    The Johnnies gave the Cobbers their first loss 77-70 last night, thanks to a 27 point effort from Thissen including 4-4 from 3. Found some highlights, but unfortunately they're completey one sided as some sports information departments think the only way to show highlights is to pretend their...

    All Things 2023 D2/D3 Hoops

    In a typical year that's probably true. So far this year the UMAC is 3-0 against the WIAC. Whitewater, Oshkosh and Platteville are all going to be really good but the ARC might be a little deeper league.

    Dennis Evans - Is it time to recommit?

    Dennis started against D2 Kentucky Wesleyan, but didn't record a shot attempt in 15 minutes. He had 4 points from the free throw line and 5 boards as the Cards lose 71-68 and put their coach firmly on the hot seat.

    The press box looks nice, but it's got a track and the bathrooms require a hike. In the WIAC I'd put them ahead of Stevens Point and that's about it.

    You play in the division you want, everyone playing by the same rules. Enrollment is just not even close to the biggest factor in wins and losses in college sports. This isn't high school.

    Eau Claire barely snuck by Concordia before getting stomped by 1,300 enrollment Coe this year. Stevens Point was lucky to put up 7 points against 1,500 enrollment Albion. Those are absolutely peers in college sports.

    I think you just don't have a full picture of D3, there are multiple high enrollment public university conferences in D3. The small private schools can still recruit their way into beating these large public universities, this isn't high school. Going D2 just doesn't make any sense, pay more...

    MN High School Basketball Sections - Can someone explain any of this?

    I think the best way is just to go open class for the real state champ and 3 smaller classes for schools under 1000, maybe it would incentivize teams to play up where they belong. Make every team pick their class every 2 years.

    Time to add Grand Canyon to your CBB bucket list

    You could do similar things at the Barn but you're going to need to expand the student section to 5000 and put somebody in charge who will ignore a thousand complaints from everybody else. Also, you're going to have to get back to at least .500 ball.

    No chance for the Johnnies or Scots, Carleton wouldn't be on the bubble either if they lose in the MIAC playoffs. They just don't have the strength of schedule. It's going to be a real battle these last two weeks in the MIAC and UMAC for the last conference playoff spots.

    They've had 2000 in the new Shoe for Tommie-Johnnie, but haven't had that packed of a crowd in the D1 era.
