MBB: City University of New York Athletic Conference

[xalva66]

very impressive. and then beating York last night. Looks like they are more competitive than they have been. How about City tech beating CSI? Hunter beat City pretty convincingly as well.

Last night I saw Hunter win its homecoming game against John Jay, 74-66. It was the third consecutive win for Hunter and the fourth straight loss for John Jay. The game was close from the start and the final score is somewhat deceptive because this game definitely could have gone either way.

Hunter has some muscle for the first time in years, but the Hawks are still vulnerable off the boards. They also appear to be a bit weak at the point guard and depth, once again, is a problem. Nonetheless there seems to be a bit more talent and energy than they've had recently. Last year after the team lost Chris Bernard they collapsed. This year it looks like there's more balance and confidence.

This was my first look at John Jay. The Bloodhounds are more physical and deeper than Hunter. Vaughn Mason is an athletic forward who is a versatile scorer. Hakeem Kased is one of the best big men in CUNY. Alex Valerio is a solid all-around player and Emilio Gomez is a talented point guard. The Bloodhounds are clearly getting better each year under Charles Jackson.

my sources tell me that hunter has two point guards that are inactive. I agree that they are a bit lacking at the pg position but they easily have one of the most balanced teams in the conference.

I watched Hunter defeat FDU-Florham, 83-76, earlier this evening. Hunter led almost the entire contest, and the game was tight until the very end. It was Hunter's fourth straight win. The Hawks haven't beaten any team that's particularly good, but a win is a win. It looks like they will be competitive in CUNY this year if their top players stay healthy.

Michael Dodd put in a very solid effort for Hunter. He hit quite a few threes, many of them with defenders in his face. He looked very good tonight and could be the team's top player. Besides Dodd, Ciarleglio, Millien and Evans contributed as well.

With the loss, FDU-Florham falls to 1-8. Needless to say, it look like the Devils are going to struggle this year. This team is a little short on talent and has eight freshman.

Does anyone have any info on Brooklyn? The Kingsmen are now 5-1 with wins against Greensboro and York (NY). It should be noted that Greensboro dealt #7 Guilford their only loss of the season this year.

Brooklyn also beat CSI last week, a team that has crucified them in recent years. They've won 6 in a row and look like the class of CUNY. Returning player Baptiste is a versatile  forward and their best all-around player. However, the kid nisbett, a transfer from nyack, is probably the major reason for brooklyn's surge this year. He gives BK a nice one-two punch offensively and plays great D. The CUNyis wide open this year. It's gonna make for a great second half.

I don't know if the Kingsmen are the best team in the conference, but they're clearly very much improved. It looks like they've come a long way from their traditional doormat status. I haven't seen them play yet, but I'll definitely check them out when I get the chance.

Last night I saw Baruch win at home against CCNY, 92-79. The Bearcats led all the way and had too much size, talent and depth for City. George Kunkel and Phil Schatz were able to score almost at will inside against the overmatched Beavers. Mike Dietz also played well for Baruch, demonstrating a good outside shooting touch.

City hustled and put in a good effort, but were thoroughly outmanned. The Beavers are very small, have a lot of young players and lack serviceable big men. It looks like it's going to be a long season for CCNY this year.

you're right, the CUNY is wide open. It will be interesting to see how the 2nd half plays out now that teams have a feel of their identity because at first it looked like baruch and hunter as well dropped some early games but are now gettin in the win column. I've watched baruch,hunter,johnjay,ccny so far. ive been impressed with Hunter and their completely revamped roster., i hope they'll be able to keep guys for a full season for once. their guards are scrappy, young and maturing, they hustle. BUT my pick to come out the north conference is Baruch,with the senior leadership and kunkel playing well.

Speaking of Brooklyn, word on the street is there is some big news going on in terms of transfers in the CUNY and it could have major post season implications. Key player transferring from one school to another.

[Rhodes Scholar]

BklynBasketball: Are you saying that this key transfer played the first half of the season at one school and will play the second half of the season at another?

thats the word on the streets

It doesn't seem possible that a player can play the first half of the season at one CUNY school and then play the second half at another CUNY school.

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THE VAST IMRPOVEMENT THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE AT BROOKLYN THIS YEAR? THEY ARE A TRUE FORCED TO BE RECKONED WITH NOW, NOT JUST IN THE CUNY BUT IN THE ATLANTIC REGION AS WELL.

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THE VAST IMRPOVEMENT THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE AT BROOKLYN THIS YEAR? THEY ARE A TRUE FORCED TO BE RECKONED WITH NOW, NOT JUST IN THE CUNY BUT IN THE ATLANTIC REGION AS WELL.

Has anyone else noticed the vast improvement that has taken place at Brooklyn this year?  They are a true force to be reckoned with now, not just in the CUNYAC, but in the Atlantic Region as well.

Welcome to the boards.  (The terms of service outline the use of upper case, CAPS.)

The problem with the CUNYAC is that it has been a long time since the CUNYAC has been a perennial power in D-III.  (Gregory Sager has the data in his archives.)

[D3HOOPSCOOP]

I understand your statement. However, all I am saying is that they are a great team. They beat Greensboro, a team that went on to defeat Guilford (then # 3 in the nation). They have also defeated York, last years CUNY Champion, I was at that game and Brooklyn controlled their game since their pre-game layup line. And they defeated CSI, last year's CUNY runner up.
  Brooklyn is a team with exceptional depth and talent, they can go 10, 11 deep. I think it would be prudent of everyone in the area to take note of Brooklyn and go to see them. They should be the favorite to be the last one standing at CCNY at the end of the year and go on to make some noise in the NCAA's.
