GFU ranked 8th (129 pts) in USA Today ESPN D III Top 25 Coaches' Poll.  Whitworth and PLU also received votes.

i just wanted to say that the NWC will go 6/7 in first round games tonight.  the only 2 not playing are the w's---i think.

Watch-out for that run and gun offense in Tacoma!  Way to defend the home court Loggers.  Good start to the 05-06 campaign.  Good luck to the team this week.

NWC play begins this weekend---any thoughts?
GFU and Linfield are the only 2 teams without a loss.
Anyone seen Linfield play?
Is the NWC having a up or down year?  Is it going to be GFU all the way--can anyone challenge them?

Yes, it appears that GFU will have a good team.  Lindfield, always hectic and they are due a good year.  I never underestimate PLU, and UPS has been tough for a few years now.  Don't forget that Whitman has a lot of experience and 2 years of relative success.  Basicly, it is too early to try to predict this always tough conference.  Of course, I am always optimistic that GFU will prevail, but enough of a realist not to discredit  PP's Lutes or any of the historically strong teams yet.  Although I am far away and only get to see a couple of games a year, yes I still have students at GFU, I am looking forward to my digital perview of NWC games.

don't have the stats but Linfield downed Whitworth tonight at Wilson Gym.

George Fox took out Whitman tonight by a little under 20.

rimshot

By the early looks of things---a 3 team race---
GFU
PLU
Linfield

Upset specials----will come by LC----not in the doghouse anymore.
The Whits will get wins on home courts---and splits on most road trips.
UPS allows too many points--and don't have consistent scoring by the looks of stat sheets.
Bearcats don't have 2 big players back from last season.
Pacific has 2 solid post players---

To finally get some more talk going in here. What were the two coaches who didn't give the Bruin's first place votes in the pre season poles thinking? I know you are allowed a little bit of bias for your own team, but was this plain Naivety?

I think my opinion is pretty clear, but what are thoughts from others?
