Congrats to Eastern on an outstanding season! Nice run they had in the NCAA tourney! Hope that the LEC continues to make as much noise as it did this year for years to come! Hoping to have another great year of bball next year with the top 4 teams Western,Eastern,RIC, and Keene. Congrats to all the teams this year and hopefully an even better next year!

Congrats to Western on a hell of a season! A lotta fun with the greatness this year! Congrats to one of, if not THE, greatest player in the LEC ever, DaQuan Brooks. Won't be the same without him anymore. Looking forward for another great season next year! Also congrats to Eastern on advancing and wishing them the best of luck to go far!

Yup 52 points.  I'd say that's pretty good.  I knew he was gonna take over the 2nd refuse to lose.  CNU had no answer in the 2nd half for him, we'll what F&M can come up with tomorrow.

He's just a beast dude! No questioning! Cant wait for tomorrow, bring on F&M baby, let's gooooooo!

Just like I called it baby! DaQuan had an UNSTOPPABLE game went crazyyyyy with 52 points! Westconn with easy 10 point win! Let's get it boyssss! #RoadToTheFinalFour!!!!

Game day! So pumped! Hoping to see DaQuan drop some big numbers tonight! Gotta good feeling today for western!

Friday predictions:

Western 78 vs. Christopher Newport 73 (game in Lancaster, PA). 
As usual, this game will come down to DaQuan Brooks.  If he can get open and make his shots I'll take our chances, if CNU is able to shut him down and not give him easy looks, I may have Saturday free in Lancaster.  Both teams are averaging over 80 ppg and both are giving up more than 70 ppg, so there should be a lot of points scored.  The Captains are 1-4 in games this year against teams that made the NCAA tournament, and the only win came by 2 in overtime.

RIC 73 vs. Salem state 66 (gamke in Staten Island, NY). 
Since beating MCLA 101-76 on January 10th to snap a skid where the Vikings had lost 5 of their last 6 games, that win over MCLA started a stretch where they won 13 of 14 to end the year including 11 straight W's.   The Vikings are 2-0 against LEC teams this year beating Dartmouth 83-80 and Plymouth 101-82.  In their stretch of 13 wins in 14 games the Vikings have scored at least 71 points in all of those 1 wins.  Taking out the 2 wins against Western, RIC hasn't had a win this year where they've given up 69+ points.  Whichever style wins out wins, but I like RIC.

Eastern 70 vs. Medaille 69 (game in Oswego, NY).
This will be the first game this year Medaille would have played against a team in the NCAA tournament.  Madaille is 25-2, but as I said, they haven't played a game yet against an NCAA tournament team.  Medaille averages 77.5 ppg and gives up an average of 63.3 ppg, and only have 1 player that averages double digit scoring.  Eastern should win by at least 8.

Agree with the predictions. Think that if Newport cannot shut down DaQuan it will be an easy win for western. Games almost here, so pumped!

ECSUalum & 7Express - Agree with both of you! Western definitely can be ANY given team on any given day. As long as westconn plays D and has a well spread offense, they could make it pretty far in the tourney. I agree with 7 when saying its LEC's time to make some noise! I got a feeling that one of the 3 teams is going very far. Good luck to all! And by the way, does anyone know if the western game will be available online on friday? Would love to watch live video! Thanks again

Sorry for jumping back... but just wanted to give you the link for the Western CNU game on Friday (and F&M/York and the Sat. game)
godiplomats.com/live

All three will be broadcast.

(I just came in to spy from the Centennial board and saw this so thought I'd help)

Thank you! Much appreciated! Looking forward to watch westconn play ball again! So pumped for tomorrow!

Although Cherry was a league leader in steals this season, as a freshman.  So from that and being he is 2 inches smaller I bet he is on Brooks to start that game.

Freshmen on DaQuan? Ehhh idk about that....lol

You can say that western could lose Friday IF and that's a BIG IF Newport has someone to guard DaQuan. But I think that western, especially DaQuan, will be looking for revenge. If DaQuan is well guarded it could be an ugly game for western BUT if DaQuan has a good game and carries his team I believe western gets an easy win. It'll be a very good game, 2 pretty evenly matched up teams except for one edge on western, they have DaQuan Brooks. Prediction: Western 78 Newport 72.

Just emailed the western AD and said there will be no busses for the games . Really hoping to attend the game thought it woulda been alotta fun.

Thank you for all your help 7express! Really do appreciate it! Will definitely shot him an email ASAP! Thanks again lets hope we can get some help.

I doubt it, if they haven't posted one my now, but I'll give it another day.  Maybe a lot of people requested it today and they'll post it tomorrow.  If it's not there by tomorrow then there's definitely not going to be one.

Damn. Is there anyway I could send a request even though I don't go to westconn? Would be a hell of a time if we could get one! Would know a lot of people that would love to join!

@wcsu91 and @wcsufan14

as of 3:20 on Tuesday, still no e-mail of a fan/student bus.

In your honest opinion, do you think they will have one if they haven't sent out a notice yet? And is there anyway that they would allow it if enough people request it?

Congrats to DaQuan Brooks of winning lec player of the year for his THIRD CONSECUTIVE time!!! Really a historic career! Definitely will be missed! I agree with wcsu91 in saying he's the best player to have ever play in the lec. All around a great player. I hope that we have that bus the wcsu91 is talking about for the game in F&M! Would loveeee a fan bus! Ahhhhh so pumped for Friday!
