With the three teams who were tied for 2nd in the GNAC all losing last night and WOU beating WWU, now there are 4 teams tied for 2nd place and Central and UAA tied for 6th (and playing Saturday). It'll be interesting to see how it all gets sorted out. Not a great start to a 4 game home stand for UAF last night. Low on energy and not dictating much on defense and the rebounding differential says everything about where the will to win and energy were last night. Central did what they needed to do and as Sparling said in the paper too, UAF just didn't seem to want to put the ball on the ground and dribble-drive. Central certainly was deserving of the win. I was surprised with such poor play on UAF's part that they were still in position to try for a tie and OT at the end of regulation. My guess would be Central will need to have more offensive fire-power to get by Anchorage and games down there always seem to be called quite a bit tighter, so they'll have to keep that in mind both on offense and defense (I thought several times last night UAF defenders could've just put their arms straight up in the air and they would've got the charge several times; Central was doing exactly what UAF needed to do in pushing it hard inside)...
Anyhow, congrats to WOU.
