Though Coach, sorry to say.... I gotta root for the tourney to be in St Louis for personal travellin' purposes.....

in the tourney though - I only want to see 3 1 point decisions - gotta see the coaches earn their $$$$

To be honest with you, Blackburn has played the last two years in St. Louis for the tourney, and we feel that it is time for it to be in IL.

It's gonna be tough to get the tourney to Carlinville.

Well coach, while i appreciate your diplomacy, if BC takes care of business, winning at Fontbonne and not allowing the rest of the pack to upset you, I have to think Webster will get bumped.... and the dome will be cookin come the end of February!! (Which is awesome considering the beavs started the season 1-8 - it pays to schedule tough and learn to appreciate the wins when they start to come)

ugh the Beavs lose to Eureka... hard to understand..... just shows how unpredictable things are....

actually....blackburn did not lose the game against Eureka. The score that was posted was incorrect. Blackburn won the game 74-58.....

That's true, Blackburn beat Eureka tonight, the final score was posted wrong by the Eureka staff. Sorry to all that thought that Blackburn had lost.

Congrats Coach Dubb! 5 Games in a row..keep it hot!

In a morning that hasn't started off too well at work, the revelation of a reversal of the BC - EC score quickly put a smile on my face!!!!

So nothing changes in the standings last night - Webster Font tied for first, BC one game back

Wow I'm asking a women's SLIAC Basketball question. Caught the last half of the Fontbonne v Westminster game. Westminster is a big team and shoots well. Fontbonne is just fun to watch. Had to look at a program to see names. Kendra Schilli is my kind of player. Callista Collier is high energy and gets to the ft. line and shoots the ball well. Kaitlin Brammel can play basketball. She may turn out to be one of the best pts. I have paid attention to.

Any comments on POY or All Conference? What needs to transpire for the tournament to be in the STL?

If you go by stats, then this year should be an easy vote: Lindasy Sydness from Principia. Leads conference in scoring, rebounds, blocks and in top 15 in fg%

hopefan · February 05, 2010, 07:46:11 AM

ahhh but coach, once again the same old arguement -- do you go with a straight stats person whose team has made no noise in the race for a conference tourney spot, or do you go with less stats but a player who has led their team to the tourney....

hopefan · February 05, 2010, 01:39:22 PM

It's my opinion that while there are a lot of games left to be played, the winner of the Fontbonne - Blackburn game on Feb 13th will likely be the host of the women's conf tourney....

illini22 · February 05, 2010, 01:55:31 PM

I'm going to have to agree with that statement. The last meeting between Blackburn and Fontbonne proved to be a great game. This time around....the game should be even more exciting as both Blackburn and Fontbonne are playing great basketball at this point. I believe your conference champion will be defined by this game.....remember February 13th!

Thanks hopefan for the added pressure....I am sure Coach Dubb and Coach Quigley needed this extra pressure. Blackburn has not won at Fontbonne during Coach Williams tenure....

Hopefan, if this young lady is dominating the conference in so many catagories, then why should she not be the choice? Speer did the same thing last year and won this award, and Prin did not finish in the top 4.
