BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ECSUalum]

D Gilblair,

Basketball Women are just GREAT!! I hope they do well in the LEC tourney and get to the NE Regionals. Now ranked 14th nationally

I think they are in top 5 in nation in defense.  The four seniors are great athletes. Moriarty fantastic.

I think the ECSU men Basketball should be good in future, some good freshman/sophmores with Ortiz  to solidify .

Coach Holowaty is a great guy, we are very fortunate to have had a coach and staff of there caliber for so many years.

I scoped out the venues for the Russmatt series, look like great facilities.  Will see at least 3 games out there including JH

They should do well but thats all I'm saying, not going to jinx them.  Moriarty is fun to watch play.  She got game.

I wonder how many more decades coach H plans on giving us?  I really liked Arizona when we were there in 07.  Maybe our paths will cross at one of the games, I'm not a bleacher guy so you will see me pacing the sideline somewhere.

OK...OK girls at least make it to the championship game.  There I go.

D.


Will be in Arizona for 3 ECSU games, first being Hopkins, with two beautiful blonds, my wife and my daughter,n (Quinnipiac grad) who is flying in from LA.

Will be in the bleachers with my E hat and one of may ECSU shirts.  Will look for you to say hello.

Just back from Key West/Tampa, visiting my bro in law and getting out out of the NE weather.

Hopefully in Willi for womens basketball final Accompanied by my two sons, one in grad school at ECSU and other graduating in May

Safe trip to all out to Phoenix!!!!!!!!!!!

You may be right about RIC santeezy but with that being said I think that almost every manager would tell you tyhat they would rather have great pitching as opposed to great hitting....

I will agree with you that pitching is a major component in the Lec but bats are just as important as the case with UMB vs. RIC 8-1, against UMASS Boston the last 4 years (when they had the best pitcher they will ever have in Conway). A pitcher like Conway def. will be missed , have they filled that void. Also according to team reports Grenier will have his best pitching in all the years coaching down there at RIC, he returns 1st team closer (Fama) and someone who was a Fr. weekend starter last year (Levesque) along with some new guns. Lastly, cause I hate rambling on, we will return 6 pos. players who have started/played for 3-4 years (Just like the team that won the LEC Championship in 2005). So as I said earlier I wish all teams goodluck when playing the boys from RIC, they are def. contenders.

Hockeyfan77, you said that USM had a new arm that the coaches were impressed with and that you would say more once the roster was out. Well the roster has been our for awhile but I haven't seen your post as to who this new arm is. How excited should the USM fan's be?

[hockeyfan77]

Well I have been busy with hockey and all...I have heard good things about two of the new pitchers...I haven't seen them myself but the coaches are pretty high on them...

[mainefan]

And their names are? And where did they come from?

In the words of the immortal Paul Harvey "And now for the Rest of the Story" RIP Mr. Harvey.

Ya'll may remember a story I posted about former KSC pitcher Phil Mabey trying to get a look by playing in an Ariz winter league. I believe their season finished this week. I listed his season stats with his teamates included. Have not heard any signing news to date.

I would rather not say the names until I see them pitch...Relax, why let the secret out of the bag???

See you in Arizona and at the XL center in May, my oldest son is graduating also.....YAHOOOOOOO.  One down one to go.

Great basketball games, to bad they came up a little short in the title game.  Missed a lot of freethrows early on and that can come back to bite you against good teams.

[ECSUalum]

D,

Yes Sir, See my comments on the LEC Women's BB thread.

Just saw the letter re XL center this week. Seems to be a good idea, although I sort of liked being outside, (in good weather that is), on the Windham Tech field.

Congrats to Shawn on his graduation.  Hopefully we will see him mentioned in MiLB soon after


Word,

ECSU baseball complex was "clean" down here in Nutmegland, however,   we will get a 12 incher on Monday , I know all the boys were looking forward to getting outside.  ECSU also had thier first two games @ Randolph-Macon VA. cancelled due to the crap weather down south. Snow in Atlanta today!!!

Hope Mabey continues to do well, thanks for the update!!!

[ecfaninri]

ecsualum...
Yes, the boys had a couple of days outdoors, but it doesn't look good for this weekend on Long Island with Suffolk and Farmingdale. It looks like at least a foot of snow in Willi. I think the boys are getting cabin fever, especially when they see some other teams already with 6-8 games in.
With look for you in Phoenix.

[ECSUalum]

ecfan,

Looking forward to meeting you as well!

Cannot wait to see the ECSU boys start thier season in the warm AZ sun, and watching your son do well.

Thanks for your post

[Jcon8958]

Getting closer and closer to the start of the season everyday can you feel it everybody this is the best time of the year

[KSCfan]

It would seem that the snow gods like to remain us who is in charge after we just got blasted up here in hampshire with about a foot of snow to go on top of the crusted ice on top of more snow.  Looking forward to the start of the new season down in Arizona.  Hopefully some of you lucky guys that are going can keep us up on whats going on team wise!
