I did see that post but I would never assume that that license would transfer to a third party.

You definitely know more about this stuff than I do, just wanted to make sure you saw it (I thought that that post may have prompted your question).

You'll definitely have a lot of selection now, given rlk's vast catalog of photos.

Unfortunately, this will probably be my last game until Jan. 12 (Babson), and then Feb. 2 (Springfield) and Feb. 9 (Clark). At WPI on Jan. 19 is a possibility, but games during the week aren't normally feasible due to work (I made an exception for Harvard).

Still, at 200-400 pictures a game, even a single game could be considered a vast catalog!

That's true. I actually had about 1600 raw frames; about 300 hit the cutting room floor right away, and then I picked from what was left (I guess you could say I shoot Grinnell-style, but with 48 GB of memory cards, I didn't fill even 1/3). Having a second camera body lets me get shots I couldn't previously get (a pair of Canon 7D's with a 17-55 for offense and 70-200 for defense). Today's game was fast-paced, which also helped boost my totals. But I'm going to have to pick up another disk for my server before long.

I just wish they'd boost the lighting in the Cage by about a stop. ISO 4000-6400 on the 7D is noisy, but certainly usable; I'd be much happier with 2000-3200. I've found I really need 1/400 shutter speed to avoid motion blur, which is why I need such high ISO ratings even wide open. And I can't afford a 5D mkIII, which would have no problem at those ISO ratings :-( But the 7D is so much better than the 20D I was using until 3 years ago.

I understand what you mean. I've given up shooting basketball with my D30. The 7D my brother uses is much better suited.

Good week for Springfield wins against Amherst & the LEC favorite at the beginning of the year Keene State, though they don't look like the favorites right now.

OOPs.....posted the win by Springfield on the LEC board last night....sorry! Blame it on my depression yesterday. Particulars on the "CAC" board and better yet on the Amherst website by now....at least to the individual stats and ebb and flow of the game.

I'll take your word for it....I don't get much more sophisticated than point and shoot.

Here are some of my favorites from this season:

Harvard (The number of sequences of Kates beating his man with the dribble is amazing):
http://rlk.smugmug.com/Sports/Basketball/MIT-Harvard-20121109/26436069_RDDGBT#!i=2205953767&k=gFJXhJw

Tommy Amaker really couldn't have been very happy watching a mere D3 point guard abuse his backcourt like that. But I have to say that *I'm* very happy watching that (and sad that this is the last year I'll get to see it).

I have an old video clip of Kates doing that to Harvard his freshman year. I thought it was Jeremy Lin guarding him, but it was actually Oliver McNally. It was a great sequence -- MIT's passing got a bit twitchy, so Kates took the ball, backed it out to half court with McNally on him, dribbling casually for a while, faking to his left and then hitting the afterburner to his right. He didn't get it in -- too much traffic in the lane -- but it shows just how lightning quick he really is. I've tried posting it to my site; hopefully it will work:

Jeremy Lin was guarding Noel Hollingsworth in that clip...interesting matchup.

Wow some great "goings-on" this weekend! Springfield is legit. WPI keeps rolling - really big week for the Crimson. At Slem State is never easy and will be played in the 80's - where WPI tends to fizzle if they are going to and then home for RIC. Way ahead of myself but I would think it would be hard to find a tougher 9-0 start for anyone else in the country if we got there!

Only concern is the whole league having 3 or 4 losses in conference each and what that would do to a 2nd or 3rd team potential in the big dance..............Heck if MIT/WPI/Springfield even split with each other - you are talking about 2 losses each before playing a tough Babson, a really good (and big) Clark team, and CG who has proven on any given night.............tough stuff.

I am certainly not saying it is a tougher route than a Top NESCAC team would have but having to play everybody twice is a different kind of challenge.

Keep rolling NEWMAC.

What day is the WPI RIC game?? I didn't think they were playing this year, and I certainly don't remember seeing a RIC WPI game on the LEC schedule page.

Hugenerd · December 03, 2012, 09:26:13 PM

They play Thursday at WPI:

Good Luck To WPI Vs Salem St tonight. I am in Boston today and hope to get done in time to go see the game. I reied to watch the 2nd half of the game Vs Husson, but the video feed kept stalling. It looked like Husson was working in conjunction with the local FOX channel up there send an HD video out on the net. WPI escaped with a close OT win.

Congrats to John Wickey on being named the Player Of the Week. Also to Springfield for moving in the polls right behind WPI. MIT falls to 18, but could move up in the next poll.

Springfield edged WNEU 73-71!!!! and UMB giving MIT a good game!!!
