WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Gregory Sager]

Oh, I don't think that any speculation is necessary at all.

Molly McGraw was a very good player; not sure about Molly McGuire!

Molly McGuire was a very strong player in the Pennsylvania anthracite region. 

That is hilarious! Was her coach Jack Kehoe?

Yes, but they lost in the finals to Pinkerton U.

[RogK]

Carthage evened up at 1-1 with a 71-64 win over Fontbonne.
Madie Kaelber surpassed 1000 career points, leading the Reds with 19 off of 13 FG att (.731 eFG%).
Haley Ahr had 11 pts, 3 assists, 12 rebs.

Interesting that the NFL has the Bears/Rams game at night on Sunday, to avoid going up against Greg's afternoon broadcast of the NPU Tip-Off Tourney.

[Gregory Sager]

I'm not broadcasting the NPU Tip-Off Tourney, Rog. Much as I'd love to under normal circumstances, it's being pre-empted. NPU is hosting a pod in the D3 men's soccer tourney this weekend, and the Saturday and Sunday times for those soccer matches in the stadium happen to coincide with the basketball games in the gym two blocks away. Naturally, the D3 tourney matches take precedence, so I'll be broadcasting Vikings men's soccer instead of Vikings women's basketball. I'll have to hear about the NPU Tip-Off Tourney secondhand, just like everybody else who isn't sitting in the gym will.

Greg, I know you are a good broadcaster, so I hope you get as frustrated as I do when there are no announcers and the cameras refuse to show the score board during time outs especially when there is no on screen display.    The announcer just started announcing the game and spoke for about 5 minutes before giving the score.  He just said Wheaton was leading by 14 when he started.
Live stats were not working.  just had to air my frustration.

[Gregory Sager]

Yes, the no-announcers thing is annoying -- at least let a student give it a go. If he or she is terrible, viewers always have the option of muting the sound. But there's no excuse for not focusing the camera on the scoreboard during TOs and halftime if your feed does not include a score graphic.

Yeah wheels I hear you.  Normally not as big an issue if live stats is working (and updating).  But neither was going for the first half of the LF/Wheaton game.

In their defense, Wheaton is also hosting the D3 Womans NCAA Soccer first round concurrently.  And they were providing pbp announcing for that game, Wooster vs Case Western going at the same time, that went to 2OTs and then pks( the Scots advance 4-3).  Wheaton played the earlier match.  They also provided live stats for that also.

I think Julie Davis, Brett Marhanka and Rusty Lindsey would be the first to say they should be able to handle all that.  But its definitely a busy day for them.  Also hosting the Lee Pfund Mens tonight.

By the way, Alma over Wisc Lutheran in the first game, 69-63, was a bit if a surprise.

[RogK]

Wheaton held Lake Forest to 26 pts for the first three quarters and won with ease, 73-50.
The Thunder scored 30 pts from 30 3FG att.
Hannah Frazier had 17 pts, 9 rebs, 4 stls; Jill "Hannah" Berg had 5 blocks and 10 rebs, while Hannah Swider scored a quick 14 in 19:00. Hannah Williams played 20 minutes in her return from injury.

[RogK]

UW Oshkosh topped Augie 65-46. A 4 pt 2nd quarter more or less sank Augie.
Alexis Jones had 9 rebs and 10 pts.

LOL!  Seems like everyone else on the Thunder is named Hannah, why should she be left out?!

[RogK]

Illinois Wesleyan today used a 32-6 2nd quarter to propel them to an 84-75 win over UW Stout.
Kendall Sosa continued her outstanding scoring, tallying 25 via overall very good shooting.
The Titans got 20 pts, 5 assists and 3 steals from Sydney Shanks.
Riley Brovelli had 18 pts, 11 rebs, 4 assists. Not bad.
Samantha Monroe had 16 pts and 7 assists.
The IWU bench saw only 27 minutes of action.

The downside is that Stout outscored them 69-52 the other three quarters.

A good season cannot be achieved on one-quarter bursts!

Oh, well.  I'll stop being Debby Downer - a win is a win.

Wheaton 73  Lake Forest 50

Hannah Frazier  17 pts, 9 rebs, 2 blocks, 4 stls
Hannah Swider  14 pts, 4-8 3FG
Kirsten Madsen  11 pts
Jill Berg            7 pts, 10 rebs, 5 blks

Adia Maund   13 pts 4 reb

This was pretty dominating performance for the Thunder tonight.  Hannah Williams returned to the lineup for the first time this season and it was good to have her out there. Another solid game by Swider who is making good so far on elevating her play to deserve regular rotation minutes.  Taylor Sanders is giving some quality minutes also.
