UPS, not Krauel, chokes. Never should have come to that. Both WW and UPS miss huge chance tonight but hey, thats NWC conference basketball.

Upsetville is right nwhoops, teams picked to finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd all lose tonight, and two of them at home.

LC gets swept by PLU, wow. What a great trip for Willamette, other than UPS, who's the last team to sweep that trip?

OK, UPS chokes too, but you're an all leaguer Krauel, you HAVE to make 1 at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whitworth and UPS have to be shocked, but then I'm sure they'll sigh just a bit when they find out the other lost............

Tough home losses heading on two tough trips next weekend, Whitworth at LC and Pac, and UPS at PLU and Linfied (followed by the Eastern Washington trip the next weekend). It's a battle for 1st, although I think they're both still safe to be in the conference tourney, but we all may have taken a HUGE hit as far as the conference getting an at-large bid and getting 2 in the tourney.

Congrats to Willamette and Fox, great wins.

Just looking at the UPS/Fox box score, 20-32 from the line (Kraeul 6-13 including those final two, OUCH!), 3-16 from 3, and a Technical Foul in a 1 point game.................

Where was that last night when they spanked my Boxers

You may wish to reconsider future use of the word "spanked" with Boxers ...

OK, trying to digest this:

UPS and Whitworth both lose at home on the same night?
L&C is 5-5 and in sixth place after ten games of the NWC schedule?

Wow.

pretty much at a loss for words. Really palyed poorly tonight. I was embarassed to watch the game tonight. We didn't play hard and let G Fox walk all over.

Well said!!

3 way tie for third. PLU hangs in there. Wil must be feeeling good and then Linfield who probably don't think they are the third best.

Everyone can say we choked...because we did. But it wasn't just at the end, it was the entire game. It was an uninspired effort, Foster played well, but defensively we were awful and we just were uninterested for the entire first half. What a shame.

Foster was the only guy busting his hump I take it. He seemed inspired and impressive.

WW played the same way in the first half tonight as UPS did all game, as you say. I was at a loss for the lack of intensity.

LogShow · February 03, 2008, 03:41:42 AM

Is it human nature to eventaully let your guard down?

LogShow · February 03, 2008, 03:47:25 AM

Because I thought the UPS and WW were better then that

Yep he played a heck of a game...nobody was effective besides him.

But it wasn't really our offense. It was the defense. Saturn did whatever he pleased out there. UPS did not impose their will at all defensively
