Re: NWMSU

Legends may have been an overreach, but at those schools, is it? I'm sure KU fans would have given anything to have Mangino back over the last 10 years. Tech is probably in the same place, but Leach put them on the map.

Re: NWMSU

I'm just glad a Griffon topic can briefly derail a Northwest thread. Black is white, up is down, etc. :)

if only changing the culture were as easy as the topic

Re: NWMSU

FWIW, there was one technical foul called last night, and it wasn't on the emotional guy. I'm sure that was a grave disappointment to all the #culture fans out there, and I have every confidence McCollum will face appropriate disciplinary action. :)

I wasn't at the game last night (the threat of freezing drizzle scared me off the road trip) and I didn't see any physical stuff from Wicks on the broadcast, so I can't speak specifically to that. I've not seen anything physical from him in the games I have attended, and my seats are a couple of rows up behind the bench. I'll say this - Missouri Western has embraced him. Attendance at home was up almost 500 this year; not all of that is because of Wicks, but his energy and enthusiasm and his efforts at community and campus outreach have built a lot of good will in a short amount of time.

My guess is the very end of this video is the beginning of what was referenced. I will say it stood out to me last night as well.

Ben's emotion stood out as well.

Just cut's out before the interaction. With his left hand he "push-smacked" one player in the chest. He grabbed #0 by his jersey around the chest area and shook him around for a couple seconds while chewing on him in his face for not stepping up to pick up Joey at the top of the key in transition.

FWIW, Ben got his T for slamming a dry erase board during a TO and a couple pieces of it went on the floor.

Re: NWMSU

I suppose it is, and he wasn't there long enough to really be considered a legend, I'll give you that. KU is arguably the worst Division I program in all of football and what he was able to do with that dumpster fire of a program was kind of a little bit legendary. The ineptitude of that program before and especially after Mangino has been remarkable. Maybe Les Miles will be able to make them relevant again. It is what it is... A more accurate description, I guess would have been to say "well liked by the fanbase" instead of legend.

Tip of the cap to the Cats for running the table. Rest up for a week and roll the dice and see what happens.

Re: NWMSU

Amazing regular season Bearcats! I think they said first undefeated MIAA regular season since Southwest Missouri State (Missouri State) in the 60's... pretty cool, especially considering coming into the season, we didn't really know what we had, replacing 4 starters. As a fan, I'd love to see them win the conference tournament, but not playing 3 games in 4 days might do them good towards the overall goal. I'm certain that they're not thinking that way and want to run the table all the way through a National Championship. Ben probably practices them as hard as they would play anyway.

Last night's game was a complete game on both ends. Still not lighting it up like we were up until a few weeks ago, (I think we were getting spoiled) but shot it better... Welty bounced back from his 0-7 3 point performance against MoWest and shot a more Welty-like 4-6. The defense was stifling, and Washburn was atrocious from the field last night. That's a good win in a tough place... hopefully the MoWest game was the wakeup call that provides a springboard for postseason play.

Re: NWMSU

Great night for NW. Ladies win in Topeka for 1st time since 1985(72-70).

And congrats to the ladies... a great win for them heading into the offseason!

Re: NWMSU

I was impressed with how the Bearcats kept their cool despite how rough the Refs let WU play.

Re: NWMSU

Conference regular season is over for NW and they end it with an average margin of victory in conference play of 22.4. Wow!!

I'm so glad we didn't end up with a MoWest blemish after Tuesday night! ;) As much as I like beating MoWest, with Sunny and that freshman guard they have, it may actually turn into a good fun rivalry again.

Re: NWMSU

Pretty impressive season so far and they did it down an assistant coach. Short story on Bryston and his opportunity in the NBA that lead to the team being down an assistant.

Re: NWMSU

Was trying to post the link from Northwest Missourian about Coach Mac. If any of you can help, please do so. It was quite an article about his coaching career.
