MBB: City University of New York Athletic Conference

In regards to the CSI-Baruch game...am I the only one who chuckling that a guy named Hennessee and a guy named Schatz (shots) are playing in the same game?

And I don't think Baruch has the horses inside to stay with CSI. Forrestal and Schatz are crafty, but I don't think they have the raw talent to keep Blackett off the offensive boards, and Weismuller from getting 20 and 10.

[BaruchFan]

Baruch put up a good fight, but did not have enough. Emengo was injured and gave it his best, but the pain on his face said it all. With a healthy Emengo and Kunkel, it could have been different. Good luck to CSI.

A couple of comments about tonight's championship game:

#1 York (17-10, 10-3) vs. #2 Staten Island (15-12, 9-4)

This is a matchup between the two top seeds. Staten Island has won eight games in a row. The two teams split during the regular season with each team winning on its home floor. York won 69-57 on January 5 and CSI won 74-58 on February 7. York, which has the toughest out-of-conference schedule in CUNY, won their first seven conference games, but went only 3-3 in their final six regular season conference contests.

This game features the three leading scorers in CUNY: York's Jeffrey Boone (18 ppg), CSI's Sean Weismuller (18 ppg) and York's Dennis Echols (17 ppg); the league's leading rebounder: CSI's Gari Blackett (12 rpg); and the league's leader in assists: York's Michael Salamanca (6 apg). Other players to keep an eye on: York's Aaron Wilson and Teron Simpson, both of whom are good outside shooters, as well as Jonathan Christian, who can hit a mid-range jumper and score inside. For CSI there's Robert Mesjasz, who is a good outside shooter and Mike Jones, a pretty versatile all-around player.

Wow...a halfcourt buzzer beating, game winning, championship clinching 3 pointer by York to win. Wow. I don't think I'll ever see anything that crazy again in my life. Simply, spectacular.

well i been quiet for the past two weeks or more but york did wut i said they would do and that is win the cuny. i know it seem like it was a lucky shot but if it wasnt suppose to go in it wouldnt have and now york is ready for the ncaa. Echols would have been the mvp of that game he owned gari that game gari couldnt do anything with echols he carried his team on his bac the whole game. i told u all that york is the team that has the best chance in the ncaa now lets see

Let's just say that York has its work cut out for them this Friday in Mahwah. The Cardinals will be facing a solid team in Ramapo. The Roadrunners have an edge in size, quickness, athleticism and depth. These two teams met during the regular season at Ramapo on January 15, and the Roadrunners came away with a 81-62 victory. This year Ramapo is 5-0 vs. the CUNYAC and they won every game by at least 15 points. Does York have a chance to win? Sure, but they're a pretty sizeable underdog.

[NYCGATORfan]

Throw in the conference's history of ineptness in the postseason, York is a pretty sizeable underdog is an understatement. They have 2 dynamic scorers in the pivot, a good perimeter shooter, and a crafty point guard so they have a chance. Even if they lose, the fact that they made it on such an incredible shot should be enough for the Cardinals to hang their hats on.

[TheBeast]

well it was a good year in cuny york are back to back champs Csi will win it next yr returning 4 staters
york will still compete for that third peat tho. I see that yorks Boone and Echols made all region team wow that is major for cuny the only two players on frist team. now its the offseaon let see who comes out ready next yr it should be a very good yr again holla

First off how come the traffic in this forum is so slow??


Next can anyone shed some light on the movement of teams throughout the NEAC, Skyline, and this new conference etc? Polytech, Purchase, Kings Point, Stevens, Centenary.....?


I was perusing the site, how many more years do you give a coach who is 3 and 71 in his first 3 years? Just wondering.

If a tree falls in the woods and noone is there to hear it does it make a sound?? If someone posts in the Atlantic section of Posting up.....does anyone see it?

[Pat Coleman]

There's been a fair amount of discussion about the Landmark Conference on the Mid-Atlantic board and our blog, the Daily Dose.

The conferences in this region don't generate a lot of traffic, it's true. But don't give up. There may be lurkers out there who get drawn in when there's a new poster.

With some of these schools -- and Centenary seems to be who you're talking about though we have him at 5-69 -- athletics simply isn't much of a priority.

Who is the king of King's county?

I have heard there used to b e a king of king's tourney every year. This would be a GREAT tourney i feel.


any info on the Brooklyn teams this year?

Brooklyn College
Medgar Evers
St Joseph's Brooklyn
Polytech
City Tech


Any news, seeing as how im transplanted would be appreciated and would love to talk about these guys, this section of posting up is a snoozer!

I think this would be a great idea to revive!

[swingO]

The Coach at Brooklyn College intends to revive it as soon as their new Athletics complex is finished, which may be late in 2008. He already has gotten verbals from most of the Brooklyn Schools about it and everyone wants to bring it back.

Here is a reason to root for John Jay this season.  The following article appears in the new York Daily News on 11/11/07.

From Iraq to John Jay, Jaeger has gone from boy to man

BY WAYNE COFFEY

Four flights over 10th Ave., the soldier-turned-freshman fires up a three-pointer from the left corner, and an instant later, is sprinting 94 feet, forcing a turnover at the other end.

Now here he comes back the other way, tattooed arms pumping, face grimacing from exertion, muscling into rebounding position at the end of a fast break.

There are faster players on the John Jay College basketball team than Bronx-born Chris Jaeger, and better athletes. However, nobody on the team - maybe nobody in the whole city - is better at the transition game.

Is there another ballplayer who comes to the courts of CUNY via Fallujah and Ramadi, and a hellhole of a place called Camp Combat Outpost? Who went from being an all-Nassau County star at Hicksville High to a life-saving Army infantryman west of Baghdad?

Who saw more death in a year in the Iraqi desert than he can ever recount, and will compete this year with a tattoo that says 6/1/2005 on his left bicep?

Heatlee, good post...Next time, just post the link, as we don't usually run articles in full (from other sources) on Posting Up.
