MBB: Little East

[magicman]

Hey Allstar.

Congrats on your Owls making the Sweet 16 again. What were the odds at the beginning of the season that not only would your Owls make the Sweet 16 again, but would also meet the same team there, that you played last year in the Sweet 16, Christopher Newport. Not only that, you went through the NESCAC and NJAC again, to get there, with an overtime thrown in...just reversed the order.

Can you say Deja Vu all over again???  Hopefully the next chapter has a different ending. Good luck next Friday.

And the next chapter did have a different ending!!!!  Congratulation to the Keene State Owls for gaining a large measure of revenge by taking down the #2 ranked team in the country. The magic carpet ride continues. Good Luck against Babson.

Are you able to make any of these games, AllStar?

Joining the chorus here to congrat the Keene St. team.  A solid win and one that did not go into OT
According to the writeup on D3 hoops, the Keene HC was somewhat surprised....the team believe in their teammates!

ECSUalum.....checked the Baseball schedule.  Amherst plays your team in your school's fine facility this season.  No video of the game at present.
Amherst's team is playing in Florida presently.

I was able to for the one last night and the Little East Tournament, but not the New Jersey trip.  Hopefully the team has more in them for tonight!  It will be a tough one, but we'll see.  You never know.

Yes amh63 April 13 and this game is guaranteed to be streamed by Eastern TV.  Assuming the game is not rained out I will for certain watch live.  ECSU also plays Tufts, Trinity, Wesleyan and MIT this year in out of conference games!!  ECSU begins tomorrow vs Oswego St in Central FL!

We better hope there's still not snow on the ground by then either

Final Congrats to the Owls on a great NCAA Tournament run and season!!  This team had a special quality for post season play over the last 3 years!!

[AllStar]

Great run for the Owls, but as for tonight's game the defense was non-existent against Babson.  Keene scored for about the first 25 minutes, but then the offense was poor and the game was gone.  I hope they can get some recruits and take another shot at it next year.

[AllStar]

Ty Nichols and Matt Ozzella of Keene State were named to all-region teams, as were Tarchee Brown and Hugh Lindo of Eastern Connecticut.  Congratulations to all!

ECSUalum......saw the article...thanks.  A few years back in one of my trips to Salem, I got to meet some members of the All Star team during breakfast as they were staying in the same hotel/motel.  Better yet, I got to meet the father and later the family of a player from the LEC...the player was from RIC, a school that Amherst also  schedules each season.  I enjoyed sitting with the family and chatting with the player's father while watching the game.  The players passion for the game was quite evident to be derived from his proud father.

amh63, I am sure the RIC player's parents were equally pleased to have chatted with you being the D-III BB aficionado that you are!

Hugh Lindo was my favorite interview of the first half for the All-Star game. Seemed very genuine and excited to be there. All student-athletes had great interviews but Hugh definitely stood out to me!
