I agree...

Look at the UAA, with 5 teams that have hit the top 25 and few out of conference losses, those teams are beating or losing to top 25 (or then top 25 rated) weekly once con play starts, throw in a smattering of top 25 (or top 25 then) wins in the out of conference game, ie Bates and DePauw and tell us how Cortland and others stack up.......just look at how badly most AQ's get beat in the 1st or 2nd round of the tourny every year.

Pat,

Ok I will take you at your word, and never (fingers crossed) accuse you of UAA bias again

Waltzy....good come back

You guys are clowns. First of all if there is a D3Hoops.com bias it is and has always been against the UAA. I think Pat Colman will agree that he has a natural dilike for the conference. Second, your elitist attitude with regard to the Nescac academics and playing dates policy is laughable. The UAA is easily as academically strong as the NESCAC and frankly, how about traveling 1/2 way across country for Friday/Sunday games. Also, regarding your elitist statments concerning your 3 teams in the NCAA's the last three year, compare your totals over the past 10 years with the UAA and oh how many NESCAC National Champions have there been over that period, you sound like you have had more the the UAA....

But at least you don't play that bush schedule that the LEC does...you know where USM or ECSU beat the crap out of all those power houses they play and then spit the bit.

I think that Emory may be worthy of some top 25 votes, and stick to my earlier position that Brandeis and Chicgo, returning all their players from teams that beat Wah U and NYU last year will be the UAA teams to beat

What the Heck Happened, I go home for vacation and the wheels fall off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jag, my point earlier in the year that remove Manning and this team just isn't as good as past teams seems to be so. KMann has a so so game, fouls out and BAng SlAm BoOm

Jag, I am pumped for the UAA play to start. In fairness, your comment about Brandeis not playing anyone of merit, If I remember correctly, they had the 1st match up of top 25 teams  this year, playing Bates in their conference final. Everybody have a great Christmas and/or Holiday....See ya next year....GO UAA

Jag,

another 10-0 with NYU, 9-0 also winning and just waiting for Chicago score to extend them to 9-0 and Brandeis done for the semester at 6-0. Again the premier conference in the Nation and with Case and Emory Playing so well as well as Rochester   tough top to bottom

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, let's see, Wash U wins starts the season 10-0 and another all mighty Northeast superpower bites the dust. Come one guys, maybe it just isn't the NE's year. Last couple years NE teams spit the bit anyway. UAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAA
UAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAAUAA

Arch, you da man.

I worry though, I believe everything is centered on Kmann and I disagree, I don't think the other four are as strong as last year, I mean there is no Hutchens out there. But they are goooooooooooodddddddddddddd

OK, I am going to be serious and not obnoxious hear (haha that spelling is for my good friend from the Northeast).

Even though I have never seen USM I will give them the Top spot until beaten, obviously there is almost as good competition in the NE as the UAA, albeit not all in the same conference. Also, considering WU beat Middlebury and Brandeis beat Bates and it seems both teams are solid I am giving the edge to Brandeis and WU for 2-3 in the poll with Bowdoin being 4th Capital 5th and BW 6th-after that I don't know enough except that in the past George Fox beats everyone then get to a solid competitor in the NCAA and loses so they would NOT be next in my book. Additionally, I do belive that the UAA is the strongest conference this season, with Chicago and NYU both being undefeated as well and I give Chicago an edge for playing what seems to be better competition compared to NYU. I also think that Case is much stronger then recent years as evidenced in close games with rank opponents and Emory is now an experienced team and the vets are doing well. Also, Rochester is an above average team. So thats it from me I expect the top 5 to look like USM, Brandeis, Wash U, Bowdoin and Capital.

As a WU student who has seen last years team and this years team and the other UAA teams I am convinved that KMann is the Player of the year. Should she go down with and injury or foul trouble the supporting cast is not near what it was last year, and KMann has been unstoppable. I think all round, since Brandeis and Chicago returned evryone from last year, they both will give WU trouble, I think both may have a better top 5 then us, but I also think we are deeper then both as has been the case in the past. Interesting matchups, can wait til next year.

Well the WBCA gets it...Wash U #2....but come on NOT 1 vote for Chicago, how can that be

Oh yea, forgot, Chicago got some deserved respect, after all they did beat us once last year. Looks like 4 in top 25 next week baring a bad loss by someone
