I like Hobart to have a decent year and downs always has a decent team w slu but he has a lot of holes to fill. Be interesting to see how Hamilton does after last year. My thoughts are they should improve w the addition of some players. 

I pretty much agree with whatever PC says and he is usually right, which is again the case here. If SLU is a top 25 team, they should have walked through the conference tourny which in fact they got beat twice by a team they had no business losing to. I would agree they are a good team, better than i thought they would be and yes they do have a decent chance at making it to the final four, but lets not get too excited over the Saints and keep bringing up the Middlebury game, because Middlebury lasted as long as RPI did......one game.

This site for a long time has been kind of rocking its posters to sleep....well at least we finally have some color on this site    The good news is when Spanky grows up he can attend SLU or whatever college he wants to and cheer his team on in person. Perhaps they will have a chess club, or better yet a marching band, perhaps Spanky will get a full scholarship for his tremendous flute playing, whatever the case his parents will be proud. Captain obvious has one more note- regardless of this weekend the only thing that really matters is conference tourny and I think we all can agree that Hamilton and SLU will be there.

Listen, SLU will get beat this weekend and I agree only one team will move foward and that will be the conference winner. SLU is NOT one of the top 25 teams in country, the LL is weak this year- really weak and SLU is benefiting from this clearly- and they are not blowing teams out which should have every SLU fan alarmed. We will see what happens this weekend.

Hamilton is young, and their schedule was absolutely insane up to this point. I believe playing the tough schedule so far has seasoned the team and although their W/L ratio is not good I think they are picking up at the right time. Don't be surprised to see a good run out of Hamilton with everyone back and healthy. Two huge road wins as of late. The liberty league seems to have a lot of depth this year so should be exciting.

met fan, Sullivan has an ankle injury or something he isn't expected back until after the break, but agreed he is huge part of Hamilton team, best recruit of Anderson so far so hopefully he gets well.

Clarkson should be good, as long as they stay out of injury trouble, as well as SLU, but I think Hamilton will be the team to beat. Word on campus is they have two fresh that shoot lights out as well as a big man that is really good. This in conjunction with all five starters back make them the team to go after.

I heard Downs interviewed for the Bates job, also with Anderson's recruiting class as well as his current team I doubt he will be looking elsewhere, but who knows.

If RPI is using an ineligble player then RPI should forfeit any games they won the player played in. That would be interesting on several different fronts, the 2 games that come to mind are against Hobart and Hamilton. Has it become "official" that an inelgible player was used because if so its kind of a no-brainer, and both Hobart and Hamilton would benefit with another win.

Yes big weekend all around, especially for Hamilton who might be playing without their point guard this weekend. If Hamilton can take back a victory at Clarkson things look pretty good for the Conts in the post season. It should be a dog fight!

Well you can ignore my previous message because Hamilton lost to Clarkson today. Shocker but not a total surprise, something about Clarkson v. Hamilton that is just plain weird.

Hamilton SLU game was a bit of a mess for the first half but then Hamilton really clamped down in the second half on defense, scary part is their leading scorer Wood didn't play much due to foul trouble. This Hamilton team is the real deal and I think by the time they play in the tournament they will be a force to be reckoned with. They don't really have any superstars, just good athletic players, Simpson is one of the best if not the best guard in the LL, I didn't say best scorers just a really good floor leader. Todays game against Clarkson could get interesting- Clarkson always comes to play against Hamilton. Posters have to agree if Hamilton beats SLU, Williams and Clarkson all in the same week Hamilton has matured into the LL team to beat. Vassar is just what most of us thought going in, a team that played a weak schedule and had an over-inflated record. Yes they beat Hamilton but that won't happen again.

I think it will be a good game........I like Hamilton's depth, they go about 8-9 deep and if you have seen them they play almost all freshmen and sophmores, if they continue to get this kind of talent they will be scary in a few years. Vassar does have a lot of experience and I'm sure confidence from their success so far this year so it should be a good match up. Hamilton by 7.

First things first, I wasn't "hating" on Vassar I just simply said lets hold off until they play someone, I agree with POY, and Avitable should win it. I really thought Hobart would put up a better fight with Hamilton, they got drilled. This should be a good week for the LL and Friday night's game between Vassar and Hamilton I think will decide the team to beat in the LL this year. I know its early but I think Vassar's light schedule compounded with the fact Hamilton has played some tough teams will equate to a Hamilton victory by 7 pts.

Vassar Hamilton next wknd will be the test for Vassear until then lets just hold off on the three page letters that praise their team.
