Thanks for the explanation. I figured they would be in but hearing all these opinions is driving me crazy! They have to get in.

Just remember that western did beat eastern twice, did beat rhode island, beat wpi by 15, beat plattsburgh state when they were ranked, beat trinity and colby who are two necsac teams. No way Eastern jumps Western to being considered for the tournament. At the end of the day, Western is still 21-5, they have an all-american on their team, they lost twice on the road, two neutral and 1 home. 21 wins regardless of when and how they won, they pulled out 21 wins, hit the 20 mark and have some big wins, something most teams can't say. There's no way I see the committee not letting them in two years in a row.

Hopefully your right! I feel like Western could be a surprise, I've seen this team at their best, and if this team gets it together and gets in this tournament, they may make a STRONG run. The committee needs to put this team in the NCAA tournament. 

Hey I heard on the show tonight that you guys probably wouldn't have westconn in the tournament? All this waiting is killing me! Can anyone give me a logical answer on whether they'd have the colonials in the tournament or not?

Haven't been on here in a while and I've been watching the games online wondering what's been going on with these guys and now I'm seeing it was internal issues? I still think were counting Westconn out too early. Remember that teams in the Little East see eachother night in and night out. They beat up on eachother, recognize the plays, know the tendencies of almost all the players. You throw Western into the NCAAs versus teams that haven't played them at all and they are bound to make noise. Let's just pray that they get the oppurtunity.

What are the chances of Western Connecticut getting the pool C bid with WPI losing in there conference championship today?

Does anyone really know what the stipulations are for hosting the LEC tournament, I'm sure there is confusion throughout the conference for where they will be playing. Can anyone get the official ruling? I know WCSU is saying they will host it with a win on Saturday but RIC is also saying they will host.

Can't really say too much about other teams in the Little East, but I can throw out some nominations from what I've seen from West Conn. Best player would have to be Daquan Brooks leading the league in points and assists without playing the point. For point guard, I really like the point guard play of Martin from Keene and Gray from RIC. Bentil and Addy could be thrown in the mix with Addy being number 2 in the league in Assist to Turnover ratio while Bentil is 5th. For best rookie or newcomer, I'd have to go with Russel Payton who's racked up the LEC rookie of the week awards. Best shooter, I would nominate Brooks and Jengodgi Gates from Westconn and for Best defender, I would have to go with Addy.

Sorry about the error, meant to say Top 15.

That may definitely be true. BIG game tomorrow! Can't wait to see these two teams battle it out.

Western Connecticut making a top 10 debut this week? Playing excellent basketball and have proven to be one of the quickest, if not the quickest D3 team in the nation.

I think the big matchup will come down to jarrett vs kohn. That may be the X-factor. Also how Bentil and Addy defend Nedwick will be key. I don't know if it would be such a good idea to have Nedwick running around chasing Brooks. Does Eastern have anyone besides Nedwick that would be able to contain Brooks?

Eastern vs Western game should be a good one, I'm hoping the colonials can pull this one out to put them in first place. I think the guard play of Brooks, Addy, Bentil will prove to be too much for Easterns backcourt but I don't know, we'll have to wait and see. Should be a great game between crosstown rivals.

Westconn needs to get it together fast. Got outrebounded by 30 and still managed to stay in the game and had 3 chances to tie within the last minute. Showed flashes of how good they could be, made costly mistakes down the stretch and couldn't get the big rebounds when it counted.

Westconn loses to Keene State and gets out rebounded by almost 30 boards! The only bright side to that is they still only lost by 5 and had about 4 chances to tie the game within the last minute but could not come up with the defensive rebound. Great comeback at the end but good job Keene.
