Here's hoping for a Pool C bid ECSUalum! I want to see a third CT school in the NCAAs. East Conn has always been a good group and I know they always play hard.

+1!!

Congrats to Eastern Conn and ECSUalum on your NCAA selection! Now you get to go to Plattsburgh and meet the Magicman. Trust me ECSUalum , he will very easy to find.  He will be in the gym about 2 hrs before tipoff ( around the time that they turn the lights on).  I hope that you 2 get a chance to meet each other!

Thanks Bengal,
Sounds like Magic eats, sleeps, and lives the Cardinals... good for him . Not sure I will make the trip to the "far north".  May just watch from home. Take care

So is anybody over here planning to make the trip up to Plattsburgh? I thought I might see ECSUalum or 7express making the trip up. If anybody's coming and I can help out in any way don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks Magic,
It is about a 550 mile round trip for me from SW CT.  I presume SUNY Plattsburgh will do an excellent job with streaming the videos of the games!  I know 7 does a lot traveling to games.....7..?

I wish!  Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to have the time.  That's almost, if not more than 5 hours from where I am.

#8 Plymouth state @ #1 Nichols
The lone LEC team in the ECAC's, LEC fans get an appetizer to the main course of the NCAA, in the first round of this ECAC matchup.  The Panthers of Plymouth State head down to Dudley, MA to take on the Bison of Nichols college.  Plymouth finished 13-12 on the year and 7-7 in the LEC with a quarterfinal loss to Western Connecticut in the LEC tournament.  Nichols finished 22-6 and 16-2 in the CCC, and has only lost twice since January 4, however one of those 2 losses was to Gordon in the CCC finals which is how Nichols ended up in the ECACs and not the NCAAs.  The Bison are lead by senior forward Ryan Sheehan who was recently named a Jostens trophy finalist, and earlier this year set the Nichols career scoring record.  The Bison as a team average 78.6 ppg, with Sheehan at 18.6 ppg and Sam Horning at 10.0 per game.  The Bison are coming in as a heavy 12 point favorite.  Plymouth has nobody to match up with Sheehan, and I don't think the Panthers have the firepower on offense to match up with them either.  I'll take Nichols 86-68.

Understandable guys, I know it's a long haul. Years ago I used to breed and show Harlequin Great Danes and made many trips to  Willimantic, Hartford, Danbury, Cromwell, Boston, and many other stops in New England. I put a lot of miles on my vans hauling my dogs to your neck of the woods.  
There will be video and live stats and it is always an excellent webcast. Northeast Sports Network does it and they have professional announcers with a quality picture. As webcasts go, it's one of the best out there.

I will definitely be watching Magic!  Unfortunately, if both Eastern & P'Burgh advance which I think they will, it'll be one of the few times I'll root against the Cardinals, but hopefully if they play it turns out to be a great game no matter which team wins.

I wouldn't mind both of them advancing, in fact I'm rooting for it. Then I'd like to see a replay of that Eastern Connecticut-Oswego game of 2 years ago that went to double overtime. Of course I'd want a slightly different result. Maybe Eddie Correa hitting a three pointer for the Cardinals to win 70-69.
