Final in Kenosha: Carthage 75, Coe 61.

http://athletics.carthage.edu/news/2011/12/11/Mens_Basketball_1211110632.aspx

Carthage was all over Coe tonight at Tarble.  Coe could not handle the pressure that Carthage placed on them in the zone and had several lay-ups at the other end after fine work on defense.

The refs were once again bad in a DIII game.  At one point in the first half, the fouls were 7-1 in favor of the home team and more than a few of the Coe faithful were vocal about pointing that out to the zebras.

Wilson at the PG spot is going to be a player.  Very quick first step and got by whomever Coe put in front of him.  Love Johnson's wing span and his knack for not leaving his feet on ball fakes.  His shot selection is that of a freshman however.  Late in the game with Carthage up 18-20 or so, he was guilty of jacking up a three ball with 15-20 seconds on the shot clock.  No need to take that shot in that situation.

D looked good and very aggressive.  3/4 pressure the entire game.  I came away impressed by the game they played last night.

I think you're referring to Donte Logan. But yes, yes he is.

A couple of things on Carthage's win.

Northern Illinois likely will be quite bad this year.  They have a new coach and the previous old coach had already run out most of his recruits.  That isn't meant to take away from the win, but it is a fact.

Steve Dombrowski, who likely will play a role as a freshman guard on Carthage's team, did not play because Carthage is still playing soccer.  They play for the CCIW championship today.

Biggest thing for me: Nick Johnson, 19 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks.  It looks like he is ready to contribute immediately.

Dombrowski is Michael.
Johnson is Luke.

Hmm, must be thinking about baseball, though I have no idea where Steve came from.  I was reading about the OT win in the soccer game before I wrote it too.  Oh, well, getting old I guess.

Yeah Dombrowski is certainly making a name for himself on the soccer field. It'll be interesting to see if he can do the same on the court. Big soccer rematch tonight for the Conference Tournament title. Football game and the volleyball team hosting their Conference Tournament game now. Must be an exciting day on the campus!

Back to basketball - sorry to digress - the win looks like it was a good one. The Red Men shooting percentage was significantly better in the second half. And their coach was quoted on their website saying something along the lines of, when shots start falling, confidence builds, and defense picks up.

Hi all - I'm at Carthage fan..made the trek up to Northfield for our game against Carleton. I was just wondering if there were any Carleton backers here..or anyone that might have an update on the Carleton player who got injured this weekend. Looked pretty rough - ambulance came and they were very careful in handling him..never good to see, your team or your opponents. I just thought I'd come to your board and see if anyone knew anything. Good luck on all of your respective seasons!

Didn't get a chance to watch the game this weekend, so I didn't see it.  Do you know the number of the injured player?  I can try to get an update.

I didn't catch his number...they got his jersey & shoulder pads off of him pretty quickly. Thanks for any investigative work - I hope he's doing okay!

Sounds like he had a slight neck injury, but he's doing fine.

Thanks for the update - Glad to hear he is doing okay!

Haha, yes, yes he is one of the same Djurickovics. He started in the game this weekend & ran for two TDs. I won't get into game stats this being a MIAC board, but you should definitely catch a game at Carthage. They just finished the student center on the east side of the field which connects to new home side bleachers. The restaurants inside all stayed open during the game which was great!

Red.Men1 - I am a Johnnie grad/fan living in Lake Geneva. I get the Kenosha rag, so I get to keep up with Carthage sports. Sitting where I do, between Kenosha and Whitewater, it would be nice if Carthage gave me another option to watch a game when UWW is away. Is the QB who came in, Dj*&^%$ch, the BB Coach's son, and the brother of the departed BB star? Good luck the rest of the season. Just don't get too optimistic. Beating Carleton is nothing to get excited about. Although the come back showed something, after a dismal First half.

Be sure and let us know what you discover. 

Haha. Masterful editing with my comment on that one! You figured out what I was really going for. I can tell you one thing -- I'm far more entertained on your board than ours! Way more active! And I enjoyed the attendance argument...I mean discussion. I think we drew pretty well up to Carleton considering it's about 5 and a half hours from school!

Does anyone know when Augustana will release their non conference basketball schedule?

According to Wash U.'s website, the Bears will visit the Carver Center on Monday Nov 22nd to face Augie.
If they play a similar slate to last year, the Vikes should be well seasoned for the CCIW wars.

IWU and Carthage have to be the favorites for the title.... with Augie close behind!

While I'll wait a few months to actually make a 'reasoned' assessment, that would be my early gut reaction.  I'm not even sure I'd say Augie is 'close behind', except I still have vivid memories of 2006, when IWU probably had the most talent in the entire country, yet Augie won the title!

