JrMint - Lately, the best dressed MU students I've seen, have been on the "Hill" at soccer games. No Hot Dogs, though. You think yelling gets out of hand? Anyone. Attend an important soccer match. LOL

Hopefan, thanks for the kind words concerning Lauren. I got a text from her last night about the game. She was excited about the win and looking forward to the rematch Thursday.

Any predictions on the playoffs?

My picks are Font over West. And Maryv over Blck.

For the championship....... Fontbonne with a huge upset.

I have not gained much credibility in predicting the women's games, but I say Maryville wins it all by beating Blackburn and then Westminster after WC knocks FU out. I should add that this prognostication is not the way I would like it to be, but the way I think it will be.

Eureka ended the season with a 76-55 over MacMurray Tuesday to sweep the season series. Mac was up 51-49 with about 7:30, but Eureka finished the game on a 27-4 run. Lindsey Crum scored 15 points in the last 6 minutes. It was a nice way to send off EC senior Kim Downs, who hopefully will see her name on the All Defensive team. Eureka finished the season with just 5 wins, but 3 came in the last 5 games, so maybe something can be taken into the offseason and we'll have a better year in 2009-10.

Will any other posters be joining me at the women's semis tonite (besides Coach Dubb)

for you newbies, I'll be behind MU bench (far bench) about half way up... Feel free to say hi......

Looking forward to meeting Coach Dubb......

Incidently - thanks to EC for giving us his forecast of All conference on the women's side - I'll not attempt that task, as I simply am not that familiar with several of the teams - teams that evidently have some of the best players in the league....

HOWEVER - my opinion is that Fontbonne is going to feel grossly unappreciated when they review EC's prognostications. Here's a team tied for 2nd, who played Maryville to margins of 7 and 3... Having seen them a number of times this year, I've got to think that Calli Collier, and possibly Mallory Ludwig deserve some kind of recognition..... If there was an all frosh team, Kendra Shilli would be a leading candidate..

Hey Eureka SID, please explain to me how Vollmer (top 3 in conference in points and rebounds) not be 1st team all conference. Secondly, how can Hawkey not be 1st Team?

dynasty22 · February 26, 2009, 02:37:50 PM

Hopefan - Though we have met before I will be at the game tonight. Hope to get a chance to meet up!

hopefan · February 26, 2009, 03:28:47 PM

Coach, you need to be concentrating on why your team got blown out on Tuesday and how you're going to turn it around tonight, not the trivial baloney like fans wagging their rears when your kids are shooting foul shots (as you posted after tuesday's game) or who someone thinks is All conference (as you have posted before tonight's game).

Coming on here and being professional and building up the team or the league or discussing basketball philosophy is great - is much appreciated by me - but getting involved in the other stuff, especially in season at THIS TIME of the SEASON, is a tad (alot) bizarre......

Coach I'm not quite as up on the players as either you or Eureka Sid but I'd say he's got it pretty close. I'd say Lowe would be first team before Vollmer. I'm surprised with her shooting and points that Lowe wouldn't be higher on Ft percentage?
Vollmer is 4th in conference in pts per gm as of the last game

I think Crum doesn't get quite enough credit but I'll have to admit I'm biased of course as I'm her father LOL

Coach Will · February 26, 2009, 06:17:19 PM

Hopefan, whats gonna happen will happen....Either the team is ready to play or not. Me coming on here to share my ideas has nothing to do with me being ready or not. It does not matter who does what on the sidelines, I was merely setting the record str8. Win or lose, my team will play hard! So sit back and enjoy the game. I do want to thank you for worrying about me and my mindset for the game. Being born and raised on the westside of chicago has taught me to be calm, and not worry about things that I can't control! Make sure you come over and introduce yourself, as it will be great to put a face with a name.

Good luck to all four teams tonight, and stay healthy!

jdoug2 · February 26, 2009, 08:41:05 PM

Hopefan, I have to agree with you concerning Font not having much rep on eurekasids list. Font did finish second in conf and is the only team to play Maryville tough twice. Calli Collier has to get some love as well.

jdoug2 · February 26, 2009, 08:58:27 PM

Fontbonne with a convincing win 71-52. Since Font is not really know for defense... was West just really off tonight ?
