[Mr. Ypsi]

John Jay winning means an upset happened.

OR that Moravian had no business in the tourney.

+1,  Mr Ypsi!

Occidental beats Pomona-Pitzer to advance to the 2nd round. Final score was 52-51. Oxy's Connor Whitman hits a 5 ft runner with 12 seconds left for the game winner. Pomona had a last chance to win, taking a time out with 6.5 secs left, but their final shot was blocked by Huston Conti. Whitman led the tigers with 15 pts, all in the 2nd half. Chris Hunt chipped in with 14. Justin Sexton led Pomona with 20 pts.

Why is that?

Why is that?

John Jay finished tied for 6th in the ever-tough CUNYAC before winning the AQ.  On the other hand, Moravian may replace U Dallas as the 'avatar' of 'Bumblin' Bs'!

Ever-tough CUNYAC?  Is that the same CUNYAC that is right across the river from NJ?  The CUNY did well against the NJAC this year but they are not that tough a conference.  They are tough against each other but generally they do not fare well against out of conference opposition.

pabegg.

Thanks for all the work you put in keeping us informed as to the Pool C's.

Also kudos to Tom Doebler and David Collinge for all your updates thruout the season.

Plus k for all.

So, you are agreeing with me? 

Thanks magicman.

The NJAC was considered down anyway, right?  One team in the tourney.  John Jay must have been considered better than Moravian, even though the latter got the home game.

I believe Mr. Ypsi was being sarcastic.

KS, I've often been accused of too many emoticons - for you I guess I use to few!  I thought it was clear that 'ever-tough' was meant sarcastically.

OS, see above!  To NYBB, John Jay beating anybody probably constituted an upset.  But Moravian may be located somewhere below 'anybody'.  If Amherst doesn't have a win locked up by halftime, cancel their Final Four reservations.

John Jay vs Moravian, both a couple of dogs. (Bloodhounds vs Greyhounds)

Moravian was probably a mild favorite against John Jay.

YES! 

Not picking on you Mr Ypsi, but I think that UDallas was a little deceptive and needs to be replaced as the "avatar". 

As I ran Pool B in my calculations that year, I thought that UDallas was the final Pool B candidate in a very weak Pool B.  UDallas was 8-3 in-region and took Sul Ross State to the wire, losing 71-67 in Alpine.  Two nights later SRSU drove 400 miles to San Antonio to beat a #8 Trinity team 74-72 in OT.  SRSU then rode three hours by bus to El Paso and then flew  to Sea-Tac, where they lost in OT to a well-respected #23 Lawrence team, who in turn lost in OT to national champion UWSP on a neutral floor.  (2004 Week 14 Men's Top 25)

Comparative scores are always dangerous, but those games were very tight!

I am never quite sure with Mr. Ypsibonney, sometimes he is serious when everyone thinks he is joking.

Besides, my brain has not been functioning normally lately.  I really haven't been able to follow what has been going on this season.  Must be having my mid-life crisis.
