I agree, at times CGA looked great this year, the next 2 years s/b great for them.

Way to forget Tim Dutille. His sophomore year he was Second Team All-NEWMAC, his junior year, First Team. Now he doesn't even get a shout. Hmmm.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Dutille seems a slight omission, but its hard to argue with any of the guys who made these teams.  I'd have probably given him a nod, especially because of the larger body of work.  I guess you can only blame the coaches.

Hoops Fan,
The coaches find out a day earlier and so do SIDs, so if you go to the actual schools athletic page they will have an article.  For example, I also know the Clayton Barlow Wilcox of Carnegie Mellon got 3rd team Academic All-America because you can see the article at www.cmu.edu/athletic.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Gotcha, I guess I'll just have to wait another couple hours for the official posting.

I understand that is up to the SIDs and the coaches, but do we honestly need 3 representatives from Coast Guard? They made a huge turnaround, no one can deny that, but even when the Clark teams were unstoppable a few years ago there were only 2 representatives on the team. Coast Guard did lose twice to the bottom team in the NEWMAC?

Go WPI!! Represent the NEWMAC!

NEWMAC had a decent night in the ECAC, MIT won 60-55, Wheaton blew out Emmanuel and unfortunately Coast Guard lost in overtime to RIC.  MIT and Wheaton meat in the Semis on Friday, as do Keene State and RIC.

Mike Dauria scored 22 for MIT and is now 4 points from 1500.

One other thing,  MIT extended its record for most wins in a season to 21, the previous record had been 19 40 years ago.

Congratulations to 1st team all Northeat Region and NE region Player of the year Mike Dauria of MIT.  He had a great season and deserves all the accolades he gets (which have been numerous this season).  Hopefully the voters will make him a first team all american as well.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I doubt he gets first team all-america, having not been big on the radar and being behind quite a few amazing guards around the country.  He was a suprise pick to me, but no less deserving of the honor.  Congratulations.

So Cassara is out at Clark?  Anyone not see this coming?  I thought he'd last one more year, but oh well.  We need some input as to how this affects the players who were set to come this year.  Will this be a major setback to the basketball revival at Clark?

[formerbant10]

Tough to say if anyone saw it coming, but I'm sure some will say they knew what was going on.  Either way, you can't argue a change like that for Coach Cassara, great opportunity for him. 

I don't think it'll be a setback, seeing as though longtime assistant Tyrone Hicks is still their and can handle the recruiting load.

And on the D3 level, I haven't heard of many players transfering out because a coach leaves.  It's quite possible, but unlikely.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I meant more about the class of Freshmen coming in.  At this point, some of them may not even have deposited yet.  I know Cassera had a lot to do with last year's class and the one upcoming.  I was just wondering if people heard about incoming freshman who may be back on the market.

[clarkie]

i've heard at least two recruits are coming from my alumni pals...i was just checking my alma mater's website and the position is officially posted, anyone know who will apply?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Not Dana Barros; he already got a job.
