WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[RogK]

Enginerd, I think you described it well with the "really showed some flashes" phrase.
Post player Nosa Igiehon is extremely agile for a 6-footer. She picked up some quick fouls, but she'll learn how to avoid them. The other tall players all looked useful, none of 'em clumsy. Our new writer Jester1390 was there and assured me that his 6-foot daughter will start hitting her threes; I think tall 3FG-shooters can be quite valuable. Her assist was an excellent crosscourt zip pass.
Guard Desirae Webster made some mistakes handling the ball, but could become a nice quick point guard.
Another medium-sized guard Nola Wilson scored from distance and closer in, giving me the impression she can do much more of that type of production.
Having such a small group of players, RHIT probably has to restrict its defensive aggressiveness this season to avoid getting too many players in foul trouble. They may want to avoid high-possession fast-paced games for the same reason.
UChicago could've won by a bigger margin, but used their bench quite a bit. At the same time, RHIT didn't look nervous at all, despite their youth. RHIT chose to clog the lane defensively, which gave Chicago numerous good looks from 3-land and they converted a good pct of them.
What RHIT probably has to worry most about is wear and tear and injury. Hopefully no player plays hurt to "be a good teammate" risking more long-lasting injury.

Rog it was very nice to meet you at the game. I agree with your assessment except for Chicago did go to the bench about 4 minutes into 4th and the lead was 24.  Rose then proceeded to get. The lead down to 12 and missed a 3 to make it a 9 pt game with 2:50 to go   The. Chicago put the starters back In and like a really good team stepped on the throats  my daughter said that was the fastest game she has ever played in

I was talking to the girls after and told them
It was a credit to them that they forced Chicago to have to put the starters back in. Also Chicago has class players and class fans.  In berea the student section was calling our players names that you shouldn't say to women or anyone for that matter

The girls are bonding and the chemistry is developing. I would rather see them get their asses handed to them against really good teams to show them where they need to get to. Then play a bunch of creampuffs to get easy Victories and not develop  Hopefully they won't end up being the creampuffs for everyone after watching the last game I don't think that will be the case

Likewise, Jester1390 ... enjoy your travels to the various gyms!

Wheaton edges UC Santa Cruz  73-70

Hannah Frazier      38 pts, 13 rebs, 3 stls
Jill Berg               9 rebs, 5 blks
Jordan Myroth      9 pts,  4 rebs, 7 asst, 2 blks

Kaylee Murphy      16 pts, 18 rebs
CJ Catina              11 pts
Ashley Kowack      20 pts

Looks like it was all Hannah Frazier on the offensive end of things.  Little contribution from anyone else.

[Jester1390]

Lol because 16 points and 18 rebounds isn't a help at all that woman needs to step it up more

Murphy, Catina and Kowack are UC Santa Cruz  players . . .

[Jester1390]

My bad I stand corrected

Seems Hannah Frazier recovered from her supposed injury pretty fast!   

Happy Thanksgiving to all the CCIW chatsters.  And, holiday greetings upcoming from the Far Side, from Hong Kong.

I'm back to CUHK (Hong Kong) now, our campus recovering quickly from the police siege and recent violent confrontations here and on several other HK campuses.  Let's hope the current lull, calm in protests at least in part caused by the stunning local elections outcome, will give us a positive political pathway to a more peaceful solution to Hong Kong's crisis.

Looking forward to the TITANS in St. Louis this weekend.

Dam IWU has almost more coaches then RHIT has players

[RogK]

Is that "Dam IWU" or "Dam, IWU..."?
Over here on the CCIW pages, we don't easily forgive punctuation errors!
Misspellings can be overlooked.

[Jester1390]

My daughter is the smart one I'm just ex military we don't have time to worry about grammar

[Jester1390]

Rog.  Tranny just blew 15 pt lad and lost to maryville on their home court by 7

[RogK]

Is that good or bad? I see Maryville was 4-1 going into that game. The CCIW is the only conference I follow closely (and only WBB).

Ripon 63-48 over Carroll :
Katie Evans 10 pts, Alyssa Cruz 5 assists.
Augie 80, Webster 56 :
Alexis Jones 19 pts (.727 eFG%), 13 rebs, 5 stls, 4 assists = not bad at all. Gabriela Loiz 14 pts, 6 stls. Lauren Hall 9 rebs; Jeni Crain 13 pts; Mia Lambert 3/4 3FG.
IWU 68-34 over Rose-Hulman :
Kendall Sosa 19 pts (1.056 eFG%, 19 pts from 9 FG att) hopefully her early 4th Q foot injury was minor. Samantha Munroe 17 pts, 3 assists. Brooke Lansford 11 pts. Sydney Shanks 7 assists, 5 rebs.

[Jester1390]

I hope Kendall Sosa is ok she collided with a RHIT player in 4th quarter and had to be helped off and parents saw her leave on crutches. She is some kind of shooter hope it's not a season injury
