That year KSC hosted ESCU and USM on the last weekend and split. But they used up all their pitching and were eliminated after two games.

Tourney time is right aroubnd the corner boys and its shapeing up to be a great tourney as usaul with Keene and eastern battleing for the #1 seed there are battles all over the conference for postioning there are offically 4 teams that have already qualified for the tourney those being UMB after SWEEPING the huskies of USM for the 1st time in school history. you got Econn and KSU obviously and USM is also in and I am going to love how the seeds shake out because other then the fact that we know those 4 teams are in and the fact the we know Econn and KSU are going to be the #1 and 2 teams the rest of the seeding is up in the air its going to be a fantastic tournament I am am calling it right now I I predict niether KSU or ECONN is going to win the conference tourney. Bold prediction yes I know but as ECSUalum said ANYTHINg  can happen and there is one team inpaticular that is schorching hot right now in the LEC. Figure out who I am talkign about boys they are my pick to take down this years LEC tourney.  ;D

Jcon,

Let's see...

ESCU last 15 games 13-2 with losses to Babson and Wheaton

KSC last 15 games 13-2 with losses to Amherst and Wheaton

UMB last 15 games 5-10.

I guess we know who's scorching hot, but you know, anything can happen. RIC could win like they did in 2005.

Hahaha those are some fantastic stats there Kscer but let me shoot you a little bit of info here pal Keene State from what I saw is an average team at best when they beat Umass Boston in both those games they needed all the help they could get from the umpires. I dont know if you were there but I was and in game if we decided to swing that bat much like we are now then it would have been a wrap and in the second game well lets just say the umpire wanted to be the star of that game by calling a balk that change the whole momentum of the game as much as I hate to tell you Kscer Keene state isnt that good of a team they are very beatable. I am actually hoping UMB gets the fifth seed and since I know for a fact that Keene is going to get swept this week Vs. ECONN and will get the 2 seed so we can expose you for the very average team that you are UMB will win the conference tournament with there top three pitchers in Conway, Andriano and Soto pitching the way they are hitters finally starting to come together and gel you could throw whoever you want in front of this team with it be Strongmen and KSU , Gilbliar and ECSU or Katt Williams (Eddie Skeffington) and USM they will knock them all down Because right now we cant be beat we hung with the so called 3rd best team in the league with our 6th best pitcher at best yesterday in Ryan Murphy. You take this down right now two weeks from now we will be talkign about UMB in the New England regionals and those are my facts for you Kscer.

Jcon,

I love your posts, they are always entertaining.  I do want to ask you a favor though.  There is this girl who lives down the street from me.  She is incredibly beautiful, smart, funny, and laid back.  unfortunately she is a little out of my league.  is there anyway that you can sneak into her house and replace he sunglasses with the "forget all the facts, ignore possible flaws, endless devotion goggles" that you use when you look at Umass Boston.  Then she will look at me like i am george clooney and the two of us will have a chance to live happily ever after.   

thanks

Donny, dont be so hard on Jcon.  Facts are facts but thats why we play the games.  He/she could have a valid point.  Conway could throw a JEM any game.  The lefty rookie was a mid week pitcher new to confrence foes, he could cause trouble.  Don't count anyone out it's tourney time.  You are for sure correct with stats are stats......but thats all they are.....best stats don't always win.

i am just giving him/her a hard time.  come on, you didn't think my post was at least a little funny?

Yah it was OK.......nothin bad.  Just like Jcon sticking with his team and rally having a bit of a point.  Check out the rookies stats he's done a good job for them this year and Conway is a good arm.  They COULD win TWO out of the gate.  Of course I base that on who they face.

Haha- what funny posts! Reminds me of a quote I heard- "Statistics are like bikinis, they show a lot, but not everything."  Let the games play out... there arent any excuses come playoff time- the teams that should win do.  No one deserves anything, only the best survive (and some luck)

Bob Maxwell

You have to give Jcon his due... he is a real FAN and always feels his team has a shot.  the records pretty much say it is a long long shot at best... but he is right, the tournament starts a new.  everyone is 0-0 and each gaem counts.

But it is a long long LONG shot for UMass Boston at best.

;D

once again i am just giving jcon a hard time.  i am actually pulling for underdogs in all of the conference tournaments left to be played in new england.

as for the LEC tourney i did some research.  Here are some stats based on seeds for the past 10 years of the LEC tourney.

Information Below listed as...

Seed, Wins-Losses, Percent of games won, and (times winning tournament)
#1  21-15  58.3% (3)
#2  25-14     64.1% (3)
#3  17-18     48.6% (2)
#4  16-16     50.0% (1)
#5  11-14     44.0% (1)
#6  4-15  21.1%   (0)
#7  0-1  0.0%       (0) 
#8  0-1  0.0%       (0)

note there have been a few different variations of the tournament format.

but based on this, my bet to win the tournament this year is the team that loses the showdown at keene this weekend.

Everyone here can keep giving me a hard time thats fine You all can just keep talking about how much of a long shot it is. But the fact of the matter is this team had they geled alot earlier then now they would easily have been in 3rd place in this conference at least. They have still been in all there games in conference the bats just werent there and like I have said earlier in this tourney pitching matters. And from were I am sitting they have the the 2nd best  1 2 3 pitchers in this conference they are a close second behind econn. And now that the bats are working this team is a buzzsaw and the whole LEC is going to run into them.  ;D

I agree. KSC won 3 of 5 last year, but they won the wrong 3 of 5. This year is the Evil Empire will split in Keene then sweep through the LEC and finish off KSC in the finals.
