It doesn't need to be 1,500, I believe it is 1,000.

I was the one interviewed by Dean Corwin at halftime...Baruch got to host based on their higher seeding...but this is just their third year in this facility. They used to play at a high school gym - when they definitely would not have hosted.

The ability to have a post-game show is not a requirement of hosting.

Wow...a new facility at Baruch & it really seats 1,500...that's great...now if they could have only insisted on 2 phone lines in the design then it would really would have been complete. Not that I expected the Royals to make it to the Sweet 16 this season given some of their more glaring limitations...but, a 25 point thumping to a good team...not a great team... on a neutral court is somewhat disappointing. Hopefully this experience will help the many returning kids prepare that much harder for next season & the staff at Scranton gain a little edge in recruiting the players it will take to win on the National level.

The facility has two phone lines. Scranton and NCAA Sports both broadcasted the game separately.

patcummings · March 04, 2006, 12:12:50 PM

There are 2 phone lines...NCAASports.com (using D3hoops broadcasters) took up the other other line for both games.

I think I'm seeing double. And I don't even drink.

It's the Xanax.

It has taken me this long to get over the Scranton loss.

saratoga · March 07, 2006, 09:15:30 PM

Me too...more like the ambush at Baruch gulch.

Congrats to local HS grad Chris Shovlin - Monmouth won a bid to the NCAA Tournament last night, and it's good to see a local point guard make the NCAAs, just in case McNamara's 'Cuse can't make it.

What's that you say? Shovlin transferred? Oh. $:-\$ Nevermind...

NeverNeverMind???

CJ,

Is that near Never Never Land??

If anyone was watching the Monmouth game, Monmouth had a center by the name of John Bunch at 7 foot 1. He played for Lincoln as a freshman and sophomore. He looked pretty good. Nice to see a d3 transfer do well.

Naismith,
More like Never, Never Mind Brutico's?

Adam got some airtime on TV yesterday, now he's looking to move into taking over for Mitch Miller's orchestra.

And, where is nightstalker? The overrated NJAC has come up short yet again in its quest for that elusive national championship. If that conference couldn't win it with Trenton State and "Machine Gun" Grant, they never will.

Section J Guy · March 12, 2006, 08:57:33 PM

Think it burns shovlin that he could have been in the D 1 NCAAS?

The over-rated NJAC took out both MAC champions in quite embarassing fashion if I recall. I even recall reading a couple of posters saying it took them a few days to get over the thrashing that WPU gave Scranton. WPU gave up an average of 46 points per game for four games, that is not an overrated team, that is a very good defensive team. They unfortunately had to run into a team that plays defense as well as they do in VA Wesleyan.

A MAC-F fan calling the NJAC overrated is like a Syracuse newspaper calling McNamara overrated...

That said, I can't wait to see John Bunch make some noise in the NCAA's. Just a shame Monmouth got a 16 seed. I was hoping they'd get stuck in the play-in game, y'know, give them a shot at an NCAA victory.
