just opinions, first hand game observations, insight...things of that nature, things which are discuessed regularly in this forum no??

Brooklyn College is struggling this season mainly because of overall team experience.  They are a young team but if they keep their core of guards for next year and add a legit inside presence which has always been their weakness they should be fine for next year.  However I reccomend that you go see one of their games during the week while students are there.  I think Brookyn has one of the best crowds in CUNY basketball.  The crowd is always into the game no matter what the score is and it gets very loud in Roosevelt Hall.  Also because of Brooklyns uptempo pressing style the crowd often feeds off of that and makes it one of the toughest places to play.  You will only see this though if you go to a game on Monday thru Thursday.  Hope I helped you a little.

 Coach AG is right on point about Brooklyn's guards, their pressing  style, the crowd at Roosevelt Hall and the youth of the team. With a good low post presense ,they could be dangerous as their weakness is their size. At times, as in yesterday's game vs. York because of foul trouble they had 5 guards in the game. And, with 11 minutes to go , they led York 50-43 before fouls doomed Brooklyn's two legit inside players who only go 6'1, 6'2" tops. If you look at their scores they play everybody tough, they are extremely hard to play against because they attack you all game to negate the fact that they get killed on the boards. Go see them play and you'll see for yourself

It's worth going to a Brooklyn College game just to check out Roosevelt Hall. It's got to be one of the most unique venues around. Some consider it charming, others an antiquated relic. I haven't been there in about seven years, so I don't know if there's been any kind of renovations. I do remember that the bulk of the seating was behind one (or possibly both) of the baskets.

I watched Brooklyn play Baruch a few week ago and thought they had some talent, but could not overcome a young Baruch squad. Brooklyn are one or two players from winning more games.

Speaking of Brooklyn's gym, it is hard to believe it once hosted Div I games with teams such as Navy (David Robinson) and Akron (Bob Huggins coach) going there. Brooklyn and CUNY should exploit that history more.

I don't believe that Brooklyn has much interest in dwelling on their D1 exploits of the mid-'80s. That entire experiment kind of blew up in their face.

you might be right and it did fail, but there are some great stories to tell. just my two cents.

i see hunter lost again. baruch did too in a tough one against new paltz. i think baruch was missing a starter or two.

[TheBeast]

i saw the hunter game againt york last night york dominated hunter inside and out hunter was missin alot of player but i reall think that wouldnt have mad much of a difference york play with heart and as a team now they are play they way we expected them to play. dennis echols had another big game 25pts and 12 rebs he had 21 and 18 reb against brooklyn he back to his old ways and boone of course his doin wat he do he is the player of the yr in my eyes. york play medger on friday i will be there for that one. oh yea to all that want to know York is 4 in the region rankings if they keep winnig and the other teams keep losing they can be number by the end of the yr lets go york you my support like you had all yr

Here's an interesting stat: All of  York's conference wins have been by double-digits, a pretty rare occurrence. The Cardinals are 9-1 in conference play, their sole blemish coming on the road against John Jay.

With Hunter in free fall, Baruch looks well-placed to win the North, and the Bearcats may very well be the second-best team in the conference (even without Kunkel). Speaking of Kunkel, does anyone know if he is do back this year?

[BaruchFan]

I hear he is out. He has a cast on his arm.

Here's how the CUNYAC fared against the other two Atlantic region conferences this year:

CUNYAC vs.

NJAC....2-23
Skyline....10-17*

*One game remaining: Hunter @ St. Joseph's, Long Island (2/12)
