MBB: Northwest Conference

[LogShow]

Logs, I think you're being too hard on your team.  UPS dominated for a couple of years (with Bridgeland as their coach) but NWC is an extremely competitive conference, where on any given night, any team can win.   I might be mistaken, but didn't the Loggers have some pretty close contests?

Remember, this year we had Whitworth at 1st, UPS at 2nd and four teams tied for 3rd place -- not an easy win on any night!

Maybe, that could very well be.  My response would be: with success comes expectations.  Each time UPS won the league the expectations of them increased.  I would admit that the bar is set very high for them...But that's the causation of a successful program.

I would have to agree that is definately is much more parody in the NWC this year.  Not really sure why.  Maybe all the other teams have just started recuriting better players like WW and UPS.  I like it though...makes for an interesting league.

Pio20,

Not wishing to be a 'parody' of your post,  but you could correct 'definitely' without even noticing the substitute for 'parity'?!

Apologies to you both for being a pedant.

Definite is one of those tough ones.........  Along with receive (i before e except after c) and Wednesday, I'm just glad microsoft word finishes that day for me as soon as I hit W-E-D........

Got your back Logs.....

That's why your my boy!

Time for today's totally unrelated to basketball post...

Last thing on grammar:

darn do-gooders deem defintly deplorable...definately defiant, don't duck detractors

I'm not being touchy or defensive at all. Raymond doesn't play for my alma mater (in fact, he plays for my alma mater's archrival), so I have no vested interest in defending him. I'm simply warning you against the hubris that seems to be typical of D3 fans at this time of year. Fans tend to get a little too stoked up about their own teams and they sometimes dismiss opponents sight unseen as a result.

I will guard against the hubris (and the canabis, thank you Nancy Reagan) that seems to be typical of D3 fans at this time of year.  Thanks for the "Just Say No" to over confidence and blind faith addiction.

I'd change my icon ...



... but I'm afraid that I'd have to waste too much time constantly explaining myself on various boards.

ooh I didn't even see that. Misspelled words don't bother me that much really. I'm no English major. Just poking a little fun at Logs. 

But yes I think a win over Wheaton would be big. I feel like one West team winning over another West team doesn't do much for the West's reputation. But with every win over an East team (or close enough) we gain a little more respect.

"East"? Wheaton is in the Midwest Region of D3 men's basketball, and the midwestern region of the country. The closest route to the Atlantic Ocean from Wheaton is 850 miles. Never mind the spelling; what's needed in this room is a geography lesson.

Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do.

We really need something new to talk about. . . So, is Whitworth going to win over Wheaton?

Yes.  I would be surprised if Colin wasn't asked to guard Raymond.  Guarding Whitman last week was a good lesson in what it takes.  The 2nd half adjustments he made worked in containing him for the 1st tem minutes of the second half.  If he can guard like that all game, we might be able to keep Raymond below 25 pts.  Jurich is not out.  No reason to think that.  He can contribute and will.  Having Nate back, just gives us a very nice, very big option available.  It probably comes down to who is playing more confidently between the two.  Winner gets more PT.

I just updated my screensaver and desktop.  Now I realize the truth to why RR's brain went sideways.  Thanks Sager.

Well that's why I said "close enough." There might as well be a DIII ocean between Cali/Oregon/Washington and Minnesota/Iowa/Wisconsin

And only a short time ago (geologically speaking) there was!

Yeah, I know what you mean.  Especially the knees!

NWhoops,  did WW leave today?

I think it would be good to get over there and get used to the time difference, and be able to practice/shoot around in Hope's fieldhouse to get comfortable.
