Maybe it’s just me, but Jace Richardson give me Jason Preston vibes. Not the tallest, but just kind of long and stringy, has sort of a herky jerky game and is able to get just enough space to get his shot off.

Interesting because his Dad was an A++ athlete.

First ever conference tourney for the IWU men? That’s almost hard to believe in terms of how good they usually are. Maybe the tourney is a newer thing. When I went there I don’t remember if the conference tourney existed.
That’s awesome about the women. Let’s hope they can get to the final four.

I know what you mean about the men's team. The conference tourney goes back to about the turn of the century. The men have won the regular season title frequently, but for whatever reason, have always come up just short. Sat. night, they beat Carthage in Tarble Arena in a game that really wasn't very close. Under Mia Smith, the women have been the dominant CCIW team pretty much thru this century.

Both Ilinois Weseyan teams won their conference (CCIW) tournaments to earn automatic NCAA bids. The women's team, playing at the Shirk Center, now 28-1, most likely host a first round NCAA 4 pack at home. They beat Carroll 95-86. The IWU men's team beat Carthage at Carthage for their first ever conference tourney title. The women's team has won 9 conference tournaments.

I have to watch my syntax. I said "host," followed by "at home." Reminds me of one of Trump's advisors a few day back saying "deceased people who are no longer living." It was in connection with accusations of Soc. Security fraud.
