going to split again this year; just don't know who wins first. The majority of these have been close as well (although if I remember right last year's were a little more spread out.

Since we're not keeping track of picks, I say. TIE, can't get off the fence. Gun to my head, La Crosse by 1.

I'm telling ya, he lives at the Kolf!

Oshkosh cracks Superior by 22. Super stayed kind of in range around 12-14 point lead most of the way. Biggest lead at the buzzer.

River Falls over Point by 2 at the half.
La Crosse by 7 over EC with 16:00 left.
Can't get anything from Platteville, their network for live stats is down.

[EagleAlum]

La Crosse 68
Eau Claire 51

River Falls 67
Stevens Point 60

Don't crown anybody yet.

Maybe Ashley Wagner read the "best point guard in the league conversation"

She goes off for 17 points 5 rebounds and 4 assists while Fremstad goes 0-for-8  with 2 reb and 4 assists. 1 point.

Zenner leads EC with 11 and 11 rebounds.

La Crosse has three others in double figures. Looks like some foul trouble for EC. Burns had four early in the 2nd half, I see she fouled out and finished with just 6. Hopefully someone who was there can give a little better idea of how things played out.

Lax defeats EC 68-51.  I started listening half way through the 1st half.  At that time Burns, Hakanson, and Voelker (the top 3 posts) all had 2 fouls and didn't play the remainder of the half.  Very poor shooting by EC (30%), which has just been too common on the road the last couple of years.  A good performance by Lax's Wagner. 

I don't think anyone is crowning anyone yet.  I think one poster just mentioned that EC (after the Stout win) was a major contender for the title race.

On the best point guard issue: While I am an EC fan, I am not going to say Fremstad is the best point guard after a few games.  She definately has one of the best floor games, but I think she can improve her scoring offense.

[EagleAlum]

Stout beats Platteville by 16. 83 points at Platteville (or for that matter, anywhere) is a ton. Platteville tries to play the 60-58 games, not today. Stout around 60 with 10:00 to go.

Wednesday night ... big game at E.C. with River Falls coming to town.
Interesting one in Whitewater as well with Point coming in. Whitewater beat them at home last year.

Platteville goes to LaX. Oshkosh has the bye, Stout has the other one (sorry Superior)

Never a dull moment in the WIAC, as Point loses today, too.

Inside the numbers, UWL 68, UWEC 51...

Ashley Wagner must have been pi**** about the point guard talk here!  ;)Ha. But she tied a career high with her 17 points. MacKenzie Hunter adds 14 and Abby Johnson pitches in 10. Katy Searing pulled down 10 boards. Blugolds' Amanda Zenner has a double-double, with 11 points and 11 boards.

Had you told me the 'Golds would have outrebounded LaX (44-34) and had 25 more shots taken, I'd have thought UWEC might have won. LaX hit 22-of 28 free throws, however, vs. 7 of 9 for EC.

Biggest factor was perhaps that in all those shots the 'Golds took, they didn't make them, at 21 of 69, for 30 percent. Since I wasn't there, I'm not sure how many of them were good looks that didn't fall, or how much the Eagles D played a factor in creating poor shots...

The Eagles, however, were 22-45 from the field, for nearly 49 percent...

Radio broadcasters in EC made Hunter the answer to the half-time trivia contest, as she's the one who got away from UWEC during the recruiting process. (Of course, as the theme of the day, they also reminded us Joe Werner got away, too. Ouch. Ha.)

Hunter'd look good in blue and gold, that's for sure... But I'm sure she's having fun, playing a role in turning around an Eagles' program that has struggled and is now winning...

UWP vs UW Stout update: UWS was up to their usual good play. If they would have shot fro the outside they would have got 100. We were too young and inexperienced, but the future is bright. 40 is one of the best players in the Country, what a pleasure to watch. Teams can beat Stout, but they must not turn the ball over and slow them down, As usual, they are not overpowering in the half court. God Bless!
