MBB: Northwest Conference

[bbaddict]

It usually is brutal.   If you live on the left coast, you gotta be toughER!

My edit.

I'm pulling for whatever West Coast team can pull the cart uphill.

That NWC All-Rewards team is another embarrassment to a fine basketball HISTORY at LINFIELD. The two also rans picked from LINFIELD were transfers from other colleges.  (Well,, sorry K.C.)

Agreed  DOC -- some of the Linfield players were ones I was thinking of that got omitted.   There's just not enough positions to honor everyone who deserves it.

Has anyone ever thought about a NWC all star game at the end of the year?

I think it would be fun to have a WA vs. OR NWC all-star game OR... NWC vs. SCIAC which would be even better.  Obviously there would be problems including cost, venue, travel, ect... but greater feats have been accomplished.  Have a women's game followed by a men's game.  I would actually guess that depending on the location you could draw a decent crowd and have some of the cost problem taken care of.

Would be fun to see Williams (UPS) and Ross (WW) in the same back court as well as a bunch of other combos.

NWC all-stars vs. SCIAC all-stars! That would be awesome!

The NJAC all-stars play the CUNYAC all-stars every year after the season has concluded. Of course, the all-star teams only include seniors who have completed their eligibility, because NCAA rules require that all sanctioned games played by NCAA student-athletes be counted towards their eligibility maximum.

I've seen Claremont play many times. (I think it's silly to call them Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. There aren't any Scrippsies, and Mudders are rare; I believe this year's roster is all from Claremont.)

I knew a hot girl that went to Scripps. Too bad she's not on the team.

lol, nice!

Would probably be hard to find money for an All Star game I would think?  Congrats to Jason Foster NWC MVP, an incredible all around player and a defensive force this season.

What a fantastic find, OB!

It's all semantics, Sager, since the "real season" to me is conference play.  Anyway, I was right about the game results?  So, why is Whitworth hosting CMS?  Seems that it should be the other way around -- not that I'm complaining!

And logshock, both coaches were talking to the refs while Krauel was down.  Probably "lobbying" for different reasons.  There was also discussion when Gebbers went down.  One big difference:  Krauel returned to play.

that cause he got knocked the f@#$ out as chris tucker would say...from what i hear antwan has an extremely hard head literally

"Nine out of ten girls are beautiful, and the tenth one goes to Oxy." That's great. Gotta love that they included "local high schools" haha.

When I was at Oxy the running joke was that the women were really guys who had studied their balls off.

Continuing on my All-Star game fantasy:

NWC all-stars (seniors):

Jason Foster (UPS)
Antwan Williams (UPS)
Ross Nakamura (WW)
Calvin Jurich (WW)
Chris Faidley (Whitman)
Kyler McClary (Will.)
Garold Howe (PAC)
Erik Olson (LIN)
David Berggren (LC)
Tyson Papenfuss (LC)
Josh Dressler (PLU)

Add Robert Krauel if UPS gets three which they should.

WW will definitely take down CMS.  WW is a much different team now than they were at the beginning of the season.  CMS playing in the hanger will also be a huge factor.  Both coaches are pretty disciplined, but Hayford has the ability to adjust more to the situation than Scalmanini.  Overall, the NWC is a much tougher league than the SCIAC, especially this year.  I don't see where CMS has the advantage in any category.  WW by 15.

An assistant coach told me that there was a tie for the 6 spot on the first team, so both made the first team all-NWC and that led to one less for the second team.   Kollasch is a sympathy selection since he almost died, but he would have been there or first team had he been healthy all year.  Haymen over Montgomery makes no sense at all.  Shaw from Whitman was a much better guard than Heyman if they needed a guard to fill out the team.  Other than that, I don't have much of a problem with the selections. 

I shudder to think about another game between UPS and WW.  I doubt there will be better refs, but one can hope.  The winner needs to be prepared for the next round, and that has not happened so far.   I have to go with UPS on the playoff rematch. 

An all-star game would be great, but it will never happen.  Too many politics involved.  But we can fantasize.

I pick UPS again if the match up is with WW because I gotta believe the officiating will be on more of an even keel from both sides' perspectives and the obvious advantages of being home, etc.
