Come to find out she left because of academic decisions.....transferring I heard?

Talked with some Titans...they scrimmaged Cardinal Stritch...got beat pretty badly, along with some Titan Alum and were beat again.  Knapp and another were sat most the entire scrimmage after Schumacher supposedly unloaded on them for their play.

Sounds as if UWO will not be able to replace Eggers, O'Keefe, Herrick, and Fehring....senior leadership is gone along with about 80% scoring....when your next person back averages under 10 a game you are not going to win many games.  I see them finishing 6th or 7th with Superior maybe gaining their first win on account of the Titans

that is too bad about Oshkosh but everyone has to come down sometime...I am sure they won't stay down too long...too much tradition....

looks like a lot of good games this weekend. quite a few in region games for many WIAC schools...Point/Lawrence, Stout/Benedictine, Oshkosh at Lake Forest Tourney....should bring for some interesting scores come Sunday morning...

any predictions on games???

Just Bill

My opening weekend predictions (please no wagering, especially with my track record):

EC loses to Baldwin-Wallace but beats Davenport
OSH beats Augustana and pulls out a close one over Lake Forest
PLT beats Ripon and Clarke, but SUP only beats Clarke
SP beats Lawrence and St. Scholastica
ST beats Benedictine and Carroll
WW loses to Wilmington but beats St. Mary's, Ind.
LC knocks off Winona St.

I would have to agree with those predictions, but I HOPE that EC wins tonight to set up a battle against HOPE tomorrow.

What a shot in the arm it would be to that Blugold squad if they could knock off two ranked teams on opening weekend.  Heck, even one win and a "good" loss against those two would be a confidence builder.

It looks like they won't get that shot.  Its BW 39 EC 18 early in the 2nd Half

EC made a run to cut it to 12 with 7min left but eventually falls 68-50.  Played a lot better in the 2nd half.  Got outrebouded 52-30.  Burns led the way with 21pts and 8rebs but no help.

In other action:

Stout hammers Benedictine.  Of course Duoss leads the way,

UWO leading Augustana at the half 39-19.  Knapp the top scorer and newcomer Sharpee playing well.  Don't count Titans out yet.  Augustana has 21 turnovers at the half.

UWW blows 9 point lead with 8min to go and loses to Wilmington.  Tiffany Morton led the way for WW with 12pts and 12rebs in 20min of action.

wow...surprised to see Oshkosh doing so well....I guess predictions sometimes turn into poo....

Surprised to see WW fall....

Stout no surprise....

Point beating Lawrence by 10 late in second half....20+ turnovers it looks like.....ouch...

Not trying to toot my own horn, but I believe I got every Friday night game correct!  Toot, toot!

Don't put too much stock into Oshkosh yet.  Augustana was a distant last in the CCIW last year, and likely wil be again.  I was impressed that Whitewater hung tough with Wilmington.  Wilmington is only two years removed from a national title and will likely be in the tournament again.  As for Point, same old story.  Hot shooting, good defense, but if they can't trim the turnovers they will have problems against the good teams.

EC wins by 7.  No details

UWO leads by 10 at the half, but gets blown out in the 2nd half as they lose by 15.  Knapp, Tyriver and Sharpee lead the way.  I expect these 3 to lead the way pretty much every game.

Point leads 42-12 in the 2nd Half over Viterbo, which is only 5-33 from the field.

As buf reported, UWEC 72-65 over Davenport...

Keys to the Blugold win were torrid shooting percentage in the second half, and rebounding. Held a 51-36 edge on the glass. Both were improvements over last night's efforts, a 68-50 loss to Baldwin-Wallace...

Game was weird - Davenport jumped out early, had a 22-10 lead. Thought, here we go again. Seems like the 'Golds got behind a lot last year, too, and were unable to dig out of the first half holes they created. But then 'Golds went on a run and closed to within 1, at 22-21. Davenport then went on an 18-run the last 6 minutes or so of the half, to go into the locker room up 40-21. Panthers were not afraid to shoot the three, either, hitting five in the first half.

In the second half, down 59-44, 'the Golds went on a 20-0 run, to take a 64-59 lead, then held on the last four minutes.

Michelle Burns had 14 points and 12 rebounds. Heidi Arciszewski's 18 points were tops, and she chipped in 10 boards, too. Other key stats were the 'Golds only having 13 turnovers, and making 14-16 from the free throw line.

But the stats of the day belong to Erin Voelker, who was a spark off the bench in the second half. She had 10 points in just 9 minutes of play... She and another transfer, Missy Fremstad, who starts, will be key contributors to this team's success this year, I do believe...

Thanks to Sports Radio 1400 for broadcasting these games from Michigan...

Augustana is a very inexperienced squad, but I wouldn't put a prediction on them yet. Their new coach has been able to get programs going in the right direction. UW-O played ok. It was obvious it was the first game for both however. Knapp, Tyriver, and Sharpee played decently, but I don't know if they'll be able to hang in the WIAC. Hebl is going to be a nice player for them with the more experience she gets and that's going to be key for them as the season progresses. Saw some bright spots today as well and looking forward to the rest of the season.

The only pick I missed this weekend was UW-L over Winona State.  Vegas, here I come!

Not surprised by Oshkosh losing to Lake Forest, but definitely surprised by how they lost.  This is not the Oshkosh team I am familiar with.

UW-Stevens Point gets WLC on the road tomorrow night. Sounds like a stiff test for the Warriors. Have to put my heart above my head, and say the Warriors end up losing by at least 15.  ;)
