Good luck to the TITANS and Wheaton this weekend.  Bring home some Ws for the CCIW.

IWU'70

P.S.  Anyone have a good take on Wisconsin Lutheran?  26-1 isn't chopped liver.  St. Thomas another matter, right . . . .?

I've never watched them play, but just studied their website a bit. 

Their only player in double-digits is 6'0" senior Jen Dowden, at 16.2.  They don't seem to be much of a 3-pt threat - only three players over 0.7 per game (Dowden is one of the deep threats).  Their overall height looks very comparable to the Titans.

I'm certainly not taking them for granted (I've seen enough upsets to not even take Finlandia for granted! :o), but despite their 26-1 record, I think IWU is a HEAVY favorite.

Against UST, we would be a HEAVY underdog.  Especially ON their court.  But I ain't throwing in the towel just yet!  (Especially after attending the 2012 men's 2nd round game AT #1 ranked Hope where we won in double OT! ;D)

Looking at their stats, one notices that the same 5 have started all 27 games and are the top 5 in minutes. Four are seniors, with one junior.
Substantial height among those starters : 6'1"  6'  5'11"  5'10"  5'4".
Of the 8 players who play the most, 7 shoot threes in the decent-to-very good range : .273 up to .427.
The team outrebounds opponents by 7.2 /game and they enjoy a 5.4 turnover advantage.
They restrict opponents to .365 on 2FGs and .242 on threes.

But you've gotta take into account the (lack of) quality of their opponents.  The women's CCIW is (alas) not a power conference like the men, but it is WAY, WAY better than the NACC.

Thanks for the statistical portrait and impressions of Wisconsin Lutheran. 

Go TITANS!  Time for lock-down D and avid "run and jump."

Regardless of whichever team might be expected to win, the game will start tied 0-0.

Rog hates making predictions, especially about the future. . .

Presuming nobody is wearing the wrong uniform compared to the scorebook and we don't start out with a technical and a free throw.

This can't be understated; I worked a men's game last year where North Central literally led for the entire 40 minutes because the opposing head coach didn't get starters in on time!

I'm more likely to make an inane prediction.
lmitzel, I think you mean it can't be overstated. Yes?

IWU and WI-Lutheran 16 all end of 1Q.  So far a pace favorable to WI-Lutheran.
