WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[RogK]

Jester1390, I think all of us could be interested in your kid's comparisons of opponents that we see in D3.
She certainly has guarded some great players in high school and college.
If RHIT somehow plays Millikin this or next season, pass along to us how Knudsen or Coffman are seen skill-wise vs Sosa.
Of course, our CCIW players and coaches have a more first-hand educated opinion of the league's players than we spectators can have.
But that's not going to stop us from being interested and expressing opinions on what we've observed.

Wednesday's game will also be the 3rd in 5 days for North Park, although not as much time on the bus in between.

True, but that bus ride that the Vikings will be taking to Rock Island today is nothing to scoff at.

Augie is a good rebounding team, and NPU struggles on the boards, so I'm looking forward to seeing how Amanda Crockett's troops rise to that challenge at Carver this evening.

lol i guess out of site out of mind on here. Sosa's body is barely warm and already being derided.  I don't know anything about the other player but I will tell you something I trust over all us middle age men on here.   My kid who I think most people who have seen her play would say is a very good defender if not excellent has guarded Paige Bueckers. Mckenna Hofschild,  Gabby Hack the clark girl from Iowa among many others. Told me that Sosa had the quickest release of any player she has ever guarded.

Nobody's deriding anybody. Sosa was a great player. Knudsen is on her way to being a much better one. That's not derision directed at Sosa, that's acknowlegment of the fact that Knudsen's ceiling as a D3 player is in the stratosphere. (I'm baffled that she's not playing on scholarship somewhere.) Again, she was d3hoops.com's Central Region Freshman of the Year last season. She was far beyond what Sosa was as a freshman, and she's presently far beyond what Sosa was as a sophomore. In the here-and-now Knudsen has no weakness in her game at this level -- none. She dominates when she's on the floor. And she's only going to get better. That's why I implied that she's a legitimate threat to become the first player in CCIW women's basketball history to win the MOP three times.

Since you haven't seen Knudsen play, then you're not really qualified to challenge this, are you?

questions for Greg :
Any word on Josie Summerville? Might she return this season? Did she have knee surgery?
--
Do you expect the Vikings to beat the Vikings tonight?

[Gregory Sager]

No comment on Josie.

As for your second question ... no, I expect the Vikings to beat the Vikings instead.

[Jester1390]

Poor Greg.  Sarcasms and joking escapes you.  You did see I started the sentence with  Lol.  I can always count on you to make something nefarious when it's obvious I'm frolicking in jocularity

[RogK]

You conceal your humor very well, Jester1390. Virtually no one on the planet could detect it.

Looks like the two games are going ahead tonight:

IWU at Elmhurst
North Park at Augustana. 

Then, Wednesday, IWU travels to North Park.

Some key road games for IWU.  Lots of hours on the bus.

Sosa pilling up the awards, back at the Shirk on the 15th to receive her well-deserved honors from last season . . . and a very recent NCAA honor too. . .  see the IWU sports site.

P.S.  I have Alabama over Georgia, again. . .

I predict the Vikings will be either tied or lead the entire game . .

. . . and actually, this is meant as a joke in case anyone was wondering.

[RogK]

GoPerry, your post is the most unheard of thing I ever heard of! 
Good thing I didn't go to Elmhurst today. Fans policy revised today and effective today :

If any IWU fans made the trip, they might be a bit annoyed at the short notice.

[lmitzel]

NCC just made that change today too. Thankfully doesn't impact anyone tonight, but will be pretty sparse on Wednesday.

Congrats to Elyce Knudsen, new CCIW Player of the Week.
She is the first player so far this season to receive the honor twice.

Wheaton and Millikin each got 3 points worth of votes

IWU 55 EU 28, at the half.

The Titans ripping the Bluejays apart, with run and jump.  Bluejays only dressing 8 players.

Everyone come down . . .
