Prez paid the ultimate peanlty. The player from Springfield may have more coming in he form of a suspension.

I agree with everything you say regardidng Vayda, Clark and the NEWMAC. I just wanted his name out there.

The best big in the league didn't even get a sniff. Brian Vayda should have been recognized a little bit. On the national stage for what he did in the final week as well as the season. Clark underachieved as a team in the regular season but he didn't. I also have to say the NEWMAC is a tough physical league more than many I think.

This should be called the MIT board not the NEWMAC. All teams deal with injuries players academicaly unable to play and other issues you have to rise above it all. I love you guys. I love Coach Anderson but, Coach Anderson does a great job but.... They didn't get it done thats all. You guys have been bragging about your depth all year. You can't have it the other way. Rmember this beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. STRENGTH COMES FROM ADVERSITY. Your bug man is great but you can't rely on him so much. You need to spread it around a little.

Clark will have a very difficult time matching up today but that is why you play. They have nothing to loose.

Clark finally get some love. one of the best games i have ever seen win or loose but wining is nice.

Yes it woulb be but the general question was the differance between The better dIII schools like a Williams and a school such as Salem State. You are right the better players in a division are always bigger, quicker and faster but the general differance between divisions is what I was talking about.

I may be making an assumption that is incorrect but I have watched both teams newmac teams are playing on video online it surely didn't seem very physical. I would be very concerned. It looked like people were being given a free pass to the basket and there was noo bodying up like we see.

I haven't seen Williams yet but it is my impression that as you go up in level the players are 3 inches bigger and 20 pounds heavier or more and the athleticism and quickness increases. I know of players that have gotten scholarships to play DII ball and left because they got little playing time. I also think you see players make a few more little mistakes maybe they make more turnovers maybe they only have one go to move. Jst my opinion. I will say this it is very physical no matter the level. It sure isn't the game I learned. Certainly the NESCAC schools and some NEWMAC schools may attract a kid that can play DI but want that great sheepskin.

I have a question of others more experienced than me. Do teams run into big changes in the way games are called by the refs when they travel out of the northeast or are the games just as physical everywhere or even more so.

I wuld love to see MIT and Clark win at least a couple games each. That would make a nice statement for the NEWMAC. Good luck Boys. I hope all are healthy and ready for the tourney.

Boy talk about sour grapes. MIT didn't take care of business. If they had made to the final and lost that might have helped. Clark played MIT strong both times during the regular season. Clark lost at least 8 games by 4 points or less. Jekyl and Hyde team they threw big punch in the first half most of the time but couldn't close it out. They are loosing seniors  buut they still have a young core. My felling was if Clark had a chance to get their it was this year. As MIT matures they will be that much tougher.
