Mr. Y,

Get me the information for this so called (objective) criteria!  I can't seem to see where or how the criteria would favor some of these teams are ranked over others.  RIC is a joke at 3, East Conn and West Conn aren't in first place in there league.  MIT is 20 and 1 and Albertus is 20 and 1.  Figure out your criteria and send it to me.  I would be more then happy to be an objective analyst for proper decision making. 

P.S. My rant was warranted. The rankings are a joke!!!   

People have been talking about the Regional Rankings being poorly orchestrated.  To be honest....  Your right!  Those rankings are the biggest pile of horse dung, I have ever seen!!!  Quite frankly, who ever voted and approved these rankings should be ashamed and appalled. 

1) Amherst - Correct
2) Middlebury - Correct
3) Rhode Island College - NOT EVEN CLOSE!
4) Western Connecticut - Maybe 7th, possibly 6th at best!
5) WPI - Overrated
6) Eastern Connecticut - Maybe 9th at best, they just lost to Western, close game but not even close to deserving of this ranking!
7) MIT - regardless of who they have played, there 20 and 1!
8) Keene State - this is insulting to the Owls, there fans, the league and anyone associated with Northeast Rankings.
9) Wesleyan - Correct, good team... making some noise but this is the proper spot for now!
10) Tufts - Overrated.......  I need not say more.  There lucky to be ranked at all.
11) Becker - Good team, not better then Albertus Magnus.  Proper spot for now.
12) Albertus Magnus - Good Team, has good wins...  Got screwed by the clowns who voted for this rankings.

Bottom line, win your conference championship because the clowns who vote for these rankings all have there own agendas....

PS. To my East Conn friends who are in these posts.  It's not personal, its just embarrassing that these rankings came out and could potential hurt schools like Albertus Magnus, Keene State, and MIT.

ECSUalum and Warrior.....

1st Off - Dartmouth didn't blow the game vs Keene.  Keene State got about 10 stops down the stretch of the game, forcing UMD to succumb to defeat.   Baptiste is a good coach, he doesn't have the firepower at the guard spots to beat a scrappy team like Keene,  let alone RIC or Eastern. 

2ndly - Keene will beat Eastern on Tuesday night!  I know you are rooting for your boys to come out on top over the Owls.  Unfortunately, the scrappy and much improved defensive Owls are a team that no-one wants to play.

3rd - 3 LEC teams get into the dance.  I'm sick of hearing about the NESCAC getting three bids.  This year the LEC deserves 3 bids.  (Eastern, RIC, Keene or Western)  3 of those teams get in the dance!

4th - Great article on D3hoops regarding DaQuan Brooks, talented and special kid who deserves a lot of credit.
