LAT @ WIP -

WIP came out of a tough first quarter with a hard-fought 5-pt lead. And they never looked back. A three-minute, 8-0 run for the Trojans at the end was not enough. And as time forced the Trojans to foul, WIP went 7-17 from the foul line in the last minute to seal the deal.

and in other news:

ILL @ NEV -

There was a shootout at the Colorado Falls Forum tonight. And even though both gunfighters took lead, it was the chief who rode off into the sunset at the end of this old style western. Facon and Salguero combined for 96 pts, 17 rebs, 5 asts, and 2 stls. And the game turned on key foul-outs by Sczcodry in the 4th and Guaso in OT. The Rocks led for most of the second half. But a late surge from Illiniwek culminated in a 3-pointer from Facon to take a 2-pt lead with 19 seconds left. Podradsky tied it up 5 seconds later. A Guaso foul gave Salquero the opportunity to put the Rocks away, but two missed FT's sent it into OT. The Rocks held on for a while, but with both of their starting forwards and the SF back-up on the bench with 6 PF's, they couldn't put it together in the last seconds.

just to keep the tally going...

Great 8 is 33-7 in interconference play this season and has a combined PD of 781.

lucky us huh?

With 8 more games in the books tonight and only 16 to go, the Great 8 has increased its record to 40-8 in interconference play. And the collective PD swells to 916, which makes the average Great 8 PD/G 22.9.

Lucky us, indeed...

Wow, this is the first time in my history dating all the way back to season 7 that I did not have at least one representative at the all star game and the first time in Chuck Coy's career that he was not voted an all star. They better come out of the break with a vengeance!!

47-9, 1090 PD
19.5 PD/G

Coy and Floyd are all-stars in my book. Had it not been for the injuries, they would have been picked for sure.

and then floyd was hurt again :( his poor made up soul

Final tally after a final night surge by Big 8 teams leaves the count at 50-14 with 1163 PD (18.2/G).
