He got hit in the face early in the 2nd half (could have been late 1st half).  He was on the floor for a couple minutes, but he got up and walked off on his own.  He didnt look wobbly or anything, and the hit didn't appear to be all that hard, so I think it is not concussion related.  My guess is that it is nose related, so he may be playing with a mask tomorrow.  Just a guess, though, I havent talked to anyone.

Good to Know.  I don't think MIT can afford to lose any of the 5 starters and go very far.

We'll see, he is still no guarantee for this weekend, but if they can get it done against Farmingdale, I think he wouid return for next weekend (although I don't have a diagnosis, so that is just my speculation).

So who defends Matthews tomorrow?  Hollingsworth or Tashman ?

Both, I'm sure they will throw some of their athletic freshmen bigs at him also, like Acker and Redfield.

Nice job by WPI today!

Looks like Hollingsworth is taking the matchup with AJ Matthews personally.  Hollingsworth has come out firing, to the tune of 27 points and 5 rebounds in the first half.  Matthews was held to 4 points and 1 rebound on just a single FGA.  MIT leads 53-34 at the half.  MIT's only senior, Billy Bender is not playing tonight because of an eye injury in last nights game.

Again congrats to MIT on the big win tonight.  In addition to the team performance, there were some individual marks set.

Jamie Karraker set the record for most 3s in a season by knocking down his 99th 3 pointer, passing Andrew Tsai's record of 98 from 03-04 .

Mitch Kates also passed Jimmy Bartolotta's career steals mark, besting MIT's all-time leading scorers 184 steals by getting to 185.

I believe Noel Hollingsworth also set an MIT post-season single-game scoring mark with his 37.



I also hope that Billy Bender gets back as soon as possible. He suffered an eye injury last night and was out of tonight's game.

So, nerd, what do you think?  Do they make everyone drive to Lancaster or does MIT get to host?  Did they even apply?

MIT will apply, they renovated the seating this summer so they may be eligible (not sure honestly).  However, if I had to bet I would say Staten Island hosts.  F&M is on the same side of the bracket as #1 Amherst, so they probably are not the highest remaining seed level (#4, if this were a normally laid out bracket).  The hosts on the other side of the bracket were Hartwick and Staten Island, and as Hartwick lost, the highest remaining seed that is eligible to host may be Staten Island and they are the most centrally located geographically also.

Congrats MIT - way to represent!

I think this is the best MIT could have hoped for (other than hosting themselves). They get a neutral court game against Staten Island and Amherst has to play a tough game against the host school on the other side of the bracket.

Congrats to WPI on the easy win in the NE ECAC final today over Salve Regina. Jamie Shannon was named tourney MVP.
