MBB: Northwest Conference

Would Pac play fast enough to have enough possestions to come back from 26 down?

NWCer · January 29, 2008, 07:00:32 PM

They played fast enough on Saturday against PLU, so it has to be in them, but let's just hope it doesn't come to that

UPS deserves a lot of credit for coming back from 26 down, but giving up a lead of 26 in the SECOND half against ANYONE is unexusable, especially for a team at home picked unanimously to win the conference.

Just playing devil's advocate here..... but unless they ALL have mohawks is that true team unity??

Yeah. They should just grow mustaches instead.

Everything said is definitely valid..haha. I guess we will have to wait to see if they all have the hawks....and if it comes down to it I would have to believe the mohawks would for sure be the one deciding factor

Should be a good game! I'm predicting a 83-82 LC win. I think that now as a fan I am no longer expecting a convincing win...over anyone. I wonder if the players feel the same way. Now that they are battling for that third spot maybe they will want it more.

I am going to say Pacific wins maybe 78-75. LC should win but when have they done what they should do this year? I gotta believe that UPS and Whitworth would prefer LC to not get the 3rd spot. On paper they are arguably the most dangerous.

Yep, same here...They are a enigma, that lives and dies by the 3. And when they get it going watch out...but if they are cold its a long night for the Pios

Congrats to LC for winning a tough game. I thought Pacific played well but LC got the job done with Bergren playing tough. LC is alive.

Yeah alive just barely. It didn't seem like either team wanted to win the game. Wonder why Rivera had another DNP?

nwhoops1903 · January 30, 2008, 01:00:15 AM

Maybe Rivera was having a bad hair day. You know what they say "A BHD = DNP"

Good win for the Pios as they were able to overcome Tillery fouling out with over six minutes left (again) and a bunch of missed free throws to get the W. Not sure where you are getting Rivera did not play, according to the box score he played 37 minutes. Not the prettiest game, but it's a win and sets up a huge game for the Pios Saturday at PLU.

Eyewitness report from LC.

1) Embarassing crowd, more people are at my city league games. 289 in the box score for attendance - yeah right.
2) Bergrenn's "chip" tattoo is stupid. A kid from Tualatin, OR playing college basketball and attending a top notch private institution has a chip on his shoulder? Come on.
3) Even with that tattoo he played well, had some nice 1 on 1 plays.
4) Garold Howe can score, had an effortless 29, nobody, including Rivera, could guard him.
5) You never want to blame anything on the refs, but wow - they were bad, I thought Lowry was going to get T, but I think they let him go because they knew they were bad.
6) Very even teams, huge boost for LC to get this one to get closer to that 3rd spot, still a lot of conference left.
7) Good game, just wish there was a better crowd to help the environment.

Weird...I am sure that the radio guy said it was tough without Rivera, but they should get him back this weekend. Well I dunno...disregard the previous comment

1) Rivera did play..and well (4 blocks). Kid is ridiculous. Radio guy might have been referring to Josh Kollasch, who is still out with a sprained knee.
2) The crowd was as expected for a Tuesday night game. People just have stuff to do on a weeknight and you simply are not going to get your casual fans to come out. I was impressed with the crowds Friday and Saturday though.
3) LC may live and die by the three but this game was decided by LC's ability to drive to the basket (28 free throws in the second half). Berggren got whatever he wanted off the dribble all night. Same formula that got a win against Linfield: took care of the ball and went to the foul line/drove to the basket THEN either shot or kicked it out.
4) I was impressed with Pac's offense. They set a ton of screens and are always moving. Harrison-Davis couldn't miss.
5) The refs were terrible. Ridiculous calls against both teams.
6) Big win for LC. The PLU game will be big this weekend. Don't wanna fall back to .500 again.
7) The mohawks were not team-wide, but we did get a win. It will be interesting to see if they continue if the wins continue.

Pio20 do you know if LC is expecting Josh Kollasch back any time soon?

Pio20 · January 30, 2008, 11:40:37 PM

Word on the street is he will be back not this weekend but next weekend.
