Good Question
how about change it to the North-East Small College Athletic Conference so that they don't have to change the logos website domain etc

I'd take Olson over Webb bc of the showmanship factor.  I'd make Jones and Bol go one on one, winner stays.  Bill Walton gets winner, he used to ball back in the day.

La Verdad, I dig it.

As for LaFREAKenstein, stay up don't let the bad vibes bring you down man, take it from me one of the top 7 color commentators of all time

As previously stated, the homecourt advantage hasn't always come into play at LeFrak. The fans don't really have any organization, what happened to Lord Jeff Nation? This coupled with the fact that teams like Trinity (Williams, Tufts) travel well with their fanbase to Amherst the home court seems neutral.

oh and HAHAHA....you aren't funny

Peace. Love. Basketball

Bill Walton knows La Verdad is not an Amherst roster member....
Bill Walton doesn't know what you are talking about CCsalive: why the lame loser accusations?
Bill Walton also knows to leave Mr Coleman alone

That Williams win was very impressive, but Crotty, Coffin, and Abba played even more out of their minds than usual.  Even with a team that good, Paulsen himself said that Williams would lose 9 out of 10 games to Holy Cross.  It's hard to predict where they would end up that would likely put one of the best teams in NESCAC history in the middle of the pack of the Patriot league.

I would say that is Paulsen being modest. I was at the game, and I have played against Holy Cross players. Year in and year out Holy Cross has been considered a tournament team (this year ESPN ranked them around 40th preseason) Also RIC had a pre-season scrimmage against Holy Cross this year in which they won by one point. Now I agree that this isn't the norm, but a strong case can be made for the upper NESCAC teams (depending on the year) would have a decent season in the Ivy League or Patriot League. The better players being recruited by top NESCAC schools tend to look at the Ivy or Patriot league as well soy ou can argue the leagues attract a similar player (kid who is interested in academics but doesn't have the athleticism or size to play big time d1). That being said it is usually not the entire Amherst, Williams or Trinity (etc) roster that could make an Ivy or Patriot league team. So if they were to play in those leagues for an entire season it, night in and night out seeing teams that have a whole roster of a NESCAC team's top 2-3 guys, maybe the NESCAC team wouldn't fair so well.
I go back and forth but I finally fall on the side that I think the top NESCAC schools would surprise many people
sorry for the long post, I gotta go jump in my van and catch up to the tour

and I challenge you....to a game of one on one, only we play the way we played back in my day with short shorts and tube socks....

-The greatest bearded center of all time

Its getting closer to the final weekend in the NESCAC, now I know the tournament is coming and anything can happen, but what are people thoughts/emotions about their preseason predictions of the NESCAC regular season and the actual outcome (biggest surprises (team/individual), disappointments (same), who's the most dangerous team heading into the tourney? Let's get some chatter here

I love you FormerBant
