Apparently it was Great Apple Crunch Day and the Pointers Men's Basketball team celebrated it with a picture. A player is on crutches, but I can't tell who it is. I'm half blind and on my phone.

Nice work, Captain!

Calvin might be good this season. Some hack, who was hurt all last season, returns, I believe.

Biggest preseason poll margins

2015 #1 Augustana (23) 161 pts over #2 Amherst
2009 #1 Wash U (25) 99 pts over #2 JCU
2004 #1 UWSP (24) 90 pts over #2 IWU
2014 #1 Whitewater (18) 88 pts over #2 Amherst

Wash U only team to be unanimous #1

Only 3 other teams have had 24 1st place votes.

Apparently. Did they have one every year then? Obviously I just went by what the website.

Last class was 2022 and before that was 2019. Guess it doesn't have to be every year.

In the 70s, there were a couple of classes of just one inductee and a couple of just two.

Miles Barnstable on the move.

2010 champs inducted Jan. 10. Students won't even be back.

Be interesting if Bob Semling is invited and if he even comes. Wouldn't say their departure was on good terms.

Not sure if it was mentioned previously, but Point picked up a transfer from Quincy. 6'6" forward Joshua Bocher. He's a Kewaskum native and also previously attended Kishaukee CC, where he put up some solid numbers. He will have one year of eligibility left.

That does sound like a good time. My Greek wife does want to go back for our 20th, but that's a few years off. Not sure if I have the funds to do that NEXT year. I was working on the Texas trip to see the Dawgs play. That's a lot closer to my budget.

Quote from: ronk on July 20, 2025, 12:31:31 PMIf they played the 5 seed in the 1st game(as the 4 seed), then the next opponent should be the 1 seed.

I meant how they got a 4-seed. Seems pretty high for a team that has had little success in previous tournaments.

I wonder how seeding is determined. They actually had the 4 seed in their pod.
