Quote from: badgerwarhawk on Today at 12:19:14 PMThe #11 WARHAWKS 6-1 started cold from the field and trailed Knox (3-6) 37-35 at half.  The Knox lead grew to 5 points, 43-38, after three minutes of the second half before the WARHAWKS rallied, gaining the lead by the 5 minute mark and finishing the period with a 21-9 run and a 59-52 lead. The lead reached double digits midway through the fourth and essentially remained there finishing at 11, 77-66, at the buzzer. Renee Rittenmeyer led four WARHAWKS double digit scorers (Krohn:13, Niles:12, Lowrey:12) with 20 points and added a team high 9 rebounds. Significant scoring advantages from points off of turnovers (26-6) and bench points (45-6) offset Knox's 50-32 advantage in the paint. 

How'd they shut down the Cheese Queen, McCurdy?

Where is everyone?  I can drive to some ARC games but no one seems to care?

The chicken farm sale closed yesterday.  I'll be seeing you all at Quandt as well as at other WIAC gyms throughout the new year.

Quote from: Voice of the Titans on December 09, 2025, 04:10:27 PMAny other teams out there with ONE true home game before WIAC play starts?

Why ask now?

Boys from Oshkosh made like 3/50 from 3 points and got killed by Calvin. 

Quote from: tomt4525 on November 29, 2025, 08:09:22 PMThis Point team has mostly been solid on the offensive end but can't guard anybody to save their lives.  North Park was able to get to the rim whenever they wanted to.  The first half lead vanished because Point struggled to break the press for about an 8 minute stretch.

They will have to outscore teams this year if the first few games are indicative of this team moving forward.  Which is pretty sad knowing where Point's tradition came from on the defensive end.

Do you see this as a personnel issue?  Good guys but not defensive oriented and can't be coached up?  Somewhat hard to believe.

An absolute shocker in IWU. Stout's previous wins were against Oak Hills Christian College and Maranatha Baptist. IWU is supposed to be a Final Four caliber team. What a great win for the WIAC.

Who says IWU is a Final Four team?  Oshkosh almost ran with them without their best player.

Quote from: badgerwarhawk on November 26, 2025, 12:24:14 PMThe 9th ranked WARHAWKS used a huge first half advantage, 56-18, to empty the bench in defeating Principia 81-49.  Bri McCurdy led four WARHAWKS in double figures with 11 points. Maddie Anderson added 10. Renee Richardson and Logan Lowery each had 8 rebounds.

Bri McCurdy is sort of a cheesy name.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on November 23, 2025, 03:04:39 PMRipon was in Point's horribly named "pre-Thanksgiving Tournament" but didn't play Point. The Redhawks have a player, freshman Landon Lee, son of ex-Pointer Shawn Lee. If this is going to be an annual event, just name it the Bennett Invite or go back to the Sentry World Classic.

I'd go talk to the Hilltop and see if they'd be willing to sponsor it.  The Hilltop Holiday Classic has some alliteration to it.

Quote from: PauldingLightUP on November 22, 2025, 09:08:56 PMWell, today was the day many were wondering about. Michael Metcalf-Grassman returned to the court at Carroll. Contributed 8 points in 19 minutes and 3 key, flying in blocks.

I like Waupaun's Hawkinson making a few plays today and contributing 11 points. Brandon Beck is obviously still the show.

I think today was more accurate of what the rest of the season will look like rather than the first three games. There's going to be runs and hope to force enough turnovers that your own aren't too costly. But, absolutely have to make your free throws.

All that and it's not too terrible for the Titans at 3-1 with roadies at Edgewood and Augie next week.

Just watched the game and the LaCrosse game after my chicken shift. Metcalf-Grassman looked a little rusty with the ball and that is not surprising. They have an interesting team. If they start hitting 3P at a high clip they'll be tough to beat.

LaCrosse was pretty deliberate compared to Oshkosh. Much more concentrated talent. If they would suffer an injury to the  wrong player it would be devastating.

Quote from: Kirbmania on November 20, 2025, 10:50:37 AMThe conference battle seems to be for second place as LaCrosse has started very strong this season and looks very solid.  Looking forward to an exciting WIAC season!

You might be right but I bet there are young and hungry teams around the WIAC who relish the thought to prove you wrong. That's what makes this all worthwhile.  With my newfound free time I intend to go all over the WIAC in my new F-150, following the Pointers, but also a few others worthy of attention.
 

Quote from: judgetrainer on November 20, 2025, 07:04:20 PMMeaningless at this stage of the season, but Lawrence has started the year 5-0. Road wins at Wisconsin Lutheran and St Norbert.

Not meaningless to Lawrence, I suspect. 

Wow SNC got chillaxed by Lawrence in Schuldes Center 66-60.  Lawrence is 5-0 and might be a threat in the MWC race to the tournament.

Quote from: palum on November 19, 2025, 10:26:33 PMPlatteville wins  over North Central 66-60 in OT. Bristol Lewis leads Platteville with 13 points. Platteville's inside game went along way to the win.

Is Platteville really going to be good?  They lost a few guys (I assume to graduation) who seemed to suffer from Gunnerhea until the NCAA tourney when they seemed to go quiet. Better than Point, though, so I apologize for being critical.

Quote from: ChickenHoops on November 18, 2025, 01:02:57 PMCalvin has some big AA guy who is a stud but was injured last year as well.

I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but this is a pretty great flex.  Just to put it in context, Jalen Overway is a Jack Flynn level post presence for Calvin.  They haven't quite figured out how this group is going to play around him, but he's been consistently great so far this year, coming off a major injury.

Jack was a hell of a player according to Google. I was 19 when they won the 2019 NCAA event and was not in tune with the Pointers or the WIAC back then.
