Just a quick update/reminder that "Quantum Hoops" will
be playing for one week (March 28-April 3) in Boston
and Seattle.

The Boston location is the Landmark Kendall Square
Cinema - across the strett from MIT.

The Seattle location is the Landmark Metro Cinemas.

We will also be playing for one night only in San
Antonio (April 10) and Austin (April 24).

If you are in these areas or know anyone who is,
please pass this email on to anybody you think might
be interested.

Feel free to email me directly with any questions or
suggestions.


THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!

THANKS!  Would have hated to have to ask.

And Bob Castle will be announcing the Whitworth/Wheaton game.  Link on the Whitworth site.

NWCer -- don't know why you're being so snotty.  I just want the keeper of the NWC site to do his job and put Willamette in 3rd place.  They had to play UPS for a 3rd time to earn it.  Don't care how they rank the rest of them, but WU did win the tie breaker of the 4 that tied.

I didn't think NWCer was being snotty at all!  There actaually isn't a keeper of the NWC, or the NWC website.  In fact I think that the NWC website is maintained by the WW SID.  So, #1 he has a few more important things he is working on.  And #2 That's a small thing to nitpick about.  Yes they won the tiebreaker, but that doesn't mean they finished 3a instead of 3d.  They finished 3rd with the other 3 teams, and were fortunate enough to get to move on for the playoffs. 

Hi, folks -- I see this is still a discussion. 

The NWC and D3hoops both use the same database and it isn't smart enough to maintain tiebreakers for 40 different conferences. We don't have control over it to move teams around within tied groups.

Well I figure someone has to post the updates so here is goes


WW and Wheaton are tied up at 13 with 10 mins and change to go

Why didn't you bozos use the update page?  Dang I will hate everyone named Kent from now til I die.

My bad...forgot about the updates page, oh well.

Kent was acting like Clark Kent today!

It's always possible to show up and have someone play a game they will remember the rest of their lives.  Unfortunately, the guy that showed up was an All-American.  His own quote said "It is just one of those nights where God blesses you with a hot hand and it just felt good."  When the All Mighty Himself is helping the other team, lol, what can you do?  We had a great year and I was so impressed with how this team came together and played without ego or issue.  Very nice coaching and a lucky home game after a BYE!  So many great things to remember down the road. 

Be interesting to see if the coach positions change and if anyone transfer away from the conf.  If you here about anything interesting, I will be happy to and enjoy chatting about it.

Whitworth will have some big holes to fill and will probably be picked 2, maybe even third or fourth.  If that happens, good, we will do it again and 3peat.  Happy spring and summer gentlemen.

Thanks Pat, good info.  I think bbaddict has given up on his unholy grail quest for 3rd.

Not a discussion topic with me anymore.  Told you all several days ago that I was switching over to DI for a while.  Do whatever you want with your standing, rankings, etc.   I'm just gearing up for a long dry spell of no basketball!  Waaa.  Can't stand baseball, but I guess if you look far enough, football is just around the corner.   

Good job Pirates.  Really wish you could've beaten Wheaton -- but they only lasted one more game.  Guess Hope got the better of them!

See you all next year!

That would really be something if WW can win a 3rd straight.  And if they do then my hat goes off to Hayford for a heck of a job.  Hopefully, my loggers will have a little something to say about that 3peat.

Wouldn't put it by them to get it done again, who thought they could replace Pecht and Tucker with two better players in Symes and Willemson and win it, and then when losing all they did last year it made LC and UPS everyone's pick and they get it done again........

Loggers will be tough, I think Fox, Whitman, and PLU will make up the bottom 3 again and then the other 6 will be in a dogfight again..........

Congrats to NWCer's Ryan Symes, Antwan Williams, Jason Foster and freshmen K.C. Wiser for such a big recognition. Great job.

I agree.  Good show for NWC and congrats to Whitman on POTY.  Symes on first team!  I love it.

Its too bad that WW didn't make the top 25 in the final poll.  I would have thought they would have been in there.

[LogShow]

Well I guess that about wraps it up for this year's hoop season.  Hopefully people will contiune to post.  I have enjoyed everyone contributions!

All may be interested to know that Joey Toboni and Mark Robinowitz are currently playing for Portland's International Basketball League (IBL) team. Really short contracts, but still the next level.

news on Whitworth's recruiting front... 6-8 freshman from Germany is planning on coming (pretty sure he's a post-type player), as well as a 6-8 JUCO kid.  They're working on a good sized JUCO guard and have another committed with same look and style of play as Willemsen.  Another freshman from Aspen, CO is most likely coming and I'm pretty sure he's a 6-5, 6-6 swingman.  While Whitworth will undoubtedly finish second or third in the pre-season coaches poll, the guys are saying that based on playing with the new guys in open gym settings when they visit, this could be the best team they've had in quite some time.  If you don't believe me then go back to my posts from last year about the JUCO kids and freshman coming in...no reason I'm any less accurate this year.

So, LogShow -- any news on what Eric Bridgeland is going to do now that Pepperdine made the massive mistake of cutting him loose?  I can't believe that they just let him go after he was left with an inexperienced team and actually went on to improve their season.  Big mistake --- they traded him for the old guy with "past experience".   We can only hope he doesn't come back to the NWC -- at least for Bearcat fans!

Man, I miss basketball!  The NBA just isn't the same as good ol' DIII bball!
