Region 9 men's basketball / Re: MBB: American Rivers Conference

Central beats Wartburg 81-49 on the road. All starters out with more than 7 minutes left. Central clears the bench. Truly dominant performance by the Dutch. Curren scores 19 off the bench. What a break out game! To be fair, I don’t think Wartburg has shot that poorly in years. Strange how often an entire team can have the same off night with shooting. I hope Central’s off night is in the rear view mirror for the season. Sure looking forward to watching Curren develop.

I knew it was coming eventually. Brad Curren is having a night for Centrsl with 17 points at the half as a sub. 5 of 8 from 3 pt range. Van Gorp with a double double at the half. Dutch lead by 16 or 18 at the half. Wartburg with no commentary, shows Central up 40-22 at half. Listening to Central radio coverage and according to the radio we are up 40-24.

Congratulations on a huge win today. Hard as it was  ;) I was cheering for you all the way. If you thought the commentary was bad for the football game, there is zero commentary for the women’s basketball game. They are doing a better job with the camera though. I am back to happily cheering against you now. Hoping there is commentary for the men’s game. I feel like I am missing Christmas with Wartburg, but getting a full day with knight vision.  :) Go Dutch!

Good luck next weekend and for however long you play. I am flying to Florida for a two week cruise next Saturday so I will be one less fan in the video stands for the next one or two weeks.

Agree again Sparty. That said forget what I just said as the Dutch blow 18 pt lead they had at the half tonight at BV and Steinkamp was there. Not sure what he was thinking leaving three starters on the bench while the lead disappeared. I know with a big lead you want to get some other guys playing time, but don’t risk the game for it. Dutch come away with a win, I think it was 83-76. But it is a road win against a team that used to consistently be at or near the top. We will take it. Grant Johnson with a deserved technical tonight for taking the ball to a BV player’s head. Sounds bad and looked worse, but I truly believe he just meant to get the ball to the BV player to throw in after a made Central basket. I don’t think he realized the guy was that close. When you are 6’10” unfortunately a chest height move meant to give the player the ball was head territory for the guy that was going to throw it in.

Van Gorp is the one that gets the most points of the two, but Johnson moving the ball around is a sight to behold. Except for that technical that is. He improved so much as a player last year. He is only going to get better this year.

Agree! Good rundown Sparty. Tried to post Saturday night and Sunday morning and finally gave up. Haven’t checked back until now. The Dutch lost a very winnable game at UWP. They were up by 11 with 4 minutes left, but had shooting issues all night. I haven’t checked but I bet it was our lowest shooting percentage of the season. We were getting some open shots from outside as they were completely collapsing in on Van Gorp, but they just didn’t fall our way. Van Gorp only had 8 points. He had 0 at the half. Not his fault, we were loosing the ball too many times trying to get it to him. Finally just started shooting from outside. If we played UWO again. I think we could win by a good margin. I give them credit for clawing their way back. The Dutch were without Coach Steinkamp though due to illness. If the Coach was there I think we would have won and the 11 point lead might have turned into 20 instead of disappearing. After all Coach Steinkamp took the team picked to finish last to first place his first season.

That said, we struggled with Simpson and Coe beat us in the tourney last year. The teams that know us the best can be the hardest to beat.

I don’t know about the giant Gumby, I wasn’t there. Hosted by a car dealer though so probably.

Dutch get a tough win at home tonight over Simpson to move to 5-0 on the season. Simpson got hot the second half and sold the flop all night long. Kole Tupa had a great night and Kaleb Brand hit clutch free throws to seal the win. Also some amazing defense by Nolan Brand in his limited time. It was one of those games where I was surprised nobody got hurt. Pretty aggressive play by the team that kept falling on the floor.

Great win for the Dutch today over Waldorf. Kaleb Brand had a great game with a career high 25 points. Joshua Van Gorp scores 22 and Grant Johnson swats 8! Nice win over a team that beat us last year. Simpson up Tuesday night at home. Keep it rolling Dutch!

Coe-you have a problem with blue and white Spartans. Wish you had made a better showing today, but Aurora is good. You had a great season. Congratulations to the Spartans and the Wartburg Knights. Next year Central will represent.  ;)

Coe getting torched in every stat, yet only down 14-0 at the half. Tough Coe defense looks very porous against Aurora. Wartburg up 35-7 with 3 minutes to the half. Wartburg benefits from the top seed ranking giving them the easier opponent. Coe can’t get anything going on offense. Defense getting shredded outside of the red zone. Inside the red zone they are hanging tough. Aurora clearly a stronger opponent than Illinois College. Hope Coe can figure something out. Wartburg should move on easily barring a meltdown.

Good luck to Coe and Wartburg today. Prove we deserve that greatly disputed invitation to the playoffs for Coe. Hope that Coe gets a little retribution for that narrow victory over the blue and white Spartans of UD by taking it to the blue and white Spartans of Aurora today.

So what, if any, is the connection between Loras getting Molstead and hosting the Mike Molstead Motors tournament at Loras?

Good luck to the Dutch against Waldorf today.

I hope you are right hazzben. I would love to see Wartburg and Coe advance on Saturday. It would certainly help bolster our chances in the future.

Certainly getting two teams out of the conference is great for the league, but I have no idea how Coe was selected for an at-large bid...

My guess is that Coe had the 'best loss' of any of the at-large schools.
Agreed, in fact Coe lead in the first half.
Wheaton's loss to NCC gets the 'best loss' at-large ribbon for sure.

Not so fast my friend, Wheaton played NC at home and was down 35-7 at half. Coe went on the road and went toe-to-toe with WU, losing 28-21 I believe.  Yes, playing #1 would make you think it was a better loss, but Wheaton was literally never 'in it' as Coe was.

Coe nearly got bumped off by .500 Dubuque two weeks ago, should have lost that game...that said, I honestly think Coe/Aurora is a pick em' game.

Yeah I just read the write-up on Coe and groaned with all the we’re peaking right now talk after the UD game. Coe is good and if they play like they did against Wartburg and Central, they should be in the game. But if they play liked they peaked against UD watch out. No disrespect meant to UD, but the playoffs are a step up.
