MSOE v. MU exhibition

[Skatastrophy]

I was looking around for a little game preview of the MU v MSOE game and I came across this on the MSOE athletics website.  The article is from July of this year, but it'll give you a little info on MSOE before the matchup on Saturday:

Men's Basketball to face Marquette in exhibition game

Milwaukee, Wis. - The MSOE Raiders men's basketball team continue to be an attractive preseason draw for NCAA Division I opponents as they face national powerhouse and cross-town rival Marquette University in an exhibition game November 7th at the Bradley Center with the tip off time yet to be announced [note from Skatastrophy:  the game is at 1PM CST].

Head Coach Brian Miller returns for his sixth season at the helm for MSOE and looks to continue his unprecedented success. MSOE has recorded the four best records in school history the past four seasons going 68-38 over that span a remarkable 64% winning percentage.

The MSOE men's basketball team graduated two starters, but returns letter winners, which have seen plenty of action during the 2008-2009 campaign. Starters Austin Meier (Oshkosh, Wis. /Oshkosh West) and Jeremy Off (Hartford, Wis./ Slinger) and Bennett Deacon (Burlington, Wis./Catholic Central) look to continue their success on the court and lead the team into the 2009-2010 season.

Meier, a 6-4 junior forward and a first team All NAC selection in 2008-2009, averaged 13.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in conference contests. He is also ranked ninth in the nation with 84 steals and a 3.2 steals per game average. Meier was the 2007-2008 NAC Freshman of the Year and an honorable mention selection.

Off, a 6-4 junior center averaged 14.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game against NAC competition. Off was second in the nation with a 67.3 field goal percentage. Off was a second team All NAC honoree. Deacon, a 6' point guard, averaged 9.7 points per game while shooting 46% from the field and 43% from behind the three-point line.

Despite being located just over a mile apart, this is the first time, the two teams meet. The exhibition game between the two programs is possible due to recent NCAA legislation allowing Division III schools the opportunity to play against Division I opponents. Last Year, MSOE faced UWM in an exhibition match, keeping the score under five points with10 minutes to play before the Panthers outdistanced the Raiders 68-43 in the preseason tune up.

MSOE's game against UWM was familiar ground for the Raiders as they played the 2003-04 season in the US Cellular Arena, however, this will be the Raider's first contest in the Bradley Center. Marquette, a member of the highly touted Big East Conference finished the 2008-09 campaign with a 25-10 overall record and a NCAA Division I tournament. MSOE finished the season with an 18-8 record a second place finish in the Northern Athletic Conference and the best overall record of any conference team. MSOE's only appearance in the NCAA Division III Basketball tournament was in 2003 when they won the Lake Michigan Conference Tournament.

Yep, according to the article on gomarquette.com the game will be streamed live thanks to MUTV.

Here's a link to the video stream so that it's handy for game-time.  The player uses Microsoft Silverlight, so if you're planning on streaming make sure that you get that installed before the game starts so that you don't miss any of the action.

Off, a 6-4 junior center

Wow. My nephew's 8th grade team has a 6-4 center.

[tower912]

Wasn't Murf a 6'4 center?

[wyoMUfan]

most likely,,,,,and i think most of the guys on this blog could start for msoe.
lol

[MU]

I didn't realize Marquette was a crosstown "rival" of MSOE

MSOE has beat MU as many times as UWM has!!

[GGGG]

Making fun of the MSOE roster sounds like so much fun, but I am fairly certain that most people on this Board could be the second leading scorer on a Division 1 state championship team like Andy Meier was at Oshkosh West.

Random Andy Polka reference!  The one that got away...

[bilsu]

If I was a writer I would love the name Off.

Off goes off against MU.
Off has off game agaisnt MU.
Off was off his game today.
etc.

So you were the second leading scorer on a State Champion?  Probably NOT.

I am speaking only for myself, but I bet that Andy Maier is a better player than the vast majority of posters on this board.

Those Oshkosh West teams were solid, and Polka torched the future Badger something fierce.  MSOE is a division 3 team.  That means they recruit good, not great, high school players.  When you play against D3 guys in pick up games (after they are done with college), they usually are the best on the court because of their size, skill, and understanding of the game.  I've played with guys from UWSP, Whitewater, etc., and they all can shoot the lights out.

Thanks,
I clicked on live events -  it looks like they are streaming a lot of our non-conference games this year.

[muwarrior87]

Just because they're D3 and this game doesn't count for our record, we don't want to have a result like Syracuse did last week or like UWM almost had against Cardinal Stritch (2 point victory).  Let's torch the Raiders with everyone getting solid minutes!!

Plus I want to make sure my alma mater wipes the floor with my brother's current school.

I had to read this about a dozen times to figure out what your point was, but then I realize that I said "could" when I meant "couldn't."  D3 players are still very good basketball players.

Sorry about that.

stream is workin... thanks!

[Hards Alumni]

unfortunately, the commentators don't seem to know much about the team... oh well, they are students... doing more important things.

  Yeah, I hit refresh on my browser and that did the trick.

[Bob "Big Daddy" Wild]

Crap, still doesn't work.  Not sure what else I can do here.

[Hards Alumni]

I reloaded.

interesting starters.

Cooby, Acker, Butler, Fulce, Hayward.

[chapman]

Buzz did say not to read anything into the starting lineup when asked the other day.

[Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup]

My stream keeps stopping and starting reading "loading." Why isn't ESPN Milwaukee.com carrying the game? All I get on their stream is some college football show. (yawn)

[Hards Alumni]

because its an exhibition game?

if i was in MKE I'd be at the game.
