Streaming video for all four games this weekend in Salem:
http://all-access.cstv.com/cstv/player/player.html?code=cs


Go to the CSTV.com link above, click on men's basketball on the bottom of the page, then click on the image to enter (or vice versa).  Look on the right column for the game.  It's free, but you have to register...

The catch is you need to be a PC user with Internet Explorer 6 or 7.  Mac users are out of luck.

Most of the D-I March madness games can also be watched on the same player for free, now that CSTV is owned by CBS.

I understand GMC fans are upset that they lost, but it was a physical game between two tough teams, and the reffing was poor BOTH ways...

What I am even more incensed about is that the GMC parents were the rudest, most horrible fans that I have ever seen.  I have lived in NYC for 10 years, and never heard parents scream homosexual remarks at players and fans!!  Grow up! 

The 18-22 years olds have more class than the parents, but with upbringing like that are really going to have to fight to survive in the real world outside of their sheltered PA lives. I've really NEVER seen or heard anything like this.  Absolute shame...the parents should be celebrating their kids' accomplishments, not acting like uncultured idiots.

NYU tops Ursinus 84-50 in first round action, behind a 53-19 first half...they kept Ursinus from scoring a bucket for the first 8 minutes of play.  Full release: http://www.nyuhoops.com

McEntee with yet another double-double...16 in 26 games.  Insane numbers for a sophomore.

Not sure what they were saying on the broadcast tonight, but NYU looked really tough and well-rounded...

I think you should probably consider Jaime McFarlin and Rebecca Parker in discussions as well. I don't believe that points alone should be the only factor. McEntee has been phenomenal for NYU and I think probably a front runner, but if you compare her with the others, the two from Wash U should probably be in the discussion.

Good call...McFarlin has had some great games this year, including Wash U's home win over NYU.  Parker has played well also...

And, thanks Marc for the updated UAA points record from last year...someone should send that onto NYU...

NYU sophomore Jessica McEntee is looking like the forerunner for UAA Player of the Year.  In UAA action (13 games), she's averaging 19.5 points and 14.2 rebounds - she leads the UAA in both.  She's also in the top-10 in the UAA in field goal %, assists and minutes played.

From NYU's press release on today's Emory game:
McEntee notched her 15th double-double of the season in the first half alone with 26 points and 12 rebounds; she finished the game with 36 points and 18 caroms, while going 11-18 from the floor and 13-16 at the charity stripe.  Her previous career high was 23 points set earlier this season on the road against the then-ranked #1 University of Chicago.

Historically speaking, McEntee's 36 points ties her for fourth all-time on the NYU single-game scoring...It was the second highest point total produced by a Violet in a UAA game, behind only the 37 that Marsha Harris poured in against Brandeis University on Feb. 15, 1998.

Jaime Capra (Brandeis), Nofi Mojidi (Chicago) and Lora Turner (Emory) look to be the only other candidates at this point.

dose NOT necessarily speak to an overall increased strength of the UAA BUT can be explained by parody across the field (an that parody I believe is due to decrease in quality rather then an increase)

So every team in Division III is down, as well?  These are national rankings...and the UAA has more top spots by more teams this year. 

I'll give you that Wash is barely "down," as may be Rochester and CWRU.  But NYU, Chicago, Carnegie and Emory are up from years past, while Brandeis has been pretty much the same for the last four years.  And keep in mind that Rochester and Wash are "down" and easily still rank in the top 20.  So how "down" can the UAA be?

I am leaning toward the point a friend made who has gone to games with me and seen not only UC but Brandeis, NYU, Chicago, Wash U and now Emory, that the UAA is DOWN this year and that as a whole the UAA is NOT better top to bottom as some people have said. His point was that the top teams Wash U, NYU, Rochester and Brandeis and also UC are not as good as their respective teams last year (I disagree as I think UC is better, but it is tough to argue the others mentioned are as good as last year). Also, he feels Emory is not as strong as last year either saying they are must weaker in the low post, since I did not see Emory last season I don't know.....

Any thoughts on the above

Having seen every UAA team at least once in each of the last five or so years, I disagree...with you and your friend.

Last year in the overall NCAA statistics (end of year), UAA teams ranked in the top-25 nine times, but only spanned two teams, Wash and NYU:

Field-Goal Percentage Defense - NYU - 19th
Blocked Shots Per Game - NYU - 19th
Assists Per Game - Washington - 2nd
Field-Goal Percentage - Washington - 9th
Scoring Offense - Washington - 10th
Scoring Margin - Washington - 10th
Blocked Shots Per Game - Washington - 12th
Won-Lost Percentage - Washington - 12th
Turnovers Per Game - Washington - 13th


This year (as of the most recent stats), five UAA teams have helped the UAA claim 15 spots in the top-25 across all categories (Brandeis, Chicago, NYU, Rochester, Wash):

Scoring Defense - Brandeis - 7th
Free-Throw Percentage - Brandeis - 9th
Scoring Margin - Brandeis - 23rd
Rebound Margin - Chicago - 4th
Field-Goal Percentage Defense - Chicago - 17th
Field-Goal Percentage Defense - NYU - 13th
Scoring Offense - NYU - 14th
Won-Lost Percentage - NYU - 14th
Scoring Margin - NYU - 16th
Free-Throw Percentage - NYU - 19th
Rebound Margin - NYU - 19th
Assists Per Game - Rochester - 13th
Won-Lost Percentage - Rochester - 14th
Three-Point Field-Goal Percentage - Rochester - 22nd
Rebound Margin - Washington - 21st

I think that speaks to overall increased strength of conference, as well as parody across the field...

Excerpt from Women's DIII News interview with NYU Head Coach Janice Quinn:

WDIIIN: How would you describe the UAA as a basketball conference?
Quinn: Wow. Great competition. Really good level of basketball. Skilled players and great coaches. A great deal of parity. Every year individual teams get better and better, and then the others respond in kind by improving again. If you love college basketball, the UAA is an exciting conference that takes its basketball seriously. A fantastic theory from 20 years ago that research universities could compete on the national level has been realized many times over across every sport.

OK ALL I CAN SAY IS----BRING ON NYU AND BRANDEIS AND THOSE CREAM PUFF SCHEDULES THEY PLAY

Where's Nancy been?  :)

The best was when the NYU fans started chanting "NYU" near the end of the game on Friday night, and the Chicago fans only reply was "Safety School."  Great game all around - a lot of heart (and talent!) from both teams.  The UAA is one unbelievably tough conference and it's gearing up to be a great race to the finish...
