WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[RogK]

It hasn't been mentioned here yet that in Carthage's 53-48 win over DePauw, they were outrebounded 41-19. All of their other numbers added up to a victory anyway. Probably every one of the rebounds they got were needed, but they ultimately didn't need any more.

Mt. Union Sectional site has a link for broadcasts, indicates some radio links for the semis.  No sign there of video.  I've written the Mt. Union Sports Info folks to see if they are going to have a video link, streaming of some type.  Stay tuned.  Perhaps it's all controlled by the NCAA . . . and there may be a link via D3Hoops?  Not sure.  Would be too bad if no video link, only radio and Live Stats.

Looking forward to the weekend.

Yes, I saw that too.  They do have Stretch Internet, so maybe they just haven't posted the link yet.  Given the prominence of their football program, it would be surprising if they didn't have video.

It would also be incredibly frustrating, so please post if you get a reply!

Mount Union hasn't done video itself but we are hoping to staff that sectional this weekend. We'll let you know if we can finish putting a team together.

Ack!  When will you know, Pat?

This is part of the duties of hosting a regional. With great power comes great responsibility.

Yep, which is why we came to the call when UWRF needed us. Hope UWW doesn't need a lot of drama to get it done this week, BW!

Many many thanks, Pat.  Hope it can be worked out.  Perhaps Mia Smith could help, lending the IWU video team to come over and help Mt. Union do the video streaming.  But, it is Spring break week for IWU (starting after Friday), so perhaps students, volunteers or staff have other plans . . . like heading to Florida for beachtime or golf. 

Let us know.  Sure hoping to watch the IWU women . . . and wishing they have another weekend like last weekend.  A much more stern test this weekend, with Mount and the Lady Reds.  We already know how hard it is to beat Carthage.  Should be a great weekend of D3 women's hoops.  Your team, anyone covering this sectional will have the privilege of watching our Titans, and especially Olivia Lett, play.  Well worth streaming on the web somehow.

This isn't the coach's responsibility. She has plenty of other things to worry about.

Don't worry, we'll do what we can.

Pat, re:  Coach Smith, you are right.  That's the understatement of the year, given what she's been dealing with this year.  (and for this weekend too!), But, I'm sure she'd help out if she could with the video team. 

Anyway, hope it can be worked out with Mt. Union somehow.  Seems as host this should be part of the deal these days.

IWU fans who can't travel, for whatever reason, will be truly grateful.

I just left a voice message and then sent email to the SID at Mount Union.  I agree that providing coverage should be a requirement for hosting, especially when teams are being bused in from near the 500 mile limit.  Very frustrating.

I don't know why you would do that. That doesn't help anything, just adds to everyone's hassle and workload. I felt like I was being very open about how the process was going here, and this doesn't help.

I don't know what is wrong with it.  I wasn't unpleasant, and he doesn't have to answer either an email or a voice mail if he doesn't want to.  I don't expect an answer.  But I think they should know that people from other schools want to see the games.  Clearly they have the capability to broadcast.

I was not being critical of you, Pat.  Yes, you clearly said that you are trying to help.  That's great, and I'm sure others appreciate it as much as I do.  The d3hoops broadcast from Hope was excellent last weekend; probably you will do a better job than most schools can do.

According to Massey, IWU and Carthage are #1 and #2 in Strength of Schedule:

We won't be able to come anywhere near to that. We are looking at one camera, commentators, no graphics.
