MBB: Northwest Conference

[89Pirate]

Its pretty much a requirement written into the NWC bylaws that states UPS and WW must play 3 times each year.

Hopefully both with make the tourney...but not in the same bracket, I wouldn't want to have to play 4 times...that is just pushing it

It sure seems that way in the last few years.

3 is pushing it a bit much for me, but as it has been said before...it is hard to beat a team 3 times in one season - so GO BUCS !

I hate to admit it but WW did get us 3 times last year...so time for some payback this year 

the Logshow is rolling...

Your right about last year, forgot about that in my old age.  I hope your wrong about this week, but time will tell.  I think this WILL be a 4 meeting year for us...does kinda make it exciting though.

[89Pirate]

IMO the announcer does a pretty good job, not quite as good as the guy form WW who does a freakin awesome job, but the announcer for UPS is very excitable, but he can be a bit partial, so be forewarned

IMO Castle is the best voice in the conference and maybe even on the left coast ! I am only a little biased though, he is a great guy off the radio as well.

No, you're right, Castle is the best!  He's pretty fair and he pronounces names right & such.  He's definitely not biased in his broadcast--he calls em like he sees em.  Fun to listen to!

So, there's no streaming video for the UPS/L&C game tonight?   What's with that?  Logs, your team needs to upgrade their technology to the level of their team's success.  That's just wrong!

Is the announcer any good?

Because of the women's game at UPS, we can watch 1/2 of the Whitworth/Linfield game before switching over to UPS/L&C.   Then we can alternate back & forth.

A minor detail for me, but then again I live in Tacoma...

Predicting a blowout tonight: Loggers by 18, leads of 30 or close to it throughout the night.  I think WW beats Linfield comfortably as well,  maybe with a late surge, and then it's revenge for last year for the Logs.

[LogShow]

I would love for the game to be that far out of reach!  I think that LC will keep it some what close for the first part of the 1st half, and then UPS will stretch the lead to about 10 at half...then use one of their patented 2nd half runs to blow the game wide open.  I am hoping for a comfortable margin for most of the 2nd half.  I think UPS will end up winning by about 17.

As for the WW/Linfield game, I think this is going to be a real battle...Don't know who to pick, but have to give WW the slight nod being at home...they are very tough there.

[Bearcat Press]

I'm going to say both home teams by double digits, simply because they're easily the two best teams in the conference.  I really hope Whitworth gets a shot at an at-large bid.

I really hope I don't make the two hour trip to see a 30 point blowout

Lets get it done Logs!  Bring the NWC tournament crown back to Tacoma too!

And I hope I dont have to make the 5 hour trip to see a game in Memorial.  Go Pios tonight and keep the conference champ in Spokane !

[89Pirate]

OH YEAH BABY !  What a game...PIRATES WIN in a nailbiter by 8.  Interesting refing, but that happens.  Nate the Great was a STUD tonight.  12 of 15 from the line, and 3 of 4 from behind the arc for 31 BIG points.  It was a close game all the way, Linfield was  a great opponent tonight, they have nothing to be ashamed of here.

Now, just waiting the the other side of the tourney to finish...

[bbaddict]

Sorry to say you'll be making the trip to Tacoma.  UPS beat L&C 86 - 74.  Tried to listen to the game, but ended up just looking at LiveStats.  (Was also watching the Whitworth/Linfield game where it overlapped.)  The Pios made the Loggers work for the win.  Seemed like it might have been a pretty good game.

Didn't Montgomery have 14 boards as well?  There is just no other announcer like Bob Castle!  He's the greatest!   Linfield was a pretty tough team this year. 

So, UPS & Whitworth - go represent the NWC!  I'm pretty sure that whatever the outcome of Saturday's game, both teams will go to the tourney.  How sweet is that?

You better fill up your gas tank and check the conditions on the pass...you are heading to Tacoma!

[LogShow]

It wasn't easy, but still got the win...19th straight.  Looking forward to playing WW on saturday.  It is going to be some great pay back for last year.

I watched UPS/LC.  The Pios put up about as good a fight as they could, got some pretty sweet 3 point shooting from 5 and 24, and kept within shouting distance. I thought that UPS controlled the game throughout, with a little sputtering in the first minutes of the second half. Foster was great in the first half in particular, and Williams (aside from a couple of bad turnovers near the start of the second half) was in command in the second half. 

LC went to a 1-4 offense in the second half, leaving the ball at the point, running the shot clock down to under 15, then (typically) having whoever was at the point step back and shoot the 3.  I hadn't seen anybody attack UPS that way, and for a little while it looked effective.

Linfield came to play tonight.  Olson was amazing.

But Montgomery was all over the court for the Pirates - offense, defense, rebounding.  Hope he can bring the same game to UPS on Saturday.
