MBB: Northwest Conference

[D O.C.]

The blue announcers did say the refs were lacking.
When the 13 point lead opened up in the second half they liked the refs a lot more.
I could have done without the taunting technical foul influencing the moment a tad.

And the answer is yuuuuuuge p****

Is that your official medical diagnosis?

Whitman is so damn good and has so many guys that can kill you. Just an impressive program.  Love where Shannon is taking the program and I'm already looking forward to next hoops season.

Watching another game but every time I check the score the Whits are tied.  Must be a great game.

It is. When you roll around on the court and then require your head coach and a trainer to carry you off, then check in a couple minutes later...that's textbook yuuuuuuuge p****. As someone that actually sees and treats REAL knee injuries (not whatever injury Howell faked), I feel my diagnosis is fairly accurate.

Whits are tied 46-46 at halftime. Unlike blackhawks who has a new opinion of other teams every week based on how they fared against Whitman (see: Occidental), I maintain that Whitworth is not good enough after losing their best player for the season to knock off Whitman in Walla Walla. The Blues will likely pull away at the end of this one, though I don't think it will be another 17 point home win for Whitman. Doesn't really matter though, both will be back here for round 1 of the tourney.

Whitworth up 76-75 with 7 min left

[(509)Rat]

Well I'm glad to be wrong. Whitworth gets the pool A with a last second heave after Howell travels to turn it over with 2 sec left. 91-88 Whitworth.

[Greek Tragedy]

That seemed like a long 2 seconds...

[(509)Rat]

blackhawks will be sure to agree with you and tell us how awful that was...

On the bright side for us Whitworth fans, he'll also make sure to tell everyone that Whitworth is now the best team in the country. Since, judging by his posting history, anyone's results against Whitman is how they should be judged. Ie Occidental is real good (lol), Linfield is gonna beat Whitworth because they played Whitman close in Mcminville (lol), and now we can add that Whitworth is obviously the next best team in the country because they beat Whitman, at Whitman without their best player.

Oh my god Whitworth's inbounder ran the baseline after Tim Howell's travel call.  It was a travel. Dead ball.  Can't run the baseline.

Heck of a game. There you go WW, no need to sweat out selection Sunday.  See you back in Walla Walla next week

[(509)Rat]

I know you don't pay attention to anything outside of whatever Bridgeland is doing...but Whitworth was never going to be sweating it out for a pool C bid, they were a lock regardless of tonight's outcome...

I will say that I'll miss blackhawks when Bridgeland leaves Whitman (it'll happen, probably soon, $ talks). I mean you'd never know he's a UPS alum who doesn't actually care at all about Whitman College...he's nothing more than a guy that followed Bridgeland around both during and after his playing career. Good luck in whatever DI forum you land in tho

[A Buc Forever]

Ok, a Roach deserves his POY award!!!

[D O.C.]

HEY! Lookit that. Whitworth plays best in the snow.
Now selection "seeding."

[A Buc Forever]

The Whitman broadcasters were great.  I follow Big Sky Basketball and half of their broadcasters are not nearly as good as Whitworth's or Whitman's.  We really are lucky to have as good a quality broadcasts as we get for these games. Although video quality is not as good as the Big Sky's.

[(509)Rat]

Yup, they did a good job Thursday for the Linfield game too

[blackhawks4]

Inbounder ran baseline. Shocked it was missed. Anybody know where theres a replay of last play?
