MBB: Little East

I was listening to and watching the game. Being from VA it was still nice to hear where the wcsu players are from. I knew just about all the towns. My mother grew up in Waterbury and my dad grew up in Meriden. Still have tons of family up there. Danbury area.

Anyway. Good look to the Colonials tomorrow!

Yup, that was me u saw online.

I'll have full recap Sunday, typing on the phone sucks

RIC 66-61 over CSI, Eastern 64-62 over Oswego, F&M 85-79. Really want to pick Western but F&M has good defensive players to slow down Brooks. F&M has explosive offense I don't think our defense can keep up

Ahh screw it I picked Western in my predictions to advance...Western 85-79

7express, tried to pick you out at the game. Were you sitting near the DIPZONE on the far side of the court? With the crowd, I was unable to make my way over.
Brooks can really light up the court. Fortunately, F&M was able to rest, so they shouldn't be tired tomorrow. Looks like the game will come down to Brooks against Porter. Should be a great game to watch.

I left at halftime of the2nd game but I was sitting first row opposite the home benches pretty far down. I'll prob be in the same spot tomorrow depending on what time I get there.

Btw, anything to fill up the afternoon tomorrow since I have to check out of the hotel at 11?? I'm debating taking a drive to Hershey just to see the place, but anything u would recommend??

Also no disrespect to Amherst, but this game against F&M will be our toughest until the final 4. Amherst is beatable away from home as Brandeis showed this year, and of course MIT/RIC/Farmindale/Statem Island are easily beatable as well.

Anyways, HUGE day for the LEC Saturday. Even though all 3 are playIng true road games at least 2 of the 3 should win.

3 wins would be great, 2 would be expected, 1 would be dissapointing but seeing all ate roadies shouldn't be surprising, 0 wins would put the conference right back where it was at the beginning of the year. I have all 3 winning, please don't let me down!

7express
Not much to see in Hershey--amusement isn't open
Not much to see in Amish country--too early for planting season, but the unusual warm weather does have some farming being done.
Don't know your interests, so can't help much
Enjoy the game tonight.
Great atmosphere last night with the Brooks's show in the first game and the huge crowd for the second game. I wonder how attendance was around the nation.

ECSU....Not really. 7express has particular mannerisms that somewhat defines him. I was watching DQ Brooks make the shot and someone jumped up....and as the camera swung around, 7 with his attire and his manner....I made the connection. When he and I attended the Amherst vs. Williams game, we sat on the front row, across from the team bench. Great viewing seats but we were at mid court. 7 made a smart move to go towards the end.....no/less fans blocking one's view and easier to move around, etc.
I was watching a number of games last night. Went to the ECSU game a bit, then to the F&M site and then stayed at the Midd. site for awhile to get a idea of how AMC from New Haven plays. When the Amherst WBB game was delayed, I returned to the WCSU game...best on-line coverage...to see 7express make his moves.
7Express....every team can win at this time of the year. Amherst lost to the UAA team...Brandeis in part because Toomey did not play and Kalema was having a learning experience. Also Brandeis played well and then they went on and won a number of games in the UAA.
Amherst plays NYU...a UAA team. Their fans made a small mistake Thursday.....calling out Amherst. I'm sure we will welcome them accordingly.
Hope the LEC teams march forward in March!

7express: Get yourself to Gettysburg! It's about 55 miles from Lancaster--about an hours+ drive on Rt 30, if memory serves. Go there, take in the battlefield, especially if it's a nice day.

Even if you're not that interested in American history, it's an awesome (in the true sense of the word) experience. It's one of the places in this country that every American should visit at least once in his/her life.

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!!!!

Easy 10 point win? Interesting comment, seeing how WCSU never led in the second half until 2 or 3 minutes remained. Congrats on the win, but I think CNU let that one slip away....

Reserved Seat · March 03, 2012, 03:50:15 PM

Definitely not an easy win. Most of the fans having never seen Brooks before, thought CNU had the game in the bag. CNU could have managed the clock better towards the end to keep the ball out of Brooks. Brooks put on an awesome performance. I've seen higher scoring players at Mayser, but never 45 points in a half.

I took a field trip there in 8th grade. Drove through it today but stayed in the car.
