MBB: Northwest Conference

[LogShow]

I'm going to take your bait Logshow and throw out some predictions............

Thats what I like to hear!

[LogShow]

WW @ LC  Tough to call, think its a toss up.  If LC hits some 3's they could win.  As I usually do I will give them the nod, only because they are at home.  70-68

UPS @ Linfield  This is always a tough game for the Loggers.  I can't stand another OT game NWCer! Hopefully the Logs will take care of business, it will be a tight game though.  UPS 101-98

Willamette @ G Fox  I think Willamette will get this one.  Amazingly they are still in the hunt, even with a decimated roster.  74-69

Whitman @ Pacific  Pac is playing better and Whitman is terrible.  Pac 70-60.

[UPSoundLogs]

My predictions,

LC breaks out of their shell, hits a bunch of 3's, and  takes one from WW... LC 64  WW 61

UPS will start out slow, get behind by 15 then come roaring back with about 10 minutes to go and get the close win...UPS 106 Lin 101

WU will play a tough game as they have been all year, but Gfox will be too much at home with a new found confidence after beating UPS...GF 79  WU 70

Pac will roast Whitman because Whitman is god aweful...Pac 79 Whitman 65, Faidley will have half their points.

LC comes back after being down 10 with 6 minutes to win 69-67.
Linfield upsets UPS 89-88.
George Fox tops Willamette 85-78.
Pacific wins over Whitman 91-74.

[LCPios07]

The Pios have been so up and down this year, not just game to game but from half to half, who knows what will happen tonight. I think the game will be played at a slower pace and probably in the 60's so it will be up to the Pios defense to come up with some big stops. I think they game definitely comes down to the last few possessions, and I think LC gets the upset in a game similar to the one in Portland last year. LC 65 WW 61

Other games, I think Linfield pulls off the upset 83-82
Fox over Willamette 72-68
Pacific over Whitman 78-61

I will predict this..if UPS loses - WW loses.  If WW wins - UPS wins.  There is balance in the force.

[nwhoops1903]

I was correct both WW and UPS lose.  Amazing.

93-82 Linfield
75-65 LC

[Pio20]

That was the best overall game I have seen the Pios play. Defensively, they shut down Symes. Fronted him all game and refused to let him get the ball. Toboni did a great job on him and set the tone early defensively by laying out for a ball. I knew WW would make a run, and actually I was pretty sure we would give up the lead late again but we held tough and made free throws. Sellereit was huge for WW. His rainbow threes were all but perfect. He would have cut the lead to three within one minute but his three rattled out. WW was also hurt by an intentional foul late by Jerry Beverly. He plowed through Nick Thierry and then stepped over him arrogantly and if he didnt get the foul the technical was coming. That gave Thierry two free throws and the Pios the ball back and pretty much locked it up. Solid win for the Pios. Still breathing!

    oh man...what is the Logger's deal?

[LogShow]

I was correct both WW and UPS lose.  Amazing.

93-82 Linfield
75-65 LC

Isn't that weird...just like clock work

[LogShow]

Was anyone at the Linfield/UPS game?  How did the Loggers let Linfield shoot 72.7% the second half.  The Loggers have a real tough time playing with the lead.  It is typical Logger fashion of the past two years to let teams back in the game, and make every game close.

What an up and down season...

[nwhoops1903]

On Jan 15th I posted that the conf. champ would have 3 losses.  Looks like it might be 4 or could it even be 5?  LF looks strong for a berth.

Puget Sound            9-3
Whitworth                8-3
Linfield                     7-4
Lewis & Clark           6-5
Pacific Lutheran        6-5 
Willamette                6-5
Pacific                       5-6
George Fox               3-8 
Whitman                   0-11

It has just been a crazy season.  Everyone is beating everyone up and nobody is can escape.  The 3rd place team will more then likely have a league record of 9-7...last year it was 11-5

[LogShow]

Here is tonights schedule:

Feb. 9
Whitman at Lewis & Clark

Whitworth at Pacific

Pacific Lutheran at Willamette

Linfield at George Fox

[Pio20]

My predictions for tonight:

LC-75 Whitman-70..this game scares me. LC has been so inconsistent all season. Can't let the guard down.
WW-83 Pacific-72..WW gets back on track
Willamette-88 PLU-85, OT
George Fox-73 Linfield-69...GF homecoming! yessssss
