jdoug - Got a chance to visit with Lauren yesterday. The new pt. is very athletic but small and a true freshmen. They have a juco transfer who will help inside. Reale is coming along well, trying to get used to playing with a brace. I think they will be competitive. At this time I don't see them challenging MU.

Jack, I think we saw Ippel 2 years ago in the same tourney. I know Millikin is tough. Most of Fontbonne's schedule is pretty rugged. Hopefully it will help the girls for conference play.

Lauren has mentioned the juco transfer. And I think Michelle will be a good addition after missing last year. I'm sure they can be competitive with most of the conference. I'm hoping for a little more. Need to  make Maryville sweat a little.

From what I hear the pg from last yr at Maryville has the possibility of coming back next semester. I guess if their coach is really good, he/she can keep the streak alive even without tons of returning players.

Hey JDoug2. I actually just wanted to let you know that Kasey Schultz was actually the starting two guard from last year. Courtney Bergheger is starting point guard. And just wanted to put it out there that Maryville actually beat UMSL on Saturday. It was a really exciting game to watch.

Thanks bballfan. I didn't even know Maryville had a game already. It's getting that time. Can't wait to get up there in a few weeks.

SLIAC Pre Season Coaches Poll is now up on sliac.org.

[jdoug2]

Hey, Fontbonne got one first place vote. I guess the Maryville coach doesn't believe in voting themselves number 1. I think that's coach etiquette. 

Looks like you can listen to the Fontbonne vs Wisc. Lutheran game on their website.

Jdoug - It is conference policy for each school to rank the other nine schools from 1-9. So it's pretty much a sure thing who MU voted for.

[jdoug2]

I see. Thanks fcnews. I guess I'll see you later in the season.

Just so you Fontbonne followers know, WLC's team lost only one senior to graduation and 2 other players from off the bench. Four starters return, with 3 new players (1 freshman and 2 sophomores.) Should be an interesting matchup.

[jdoug2]

The first game of the year is always interesting. Seems like there is hardly ever a middle ground. Either the team comes out blazing, or is pretty ineffective. Here's hoping Fontbonne comes out guns a blazing.

Good to hear from you WLC. Appreciate the inside information.

[jdoug2]

Good luck to all the SLIAC. I'll be pulling for all of you until conference play begins.


GO FONTBONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jdoug2]

My computer is not letting me hear the Fontbonne game. I'm pissed.

[jdoug2]

And why isn't the "scoreboard" on this site updated? It still lists 2006/2007 season.

Can you tell I'm frustrated.

[jdoug2]

I have the game now.
