MBB: Northwest Conference

[(509)Rat]

So Linfield beats Fox, and Fox beats Whitman, does that mean if Whitman beats Whitworth Linfield wins the conference?! Haha

Can I take this one step further by pointing out that Willamette beat Linfield?

That's really all you got going for you at the moment so yeah. Run with it BP

Congrats to GF for the best Eastern Washington showing I can recall since bridgeland has been at WM. 

First live WW game I've been to in a couple years. I've seen bigger crowds there but they are wilder than ever.  Awesome atmosphere. Not to mention awesome comeback. 

Best part of the comeback was seeing some strong play from WW's younger players.

As I said earlier Whitman won't win the title until they beat who they should beat.

I watched a large piece of the Fox/Whitworth game.  Painful for two reasons:

(1) Watching WW.  I'm almost certain that I've heard WW fans admit that they don’t actually enjoy watching WW games.  They compared it to going to the dentist—usually satisfied with the end result but sitting in the chair is miserable.  A Buc, do you think  maybe the student body was so wild because they were being held at the arena against their will?

(2) Fox:  It’s really hard to shoot free throws when your hands are around your neck.  Are you kidding me?

I don’t know anything about Fox’s coach but I did like his sideline demeanor.  I think there’s a ton of potential in Newberg.  It will be interesting to see him get some of “his guys.”  What I don’t like: Their shot selection is as poor as it gets, which to me explains their record.  When they’re hot, they can beat anybody in the conference.  When they’re not--Linfield.

WW, finding ways to win games that they shouldn't.  Sign of a conference champion.

A quick glance at the playoff standings and unless I’m mistaken, everyone except Whitman controls their own fate.  Unless LC can take down WW, our little appetizer on Tuesday is more than likely just going to be for bragging rights.  Is there any way that WW-WMN doesn't come down to the last possession?

I watched 3 games in 5 hours Saturday night. Eastern Washington vs N Arizona. Mead high vs Central Valley and WW vs GF.  By far the most fun basketball and atmosphere was WW vs GF.

Two questions to fellow posters:

Have you ever seen a Quaker with tattoos?

I've dated several women since being widowed a haven't found a keeper.  The latest hit all the games with me and enjoyed herself. Is she a keeper?

A couple questions to help your opinion Buc.

1) Does she know what is going on?
2) Did she yell at the ref because of an obvious missed call?
3) Do you know if she fills out a march madness bracket?

Speaking of, is anyone interested in filling out brackets here on the board or joining an ESPN bracket?

It's not a great dunk but in my two years of watching DIII basketball, I'd say that dunks are rare to come by. Plus, 'Budweiser Hawkins III' is a pretty dope name.

Too bad it wasn't a dunk on an alley-oop pass from Wettig to Hawkins. That would have been a Mitchell lob.

OxyBob - +1... very well done.

[Andy Jamison - Walla Walla Wildcat]

Was in Walla Walla and managed to catch the Wildcats at Whitman.  Definite talent difference between the teams especially on the inside.. The 'Cats need 2-3 big guys.. at least 6'8" or so.. guys like former 'Cats Konrad Ross, Joel Holland, Todd Baker, or Beau Burggraff from my time at Linfield.  Some of our young guards look to have lots of potential.

Guys kept trying to take charges... with the new NCAA guidelines on block/charges those are going to be especially difficult calls to get and probably not an effective tactic.  The demeanor of the new coach was excellent especially considering that they are at the tail end of a very difficult season.

Can't stand losing to Whitman in hoops... one of my best Whitman memories growing up in Wall Walla was their student body chanting to CWU while being destroyed... "That's all right, that's okay, you'll work for us one day..."  That and the incredible discipline of WallaBall that Coach Mastin employed.  Guys blocking out like demons on both ends.. running the break and ending up with wide open 15-18' baseline jumpers... he won when we had talent which wasn't often..

Will be interesting to see how long the success at Whitman lasts once Bridgeland leaves as everyone knows he isn't going to be there very long.. I'm surprised he has as long as he has..

lol well don't remember who it was, but they did try to do that on the next play but I guess Hawkins jumped too early and had to end up laying it in but he missed.
