WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

Well if it wasn't for the love I have for my child I would have been perfect on my picks   Just a side note. Earlham 33 3 pt shots RHIT 7 shots.   The girls are told not to shoot 3s unless shot clock is low. One reason they have so many turnovers is there required to work shot clock so they end up trying to make 7 passes every possession and it's not a strength.

I'm not taking the players off the hook they make ridiculous turnovers and to be straight up they should be embarrassed. These for the most part are girls who all had multiple options  some with free rides and they just look like they don't have a clue.  The announcer even tonight said you k ow there not a bad basketball team if you take away the turnovers.    Well guess what that's a part of basketball. 31 turnovers and they pressed the whole game but what makes the stat even more ridicule they only turned the ball over twice on the press 29 turnovers in the half court

Maybe the high altitude of mount Saint can get their damn eyes open

Lol I'm so mad posted on wrong board

Don't worry Jester . . . stuff happens.  Sounds like an IWU pressing game . . .

Glad to see the TITANS come through vs. NPU.  We'll need Shanks back later, esp. vs. WC.  A week off now . . . hope she recovers by EC game in a week's time.

[Ultimate Titan Fan]

I'm glad I went to the women's game tonight vs watching the men online. Sounds like the guys got a thrashing.

Titans have a pretty good record against NPU, but the Vikings came in with a strong 10-2 record, with one quality win over Coe. NPU plays well together, and they're especially good at drawing the defender and dumping off to the free girl in the paint. They were still in the game in the 3rd quarter.

Sosa is back on her game, and Monroe rotated in without missing a beat. Titans played to a size advantage and got a lot of points under the basket. Eck (5-11), who made her bones as a three shooter in high school, showed some nice moves down low, again, shooting over a smaller defender.

Titan defense stiffened in the 4th quarter, and they ran away with it. Freshman Katelyn Heller put in a quality 15 minutes. Given her point total, I bet she'll be more prominent in the rotation.

[Gregory Sager]

Don't know what happened to the post that I sent immediately after last night's game. Suffice it to say that it wasn't long -- just a recap of the individual totals and a statement of the obvious, which is that the Vikings absolutely laid an egg in the second half. They are clearly not where they need to be in order to contend, and the win at Wheaton is starting to look either like an anomaly or more a sign of Wheaton falling off than of NPU rising up.

The Vikings have a lot of work to do to start earning back some respect. Two blowout losses within the last two weeks is unacceptable for a team that has any aspirations beyond the regular season.

[iwu70]

Any word on Shanks out there. . . what the issue is and when she might be back??  Nice to have a week off now for rest, recouping.  Then, Elmhurst.  Titans taking care of business with some rotational players really getting valuable minutes and experience -- Eck, Lowis, Heller and Bowen.  With Lansford, a bright future for the Titans.  But, Shanks is almost indispensable down the stretch . . . her senior campaign.  IWU's only senior.

NCC/Carroll is getting moved up to 2pm tomorrow due to the weather.

[RogK]

Thanks, lmitzel.
the Augie at Millikin game has been moved to Sunday afternoon.
We've missed your analysis here, lmitzel. Your apparent choice to abandon NCC WBB in favor of time spent with family is egregious and preposterous. What the? 

[Gregory Sager]

NPU @ Elmhurst is likewise scheduled for 2 pm tomorrow.

Carthage @ Wheaton is still scheduled for 5 pm.

Oh trust me, I got yelled at a month and a half ago by the women's team after the first one I missed. Then I showed them a picture of my daughter and got the green light.

[lmitzel]

And Carthage-Wheaton is now postponed, makeup date/time TBD.
