WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[CCIWFAN10]

RogK and CCIWalum03:

I am new to the postings.   I have been reviewing all the of the postings regarding player of the year and all conference selections and am looking forward to tomorrow's anouncements.  I am hoping that NC, although not likely, does receive 2 selections for the All-Conference Team.  Yes, NC's team would be  totally different without Karl, however, the team would be totally different without Errico and Newson, as well.  I agree, Karl is among the best point guards in the conference, maintaining composure and handling the pressure with fewer turnovers than Errico.  The conference stats reflect Karl's talent with being 3rd in the conference in steals and 5th in assist/turnover ratio.  Errico's talents show with her being 4th in conference in scoring and rebounding, 5th in steals, 7th in free throw %, 8th in 3-pt made and 10th in 3-pt %.  Both Karl and Errico were major contributors to their team in their own way and I wish them both luck in the All-Conference Team selection, along with all of the other players that are up for consideration.

Welcome here, CCIWFAN10,
I hope you and others interested in North Central will post some reports on Cardinal games next season.
In regard to the all-CCIW team that I proposed, whom would you eject to make room for Errico?
Incidentally, there's a decent chance that Karl and Errico will get voted on, because it's unlikely that two teams would get 4 players each, like mine allows.
Also, you will find that I do compliment Jackie on these pages. She's a very good player.

If the coaches wanted to apportion all-conference spots based on team  wins in conference games, and nobody said they should, but if they wanted to, it would take 3.7333 wins to earn a spot (56 conference games / 15 all-CCIW spots).
The results :
IWU 3.48, Carth 3.21, Elmh 2.68, Mill 2.41, Whe 1.61, Aug - NC - NP .54 each.

Thank you, RogK.  I plan to continue following the conference and the postings.  I hope there is more interest next year.  It appears that there are many viewers and the blog would be interesting  with more participants.

My intention was not to eject anyone from your proposed All-Conference Team.  All players named are deserving and as you are aware, there are several other deserving  players that will be passed over.

There is the possibility that that there may be a tie as did ocur with the Men's CCIW All-Conference Team which allowed for a 16th player.  I believe that we are all anxious to see the results tomorrow.  It will be interesting to see how everyone's predictions pan out.

You appear to have great interest and knowledge in basketball and the CCIW and I have enjoyed reading your postings and comments this season.  Again, I wish the best to all the girls in the All-Conference and POY selctions.

Thanks to you, CCIWFAN10, for your nice words.
Whoever wins MOP (assuming she's from one of the four teams playing today) will appreciate it, but will be even more interested in getting a win later on.
Safe travels to all the players, family and fans heading to and from Bloomington!

I think these teams are very good. Congratulations to all!

Congratulations to the all-CCIW team, Most Outstanding Player Lyndsie Long and the co-Coaches of the Year, Ms Smith and Mr Bernero!
The coaches did a good job with the selections. All are very deserving. And of course, there wasn't room for every good player we have in the conference.

It's kind of strange to see 3 centers in the first team  How does that happen?

It's kind of strange to see 3 centers in the first team  How does that happen?

d3hoops.com, for the AA teams, insists on a team which could actually take the court.  Clearly, the CCIW chooses to select simply the top five players, regardless of position.

I suggested precisely this top 5 a week or so ago, and posters agreed, despite noting they'd have trouble bringing the ball up the court!

It's not done by position. It's voted on by the coaches based on who they think the best players in the league are. There is no doubt that Jacklin, Wildman, and Solari are first-teamers.
