Probably a one bid league here. WLC has the best shot of the bunch for an at large but it's a long shot.

A poor showing in non-conference doomed any shot for this league being a multi-bid league again this year.

WLC picked up another win today over Concordia Chicago but a 2 game gap is between them and the last conference tournament spot. Lot of underclassmen getting reps this year. Either way I feel WLC was a bit over rated coming into the year especially with what was returning.

At the Shirk on Senior night, IWU over Elmhurst 77-59.

The Titans did a good job on Bukata, mainly White and Leyden.

For EU:
Bukata 14
Harty 12
Kleszynski 11

EU at 43%/31% from three/ 73% FTs.

For IWU -- the Ava Bardic, consistency show.
Bardic 28
Leyden 11 and 11
White 10
Balli 10

One of the few IWU games you will see with more TOs, than the opponent, pretty ragged at times.  EU winning the TO line 19-23.  Gotta fix that . . .

In a nice touch, Coach Smith put in the injured Senior Laura Mahlum for the last 30 seconds of the game and all the Titans came out to hug her at the end.  A very touching, lovely moment for one of the true loyalists of the program over the past four years.  Coach Smith and staff really showing class tonight.

IWU moves to 17-5, 12-1, with three games to go, all at home :  Carthage, Wheaton and Augustana.
Winning out will be important for the CCIW race and for post season seeding.

IWU'70

At the Shirk on Senior night, really the story of IWU's big three:  Cleveland, Funk and Colak.

IWU pulling away fully in the second half, winning 91-69.  Just too much strength and paint scoring for EU to manage it all.  No answer for Cleveland, double team or no.

For EU:

Boone 14
Smith 12
Tuelenberg 9
Adjahoungbeta 9 and 12

EU at 42%/44% from three/ 63% from the line.

For IWU:

Cleveland 32
Funk 23 and 8, beautiful passing and excellent defense
Colak 21 and 7

IWU at 67% from the field/47% from three/ 59% from the FT Line.

IWU goes to 18-4, 10-3, with three games to go --Millikin, North Park and Augie, all on the road.

A good game in Crenshaw. I hadn't seen UMW play except for the end of their game vs Yeshiva and brief look-ins on a couple of random games. So I wasn't familiar with them or their players. They are a good team and it's easy to see why they are ranked so highly. Robinson, their leading scorer, had early foul trouble and only played eight first half minutes. He did play all 20 minutes in the 2nd half but wound up with only seven points, all from the free throw line, going 0-10 from the field for the game. Kudos to the Jacket defense, limiting a 25ppg scorer to so few shots.

UMW's defense made it tough for RMC to get inside looks in the first half, but that got corrected in the second half, with Liam Joyce receiving some nifty passes and having a perfect shooting game (9-9 fgs, 6-6 fts) for 24 points. Overall RMC hit on 15 of 24 two-pointers and 12 of 21 threes making 60% of their fg attempts along with 85% of their free throws. Tough to beat a team when it shoots so well, even with the Eagles taking 10 more shots than the Jackets.

-- VWU ties RMC for first place in the conference with its win at Randolph.
-- Roanoke gets a road win at EMU.
-- Bridgewater hands Averett a rare home loss by a surprising 13 points.
-- W&L squeaks out a one point home win over Guilford.
-- H-SC, still short-handed, handles Shenandoah in Farmville 73-64.
-- Lynchburg had the day off.

Calvin with their second easy win of the week over one of the weaker teams in the MIAA, beating Kalamazoo 91-55. The game was never close. Of the Knights' 61 shots from the floor, they took an incredible 40 from the three point line, making 17 of them. I've seen a lot of Calvin basketball over the years, and I can't remember one of their teams shooting that many threes in a game.

Top 4 in the MIAA hold serve today:

Calvin 91 Kalamazoo 55 
Hope 80 Alma 48
Olivet 71 Albion 57
Trine 71 Adrian 66

Hope 9-1
Olivet 9-1
Trine 8-2
Calvin 7-3

Next weeks games be will intense as all 4 play each other on Wednesday and Saturday. 

Wednesday:  Hope at Trine & Calvin at Olivet
Saturday:  Olivet at Hope & Trine at Calvin

I'm not sure but it seems like it's been a while since we've seen 4 teams fighting for the regular season crown this late in the season.  This might be the deepest the MIAA has been in a while as Albion is really good too.

Absolutely dominating performance today by the Lady Royals vs. E-town.
Inside.
Outside.
Around & through.
Kaeli R. does a remarkable job running a pretty darn good team & keeping everyone involved offensively & defensively.

Quote from: NCC2010 on February 05, 2026, 04:32:49 PMUSee beat me to it...what a great schedule for NCC.  2 years in a row homecoming against Wheaton sure is something.  Bethel and Wartburg to start the season also is great, wish they had the opportunity for 2 OOC games every year...

Let your radio kids know that since ESPN isnt taking up 3 booths in the pressbox, they should have a nice spot to do the game this trip...unlike last time NC came to Waverly.
