MBB: Conference of New England

[24/7/365]

For those of you who have not been following this board all season, collegeexpert72 actually is James Bartelle.  Just thought this would give us some laughter during our down time.

you also have James Bartelle who is one of the most under rated players right now in D3 basketball with that beautiful jump shot

James Bartelle who came off the bench and was a last year starter caused so much trouble with that deadly outside shot

Bartelle he gets no credit to what he does. He was overlooked last year in making the all conference teams.  People who didn't have a good of a season as he did made it and I really think that he's underated.  Trust me he has all the tools to be a great player, and talking to other College coaches say they fear him more then anybody else on the court because when he on you might as well call it a day. 

Bartelle played with And 1 for the past 2 years, and they are practically begging for him to come and play full time after college on the oppsing team.  He really gave that team a problem and made their little show into a serious game after raining 3's all day on them and dunking on one of their key players, but he has talent, but he needs more discipline as a team player and I promise you if he can start playing within the program he and get his head right could go pro.

Way to rag on the guy after the fact.  Good show.


So Norwich and Elms tonight huh?

I think this one should be tight.  I'll go with Elms.

[24/7/365]

Hoops Puh-Lease.  You know that was funny.  Any time someone hypes themselves up, while acting as a third party, and then they get called out on it infront of everyone, they are fair game for the remainder of their time as a player.  I was just giving this board a little comic relief.  Ease up there.

Not knowing much about the other North East teams, Elms has only recently come on my radar becuase d3hoops.com had them as a possible first round match up with GC I believe in their mock tournament board.  Again, that gives no insight into tonights match-up at all, but I from reading a little bit about Elms and their players, I would have to go with them as well.  I don't know anything about Norwich.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

No, you're right, we should all revel in other people's embarassments.

[24/7/365]

Only when they blatantly bring it on themselves.

[CCC Fan]

24/7 I thought that was great.

I'm with Hoops on this one, its kind of retarded to bring something up that was settled weeks ago. If we wanted cominc relief and if I had the time I'd go back and see how many times you mentioned Marstaller or any other Gordon player you have a man crush on. But I will not bore everyone else on this board.

A little over 24 hours till tip offs.  Any breaking news we do not know about? Any illnesses on either Gordon or EC? Any injuries such as Matt George going down before the game last year with a sprained ankle?  As far as I know EC is healthy for the game tomorrow. What about Gordon?

[24/7/365]

Well I do have man crushes on GC players, especially Marstaller.  But be reassured, that I, am making those remarks, not John Marstaller.

In response to anECfans question about GC injuries.  No injuries on the GC side.  They just finished up with their last practice before the game tomorrow and everyone is in good health.  The only player for GC who is limited is 3 point shooter Mark Beebe, not John Beebe the sixth man, but his little brother Mark.  He has been struggling with a foot injury all year, but has been able to push through it.  And with their next game being an NCAA tourney game, you can count on him feeling no pain what-so-ever in that foot.

I'm just a Gordon fan who plans on getting to the game tomorrow night.  Does anyone know how much it costs to get into the games?  Is there a fee for parking?

[24/7/365]

For students who show a student ID it is $3.  For any adults or students with out ID's it's $6.  I don't know if the NCAA forces hosting schools to require payment for parking, but if everything is like conference play then no, you don't have to pay to park.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I think parking will depend on how much is available.  I don't know how big the place is or how much room they have to park.  It is up to the schools on that one though.

I don't care who you are ... that post by 24/7 was hilarious.

Predictions for tonight's UC/GC game?

I'm guessing it will be a tight one until the last 6 or 7 minutes: My pick: Utica wins, 67-60.

Good luck to both teams tonight.

[backboard]

I predict Utica by 10

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I'm sticking with Gordon; I know not why.  Let's say 5 points.
