MBB: Northwest Conference

Hey guys -- remember how I was telling you it's not very happy on the FB boards?  Well, OxyBob packed up his marbles & left D3boards.  All his posts are deleted and he seems to be gone.  I think it's a shame because he has some pretty good insights about DIII basketball.  Anyway, didn't know if you knew.

UPS squares off against eastern washington today at 2pm.  I think Eastern is a bit down this year.  Could it be enough for the logs to pull the upset?  I don't know but I think that UPS has a shot.  They will have to shot the ball well from 3, and not turn it over.  I will be interested to see how much the Logs press, or if they will have changed their defense at all.

Thats a shame...I always enjoyed reading his posts.  I thought he was witty and creative and told it like it was.  He will be missed.

The new long 3 has got to change the game, right?  Looking at the UPS roster, at least the returnees from last year, it looks to me like there's maybe one guy who's going to be a consistent threat from the longer long range.

I think it will some what...probably lower 3pt% but who knows.  I don't think it will impact UPS much..they tend to launch them from a few feet behind the line anyways.  Thats not to say that I like that.  I would much rather have UPS take less 3s.  I think they get themselves in trouble when they take a lot.  It is true that they don't have the shooters like they did in years past that can consistantly knock down the long range shot.

Rough start for UPS against Eastern Washington.  Logs are down 20-7 mid-way through the first half.  UPS is just 2-13 from the floor.

UPS is down at the half 42-28.  UPS only made 8 field goals...hopefully the first game jitters are gone and there will be a better effort in the second half

[LogShow]

Well...things are going from bad to worse.  Under 10 to go UPS down 26

And thats all she wrote UPS goes down to EWU 66-90.  Too bad thought UPS would play better and give EWU a good game.

tough to get a feel for the game by reading the recap. I thought it was interesting to see the distribution of minutes. guys who played 30+ last year did get nearly as much time. i believe williams had the most with 23. seemed that everybody who got in played at least almost 10 minutes. wonder if lunt conceded somewhat when they were down big and wanted to get some younger guys so game expirience when it wasnt gonna count on the record.

You may be interested to know that when UPS was playing against EWU they were facing a former Pio, Jeff Christensen. Christensen transferred to EWU from LC last season and redshirted.

Pio, I had in fact remembered that.  Seemed like he got some good minutes against the Loggers (familar territory for him).  Glad things have worked out there for him.

I think it just goes to show that there are a number of players spread throughout the NWC who could play in the Big Sky.
