Jester, happy wandering.  I have no interest in reliving that game.  It is well-hashed over . . .

Moving on . . . as usual.

IWU-Elmhurst, men and women, this week.  Some more great and interesting basketball.

I highly recommend Q's recent Q-cast with Ari Lamm.  Good stuff.

Again, Happy New Year to all . . . stay safe, healthy and vertical.

man the snobbery on this page is unbelievable.  I will retire from here.  Just be my little old self on HCAC page. Nothing but the best fellas

Wow, that retirement lasted a whopping 31 hours. You should expect an imminent call from the people at the Guinness Book of World Records.

And now we're back to CCIW action. This is Wednesday's welcome-back sked:

Augustana (7-5, 1-2) @ North Central (4-8, 1-2)
Carroll (9-3, 1-3) @ Carthage (8-4, 3-1)
Elmhurst (2-10, 0-4) @ Illinois Wesleyan (6-6, 3-0)
North Park (8-3, 1-2) @ Wheaton (10-2, 2-2)

The Millikin players and coaches will probably be glued to their laptops watching either CU @ CC (especially in light of Carroll's big win over UWW) or NPU @ WC.

Millikin at Eureka 6pm tonight.

Thanks for the update, Rog. Good to see that the Big Blue were able to pick up that postponement from Sunday so quickly.

Gives me something to watch this evening!

You're welcome.
I am confused about North Park being 1-2 instead of 1-1 in CCIW play.
When they didn't have enough players (right?) to play at Augustana, I thought it would be an Augustana win for CCIW purposes (but not recognized by the NCAA) and nothing (no contest) for North Park. It has changed to a loss for CCIW purposes?
We used to have access to each sport's Administrative Information on the cciw site, but that is now inexplicably password-protected content.

I haven't heard that it was a matter of not having enough players. I was simply told that the team wasn't going to travel to Rock Island because of Covid protocols.

I'm a bit confused on that point myself.

Greg, I think the IWU women's game vs. Elmhurst is AT Elmhurst, this Wednesday.  The men's game here at The Shirk.  A small correction on your schedule for this week.  I expect the Titans to go to 4-0 on the CCIW card . . .

Hopefully, all the absent players with positive tests earlier will be back, recovered . . . and hopefully no new ones about.

after rose just went through testing this week I was told you had to have 8 players dressed not to forfeit. I dont know if that's 100 percent but that's what i was told

 I'm pretty sure that Covid-19 no-contest rules are league-based, so what one league does will not apply to teams in another league. Of course, some leagues will choose similar or identical policies in this regard.

I'm pretty sure that Covid-19 no-contest rules are league-based, so what one league does will not apply to teams in another league. Of course, some leagues will choose similar or identical policies in this regard.

FWIW: here is the MIAA policy:

Rescheduling due to COVID-19...
If a contest is unable to be played due to factors surrounding COVID-19, that contest will be declared "postponed" until it has been determined there are no options to reschedule.  Contests must be rescheduled in the order of the first canceled contest and proceed chronologically through the remainder postponed contests from the original schedule.

If teams are unable to reschedule...
The COVID-19 affected team will be appointed a conference loss.  However, if the team affected by COVID-19 is cleared to play and the opponent is unwilling to play on dates that are available, the opponent will record a conference loss.  If both teams have confirmed COVID-19 cases exceeding the NCAA threshold and are deemed unable to play by local health officials, both teams record a conference loss.

The win/loss will only be reflected in the conference standings, not in official NCAA standings or statistics. Therefore this policy will not affect any possible selections for "at large" bids into NCAA postseason tournaments.

Congrats to Katie Evans, new CCIW Player of the Week.

The North Park athletic department has updated its spectator policy in order to comply with the dictates of City Hall.
