Thanks, Rog.  I was going to respond to Jester, but couldn't recall the details on Sydney's outage.

Congrats to Catie Eck, new CCIW Player of the Week!

Congratulations to Catie, for breaking the near triopoly of Kendall, Jayla, and Hannah (9 of the 12 POW's until Catie).

New poll is up - again no votes for anyone in the CCIW.   Possibly if someone runs the table right thru the conference tourney, we'll get a few votes before the postseason, but I'm starting to think it will take someone making it to the second weekend to actually break into the top 25 (or even get any votes).

My congratulations to Catie Eck, portents of things to come in future years.  She had a very good week and can be a great help to the TITANS down the stretch here now.   The long long grind of a season coming to and end . . . let's hope 2 CCIW teams get bids this year.

I'll be very curious how many CCIW teams get regionally ranked tomorrow.  Could be just one - certainly no more than two.

I'm thinking that IWU gets ranked but NPU and Wheaton fall below.

IWU has strong SOS.  NPU better overall record but weaker SOS.  Wheaton SOS is fair - questionable whether it's enough.

Massey sez:

Augustana 71, @ North Central 65 (AC 66%, NCC 34%)
Carroll 64, @ Elmhurst 60 (CU 62%, EC 38%)
@ North Park 64, Carthage 57 (NPU 72%, CC 28%)
@ Illinois Wesleyan 74, Millikin 66 (IWU 73%, MU 27%)

Titan v. Millikin tip off moved up to 6 pm. Bad weather expected throughout Illinois starting around noon today (2/12/20)

Women's first Regional Rankings released.

NCAA Central region rankings :
(1) UW Whitewater, (2) UW LaCrosse, (3) Benedictine, (4) UChicago, (5) Wheaton, (6) Ill Wesleyan, (7) Wisc Lutheran, (8) Edgewood, (9) UW Eau Claire.
On the NCAA site, its says (as of now) "Through Games FEB. 10, 2019."
But the W-L records are those of 2019-20.
There are 71 teams listed, more than could fit in the tournament brackets.

I steeled myself to prepare for this, but it's nevertheless disappointing.

Just the first week ... after next week's rankings are published, they will basically mean nothing.

Pleasantly surprised for sure.  Wheaton h2h vs IWU was obviously determinant.  But as Dave said, it's only the first ranking.  Need to keep winning.

I steeled myself to prepare for this, but it's nevertheless disappointing.

#7         Wisconsin Lu  15-5; .750 / .527
(#10?)   North Park      17.5; .773 / .516

Looks pretty close to me except WiscLu has a lofty home win over DePauw (GL#2), their only loss.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Halftime in Decatur:  Millikin 35, IWU 31.  Main difference is Titans are shooting 36%, Big Blue 52%.

[Gregory Sager]

Millikin 75
Illinois Wesleyan 71

Much rejoicing in Chicago and Wheaton!

[iwu70]

Tough loss for the TITANS in Decatur.  I think it was 75-71 MU.

IWU:

Sosa 30
Lansford 16
Shanks 10

Some foul troubles for the TITANS, esp. Brovelli and Lowis

For MU:

Ratsch 14
Hildebrand 13
Staton 11
Fox 10 and 7

Great win for MU, proving how much they have risen and improved into the top tier of CCIW play.  Congrats to coach Lett and her team for this big win over IWU.  Long time coming . . .

Should be some great games in the CCIW tournament for the AQ.
