MBB: City University of New York Athletic Conference

[Rhodes Scholar]

rhodes i understand that chemistry and talent has a lot to do with  with winning a championship, but i think marlon smith is that good (saw him play in high school) to at least lead them to the finals.

I also saw Smith play in high school and I agree with you that he is certainly capable of leading Hunter to a CUNYAC championship. Right now, however, I think Brooklyn, CSI and York are all a little better than the Hawks. Like others, I wouldn't count Baruch out either. Once again, there's no clear-cut favorite and plenty of regular season action before the conference tournament begins.

[Rhodes Scholar]

I think I speak for all of us by wishing him the best.

Agreed.

Looking at the standings, I believe Brooklyn clinched a CUNY playoff berth last night after CCNY's loss. A win by York, CSI, hunter can clinch a playoff spot with a win or a loss by CCNY.

[NYBB]

i can't wait for the hunter/baruch game.  i live down the block from hunter but getting in there for that game on 68th will be tough...it will be packed this year.  i'm gonna make it though, i'll try.

[xalva66]

I just saw the Hunter/Baurch game and hunter's millen/deluca tandem combined for 48 points. Hunter took an 11 point lead going into the half and went up by as many as 17. Baruch chipped away at the lead and cut it to 5 at one point. Mike Dodd then hit three consecutive  threes and took the lead back to double digits. It was a nice win. Hunter's next game will be at Hunter against York on Wed.

it will be interesting to see York/Brooklyn tomorrow. Question, the first Brooklyn College win over York, did Wilson play.

[Coach AG]

no wilson did not play.

[NYBB]

Hunter is just too strong and too old for the other CUNY's to compete with.

Gerard, Millien, Smith, Dodd, DeLuca...all tall, all strong, all over 21 (some older than that by a couple years) and all experienced.  Baruch stayed in tonight's game because Rankis is the best coach in CUNY and knows how to keep his less talented team alive but like i said, Hunter is too strong and i now believe will win this conference tournament and go to the NCAA show.

CSI has won seven straight including a win at Hunter. Brooklyn toyed with Hunter at Brooklyn (although neither Weismuller nor Smith played for their respective teams). Plus, York is right in the mix and has some pretty good nonconference wins.

As xalva noted, two interesting games are York @ Brooklyn tomorrow, and York @ Hunter on Wednesday.

[xalva66]

Serrano hit 5 threes tonight. He had 16 in 19 games for the rest of the season. That's partly why the game didnt get out of hand. Joe Deluca has been playing very well for the Hawks for the past couple of weeks. He is a very unique player. Kunkel had matchup problems with him today.

York beat Brooklyn college now they are 1st in the south. I told you all that york is going to win the cuny this yr, they are going for a three peat haha. next is hunter! to be cont

[xalva66]

Looking at the stats, I see that Wilson killed the Bridges. Its just funny that I posted yesterday asking if Wilson played against Brooklyn the first time around and then he goes out and scorches Brooklyn shooting 6-11 behind the three-point line. Two ugly numbers on the Brooklyn side, Weismuller shot 0-8 from the field and finished with a dough nut. And the Three-Time CUNY Player of the Week had 10 turnovers. Thats not a nice stat for a player who doesn't play the point. York had more offensive rebounds than Brooklyn had defensive rebounds. Looks like York is the team to beat. Should be interesting match-up come Wednesday with Hunter/York.

[NYBB]

interesting for sure but if Hunter plays to their potential, they're tough to be beat.  They cause too many matchup issues because all their guys are 6'3'' or taller, they're all in their 20's and they're all physically stronger than other players in the CUNY.

[Danny Weismuller]

D. Block... where were you? I was looking for you at the game.

Saw the York/BC game..... as Xalva said, a few guys on BC had rough games including my bro and Baptitste, a few guys on BC were in foul trouble in the game as well.
Aaron Wilson lit it up and Salamanaca manages as good game.
Brooklyn had chances to get back in the game numerous times but beat themselves. 
York looked pretty good, they aren't the traditionally monster team but coach St. John has them playing well together. If Wilson shoots like he did yesterday, they are going to be tough to beat. I still don't think York is necessarily much better than brooklyn... but they got the best of them on Saturday.

I still don't know who's the top dog... If York loses to CSI or Hunter and BC beats CSI than we could possibly be back in a three way tie in the South in which I think Brooklyn would get the tie breaker. (That means they would have beat CSI twice and split with York). From what it sounds from everyone else, Hunter is starting to play really well too. I still haven't seen Smith play and I hear he is some player. 

But as CSI showed last year, who ever gets hot the last few weeks should be the team to watch out for in the tourney.

[xalva66]

whose the genius that posted that weismuller has had a bigger impact than marlon smith. I thought it was a ludicrous statement but I didn't want to say anything. weismuller has gone from preseason player of the year to coming off the bench for brooklyn. he probably will not even make the all-star team and CSI has won 7 straight. hunter has won 4 consecutive CUNY games after loosing a close one to CSI.

[D.Echols aka Dblock]

danny whats up? i had to work on saturday thats why i wasnt there but york came to play. and they got that "W". but brooklyn is a good team so is csi, but i really dont see york losing anymore games. every body is talking about how tall snd the age hunter's player are. well york has size and age to back up there punch as well i think this is the preview of this championship game lets see who wins. oh yea look at york's margins of victory during this winning streak they are simply doing what they do.
