WPI won in pretty convincing fashion today against MIT 69-56. Solid performances all around with Flynn leading WPI with 20 points. We've really played well in the tournament and I'm looking forward to the NCAAs. Coleman had two emphatic dunks and MIT's supposedly big defensive threat 'Dou' was silent. To everyone who keeps doubting WPI - I think we answered pretty nicely.

Here we come NCAAs!!!!

GO TECH!

WPI just beat Springfield 83-76 and clinched the 1-seed and homecourt for the tourney. Springfield came in on a 5 game win streak and was widely acknowledged to be playing their best basketball of the year. WPI came in on a 2 game losing streak and was allegedly nervous, crumbling, and poised for a fall. If a nervous and crumbling WPI can shut down the best of Springfield, hey I'll take that with a smile and a fist pump.

To everyone who keeps saying WPI's crumbling and is just waiting for them to do badly and pounce on them - save it. You guys have had precious little opportunity to gloat this year so make the most of WPI's 3 losses. Watch and love the incredible WPI NEWMAC and NCAA tournament runs that are coming up. GO TECH GO!

I agree with sixer! Thanks for pointing out Flynn's performance this year. Flynnie scoring 11.7 off the bench isn't any kind of fluke. I think Bartley just plays him off the bench because he likes the dynamic that gives him. He averages a serious amount of minutes in most important games.

I think WPI wins at UMass Boston tonight, because from what I remember UMB plays an almost street-like style of basketball. They probably wont come in hard on defense (they allow opposition to score 84 points a game) and WPI sure will (allows 68 points per game).

Also, MIT just lost to Springfield. Sure is a testimony to MIT's supposed 'strong fundamentals'. I wish they tallied points in the paint for MIT, so people could see what I'm talking about. I'm so looking forward to this Saturday's game. I really hope WPI comes through strong and answers all doubters.

You guys honestly seriously underestimate WPI. Losing 4 of the next 5 - preposterous. The team has won the close games all year not because they've been lucky, but because they know how to win! Have you guys watched any of the WPI games? Have you seen the expression of control and confidence on the players' faces when they're in a close one? They know they can win and probably will! It doesn't just happen by luck, they've worked REALLY hard! This is a team that just revels in close situations.

I seriously doubt they'll lose tonight to UMass Boston, or for that matter even 1 game out of the next 5, let alone 4! I say WPI ends the year 22-1. The road game at MIT should be a good one sure, but I've watched MIT play and I think WPI has the edge. MIT simply has no player that can post up. That leads to a limited inside presence. The guard play of D'Auria and Kanamori can be nuetralized/answered by WPI's own quartet of guards Cain/Dickson/Flynn/Steele. Coleman, Borque, Ivey (and recently even Marois) will give WPI the edge.

Dont you worry, WPI's going to live up to its potential! They're deep, they're talented, they're hardworking, they know how to win close ones, and they're hungry!

GOOOOOOOOOOO TECH!
