WW close out Pacific, 82-51. Totally dominate over last 10 minutes. Real balanced scoring.

We got that in game update section for score updates. I just remembered about it...just an fyi.

Congrats on the win Logs...2-0 great start!

Impressions from the first week:

1. Whitworth and UPS will both be dominant at home this season.
2. Whitman has started 2-0 in the NWC for the first time since.... who knows when? I agree with Logshow, Whitman will be really tough at home and it only makes the E-WA swing for the rest of the NWC that much tougher.
3. PLU may not recover this season from choking away a chance to beat Buena Vista.
4. Willamette has gotten it together after a rough start and should be a factor at the top of the standings. The Bearcats got a key road win.
5. L&C is still dangerous, but I don't know if the Pioneers will play consistently enough to make the top four.

Of course, according to bbaddict, Whitworth will be puking all over itself with fear this week because the Pirates have to play at Willamette on Friday.

Latest poll is up! After strong weekends, UPS and Withworth both jump 4 spots to #17 and #15 respectively. NIce work!

Not to get too far ahead, but if both UPS and WW take care of business next weekend (and this Tuesday for UPS) it will set up a huge matchup over in Spokane the following week.

Of course WW has to take on Willamette first...right bballaddict?

Speaking on behalf of my friend bbaddict, I'll submit that Willamette has to take care of Linfield first. We always seem to have trouble winning in McMinnville.

I'm already kicking myself that I'm going to have to miss the Whitworth game. It'd sure be nice if we could play the Pirates when our students were back. Cone Fieldhouse was dead with a capital "D" for the Southern Oregon game last week.

I am interested in any LC takes on the loss in Tacoma. It looked to me like the Pios were a little slow (granted, with Hayman and Williams the Loggers are crazy quick in the backcourt) and alot flummoxed. Papenfuss had maybe three shots for the game...what's the view from Portland?

LogShow · January 06, 2009, 10:10:15 PM

Loggers/Lutes at 8pm tonight in Parkland...Good luck Logs!!!

I don't know...but they aren't missing him! This freshman, Stackhouse, is killing the Loggers. He has 17 in the first half.

Listening to the game online...the PLU announcer said that Dressler is sidelined with academic problems...

Willamette leads Linfield 27-25 at halftime. It sounds like Linfield's getting quite a few easy buckets in transition and are pretty much taking Cam Mitchell out of the game.
