Platteville is still trying to figure out who they are without Pearson, Probst and Olson.  I think they will have a ton of close games in conference, not sure how many they will close out as they haven't found their go-to guy yet.  Lewis is trying to be that guy but has struggled in clutch late game moments so far.  Love appears the same as he was last year....has a big game then disappears for multiple games.  Fuhremann has picked up scoring some and could be a nice scoring boost for them.  Hettinger has not taken that next step yet.  Depth is not as strong as it was in years past as most reserves have little to no previous experience.  The 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!

Yes, your bias comes out very clear in this post, to the point where I now will use "overly" biased to describe your posts.  I hope you do lose interest in this board and stop posting because your overly biased posts mean nothing to the majority of the readers.

My post was not specifically directed at you.  There were others who spoke of Platteville's physical play but failed to list the plays I mentioned and indicated they had watched the game.  Appeared to me like very biased opinions and yes, whining.
Those who watch D3 games regularly should know going in that the officiating is going to be abysmal.  My only hope in each game is that the result does not hinge on a referee call at the end of the game.

I normally don't like to post this way, but based on these whiny Point fans posting comments about physical play last night I feel I have to make a rebuttal.  I can't believe you watched that game last night and felt Platteville was the only team playing physical.  You bring up the inadvertent elbow by Hettinger, which I'll point out an unbiased observer posted on here that he felt it was inadvertent.  You did not mention the many times Hettinger was pushed/tackled to the ground by Point players, when he was bloodied in the mouth by Point players that caused the game to be stopped and a time he was clearly grabbed in the jersey while making a move in the lane.  Were you not watching when those plays happened??  Those plays are OK when done by Point players?? Hettinger is unquestionably a physical player that at times can go beyond acceptable but his taking it beyond "normal" physical play is sometimes reactionary to how opponents play him.  I can't believe the Point fans say last night they were whistled for just "touch" fouls.  Must be nice to watch a game through those rose colored glasses. I would also point out that in the first half a hard foul was committed by a Point player under the basket which was correctly called a foul.  The Point head coach enthusiastically applauded the play and high fived his player who committed the foul...unbelievable condoning of inappropriate play.  And this is not the first time I've witnessed him do this same thing.  Point is easily just as physical if not more physical than any team in the WIAC.....and they were last night too.
