WARHAWKS WARHAWKS WARHAWKS

This would be a big win for the lady WARHAWKS[/color] but they'll have to shoot much better than against River Falls.

...or hold Oshkosh to four points. Defense, defense, defense. I don't care how Warhawks do it, just do it.

The Oshkosh-Whitewater game is NOT broadcast anywhere? Can that be right? Not even live stats?

I may have to revoke two WARHAWKs

UWEC wins over Superior in a UGLY game.  Both teams played poor offensively.  EC did play good pressure defense and only gave up 14 points for the first 23min of the game.  Good games by EC freshmen Arc., Brit Hakanson and Witt.  EC will have to play better if they want to win on Saturday and in the conference tournament.  Hopefully Burns will be back on Saturday!

foul-

UWO wins 80-69 or something like that.

UWO goes 11-13 from the 3-point line.  WOW!!!

OKeef 7-9 on 3s
Knapp 8-10 from the field

buf sums up the UWEC-Superior game... 58 turnovers in the game...38 for Superior...Molly Ray had a nice game for the Yellowjackets, with 16, including 4 of 5 threes...

Hats off to Superior, though. Man, it's got to be tough under the circumstances they find themselves in at the end of the year, at 0-15 in WIAC play... They suited up nine tonight, but still battled... D3 = playing for the love of the game...

Hats off to UWL, too, for clinching a home WIAC playoff game. First time ever for them... But they may get the Blugolds, depending on how things play out this weekend...

Stat of the night =
In the UWEC Blugolds' 64-43 win over Superior, two Blugold freshmen score their first two collegiate points tonight - Pam Kaye and Stephanie Becker, sister of Rachel...

Agreed hats off to the Eagles. They played some of the best defense I've seen at Mitchell Hall tonight. The first half 3-for-19 by RF had more to do with defense then cold shooting. Mackenzie Hunter is becoming a big time scorer in this league. Clutch.

I think though, after quickly reviewing the season (I'm sure downtown will update us) that River Falls will be back at Mitchell next week. If EC wins they'll tie with River who they split with. Tiebreaker two is record against teams above. I think they are both 2-6 against the teams above. River beat Oshkosh and La Crosse, EC beat Point and La Crosse. Tiebreaker 3 is record against order of finish. River's win over Oshy is the kicker. If Oshkosh and Point finish tied (meaning Oshkosh loses), they both split with Stout so it goes to La Crosse who Oshkosh swept, SP lost one.

So I believe the locks are Point at #3, La Crosse at #4, River Falls at #5, Eau Claire at #6. Eau Claire at Point means it will be the first time since 2001 that the "Big Four" are not the "Final Four" of the conference tournament. Four straight tournaments. Pretty good run. If Platteville and Whitewater remain tied when it's said and done, Platteville gets 7 with the win over Oshkosh (how much parity is there when the number seven beats the #1 and #2?).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I don't mean to steal the Downtown's thunder but I just had a bunch of wings downtown so I'm fired up. It'll be interesting to see what happens Monday. River Falls has a bye this weekend. With La Crosse set at four but a conference championship on the line for their opponent, do they rest some? Their starters seem to play a lot of minutes normally.

OKeef 7-9 on 3s
Knapp 8-10 from the field

OKeef was unbelieveable.  All the WARHAWKS,WARHAWKS,WARHAWKS[/color] in the world couldn't have overcome her last night.   With the exception of the two she missed I don't  think any of her three-pointers even touched the rim.  She was nothing but net all night.  I put the three points on the scoreboard as soon as the ball left her hand.  It was the best outside side shooting I've ever seen by a WIAC woman player.  We thought she might have set a new record but it turns out the old one is eight.  Obviously Knapp played pretty well too but it was OKeefe that made you roll your eyes if you were a WHITEWATER[/color] fan.

The WARHAWKS[/color], as was the case against River Falls, were simply buried by the Titan onslaught which saw them shoot 61% from the floor for the game.  It started  early on and this time we could never get closer than seven points the rest of the way.  Oshkosh looked really sharp both offensively and defensively.   Amy Morris scored 20 points in her final home game as a WARHAWK[/color].  Lindsey Buechner had a 16 point, 10 rebound double-double.

WARHAWKS[/color] need to get a tough road win at Eau Claire and build some momentum going into the conference tournament.  They could finish anywhere from the sixth seed to the eighth and need the win to conclude the regular season over .500 though 7-9 is the best they can go in conference play.

Thanks BW. I relooked at the standings and forgot WW could still catch EC. And if they did beat them they could move to 6 with the sweep. So if appears only 3, 4, and 5 are set.

Stoutguy & BDB -

Either of you making the trek to LaX? I believe Rico, Mrs. Rico and the Rico-ette's will be piling in the Trailblazer and heading south tomorrow to take in some great hoops action.  Hopefully, we'll meet you guys at Crazy Dave's!

[Rico 21]

One more thing BDB...

Rumor has it Stoutguy has been spending a little money this week.  Let me see, since the meal is included with the game tickets I assume he'll be offering to pick up the tab one more time this week...


     ...I'd hate for you to miss it!

[stoutguy]

Stoutguy will be on team bus on Sat. and we are stopping at "Cazy Dave's" so we will look forward to seeing all the Rico's there.  Sorry about the money thing, though.  You just missed on my spending outburst.  It just happended that one time in RF.  My advice:  Stop at your bank and just grab a handfull for the "Crazy Daves" party.
