The offense worked and they looked like the winner all game long.  Another Championship for the North East and NESCAC.  Good for the league.

From what I've seen this year, I believe Williams is going to have a tough year next year.

Reason for the post is a conversation I just had with an Amherst alum about their men's win last night and their impending victory today.  As I've followed the women closer, I asked about the coaching change and he sees this as a seismic shift and they're thinking the women will be challenging for late NCAA appearances in as little as two years.

Snowman,

Both Red and I apologize that you didn't get into a NESCAC school and that you have to work for a graduate of one.  It could be worse, you could be working for an Ivy League Grad like me.

But let's not add any trash to this board, let's focus on the numbers: Coffin leads the league in rebounding and is #2 in scoring, #2 in field goal percentage, # 3 in steals and #4 in blocked shots, not bad out of 8 categories.  She's likely to be first team and in contention for player of the year.  [ stats from this weekends NESCAC program]

Hey, even Labron James missed 7 consecutive free-throws just this past Friday night. [sportscenter is my source]

And when it comes to the NESCAC, let's not let QOWI numbers muddy the facts:
Bowdoin Women - a NESCAC school - made it to the final four 2 years ago.
Amherst Men have made it to the final four in the last two years.
And Williams Men won the National Championship in 2003, the first New England School to do so and then made it to the Championship game in 2004.

You should do your homework before you start trashing the league.

Top 25 - wow - where's Bates.  Not even receiving a vote?  Guess only time will tell how much they're being underated.  I saw the Baldwin Wallace game and then saw they beat Bowdoin over the weekend.  With Williams and Middlebury this next weekend, we'll see if this peaks anybody's interest.
