MBB: Northwest Conference

[nwhoops1903]

The last Top 25 poll, besides the final one, was released today.

Even with their strong finish, WW couldn't break the Top 25 and only mustered 9 points.  I am a bit suprised by this result...I would have thought they would be closer to breaking the Top 25.  They have a chance to prove it in the tournament though, the final poll could look much differnent after everything is all said and done.

I think the pollsters were a bit apathetic on this poll because it really is the most meaningless of the polls that are done.  That being said, WW picked up 6 votes!!  Guess beating UPS isn't that impressive anymore.

Bring back the glory days when we could count on UPS meeting UW-Stevens Point in the sweet 16!

Oh, you mean 2004-2006?  To that you'll need to bring back Bridgeland, but I think he's looking for a head coaching job, isn't he?

I wouldn't think you need to bring Bridgeland for that.  Seems like they are doing the exact same things as in years past.  Even if Bridgeland was here, I think most of the teams in the league have figured out how to play against UPS so it wouldn't matter all that much. 

It's probably time for UPS to switch things up...I am not talking about an entire overhaul, but something needs to be done.  Lunt has lots of options with all those athletes.  It will be interesting to see what he comes up with.

Now back to Whitworth watch 2008.

We are going to send it live to NWhoops to get the latest update,

Take it away Hoops...

im new here but i doubt that bridgeland was doing the SAME THING at ups...seems like if he was doing the same thing, he wouldn't have led ups to a 44-4 record over a 3 year period...i've been in the region for alot of yrs and i can tell you that he has done alot more with alot less than what the current ups roster has/and better results

You're right mtnman -- it was his energy!

So, how are things in Spokane.   When we were there for the WU/Whitworth game the place was covered in snow.  Like the worst storm in 15 years or something.  Hopefully, some has melted?

Would you say Lunt has lots of energy too?  He can get pretty animated on the sidelines.

Hayford suprised me by being pretty calm this year in Tacoma...maybe because WW was in control most of the game.

I might have just missed it, but was that a link on the front page or just a line from their leading story?

I think it was when they were discussing brackets and selection and how the NCAA's selection criteria could have a west coast bias because it could result in Oxy, PP, CLU, Whitworth, and Chapman getting in. "If going only by the numbers [new strength of schedule calculations], the Division III men's tournament could have a distinct west coast bias." Of course, Chapman and CLU were left out. So it is not the bias it was once thought to be.

You sure they weren't referring to men's D1 bb?
