Chiz,

I guess those alums didn't study....so they sent them to IPAQ.....?

Yesterday's game was everything that is good about college baseketball, two teams playing their hearts out being cheered on by a gym full of rabid supporters.  One of the greatest things I ever saw that gym took place when the entir crowd rose to their feet with 16 secs left.  What a scene...

As for the game, King's did what they needed to do.  R. Nenstiel went off, and he's been showing that potential explosiveness for the past two weeks.  The thing with Nenstiel is on fire like that, he tries to do too much.  That's when he starts forcing shots and makes questionable passes.  It's just not King's style to have one player run the whole show out there, this team wins because they play team basketball.

As for Stricker, other than getting everyone of King's bigs in foul trouble, I thought they did a decent job of containing him in the second half.  I said it would be a battle, and Soboleski met the challenge.

Projections put King's in the Atlantic Regional as a 5 seed against Lincoln (4).  Question... how is the Middle Atlantic Corporation - Freedom winner NOT placed in the Middle Atlantic Region?

Nais:  Janitors are great sources.  They never sweep anything under the rug and are always looking for more dirt.  (lol).

"The thing with Nenstiel is on fire like that, he tries to do too much.  That's when he starts forcing shots and makes questionable passes. "

And just how many shots did he miss? 1  That's right 8 for 9 and 100% behind the arc.  3 for 3.

Yeah, he really forced that one miss....ho  ho   ho

No its not the point of missing shots, which he didn't.  There were a few times down the court which he made some bad passes and turned the ball over a few times.  Thus why he made the sub...

That was a little over my head.  I think you were trying to do a play on words there.  Whatever, but I'm giving you a karma plus for that.

Well, King's fans, there's good news, and there's bad news.

Good news: You open at home on Thursday, against a 14-12 Widener team.

Bad news: Winner get the honor of playing #3, 25-2 Amherst, at their place on Saturday.  After a bye.  And coming off a loss.

Col:  Sounds like one and done for the Monarchs but you never know.    Leo:  Are you saying that R.Nensteil has too much talent for this team oriented King's squad and  that he can't incorporate his many skills into the system.  I don't follow your reasoning.   When a guy is as hot as he was on Saturday, you ride him all day long, until he cools off, and you certainly dont let him cool off on the bench.  The only downside I saw in his game Sat was that he had a tendency to leave his feet and get caught in the air a few times but even then he still made the nice pass.  However, 8 out of 9 and 3 of 3, as Nais points out, c'mon, he should have been in there more.  JP doesn't miss much and I'm sure he had his reasons for taking out his hottest guy.  The fact is Kings ended up cutting down the nets anyway, but I still remember the quizzical look in RN eyes during a 2nd half time out, as if to say, there is no one on this team that can guard me, and I'm on fire.   As Fogerty says "Put me in coach, I"m ready to play".

Toga,  Now that i'm down in Catholic country i've ducked out of MAC discussions for the most part.  Plus, I took a beating the last time I was on here...so my bruised ego retreated to the sideline..lol 

If...and I definitely need to stress the IF...King's can get by Amherst the bracket is winnable...but that's still a BIG IF.  Leo...this is definitely a pretty exciting draw for you I would think.

hey guys, I've been surfin D3hoops.com for a while but never knew there was a message board here. I'm the former play by play announcer for King's College... good to see there's a board with this much interest in D-III basketball, my team, my conference no less.

I'm happy with the bracket, although if King's gets past Widener I have a feeling Amherst is going to be a tough draw.

Hey Nais, it's Joe Greis!

[cold_case]

Oh, OK.

[Jimmy Mac]

eh, no.   

my username is a derivative of my real name, actually.

anyway, i'm very excited about the game on thursday. I wish I could broadcast it, but since I took the semester off this year I haven't gotten the opportunity to do as many broadcasts as I'd like to. I wish King's could have done it last year, that would have been awesome. But, whether I'm behind the mic or sitting in the stands, I really hope the Monarchs can ride this all the way to Virginia.

and speaking of broadcasting, Pat Coleman, I have a car now (equaling reliable transportation and whatnot) so, even though it's probably too late for this year's tourney, I'll get some demos in for next year.
