An entertaining game at Geiseman last night as CUC nipped Greenville 119-117. I've never liked "The System" style of play but it was an interesting game experience and the fans seemed to enjoy it.

Despite the high amount of turnovers this type of game produces, I liked CUC's overall approach. They did an excellent job driving to the basket and getting back on defense consistently. Guard play was tremendous, especially Justin Greenlee with 20 points and 14 rebounds (both career highs, I think).

Back to NACC play on Saturday with WLC coming to town. Conference play should be fun this year if not predictable (was surprised to see IIT knock off Norbert last night).

IIT shot lights out the entire game never seen shooting like that before especially against a Norbert team.  Not going to lose many games shooting 60% from 3

Quarterfinals are in the book in the NACC Tournament

#3 Benedictine 69 #6 MSOE 58
#2 St. Norbert 76 #7 Concordia Chicago 60

All chalk in the quaters.

*In hindsight with three of the teams that gave WLC a loss are in the regional rankings (Loras, Bethany and St. Norbert) those are becoming a big what could've been for the Warriors*

Semifinal Scores

Wisconsin Lutheran 71
Rockford 55

Warriors had few issues is dispatching the Regents.

St. Norbert 83
Benedictine 82 (3OT)

Eagles had a chance to win the game late on the last possession  but the Green Knights stood tall.

(2) St. Norbert (22-5) at (1) Wisconsin Lutheran (23-4) Saturday

Strangely enough this could be a chance to earn a regionally ranked win based on the last rankings but with the upsets that have been occurring in other conference tournaments, a Pool C bid is likely not happening here.

Pool C is definitely not happening, but it is definitely a ranked win for someone, since the rankings from Tuesday count moving forward.

Two best teams predicted early in the season are now facing off in the end. Should be a good one!

Think this will be a close matchup. St. Norbert has won 6 of 7 against WLC since joining the league. However WLC has the momentum on their side heading into this one while the Green Knights have been pedestrian with two losses to teams that did not make the conference tournament in the last 4 games of the regular season (Dominican and Marian). Also you have to wonder how much in the tank they also have after a marathon 3OT game against Benedictine. I think WLC wins but I think this won't be easy.

For WLC a win here would punch their 2nd NCAA Tournament bid (last was in the final year of the Lake Michigan Conference (05-06))

Half

WLC 32

Warriors led the entire way. Green Knights got it down to 2 early but the lead has been in the 7-10 point range for WLC.

Final from WLC

Wisconsin Lutheran 78
St. Norbert 62

WLC is going to the NCAA's for the first time since 2006! Warriors never trailed in the game despite St. Norbert getting the deficit down to 3 early in the second half.

As an alum....words escape me.....Once a Warrior, always a Warrior!

WLC gets sent to St. Louis to face host Wash U. NGL I am intrigued by the matchup. Winner gets Illinois College or Dubuque.

Ironically this is only the third matchup WLC has against the UAA. Only had two games against Chicago in the early 90's and WLC won both those matchups.
