Of all the stalls in State history this is the most over-talked about one. #wisbb

Game effort from Madison Memorial, but the game giveth and taketh away as they couldn't buy a bucket the last 12 minutes and that's problematic against Team Knueppel, er, Wisconsin Lutheran. #wisbb

Life comes at you fast. You go from the hoop looking like the ocean to missing uncontested lay-ups. #wisbb

Blocks like that look pretty, but the complete wipe-away like Kager Knueppel did there don't result in your team getting the ball.
He probably doesn't need to do it that dramatically. #wisbb

Memorial executing their game plan about as well as they can. Possessing the ball, only taking good shots and converting them at a ridiculous clip yet again (8-12). Defensively, WISCO is struggling to find the cracks in the zone, and isn't finding any second chances. #wisbb

We're 48 minutes into State action here and I'm just not seeing the vaunted, impossible-to-deal-with WISCO defense at all. #wisbb

I, like everyone, am excited to see if Madison Memorial can repeat yesterday's shooting display. #wisbb

On the other hand, Slinger gets the Kohnens and Siikarla back, but graduate the other four of their top seven.
Feels like this was their chance, but we'll see. #wisbb

Whitefish Bay has a real good chance to run this back.
They have to replace Webb and Schoenfeldt, but Miskel, Julien and Brodersen are a good returning core and the first two off the bench are also underclassmen. #wisbb

Looking like Cade (Marquette, 2024) will remain the only Kohnen brother to have won State.
And before anyone asks, I do not know how Cade ended up at Marquette. 🙂 #wisbb

Ultimately here, this has been just a complete performance on both ends from Whitefish Bay. Took away a lot of what Slinger wants on offense and then the Owls sharpshooters just couldn't find the bottom of the net to keep up with the Blue Dukes. #wisbb

The good news for Slinger is Bryson Fogle has found his stroke, up to 18 points on 7-8 shooting.
The bad news? The Kohnen brothers are a combined 4-26 from the field. #wisbb

I mentioned the "Two Slingers" yesterday. The second half against McFarland was what you often see with Good Slinger.
Tonight is what you see with Bad Slinger...though it's usually not to this extent. #wisbb

Regular season is one thing, but it's tough to win at the Kohl Center when you have to rely on two players to trigger all of your offense. #wisbb

That might be the longest I've ever seen the Kohnens go without making a three. #wisbb

Whitefish Bay's big advantage here is while they may not have the Kohnens, they have a starting five where all five guys are capable of creating offense. #wisbb

Dooney could have played anywhere (Nicolet I'm sure would have loved to have him).
But he stayed home. And they won. #wisbb

In Milwaukee Juneau we have a situation where its greatest basketball alum sent his prodigal son to play at his father's alma mater...a struggling program with no discernible basketball heritage, and they managed to win a gold ball.
It's something we might not see again. #wisbb

One of the main reasons, MPS has struggled (and continues to struggle) is retaining talent, even in basketball.
The basketball world no longer cares about loyalty to where you are from. #wisbb

OK, so on to the game. MPS gets a boys' basketball gold ball for the first time since this 40-year old was a senior in HS.
It's certainly a unique scenario that maybe has some issues as far as being in a lower division, but there is a rather heartwarming aspect to this. #wisbb

I just find the Pavlovian freak outs on social media entertaining at this point.
The shot clock will be here soon enough. We'll all live. #wisbb

In regards to holding the ball, look, no one wants to see it, but if it's gonna happen from 8:00 to 6:00 on the clock is probably as good of a time as any for it. The rest of the game got played out and we move forward. #wisbb

Another miss at the rim, this time by Tyler. Juneau really killing themselves here as this is back to a one-possession game. #wisbb

What that tells me is Juneau doesn't think they can win a prolonged game. Oof.
It would also help if Dooney wasn't missing everything in the lane this half. #wisbb

Juneau, for what they want to do, simply doesn't have much creation outside of Dooney and Tyler. Tyler hasn't been able to unlock anything and it's all falling on Dooney to OK results. That's gonna have to change. #wisbb

Not surprised by that first half in the slightest. Biggest thing is Cambridge hitting a high clip from outside, as I expected them to be able to get looks at the rim out of their offense. Doing a real good job limiting damage off turnovers. #wisbb

Reedsville's Ron Prochnow joins Tom Weinkauf (Marathon/Newman Catholic) and Jim Myers (Barneveld) as the only coaches to win a WIAA state title in both boys' and girls' basketball.
Prochnow coached the Augusta girls to the D4 Championship in 1996. #wisbb
