News On The Horizon 1/4/2010

Red Line Lounge, Week 08--The Mid-Majority

KW: I've been spending some time in the America East these past couple of days, and a name that keeps coming up is Bryan Dougher at Stony Brook. Sophomore guard who averaged double-digits in scoring last year but has really upped his numbers in every category. Then he dropped 30 against Boston U. on Saturday. Definitely a name to remember if the 9-5 Seawolves keep winning. But I'm a little surprised you haven't mentioned the Horizon League yet, where you were holding court over the weekend. What's going on in the Raise Your Sights conference?

DL: There were some oddities, that's for sure. After all the home teams won on Thursday, all the road teams (except Butler) won on Saturday. The most impressive was Detroit going into the Gentile Center at Loyola and slowing the Ramblers' roll. I was one-half of the broadcast team in the HL's first attempt at self-produced regional television, and it was a smash! The game wasn't great, as Butler ran over Milwaukee, but it was somewhat expected. What was unexpected, was the play of Milwaukee's Anthony Hill. 18 points and 5 boards in 20 minutes off the bench. He, and others, will need to step up because after the game the Panthers announced that All-League performer, Tone Boyle, is going to take a medical redshirt. Tough loss.

* If Valparaiso University's basketball team upset Butler on Feb. 26 at the ARC, I'd say the Crusaders have finally proved they belong in the Horizon League. Until they can whip the 'Dawgs, VU shouldn't be scheduling grownups like North Carolina, Purdue and Michigan State.
