With all Lake Eries D2 players they lost to Wittenberg 76-40.  It must have been the refs fault or maybe they thought they didnt have to play this game because they already won the AMCC.

How can you say a game doesnt mean anything.  At Behrend, they were playing for seeding, if and when they won the AMCC.  If they didnt win the AMCC, they are playing for a chance to make it.  Every game means something and yes a great team brings it everynight.  Lake Erie is a good team but not a great one. 

As for Richardson being able to start for any D2 or NAIA school.  If he could do that then why the hell is he at  Lake Erie, who up to this year never had a team.  Ridiculous comment.  He may be able to play D2 or NAIA but to start on every team is just flat out ridiculous. 

Lake Erie is a very talented team but no where near what Wittenburg has to offer.  Lake Erie's talent may keep them in the game but they will not be able to play a team, in every sense of the word ,team that Wittenburg has.  Lake Erie I dont belevie plays the total team game.  They have excellent talent and you can talk about their players and how good and where they came from but you see it everyday its not always the most talented team that wins but the BEST TEAM(sum of its parts) that wins. 

One thing that is for sure that is Lake Erie will not be scared of Wittenburg and I bet that Lake Erie will actually come into the game more cocky and confident like they did all season.  But like they came into the PS-Behrend game and played dirty, cocky and confident but ended up on the bottom end of a lopsided game.  It will be the same thing with Wittenburg. 

I was just wondering who you thought would be the best shooter in the league. 

I would go with JJ Ferguson from Behrend.  He is by far the most consistent.  He leads the league in free throw percentage, threes made, three point percentage and averages 15 a game while only playing 24 minutes a game. 

I belevie he doesnt get much credit  for his shooting ability, but if you put him on a different team that runs and guns he might average close 20 a game.  Put him on hilbert or medialle and its not doubt 20 a game.  With the way behrend slows the game down neither team gets up as many shots.

I think he is the AMCC verison of JJ Redick.

Statement:

Niland better coach, Behrend better program in my opinion.

Now I can move on.

Looks like Behrend lost a tough one tonight.  Did anyone get to see the game?

I apologize.....


Coach moore did have a 23-5 season where they won the amcc but finished 2nd in the conference during the regular season.    A great season but a 1-2 record vs. Behrend.  Go figure. 

Upb  ,

You are right he has more T's then he does wins.  His best year was 20-6 not to shabby, but not too good compared with Niland,  who has ousted the twenty win mark a number of times and also hit 200 wins in his 12th season.   


I have not seen your comparative stats but its hard to compare guys when one guys is a full season behind and holds more wins and not to mention an elite eight run that Bradford may only dream about. 

I am not sure but I think you may still be bitter about walking about the behrend campus with your son, who i find it hard to believe that Niland would ever do that to any player, especially if he could play.  (just assuming he was a player)  probably not by the sound of your posts. 

I look forward to seeing the Bradford vs Behrend match up in the future but I am not sure if it will ever be at match up like it was a few years ago. 

Bradford has dropped off significantly in the past years and Behrend is improving even with young kids and defending AMCC champs.



Should be a good one on friday.  Predictions? 

Behrend 67-Lake Erie 65

Saw the Behrend vs. Bradford game this past weekend and was really surprised by the lack of talent and coaching by Bradford team.  Ryan Race hit the rim with about two of his shots and threw up alot of junk.  It was no contest from the beginning of the game.   Bradford's guards were very weak against a decent Behrend backcourt.  I cannot see Bradford making any sort of run in the tournament.  Bradford didnt run any sort of offense and Race could no one on there team could create a shot. 

Behrend looked good but it was hard to tell against a team that really didnt put up any fight.  Behrend's defense is good but not that good. 


All Bradford could really do was complain to the refs and oh ya Coach Moore got a T again.  What is that 200 on his career?     

As for the rest of the league, I have not seen many games but Lake Erie.  I would love to see that Behrend Lake Erie contest.   The rest of the league seems to be chop liver. 

John Carroll's bench is always pretty strong. 

I think St. Johns Fisher is too strong for Lake Erie.  The AMCC has had some great players(Curren, Beacom, Bowery,Ayers) and teams(Pitt Bradford - 2002-2003, PSU-BEHREND 2003-2004) but have never matched up well against the elite.  Pitt Bradford got stomped in the NCAA tournament against John Carroll in 2002.  Last year Behrend didnt fair well against Lebanon Valley and in 2003-2004 played a hard fought game against Potsdam but came up a bucket short.   

You could possibly say that this is the year the AMCC breaks out with a team as talented and athletic as Lake Erie and maybe a long shot upset in California with Behrend.   I hope this is the case because the AMCC is an excellent conference with good coaches and players and will eventually break the losing trend against the upper level D3 teams. 

As for the rest of the year, I agree with some of the updates and posts before.  I belevie that Lake Erie will win the conference and move on to the NCAA tournament.  I think that Behrend will play Lake Erie in the finals because I do not think Pitt Greensburg is very deep outside of Cooper and Scavinsky, Pitt Bradford will be there but lacks the experience, and the rest of the teams have not stepped up against medicore talent outside the AMCC. 

Just wanted to see who was looking good this weekend in their tip off tourneys?

I saw Behrend play and they looked strong with two pretty good wins over favorable opponents.
