WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I'm always amazed when teams post rosters before Oct 15. I've been around d3 too long to count any student athletes before they've officially practiced.

We are all familiar with the phrase "top of the key."
Here's an early photo of Bartlett Gymnasium at the University of Chicago where the "key" shape is evident :

Lauren Hall sang the national anthem at tonight's Cubs game.
But it wasn't the famous Augustana forward; one of the other Lauren Halls.

Rogk   doing scouting for the upcoming  tournament  it looks like IWU loss 48 pts a game to graduation

[RogK]

Indeed, Brovelli, Lowis, Munroe and Sosa combined for 472 pts in the Titans' 10 games, accounting for 47.2 of the team 68.6 average.
This could make scouting a bit difficult, not knowing who will likely be prominent scorers in '21-'22.

My immediate thought: oh, good - so everyone but Kendall Sosa is returning!  

My second thought: hold on, she was the greatest since national POY Olivia Lett, but even she didn't average 48 pts per game - just seemed like it sometimes!

[RogK]

Kendall did score 47 on Feb 9.

Elmhurst's new schedule :

I'm pleased to see several Saturday games starting at 2pm rather than 5pm.

[Gregory Sager]

NPU has likewise gone to a 2 pm women / 4 pm men schedule for CCIW Saturday doubleheaders.

Indeed, IWU will need to find some new scorers.  My guess is Lansford, Heller and perhaps Bowen.  Maybe the new freshman trey threat too.  It could be a work in progress early, surely a re-building year after all the key senior losses, departures, esp. Sosa.   Still looking forward, a new season, a new adventure for Coach Smith and the Titan faithful.

Much less worry on the men's side . . . a terrific group, a very large group, coming back . . .
