Yea it does look like the WW SID updated the WU win press release and the (odd) tiebreaker procedure rankings do favor WW.

So I guess I dont have to listen to the GF/LC game but I still am...3:49 left first half and GF up 30-18.  UPS game is meaningless, except for the dads.

Go GF and give the Pirates the outright title!

Thanks for the info pinecone and bucs77.  Lewis and Clark is absolutley on fire but UPS is still a good team (albeit a very inconsistent one).  I liked how Whitworth closed out the season with an easy win over Willamette, shooting over 60% from the floor.  So now for predictions...who wins, UPS or LC?  I'll give the nod to LC @ home by 3...87-84.

Going to favor Lewis and Clark. Perhaps success will bleed over into their football program and interest some alumni again.

I've been out for a few days and missed a lot of the convo...

My thoughts about last weekend...OUCH!!!  Looks like the Logger defense didn't bring an inspired effort to the game at LC.  Although there is still a chance for them to get the tourney auto bid(an at large is out of the question now), UPS will have to take the most difficult road to get there.  Traveling to LC and then to WW will be no easy task, but depending on which UPS team decides to show up for those two games they can still make it happen.  In my opinion they have an excellent chance if the inspired/energetic/tough defense Loggers show up.  They have shown the ability to beat tough teams this year so there is no reason to think they can't beat LC and WW.  Good luck to UPS tomorrow night!!! 

Whatever happens in the NWC tournament I hope we send a worthy representative to the national tourney that can do some damage and make some noise for our conference. 
I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

NWC Tourney Predictions?

All-Conference/Player of the Year/Coach of the Year Predictions?

I like LC over UPS and LC to go on the road and beat Whitworth giving the NWC two teams in the tourney hopefully (although they'll most likely will just play each other)

From the games I saw and looking at the stats, for all conference I like

1st team
B. Williams
Symes
Tillery
Bergren
Born

2nd Team
Foster
Satern
Bartlett
Krauel
Nugent

Can't really put my finger on a player of the year.

And a lot of worthy honorable mentions, starting with the UPS guards, Parker, HarisonDavis, Faidley, Timperly, Toboni, etc.

With LC being picked to finish 4th and finishing in a tie for 1st with that long winning streak I'd have to go with Gailord for coach of the year

Let the debating begin............................

Tourney Predictions...

I think its pretty much a toss up between all three teams.  Obviously since I'm a UPS fan I've got faith that the Loggers will be on an up swing in their streakiness (because they haven't been playing well lately) and pull off two road upset wins for their forth conference championship in a row!!!  Realistically, the home teams have a huge advantage which makes WW the favorite...Go UPS though.

All NWC Players...(POY should go to the best player on the team that wins the NWC tourney)

1st team(no particular order)

Foster
BWilliams
Born
Tillery
Krauel

2nd team(no particular order)

Nugent
Bartlett
Faidley
Toboni
Bartlett

COY... LC's coach

Logs, I hate to bust your bubble, but UPS will not be winning their 4th straight title.  The conference tourney title is for the automatic bid only.  Accoring to the by laws "the conference champion will be determined by the best win-loss percentage in conference games, in case of a tie, teams shall be declared co-champions".  UPS came in third   :'(, their run of titles is over, regardless of what happens in the conference tourney, Whitworth and LC are the conference champs.

Whoops ???, I put Bartlett on there twice...just noticed that.  Replace one of them with Symes.

NWCer,   

Touche :o...I didn't even think about that when I was posting earlier.  You are of course correct on that fact...I retract my previous statement...Sorry for the misunderstanding :-\.

No apologies needed logs, just wanted to make sure everyone knew that info, I know there was confusion about it last year as well.  You're a true fan, you stick by your boys. 

Do you think they can pull both off?  That would be a major accomplishment to beat both co-champs on the road.

I saw that you had Bartlett down twice, I thought you just really liked my Boxers  :D

I am curious how high Whitman would have had to finish for Born to get serious consideration as Player of the Year?  He still might get it, but I wouldn't bet on it.  But if he was playing on one of the playoff teams, he be a shoe in (IMO).  

Any thoughts?  If Whitman had finished .500 or just above, would the coaches be more likely to consider him the Player of the Year?

And I would agree with both COY choices so far, Gaillard has to be the guy this year.

Pineconefan, I can see Born as POY, Leading rebounder and scorer, not bad, and it's not like he played in a system where you would get inflated numbers.  You have to consider him.

Without Borne, Whitman may not win a game.  He led the league in scoring and rebounding.  That is a hard thing to accomplish.  The coaches would be hard pressed not to pick him for POY.

Gene Rivera should get some love, too.  Anyone who has seen LC play would say that he could be the MVP of that team.  He defends from the 1 to the 5, depending who the opponent's best player is,  and he handles the ball when Tillery is out.  Watching him play this year was fun.

Williams
Tillery
