Re: 1-31-09
ness-My 15* Revenge Rout is on Wisc-Green Bay at 8:00 ET. Loyola-Chicago is in deep trouble here, playing its fourth consecutive road game and there is little reason to think this game at Wisconsin-Green Bay will go any better for the Ramblers than did their Wednesday night visit to Wisconsin-Milwaukee did (a 72-58 loss). The Phoenix went just 15-15 last year but there were plenty of good signs for the upcoming season, as all five starters returned and the team was an impressive 11-3 at home. Tillema missed the season's first seven games but the 6-8 senior (listed as a shooting guard) leads the team in scoring with 17.1 PPG (4.1 RPG). PG Fletcher (10.1-3.8 APG) is now a sophomore and Cotton has improved from 4.6 PPG last year to 11.8 this season. The 6-9 Schachtner (10.9-4.6), swingman Evans (9.5-5.2) and the 6-9 Berry (6.5-5.9) have all played well in the frontcourt, as the Phoenix don't miss the 6-6 Tang (8.7-4.2), who left the retam for personal reasons after nine games. Wisconsin-Green Bay is 16-6 overall and at 8-2 in the Horizon, trails only 10-0 Butler. Loyola-Chicago comes in at 12-10 (4-6 in the Horizon) and with nowhere near the talent-level or depth of the home team. Guards Blount (14.7-3.8) and Cerasoli (10.7) are a nice duo but Green Bay's trio of guards will be too much for the Ramblers here. Two 6-8 players, Williams (7.7-5.2) and Forman (4.1-2.5) plus the 6-6 Young (7.8-5.2) hardly match up favorably with Green Bay's frontcourt. As mentioned already, this will be Loyola's fourth straight road game, while the Phoenix have gone 9-1 SU (6-0-1 ATS) at home TY, after going 11-3 at home LY. The team's lone home loss came back on Dec 18 to Oakland (Mich), 79-76 in OT and since that loss, the Phoenix are 10-2 (7-2 ATS), losing only at Butler (68-59) and to this Loyola team, 62-60 in Chicago. Green Bay made just THREE of its 19 three-point attempts in that Jan 5 loss at Chicago and I would hardly expect a "repeat performance" here, as Green Bay is shooting 40.6 percent on three for the year. Revenge Rout 15* Wisc-Green Bay.Comment
