Nescac1,Your are a little confident with Middleury.Let me tel you a little story.                                                                                                               Last weekend sitting in the lounge of the Crowne plaza with a couple parents from Scranton i also noticed Becker fans. Well to make the story short the lady got up and start walking out of the lounge as she was walking she turned around and said to the other Becker fans i will see you in Middlebury guess how that turned outand then to find out it was the coaches wife.It is good to be confident but do not be over confident because the Royals are peaking right now.

nescac1.....did my duty and voted for the polar bear early.  Should make the trip up to Lancaster, Pa.  Buy you a beer at the pub across from the gym.  I know, the traffic can be a ....on Friday.
Nice preview of the teams in the Amherst pod on the Amherst website.  Times of the game finally out.  Friday's Amherst game at 7:30 PM.  Can leave a little later and miss the traffic going north....and most of the first game that starts at 5:30 PM.  Hear that the students are on Spring break at F&M.  Good seats maybe available for us late arrivals who got a bite to eat.
ECSUAlum....nescac1 is just being nice to Midd. here in his post.  He is a very loyal Williams fan and graduate...and a resident of the D.C. area.  The last point is to give him a positive image....guess I should put a smily face here or get dinged again. Simile!

amh63,
we're trying to get the students to delay their spring break plans until Saturday, otherwise the home court advantage doesn't help.

Anyone's confidence or predictions on a blog like this mean nothing.  What fans, players families etc. say to each other at the gym, in a hotel or elsewhere are equally unimportant.  All of this chat is fun, but of no value other than to have a debate.  We are all having fun.  The players play the game.  I dont see coaches or players talking, only playing.  Pulling for Midd, but nothing will be a surprise to me this weekend.  Like most of us, I have never seen the other teams and know almost nothing about them.

Amherst fans, how does this year's team compare to the 2004 squad that beat F&M in the Elite 8? I remember that team shooting very well from the perimeter and playing great defense. Harper, Donovan, and Schiel were good players.

I guarantee that there are no Midd (or any other teams for that matter) players, coaches or coaches wives that are anything but respectful of the abilities of every team coming to Midd this weekend.  Any team in the country can win or lose this weekend. It only takes hot performances or less than stellar performances by any of the Teams.

For conference posters, thanks to the NCAA/F&M...I was able to access the WCSU vs. F&M game on the Dips (thats what they call themselves...so calm down) athletic website.  Go to the schedule section, hit video and then hit "on demand" and pick up the game...if interested.  No cost!  After watching the game, I feel better about the game ahead, etc.

Those three guys have graduated unfortunately so we are a very different squad. We have also had a 100% turnover of assistant coaches in the past 8 seasons.

Also, if you can shoot 9-11 from 3pt from your starting five, you will have a good chance at beating us like Brandeis did...but Toomey didn't play in that game so even then it is not guaranteed. We are tall, long, athletic, and can shoot. We play 9 and can get significant production on both ends from all 9. We will score more than 60 points.

Amherst has a lot more height then Western does, so they should be able to match up better with Hayk Gyocken then we were able to.  He abused us in the paint on Saturday because we had no one that could match up with him.

That's a minus 10 points in the NCAA Fantasy League for misspelling my player, Hayk Gyokchyan.

Yeah, we just got the email with free food to try and beg us to stay. I'm gonna be here Friday, but can't change my airline ticket to stay for Saturday!

I think Dave is performing at halftime....you should see him juggle while riding a unicycle.  Amazing.
