MBB: Northwest Conference

[LogShow]

yes I am!  The Loggers definately like to "mix it up" by being physical.  Hopefully the ratcats won't shoot 40 FTs, and make 7 out of every 10 from the floor.

I just want to know if we are going to OT?  The last two games WU and UPS have played in Tacoma went to double and triple OT.

That's why they're starting the game at 7:00!  I thought I told you that already!  I heard that the Bearcats had a terrific shooting night on Saturday -- in fact, statistically, I was surprised that they lost.  I also heard that they had quite a number of fans there -- is that true?

I was at the Linfield/LC game -- LC just didn't get it together early enough.  Linfield looked better than I've ever seen them.  I think they thought they were playing for the #3 spot.  It was their senior night!  They kept giving us score updates of the UPS/WIL game and I kept hoping the Bearcats would win so it wouldn't matter who won the game I was watching!

From the sounds of it, I am guessing you will be at the game tomorrow?

So, my advice is to bring a lunch or snack money, because it's going to be a loooong game!  These two teams really like to duke it out for an extended time.

Yes, I'm going to be there!

Go Bearcats!

UPS is going to win...so why can't they just do it in regualtion and save their fans the stress.  One more day to wait.

This is my last post until tomorrow probably after the Bearcats have defeated the UPS Loggers!  I'm sorry I won't be available to respond to jabs and comments, but I have places to go, people to see and a long drive to the game!  Looking forward to a most exciting game possibly with multiple overtimes, although my fervent wish is that the Bearcat defense will do their job and get it done in regulation!

Thanks for the karma -- was that you Logs?  Anyway, at least I'm not below 0 anymore! (Or I wasn't when I wrote this!)  Have fun everyone!!   

Talk to you soon!

Sounds like a full day.  Can you squeeze in the Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond? Or isn't there enough time?

Looking forward to listening to a good game tonight.

As a Pirate fan, I am rooting for...

A new Willamette-UPS record:  5 overtimes! 

[LogShow]

Big big big game for the Logs tonight.  They will get it done in regulation in convincing fashion behind a large, loud boisterious crowd in the fieldhouse!  Ratcats beware...

Go get 'em Logs!

Prayer answered.  Good win for Logs.  See ya Sat.

Well UPS pulled it out.  It wasn't all that pretty, but UPS managed to hang on.  The defense still seemed very sloppy, but can't complain, still got the win!

[LogShow]

Bring on WW! I am sure that they will be ready and waiting.  I don't think WW can slide by UPS for a 3rd consecutive time.  Its going to be a crazy game...the stage doesn't get any bigger.

I think it is quite simple: WW can handle the UPS press. It is the same reason LC had UPS's number. In both WW wins over UPS, UPS has had more turnovers than WW. That is not the way UPS wins. The staple of UPS basketball is the full-court press. Also, in each one of their losses this year, UPS has scored 82 or below. UPS averages 94 a game. Guess who is first in scoring defense? Whitworth. The logical conclusion is the team that plays their game better wins. The past two times, that has been WW playing good D and not turning the ball over. If UPS has more turnovers than WW, they lose. If they don't, they win.

Astute observations Pio20.  Whichever team asserts its will is likely to win the game.  Of course, this is basketball and any bounce can happen.

Heck, look at what happened down in the SCIAC tonight.  Wonder how those results will impact whoever wins in Spokane tomorrow night?
