MBB: NEWMAC

[rlk]

We had always called it Godiva's hymn.  There are hundreds of verses, many written, many sang one night and long forgotten.

In my day most of the verses were about doing bad things to guys from Clark (Clarkies)........................

Ours are about that little red brick college up the creek, UpChuck River Community College or whatever its name is.  I suspect they're actually the exact same verses, in fact.

(Lady Godiva is the patron of engineers everywhere, for whatever reason.)

If a tree falls in the NEWMAC forest, does anybody hear it?

Board has been a trickle..................good luck this evening to the Crimson and Grey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WPI89, the JACKETS are coming to get you!!!

[WPI89]

Donho - we're ready.  Should be fun.  Don't know a ton about this R-M team - in the past the athleticism would scare me.

I still think the story of this game will be 3's.  If WPI takes 20+ and hits 40%+, I like our chances.  Again - I know that is not exactly going out on a limb.............................

Hoping for like 11 for 25 and a 72-64 win.

Good luck DH.

[donho]

These Jackets have won 13 of 14 and will play you nose to nose. Hoping for a well fought game from both teams.but I hope the  jackets come out on top

[WPI89]

Looking too athletic for us Don.  Also - we are 1 for our last 8 from 3 AFTER GOING 2-2.

First 4 minutes are huge

[middhoops]

R-M looks really good.  Tough draw.  My team drew a state college in upstate NY.  Feeling lucky after watching the first half.
Go WPI!  Win this for New England.

[donho]

 I  am liking what I see 89!

[WPI89]

Congrats Don.  Excuse is I wish we were in our own gym tonight.  Reality is too many athletes.  Will step up in class next week in central Mass.

[donho]

 looks like the ODAC will be sending two teams that way next weekend as VWC just won, so they will play Williams.

[2RMCFans]

WPI might have been looking past the Jackets.    R-MC dominated overall tonight & even beat them on their specialty 3's but congrats to the Engineers on their great season!

Another long trip ahead for R-MC this coming weekend & also for the Marlins.  Congrats to the ODAC! 

GO JACKETS!!!  GO MARLINS!!!

[Matt Letourneau]

Eh, what might have been...my Cardinals beat RMC this year...now hopefully my St. John's Pioneers win the CMASS D1 HS title on that WPI court tomorrow. 

Anyway, just wanted to congratulate Williams on the win.  I wish we had been able to have our five best guys on the floor for this game, but things happen and sometimes breaks don't go your way.  Even without Shawn Holmes, we were hanging in there until Chris went out.  There is no underestimating how important Shawn was to Catholic this year---the quickest guy on the team and probably the most fearless.  Obviously, Chris is our defensive anchor and has become a really polished interior player.  Who knows what would have happened if we had both or even Chris for the whole contest--I really think it was 50-50 and we may have won.  But I do appreciate the respect that the Williams fans have shown Catholic on the boards today and I wish the Ephs well as they move on.

[donho]

The r-mc team catholic beat and the r-mc team from last night are not the same team!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Eh... having seen them... they are the same team... they have just figured some things out. However, what they didn't do well at the beginning of the year still shows up... if they are pressing and not hitting from outside, they can't win... and RMC can get cold from outside quick.

[donho]

Yes Dave I have seen them plenty this year. What I was saying is that are playing at a higher level.Oh by the way any team can get cold quickly!