And that reminds me of 2001 when Carthage advanced to the Final Four -- but didn't win the Conference title with an 11-3 record! (Elmhurst went 12-2).

Sorry guys, a link probably would have been more effective than my copy/paste method.

Shouldn't have been a "T" then.  Officials love to call that, aong with offensive fouls, and moving ball screens.  Can't wait til colleges start using the arc in the paint like in the NBA does.  Ball screens ar way too subjective. One of my pet peeves is when the officials don't allow the screener to roll.

The arc does exist in the NCAA and the CCIW. Albiet without the actual arc being painted on the floor. Seems like it would make it even harder for an official without the paint.
Now intead of a ref thinking "is that a charge or a block?" they have to think "would they have been in the arc if there was actually one on the floor?"


From the NCAA website.

2009-10 POINTS OF EMPHASIS

Proposed May 2009 by the Men's Basketball Rules committee; approved June 2009 by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel.

Prepared by Ed Bilik, NCAA Men's Basketball Secretary-Rules Editor

1.   Charge/Block/Player Control Fouls.
The charge, block and player control foul situations that occur at the basket area are points of emphasis. The expectation is that any illegal contact that occurs at the basket area by either offensive or defensive player, (block, charge, or player control fouls) shall be penalized as prescribed by the rules.
To discourage a secondary defensive player from attaining initial guarding position under the basket with the sole purpose of drawing a charge rather than making a legitimate attempt to play the offensive player, the Rules Committee passed a rule which calls for such an action to be ruled a block on the defensive player. A secondary defender has been defined as a teammate who has helped a primary defender who has been beaten by an opponent because he failed to establish or maintain a guarding position.
This rule change does not discourage team defense in that the "help" by the secondary defensive player may be established anywhere on the playing court other than under the basket.

I didn't expect you to let that one fly by.
Just wanted to point out that Steve D is the Man probably shouldn't be considered as a voice of the majority of Carthage fans. Need I remind everyone of the one post where he had "Steve by Himself" as well as an elementary school posted on his version of the top 25. I'm pretty sure most Carthage fans wouldn't have gone along with that one.

Moving on... Thanks for supporting the Red Men. This year and back during the Wiertel/McDaniel/Garnes era. Those were some exciting years to follow and I'm hoping for more good years to come.

Enjoy the games this weekend.

Coincidentally, this order of schools is a preview of this years final CCIW football standings. 

Right... Because North Park is going to win a conference football game...

The scope of North Park's success in the CCIW is very limited:

http://www.cciw.org/news/WinterDriveRelease.php

go to h....

go directly to h....

do not pass go and do not collect $200.00


dgp

not funny

speaking of monopoly...

north park would be lower than Mediterranean avenue, as they are not close to a monopoly on anything, except for women's rowing. at least the vikings have that going for them. boats.

There is only one school in this conference that has never won a national title in anything. Guess which one it is, buddy boy. Here's a hint: It ain't located in Illinois.

I'm hoping that the fact that Steve D is the Man has -11 karma in only 11 posts (is that a record?) is indicative of the fact that he's probably not the best ambassador for Carthage College relations on this board.

That being said...I'm sure it would have been hard to not throw that jab in there at him. The stinger hurt me too. That's an interesting link though. I had forgotten about Millikin's recent women's basketball championship.

Most exciting time of year for a college basketball fan. Looking forward to watching the Wheaton game tonight and getting ready for a packed house at Tarble Arena this weekend.

Love the basketball support at Carthage - not only have they allowed the students to stay through the weekend if they want to watch (Spring Break typically kicks them out on Friday afternoon). But I hear the Student Government is purchasing the tickets for any student who is interested in attending. As an alum it's great to hear that the school is supporting the program.

Enjoy the games this weekend & safe trips to all of us traveling to the games.

I've noticed Carthage seems to be working at getting the video feed working better. Earlier in the season it didn't exist, then it was sketchy, now I'm getting it working pretty consistently (I notice problems especially when I switch the window I've got open - hopping between Live Stats & video). Also nice that they show the score & time at the top. They didn't have that earlier (and obviously you don't have that with radio), so your knowledge was dependant upon whether the radio broadcater mentioned the score, or if the cameraperson showed the scoreboard.
It is pretty great to have the online viewing option.

Carthage honored their seniors before the game. Five players and two student workers. For their last regular season home game.

Luckily enough they'll be hosting some more after this. But I'd bet they're refocused today and are ready for Millikin on Saturday.

Everyone enjoy the last regular season games on Saturday! See you in Kenosha next week!
