This is the only thing I could find...

No mention of what went down and nothing on EC's website.  The ad is up on the NCAA job site.

I do feel bad for Millette as he was walking into some really big shoes.  Although the program had been slumping in recent years, I felt that under his watch they would really improve the next upcoming season.  But I guess that's just too much time to waste and that's what happens when your have a strong program history.



Enough about that, where is everyone?  I'm pretty sure there's an NCAA tournament game that involves a CCC team tomorrow.  We should all show support (maybe CSC doesn't have to) and hope for the best.

I posted UNE's tournament profile on the appropriate board. Let me know if I missed anything glaring.

I did some research and saw that Farm State only has 2 productive players off the bench so they are not that deep of a team. However, UNE has 9 players that average 15 minutes or more. SO they can implement that press and dog State players. Also, if they can get a couple players in foul trouble it could pose problems.

Both teams play similar styles; I'd say Farmingdale is the favorite, although not by enough to really matter on a neutral court.  I did pick UNE to lose in my bracket, though.

This was posted in reply to the profile of UNE that I posted....

"scout, someone from UNE should contact ESPN.  They like stories like this, esp. with the angle of Texas players going to college in Biddeford with lobster traps floating next to campus.  ESPN can cover the UNE story after they get done interviewing MIT.   Wink"

[CCC Talk]

ESPN likes stories about schools over-recruiting out of region, some of whom go home and some of whom fail off at the break but by law of averages a few work out and they cobble together a run and win their league one time?

Sounds heartwarming

i can't support UNE for obvious reasons...CSC basically threw the ECAC game against Riv..again for obvious reasons

I wish them the best and it makes CSC look better if they make a little run..and it also helps out the rep for the TCCC

[number1chargerfan]

Maybe call Bob Ley about UNE..he likes those kindof stories on a thing called Outside the Lines..I'm just joking..kindof

Before you contact the national media maybe you should call the UNE team and let them know that they should stop telling everyone in Maine that they are going to college for free.  Just a tip.

Absolutely hilarious... I'm not in the area anymore, but I agree that it's virtually impossible for anyone from the southern midwest to DESIRE to go to Biddeford freaking Maine.

I'm in the Kansas City area and I'd be stunned to hear two people in a year bring up the word Maine.

[yeah buddy]

i have a feeling you could find alot of people in the kansas city area who would rather be in maine, even in the biddeford area. maine is called vacationland for a reason!

Please let's not start this discussion again

Biddeford > Everywhere else

maine is called vacationland for a reason!

Although I'd be hardpressed to figure out what that reason is.

[NorEasterNasty]

The UNE players do not tell everyone that they are coming here for free, im assuming you have never talked to one of them. Biddeford is a long way from Texas, but some of them actually enjoy it up here... gets them away from everything and its something new for them... but thats not the point, the point is that two years ago UNE one of the worst teams in TCCC and they were a fluke game @ gordon from running the conference table this year... like them or not but they outplayed everyone all year and look to continue that tonight... Im sorry that we embarrassed CSC a few times this year but you can still cheer for your conference in the big dance... ill be at the game tonight and let everyone know how it goes

[cccc-fanatic]

i can't support UNE for obvious reasons

LET IT GO!
YOU LOST TWICE...DEAL WITH IT AND MOVE ON!
IF CSC WERE IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT, I'D BE ROOTING FOR THEM!
GO NOR'EASTERS...YOU CAN DO IT...FOR YOU AND THE TCCC

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

This is one of the sloppiest games I've seen in a while.  UNE is getting steamrolled.
