cantbestopped, relaaaaaaaaaaaax, i dont care what you think at all and my old teammates do appreciate my words, i write in support of them and because i dont get to see any of the other teams in action i only write minimal things about other teams to which i know for sure, as for the person who wrote that i am an average player, i agree, i was an average player at the 4 spot, as for holdin sammy's jock, i dont think he would agree with you. also, anyteam can be beat on any given night in this conference so dont be so sure that its going to be greensburgh and lake erie......as for the hawks, i know they will play their hearts out tonite and come home with a victory and if they play some team ball and limit their mistakes i dont see why they couldnt make it to saturday's game so as always, go reyes, ufland, reinard!

Very well said

I like a guy that supports his team through anything...
I too havent seen much this year and only have gotten the chance to see UPB play..a very disappointing season to say the least..
I just hope that they come back next year and do great things.
Its a great program, at least I think so, and the young players there seem to have talent..they just need to believe in themselfs..

The only thing I will say about the playoffs is that I hope that they are well played and competitive, and no one gets hurt..
And I would love to see a Lake Erie/Hilbert match up

thats it
I'm out

Sweet! Thanks.

I had the feeling Frostburg was going to win (see my previous post), but I didn't have the guts to pick them!

berlychick · February 21, 2006, 11:08:59 PM

WOW

PSB is out..Hard to believe..even if I havent been watching, hard to imagine them not in the finals..

Well, an interesting night in the AMCC tonight.

In the shocker of all shockers, Frostburg State beats Penn State Behrend, 59-54. I really did not see this one coming, but just goes to show that anyone can be beat in this conference on any single day. I think losing Ferguson hurt Behrend a lot more than initially thought.

Hilbert beat LaRoche, 77-63. Good game for the Hawks, and congrats to everyone in Hamburg. From where that team was two-three years ago to where they are now is truly a testament to hard work and determination. Anytime a cellar-dwellar can go from 1 to 5 to 10 to 12 wins and still have a lot of room for improvement with every single player coming back next season, it's great to see no matter who you root for.

So now the semifinals begin with a pair of interesting matchups...

Frostburg has played Greensburg very tough the two times they have faced each other, falling by one on the road before dropping the final game of the regular season in overtime.

Hilbert has also played Lake Erie relatively well, falling at home after being up by double digits and losing in Cleveland by nine. Ask the Storm who they would not have wanted to face from the last nine teams in the conference and I think you would hear Hilbert's name more than once from both the players and the coaching staff.

Should be an interesting and exciting weekend. Anyone know about internet broadcast availability?

Play by play of some of Lake Erie's games this season were available on the Internet at welw.com. However, according to the site, the station is airing other games this Friday and Saturday. I would check the site again later this week, though. Maybe they just haven't updated the schedule.

Wow, who could have imagined the AMCC final four without Bradford and Behrend, a little changing of the guard I think in this conference... Definitely a lot more balance than in the past, but I'm sure those two will be right back in the running next season!

Predictions...... Hilbert will play a hard game against LEC, but I dont see them beating the storm on the road... although they are a very good and improved team, I would say its too much of a challenge... but look out next season, Hilbert could be one of the favorites...they are a very good team on the rise!

UPG will again defeat FSU in a close game... talent wise, UPG has just a little bit more, and I think Cooper will really step up in playoff time!

Finals - I want to go with UPG, mostly because of the way they manhandled LEC in their last meeting, but something tells me that winning at LEC where the storm is unbeaten will be a tough task... also, UPG has a less than stellar mark on the road (they were also unbeaten at home, all 9 losses on the road) ! So final prediction is LEC 85 UPG 80, very close game!

COY - definitely goes to Hilbert's coach...turned a non playoff team into a semi-finalist!

POY - Cooper , anyone who thinks there is a player anywhere near his caliber in this conference, has obviously not seen him play! He is head and shoulders above all other players... and this team lost last year's player of the year, Conlon, along with 3 other starters... and Cooper still leads them to the semi's and a 2nd place regular season finish!

Richardson, Bucynski, Race, Franklin, fill out the rest of the first team!

What a disappointing season for preseason player of the year, Harris, did he even average double digits???

Any word on what's happening tonight? Half time score for FSU? Final?

David Collinge · February 24, 2006, 09:41:37 PM

Check this website's front page for an update on Hilbert vs. LEC.

eaglefan · February 24, 2006, 10:09:18 PM

I want to know what's up with Frostburg SU? Did they overcome the trifecta?

baller3 · February 25, 2006, 08:12:13 AM

Hilbert loses in OT to in VERY winnablw game, great season none the less guys..

Hawk Backer · February 25, 2006, 05:02:51 PM

Wow. What a great way to finish the conference season. Lake Erie pulled out a couple of thrillers and they are to be commended.

Tough loss for the Hawks last night but they have nothing to be ashamed of. With Reinard, Reyes, Ufland and Vandersluis all coming back next season, look for Hilbert to be preseason top 3 if not favorites.

Very exciting conference tournament and Lake Erie will hopefully make the conference proud in the tourney.
