I am asking you since you had an opinion about Richard Stockton and the Top 25,...... what is the difference in their team and record for the 2009 season vs the 2014 season?

In other words why would bey be ranked then and not ranked now?

not about who won championships

I am sticking to my guns here.

If Stockton beats Ramapo Saturday to move to 13-2, only 6 home games in that time,......having lost only 2 games both on the road for 3 points combined,.. that close to 15-0,...

Dominating opponents

They deserve to be ranked between 15-20, well insidfe the Top 25

Like I wrote weeks ago, somewhere,.. being ranked high, and getting decent seeding in the ncaa year in year out, is a self fullfilling machine

it look like politics to me

stockton had a new arena, they got ranked high and had home games in the ncaa

thats what it looks like, politics

however, if it were to be looked at legitimatley, this season Stockton can be a Top 25 team

hplc... I did answer that question... go back and read the part on who they played in '09 especially in out of conference play.

you think a team like Amherst in the middle of the regular season can go in galloway and beat Stockton this year,.. maybe maybe not,.... they''ll mauyl them on the boards

what games are you watching?

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Yeah... I do think the defending national champions can go into Richard Stockton's place and win... and I don't think it will be close.

That's is then,.....  maybe then would, maybe they wouldn't, we will never know for sure.

Amherst plays a chesscake schedule, a meat pitch schedule,..... they dont get hammered in the lane game after game.

NJAC is one of the tuffest conferences in the nation.

You go into one of these gyms, againast a Top NJAC  team, good luck not gettin g hurt.


hplc2222

you think Amherst 5 foot 8 point guard would go into galloway and rain threes? Amherst wouldnt last 10 minutes in the NJAC

Amherst is the defending natl champion and went toe to toe with a D1 opponent this yr. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't last 10 mins in a conference that hasn't won an ncaa game in quite a bit

Yet they seem to do well in March, where the NJAC hasn't of late.

Nova Southeastern is a D2 school, for what it's worth.

I get all that. But think a moment,........ if you reversed their respective conferences, put Amherst in the NJAC and Stockton in Amherst's conference the past 10 years

with the high seeds available Amherst has gotten, it is a self running machine,
in Amhersts conference, the positions would be reversed

Since like they 86 or 87 season Stockton has averaged 19 wins a year,.... put them in Amhersts conference that jumps to 22-23 wins a year in regular season

Then we are talking about high ranking in the ncaa, and high seeding in the ncaa,.. giving you a shot at a national title every year

i see it clearly

and it isnt just amherst and the new england smalls

However , I respect teams like St Thomas, who I think can beat Stevens Point this year

Every once in a while the NJAC  has a team that would compete in any conference, and I believe Stockton is that team this year

Um,  just NO!

The NESCAC is a far better conference than the NJAC

don't just say things to say things, Amherst plays schools with less than 1000 students,... Yeah Stockton lost at montclair by 1 point, they have like 18,000 students, should be a d2 or d1 team

you are not looking at it right

The size of the school has nothing to do with the ability of the basketball team.

Perhaps you should look into the history of NESCAC National Championship teams and how many NESCAC schools have progressed to the Final Four since being allowed to compete in the national tournament.    Through the same half of the bracket as the NJAC schools most of the time I might add.


School size means zero by the way.
