Anyone have any idea what Oshkosh Athletics' "major announcement" is?

Could be that they are adding women's flag football.

Despite all your ire, I will continue to ask why Uttech is not still at Point.  He is almost singlehandedly carrying the Blue Devils in the early game vs. Oshkosh. I continue to see him as someone who could have been a real help for the Pointers. 

Thought maybe one of you insiders would know how Point let him get away.

Although Uttech did miss a dunk late in the first half along with his 15 points.

CH - no ire from me. I heard it was a concern over playing time, but that's not inside information, just conjecture.

I am glad he is a BlueDevil.

[Greek Tragedy]

According to live stats, it looks like Oshkosh beat Stout at the buzzer.

[BDB]

Jump ball call with 1.5 left, which I didn't agree with, gave Osh the ball. Terrible defense on a backdoor screen, easy layup for the win.
This L and the Point loss are tough last 2 home games.

[ChickenHoops]

According to live stats, it looks like Oshkosh beat Stout at the buzzer.

That is close.  They scored a lay-up with under a second but Stout got the ball for a final shot.  Stout looked like they studied the Pointers late inbound defense vs. River Falls and mimicked it to lose by 1.

Point is dominating LaCrosse at half. Heather's only comment, besides her constant comments that Uttech would have been helpful to the Pointers, is that Seth Miron looks better when he uses a razor regularly. She is consistent in her expectations of clean grooming. You should see the changes I've made.

CH - no ire from me. I heard it was a concern over playing time, but that's not inside information, just conjecture.

I am glad he is a BlueDevil.

Heather likes his capabilities and his clean shaven look.

[BDB]

Stout got the ball with .4 seconds left on a baseline throw in full court, C-Hoops.
When Oshkosh scored the game was over.

There is not one head to head sweep between the top five with three games to go.

Remaining games are Oshkosh at La Crosse and Whitewater at Stevens Point on Wednesday with Stevens Point at Oshkosh in the season finale on Saturday night.


The wins by the bottom three over the top five:

River Falls beat Stevens Point and Platteville at home.

Stout beat Stevens Point at home and Oshkosh on the road.

Eau Claire beat La Crosse at home.

These eight games are the key in deciding conference tournament seeding and tiebreakers.

The top five all think they should start with a home in the conference tournament, but only four will.

The top five all think they should be in the NCAA Tournament, but who actually will is TBD.

He isn't at Point because he elected to transfer. Let it go.

He's gotten more PT at Stout than he would have at Stevens Point. Point has had a core group of players that are now Juniors... and he was behind that core group on the depth chart. That could well be a reason why.

But he's a college kid. His decisions are his own. Let's let him live with those decisions and move forward with the guys putting in the work for Coach Dernbach.

By the way, Point beat La Crosse 97-75. LaX fought hard, but pretty dominant for much of the night by Point.

Osh up to C14
PL to C18

I still can't believe it'd been over 8 years since Stevens Point last beat La Crosse. Great win for the Pointers. It really gets the bad taste out of the mouth from Wednesday's clunker. Two big games to go.

[palum]

Platteville wins over River Falls 64-47. Platteville's Max Love leads all scorers with 20 points  on Valentines Day.

WARHAWKS: 76
Eau Claire:68


This was a close game throughout.  There were a combined 28 ties and lead changes with neither team having a lead of more than five points until the WARHAWKS closed the last 5 minutes of the game with a 14-5 run to complete the season sweep over the BluGolds.  Both teams made 26 shots but the WARHAWKS sank 8 three pointers to the BluGolds'3 and outscored the BluGolds 16-13 from the charity stripe.  Collin Madson led the way with a 24/10 double-double. Luke Bara added 15 points and Issac Vergas chipped in 10 points and a team high 3 assists.
