As somebody that was there this weekend, I really didn't understand what the point was of the game. It may have made sense had they scheduled it to finish right before the championship game but that was not the case. The all star game started at 3 and was essentially a running clock so it was over well over an hour before the finals teams warmed up. We didn't even bother to go over there and I just watched some of the first half online.  There couldn't have been more than a couple dozen people in attendance for most of it. Don't know why you couldn't schedule it 90 mins before the final and you'd likely get a lot more people showing up for the 2nd half.

You can't schedule it closer because it can't run anywhere close to warmup time. With the game on television, it must tip off at the appointed time and teams must get full warmups and appropriate introduction.

Now we could debate whether we all needed to sit around for three minutes for commercials and pregame coach interviews, but that's another story.

Well more than a couple dozen people there at all times.

I'm sure everyone is off the board until next fall, but when you come back know that the Bucs are getting ready  ;D:

Spoke with a member of the Linfield coaching staff and it sounds like 13-14 players are committed for next year... Half of whom are 6'5" or taller... Sounds like the new coach is really working hard on the recruiting piece which is great to hear... Give us a couple years and we will be one of the top teams in the NWC on a year in year out basis...

Either the league is down and these are the kind of kids in the conference these days or Willamette is really in trouble.  There is only one kid on this list that has the kind of credentials players had to have to make it in this league 3 to 5 years ago. Most of these kids are honorable mention, second tier players on average teams.  It used to be most kids that ended up playing significant roles in the league were choosing between NWC teams and walk on spots at Div I schools.  We'll see.

A Buc Forever: Here's the official release. http://www.whitworthpirates.com/sports/mbkb/2014-15/releases/20140730eufji7

Looks like the guys you said plus Derek Isaak, a RS Soph. transfer from NNU where he averaged 8.2 ppg and made nearly 42% from behind the arc. He reminds me a lot of someone Hayford would have recruited: small school, state POY...plus he scored 44 points in the state championship. The kid can shoot. The last guy from ACH who came to Whitworth to play basketball worked out pretty well (Nate Dunham, who was the 1996 NCIC Player of the Year and a First Team NAIA Division II All-American).

I couldn't find a highlight package on him, but here is the state championship when he scored 44 points (he's wearing #22 for the white team). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dME5C4aaw3I

Obviously I hope Whitworth continues the dominance, but this will be an interesting year for Logie since it will be his first without Hayford recruits. I don't think he has the talent that Hayford amassed, but we will see.

Logie's classes have been a little deeper but lighter on the top end (talent-wise). Logie got what he needed out of this class (Isaak/Staudacher), with a couple projects. De Miguel will be the most interesting one.
The level of play overseas isn't quite the same. I think the kid from Spain can be very good at the d3 level, but it's going to take a year or two for him to develop. He'll be more polished coming in than Felix was though. More like Jurlina.

Let's get this party rolling!!!

What's new for your teams?

No big news for the OR teams that I can get. 

George Fox lost a lot, but still have a lot coming back. 
Linfield hasn't posted anything except hiring a former LC player as an assistant coach.  Is Batuik coming back this year?  That would sure help. 
Willamette has a big coming in and 6 others, but will still face a big challenge moving out of the lower tier of the league. But I like the looks of several of the new kids.
I heard LC lost 3 seniors and 4 others, but pulled in 5 new including 3 juniors (JC's?).  Looks like a rebuilding year to me.
Heard PacU had a good recruiting year and may be ready for a playoff spot.  Is Brakebush back this year?

Still feels like the power teams are up North(east)!  What do you guys have on the WA schools?

Linfield has its men's 2014-2015 roster up on the website as of today. Andrew Batiuk's name is on the roster.
Not many players left from the Doty era, many newcomers on the roster.   The schedule for the upcoming
season is also posted.  This schedule is more favorable than last years, there are more non-conference home games!

TryMeTeam

And the roster for PacU is out and Brakebush is on it.  Nice to have both of these great players back!

Word from the inside at Whitworth is that this is Logie's deepest team since he's been here. Probably not the top-end talent we're used to seeing in the Fieldhouse, but they go 11 deep of players who would start anywhere else in the conference. I've heard they feel like their "B" squad could compete for a league title. They brought in a bunch of JuCo's to replace McConnell/McCargar and add depth up front. They also got a Spanish kid (freshman) who has been impressing. I'm willing to bet that this team will win the NWC again, though they won't be dominant. I think their depth will prevail, as they can run teams off the court--and when they go to the bench, they won't have any major drop off in talent.

Returners: Farnsworth (Sr.), Valle (Jr.), Jurlina (So.), Love (So.)
New Impact Players: Derek Isaak (So.), Alberto de Miguel (Fr.), Matt Staudacher (Jr.)
Crazy prediction: Drew Sears (6-10 So.) has a breakout year

We will get a small taste tonight as they take on Div I Montana Grizzlies in Missoula at 6:00pm our time.  Live stats and video provided by UofM as well.

Go Bucs !

Pirates might not need the transfers with a healthy Brown on the court. Got the start tonight and is playing well

Pirates led early, now down 28-22 with 7 min to go in the first half. They may very well lose this game by 20 when it's all said and done but so far I'm impressed with how they've played against a UM team that finished 2nd in the Big Sky last year.
