MBB: City University of New York Athletic Conference

[bballgirl86]

bballgirl86,

I guess Hunter deserves no credit in making him have a bad game. I understand that he was in foul trouble, but he did not look comfortable in the offense even before he got into foul trouble. Some shots were 40 feet in the air. Now understand with Wilson out of the game, York began to force the post play to Pips and he played like a beast. If Wilson was in the game and playing well, maybe York doesn't go down into the post as much. You can just say, Wilson had a bad game and thats why they lost.

I think that they still would go down in the post b/c looking back at the bc game all three big men for york were in double digits in scoring but that still didnt stop Wilson from going lights out. Ill give it to hunter although I was not there the whole game from what I saw they were playing tight defense on wilson. Wilson only scored 7 points. If he had a solid game along with the other guys on the team hunter didnt stand a chance. I still believe that york is still a contender for the championship. Look at last years team some people starting counting them out cause of the loses late in the season to JJ and CSI but they still won. 2  years ago #1 Baruch was favored to win the championship but #3 York came out and played kept the lead and never looked back. That goes to show you that anything can happen especially in CUNY

regardless of any late season collapse, York was by far still considered the top team and the odds on favorite last season. Not many people gave CSI a chance against them in the championship. I mean that game alone goes to show you that anyone can beat anyone (just in case you didnt know, York won on a buzzer beating hail mary from half court). Again, I am still not saying that Hunter is the favorite. There are about 5 teams that are all possible candidates.

Did you expect Hunter just to sit back and let Wilson just to shoot the gym out. Of course they are going to play tight defense on him. Hes a good player.

You do realize that York averages 70 points per game on the season and they scored.... 70 points against Hunter. York lost the game because on the season, on average, they give up 65 points per game and they gave up 81 against Hunter.

Anyway, good luck on the rest of the year.

brooklyn beats st.joes of brooklyn last night...usually a competetive game in years past. This year the bridges handled them pretty easily. a nice tune up game for the battle of the verrazano with them and csi...lookin at the schedule st joe's have had a tough year this year. Their schedule is a lot stronger than before..an up and coming program, but suffering some growing pains...o and by the way marlon smith has proved his worth this week with the win over york. i dont wanna hear anyone downplay this transfer anymore...he has made them the favorite in the conference.

st. joe's of brooklyn isn't even D3 affiliated.

NYC Tech 73, Hunter 68

NYC Tech
Ryan Phillip  24 pts
Jamaal Hall  20 pts
Andrew Vaughn  9 pts

Hunter
Michael Dodd  20 pts
Marlon Smith  13 pts
Gerard Ciarleglio  9 pts

This game was close all the way, but excellent play by Ryan Phillip and Jamaal Hall down the stretch gave the Yellow Jackets the victory. Hunter had a chance to tie the game with 10 seconds remaining but an off-balance three-point attempt by Marlon Smith was off the mark.

Phillip was extremely impressive tonight, scoring repeatedly inside. The Hawks were simply unable to handle him. Hall had a quiet first half (courtesy of outstanding defense by Marlon Smith), but got going in the second half when his teammates began to set some good screens.

Michael Dodd played well for Hunter and shot pretty well. Marlon Smith had a good first half but struggled in the closing stanza. Frantz Millien played well in spots, but was plagued by foul problems. Joe DeLuca did not play in the first half and finished with seven points.

This game fulfilled a typical CUNYAC scenario: On Wednesday, Hunter looked unbeatable against York. Two days later they lose to the seventh-place team.

I believe St. Joe's (Brooklyn) is a first-year D3 provisional.

[NYBB]

what conference is St. Joe's of BK going to join next season?

[d3cunybbhoops]

right now I believe they compete in the non automatic bid receiving Hudson Valley conference. Certainly they are going to need to step up the competition and try to get into some conference. I wouldn't at this point put them on my post season resume if I was Brooklyn, CSI or anyone else who plays them.

[Coach AG]

Wow NYC Tech with a nice win.  Going to BC at CSI today should be a heated contest.  CSI should be better suited to play the uptempo game with the Bridges today with the addition of Brian Amenerios.  I think the key to the game is if Mesjasz can continue to shoot lights out and give the dolphins a legit scoring threat .  Also they have to limit the quality of good looks Baptiste gets.  I don't think the press will be that effective today for BC so they have to prove they can play half-court defense.  Good luck to both teams, I hope nothing stupid happens today.  C-ya there.

[Rhodes Scholar]

As Coach AG mentioned, the big game today is Brooklyn at CSI. It marks Weismuller's return to CSI and it should be an emotional game for both teams. Brooklyn beat CSI, 72-70, at Roosevelt Gym on 12/4. That was the last CUNYAC defeat for CSI. Since then the Dolphins have won eight straight games. A CSI victory will put the Dolphins one game up on Hunter and York. A Brooklyn victory will make it a four-way tie for first place!

I think anyone who has had anything to say on this board over the last few months, should ensure that they are at this game tonight between BC and CSI. It should be a game for the ages and the game should be played in front of a championship like crowd. I know I'll have my popcorn ready and a front row seat.
Who'll be attending? Xalva? I'll warm up the seat right next to me for you pal.

[NYBB]

Getting to CSI isn't easy from upper manhattan so ya'all just have to let me know what happens.

[Rhodes Scholar]

Per the D3hoops.com scoreboard

Brooklyn 93, CSI 80

I didn't see the game. Does anyone have an eyewitness account?

There's now a four-way tie for the best record in the conference. Brooklyn, CSI, Hunter and York are all 8-3. Baruch is one game behind at 7-4. Pretty good parity.

[Danny Weismuller]

Brooklyn took down CSI tonight in front of a nice size crowd.
Talk about a crazy game.
BC was down 10 at the half and down 18 points with 11 minutes left but outscored CSI 62-37 in the second half. 
They stormed back behind Baptiste who lit up csi... 12-19 for 32 points. No one was able to stop him in the second half. He just took over. The supporting cast stepped up as all 5 of Brooklyns starters scored in double figures including my brother who started his first CUNY game for BC and contributed 12 points.

CSI controlled the game for 32 minutes. They were shooting the lights out, MOntervino, Hennesy, Mesjav, and Amerinous lit it up from the out side. They must of shot close to 70 percent in the first half from behind the arc and shot 13-26 from 3pt range for the game. Mesjav had a good game with 24 points.. Brooklyn's D was pretty bad but came alive in the second half. CSI was relying primarily on their perimeter game for most of the game.

Overall it was great game for BC as they now control their own destiny for the #1 seed in CUNY. If coach P can get them to commit to playing hard defense for 40 minutes they are going to be tough to beat as they have enough fire power to hang with anyone in the region.

[NYBB]

Good game.  My girlfriend says CSI lost because they're the ugliest basketball team in the world lol so there you have it
