We are still, however, missing Widener in our Poster Preview, which is a terrible, terrible shame. If you want to get your stuff into me on this board: http://www.d3sports.com/post/index.php?topic=5147.0 or via PM I will be more than happy to add it to the site and PDF document! Thanks!

All,
      A former CAC player on the best York College of Pennsylvania team of all-time, Padraic K. Lee #33, has created a websire to help develop an easier way for athletes, fans, coaches, and sponsors to connect off the feild.  This could be very beneficial for top rated college players also.  We plan to have a myriad of oversea's coaches and scouts as part of our network.  For all the D3 players, like myself, to have a network to communicate with oversea's coaches would be great.  I know that making the NBA would be to lofty of a goal.  This website could help those collegiate players of any sport be able to network effectively to continue their athletic career anywhere, or anytime.

Caught the NJCU Lyco game tonight.  Good game, NJCU wins but let Lyco get back into the game towards the end.  The Knights did a good job at the line at the end of the game when lyco had to foul.  NJCU is starting to look better, they had good ball movement tonight, played good defense, the press was very effective.  I only caught the second half, but NJCU had the lead and did not give it up.

Lyco has a decent starting five, a couple of good shooters, number 1 and 12 started and were dangerous from outside.  Number 30 came in off the bench and has a real nice shot.  Number 12 is also kind of sneaky, he just seemed to come out of no where a couple of times and make a play.  Lyco does not do a good job against the press, and tried a half-hearted press a couple of times.  They are not bad in their zone d.  They also had good ball movement when they could get into their half court offense, very patient, worked for the shot, and followed up nicely.  NJCU was able to run them into the ground some.  From what I saw Lyco should do fairly well against half court teams but will struggle if you make them run and press them on D.  William Paterson and Ramapo could drive them nuts.

Good game, fun to watch and a nice win for NJCU going into the break,.

Wow... quiet in here...

Just wanted to get a reaction to the Rutgers - Tennessee women's game yesterday.  It appears as though Lebanon Valley's old game clock guy has moved to Tennessee.

With 0.2 left, and Rutgers up 1, the clock MYSTERIOUSLY stopped.  Then, the eventual game-changing foul was called, and the clock restarted.  Haven't seen anything like it, since, um, about '94.  Eh, Warren?  )

Well now, Colonel, I do believe you've confused March 1994 in Buffalo with a more recent football playoff game in Virginia wherein the Bridgewater clock operator may have done some strange things with his start/stop buttons, thus allowing Bridgewater to pull out a last-second win.

In Buffalo, it was a different matter altogether, one that just might have involved an entity from the "other side" ("Hot Dog Frank" looks after his own, in case you didn't know).

Some people do have bionic hands and can't help the quickbuzz either ehh...

[ColonelJohn4Life]

March '94 in Buffalo... absolutely.  And say what you will about Hot Dog Frank, his statue still bears a title ring.

The Giants fan in me is now required to say, "And that's one more ring than Tiki Barber has."

How about Lycoming coming in and winning the Commonwealth Regular Season? Any thoughts?

[luvdahoops]

Without knowing much about Lycoming at the beginning of the season, my guess is thqt the other CC members though Lyco may be one of the two teams that would be ending their season on Saturday.  Well, if we haven't learned anything else, at least we're reminded that "that's why we play the games."

It's been one wacky season.

"Without knowing much about Lycoming at the beginning of the season, my guess is thqt the other CC members though Lyco may be one of the two teams that would be ending their season on Saturday."

I'm sure the other Commonwealth members took note that Lyco had everyone back from last season, where they finished 13-12. Also, Lyco has been one of the top 4 teams in the Freedom since 2002 where they won the conference in '02 and '04.

[Lyco80]

And, unless I missed something, I think the Warriors welcome nearly the entire team back next season too.  The bball season was all over the place - with any team having a legitimate chance to knock off one another.  It is hard to make sense of it except to say that the team with the hot hand seems to be the one who wins, regardless of record or other considerations.

Go Warriors!  Defeat the Dutchmen.

I have seen Lyco play a few times of the last several years and the one thing I notice every time is they need to be better conditioned.  Good shooters, good zone defenders and good rebounders.  You force them out of their half-court game and they start to suck wind.  I am not saying they can't stop a running team, they can.  I just feel if they were better conditioned they could take that next step.
