Hello to all.  Time for another great (no doubt) NWC season.  Yes the Pirates got it right last night and never trailed.  Riley took charge and kept shooting.  Fortunately they were nearly all going in.  He even had one 4 pt play.  Good to see the new players fitting in, except I don't know the deal with Felix last night.  Must be something, cause he will be a contributor this year is what I hear.

Looks like LC has a big game tonight.  I sure am thinking about heading there tonight.  Anyone else?

NWHoops,

Good to hear from you again.  Wow, pretty good line for Riley.  How did he get his points, besides the 24 that came on 3's?

Good game for the Pios last night. Probably one of the few I will be able to attend as I work nights now :( Papenfuss had a big game with 21. The Pios led most of the second half and extended their lead out to 15 at one point but then CSUEB went to the press and starting making a little comeback. The Pios are pretty raw. At one point there were three freshmen and on sophomore who never played last year on the floor. They have some talent though. They will miss Rivera on both ends. Rebounding looks like it will be an issue as will giving up a lot of layups. In other words, they are small. If they play a team with a real center it won't be pretty. As for the highly touted Warhawks they play tonight...I have no clue. They could get smoked by 30 or win by one. It is hard to say at this point of the season. Berggren only shot 5 threes last night! That has to be the fewest he has taken in his career, which I see as a good thing. However, I fear the Pios may take a lot more threes tonight if they are way smaller than the Warhawks.

Hey LogShow.  Good to be back. 

Riley had 6 three's for 18 pts, and only 2 FT's.  The 3's were all in the second half as well as 2 jumpers. 4 layins and an OFF Reb put back were during the first half.  Riley's game couldn't have been more opposite first to second half.  In fact, I don't think you could say he played that well first half.  Made up for it though in a big way second half.

Wow, 6 3's in the second half...that is a bunch.  It will be interesting to see if he keeps on scoring (besides 3's) in the games to come.

Whitworth wins at John Hopkins  70-60.  Close game til the last 5 minutes when WW pulls away.  2 wins in Non-conference to start the season.  Riley MVP of tourney.

Different night, different player stepping up.  Way to go Montgomery.  Congrats to the Bucs on the tourney championship and Riley for tourney MVP.

Any idea why Felix only got 3 minutes per game? Injury?  Waiting for maturity?

Montgomery with 19 tonight, Riley had 16, Nakamura had 14.

Sounds like Felix isn't playing as much because of, A. the way montgomery has stepped up the last two games and B. he is still a little raw.  Now word on an injury, Hayford has never gone deep into his bench and with Montgomery and Jurich being able to put in good minutes he hasn't felt a need to go with Felix I'm guessing.  Hopefully he gets some work in LA, I'd like to see him ready to play at this level come conference play.

Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.

Sure looking good so far.

Montgomery is going to be a handful if he can stay healthy.  He is big, quick and has range.
Lots of speculation and questions about a guy who played <10 minutes in two games..two games WW won.  I guess this is all good.  Felix has been hyped up so much and if he will contribute, great!  WW will be even stronger.   
My hope is that Felix is simply sick with the flu or Hayford has him watching games so he understands how WW plays basketball.  WW has a program/system and you either do it or you don't play no matter how good your "skills" are or how big or tall you might be.  That's my guess at Felixism for tonight.

The Pios lost by ten to the number four team in the nation today. Not bad at all. Apparently the Pios played very poorly in the second half and the Warhawks pulled away. Sounds like the Pios put up a good effort. The Warhawks shot above 60% from the field and behind the arc. Hard to beat that. Meanwhile the Pios only shot 28% from behind the arc.
