Does anybody know if the UNE game will be broadcast in video or audio?

RIC is going to broadcast their game online, maybe they'll broadcast the UNE game since its in their house anyway.

Austin, Texas vs NYC! Classic match-up.

Great location for the game as well. Hopefully TCCC players and fans will be there to give UNE some additional support. Represent!

Rhode Island SID says that the UNE - Farmingdale will be webcast either by RIC or UNE

I've been to a few UNE games this year and they have progressed well from exibition to nonconference games and tournament play. I have yet been able to watch the Farmingdale State team compete. I feel if UNE plays their game and everyone crashes the boards they have a good shot to win.

lets throw out some predictions for this game?

Both of the teams had outstanding regular seasons, 20 in a row for state and 19 in a row for UNE... however the Noreasters finished strong while state lost in their conference championship. UNE is on a roll and hungry for more... and expect to see coach of the year Mulligan have his boys ready to play friday night... Texas over NYC 85-80....

Farmingdale has a half-dozen players over 6'5", UNE has, hold on let me count em' again...0 (zero). Crashing the boards isn't the key (in my opinion). They will continue to pressure the ball, force turnovers, push the O, and hope they can frustrate the NYC players into a small ball, running battle. All the while converting TO's to points. The ending stats will show Farmingdale winning the boards, UNE the turnovers. UNE 95-94.

If the ending stats don't show UNE with a significant TO advantage they lose by 15.

Yup, 2 predictions for the price of one. And both worth exactly what you paid. See you at the game.

Ya state has a lot more size and it will definitely help them on the glass, but UNE will us it to there advantage. The bigs will be forced to guard our guards (since all we have is guards) and UNE will either shoot over them with space or blow by them if they are defended closely. If Johnny Jefferson is hitting his shots (chances are good, that boy can stroke) and Jaykyri Simpson stays out of foul trouble, i can see UNE coming out on top.

I haven't done enough research to make an official score prediction, but I will say this. This is the best chance for a CCC team to win its opening round game of the national tourney since Gordon played Utica a few years ago. That game was withing four points with less than a minute to go...

I see this game having similar possibilities.

Endicott has advertised for a basketball coach. Did Milette get fired or quit?

backboard · March 04, 2009, 08:23:01 PM

I think he was fired

GnacAlum55 · March 04, 2009, 09:04:41 PM

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 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.
