MBB: Northwest Conference

bbaddict · February 10, 2009, 03:25:45 PM

Hey Pio 20, thanks for the updates on Josh Kollasch and I, for one, don't care if you "know it all" about the Pios. Keep contributing, as you're one of the few L&C contributors. Seems to me that "insiders" would be too busy to care about some board where we argue about who's best or who will win. Your opinion is as good as the next, so don't stop.

Glad to hear that Josh K is going to be OK. Sorry to hear that he won't be playing basketball, he's one of the good ones! Fun to watch & a real competitor.

So, oldnwcer -- what's the REAL scoop on L&C? You seem to be in the know.

A nice article in the Oregonian about Coach G:

That is pretty cool that Coach G has 500 wins -- what an accomplishment!

Just heard from Biddy that Kollasch does have Crohns disease, a nasty but treatable illness, and that he was in a very serious condition Saturday night also having a ruptured appendix that went undetected. They weren't sure he was going to make it until the surgery! Whew!

So, what happened to Pacific last night? I thought they were pretty tough at home. Is Fox that much improved or was it just a bad night for the Boxers? Anybody see the game? Reports?

Fox played their best game of the year by far, Stockner and Atwater both shot the ball really well. Howe had a huge game for Pacific but nobody else really showed up for the boxers. Bartlett didn't really do much on the court, and Pacific couldn't throw a grape into the ocean from outside

bbaddict - I thought my Boxers were tough at home too! So much for having 5 at home down the stretch... Losses to Whitman, Whitworth, LC, Fox, and pretty sure UPS next week... Seems like there has been a lot of bad nights... I did make it out last night, Bartlett really struggled, you can tell he's not quite right, and 80's shorts was right, they couldn't throw a grape into the ocean, never seen those many bricks. Pacific struggled, and Fox looked pretty good.....

Anyone from Pacific or L&C coming down to the Cone for this weekend's games?

NWCer · February 12, 2009, 02:02:02 AM

I'm gonna make it down bearcatpress..

Interesting quotes in that Bridgeland/UPS story.. Is Bridgeland calling Lunt a "time teller"? Pretty obvious Krauel likes playing for Lunt.. And is Krauel calling Bridgeland "Eric" disrespectful? Not implying, just asking the thoughts of the UPS faithful..

Nice work BCpress.

I am most impressed, however, that the school paper budget paid for the trip to Eastern Washington.

Not quite.

Since both schools have free video streaming, I got to watch the game from the comfort of my undersized dorm room. I've still got one more year to make the trip up to Whitworth, which is something I'd like to do. Tremendous atmosphere you guys have up there.
