Hartwick continues to improve...beat Naz on the road last night.   Blazak is back from his hamstring injury (missed the whole 1st semester) and freshman Jared Sudderly is a legit player.  I think they will make the E-8 Playoffs this year.

Phil Barera from Ithaca College was named to the D3Hoops All-East Region First Team. Sean Rossi from Ithaca, James Patterson from Utica College, and Simon Smith from Stevens Tech were named to the Second Team. Hartwick's Jared Suderley was named Rookie of the Year.

David Golembiowski from SUNYIT was the Player of the Year. Golembiowski wraps up his career as one of the most prolific scorers and rebounders in the history of the East region. He finished with over 2100 points and almost 1000 rebounds.

Luke Flockerzi of Rochester was named the Coach of the Year. A number of coaches from the E8, SUNYAC, Liberty League and NEAC also had excellent seasons and were probably in the running for this award. Most notably Jim Mullins from Ithaca, Todd McGuinness from Hartwick, Adam Stockwell from Oswego State, Fajri Ansari from Buffalo State, Izzi Metz from Hobart, Joe Burke from Skidmore and Joe Wojtylko from Wells.     

Congratulations to all of these players and coaches for an outstanding year.

I truly hope that Ithaca gets a chance to dance but I am afraid it might not happen.  So many good teams in the Northeast and there is already a bias in that direction (just look at the d3 rankings) and truthfully, if you look at past results, the bias is probably justified.  I can only hope that the committee can not see fit to only dole out one pool c bid to the entire east region (I am assuming that Oswego goes) and makes some other region's team the "bubble team that got screwed"!

If I hear one person claim "Ithaca got screwed out of a bid," I'm going to lose my ****ing mind. Getting screwed to me is a team playing in a deep conference, finishing 2nd, and missing out. It is not losing in the opening round of your conference tournament for the 8th year in a row--and the third time in four years as the #1 seed, no less--and expecting the selection committee to do what you couldn't do and write you a way into the dance.

The Bombers have had a very good season, and played a very tough schedule. According to one assistant I spoke to yesterday, they've played, by far, the toughest schedule in the East.

That being said, Ithaca's go no-one to blame but itself if it misses out. I'm short on sympathy for teams that constantly underachieve in the conference playoffs and then try to shift the blame to a committee. So if they get left out, I hope all we hear is "Yup. We deserved it"

Great Post...I couldn't agree more.   
Also glad I was wrong about Hartwick pulling out a win at Stevens.  Now a home game for the E8 title...I did predict Wick making the playoffs, but didn't dream that they might actually win it.  Great job and Good Luck!

Kean's loss in the NJAC tournament is another blow to any at-large hopes Ithaca may have. Looking increasingly like it's win or go home for the Bombers.

I would agree.

I'll go with Ithaca to win the E-8 tourney. I hope Hartwick can right the ship and upset Stevens in NJ, but I don't think they will. 

I believe the winner of Utica & Ithaca game will win the title.  My guess is Ithaca.  As always,  Utica is peaking at playoff time, but I agree that Ithaca's depth will prevail this year.   That said, Utica is certainly capable of pulling off another tournament upset. 

Congratulations to Jessica Berry of Utica on joining the elite 2000 Points/1000 Rebounds club.

I noticed  Peterson wasn't on the roster. Why isn't she playing this year?

Sorry...posted this on the wrong thread...But maybe it could start a new discussion.

The 5-15-5 theory has some merit...but as others have said - it depends on who you are playing on the bad nights.  Strength of schedule can throw that theory out the window. 

I feel it makes more sense to look at the teams actual schedule and break it down into 3 categories. 

1) Games that should be wins
2) Games that may be loses 
3) Games that could go either way

The #'s in each category will vary based on the strength of your team and the strength of your schedule.

A good, well coached team should:
-Lose no more than one game from column #1,
-Win 50 % from column #2
-Win 75% from column #3.
 
If this happens you have had a successful season

Well deserved Congratulations to Jessica Berry of Utica for breaking the school scoring record earlier this week.  An excellent blue collar player who works hard and  plays with a team first mentality.  She is only 56 rebounds short of 1,000 and closing in on 2,000 points as well.

Hartwick continues to improve...beat Naz on the road last night.   Blazak is back from his hamstring injury (missed the whole 1st semester) and freshman Jared Sudderly is a legit player.  I think they will make the E-8 Playoffs this year.
