NE Region General Questions

yikes talking about putting your team at a disadvantage escpecially sense Newbury easily beat GMC in the Regualar season..congrats to GMc though of pulling off the upset win

[the_real_gnac]

well technically Newbury doesn't have there own gym but regardless of were the game was played GMC won i see it was only a 2 pt win.Congrats to them for turning the team around this year there are some great players in this conference i wonder how the all conference team goes. Thinking it may be a long shot for GMC to get a bid in the tourney due to the politics behind selections but it would be nice to see how they rank amonst these teams since their schedule didnt allow them to.Good Luck

[the_real_gnac]

one last thing does any one know of camps or exposure leagues that are available to the players of this conference

[newenglandball]

camps or exposure leagues for players of this conference? are you crazy?  teams or players need to get exposure theirselves.

on another not.  the indpendent tourney in New England will be gone next year as UMPI is the only Indpendent left nextyear.

Newbury, Mitchell, Southern Vermont will all be charter members of the NECC.

Green Mountain and Lyndon State will be in the NAC.

I'm not sure you could classify Newbury's win the first time as an easy one, it was just 7 points at the end, but from the looks of it, the Nighthawks certainly gave GMC everything it could handle. That game, I understand, basically determined the first and second spots for New England Pool B teams, but with only four bids, it's unlikely either will get in the NCAA's. Especially with Nebrasksa Wesleyan having a great in-region record (6-1), despite having only played 7 in-regon games because the conference they are in is NAIA.

i guess the NCAA thought Green Mountain's schedule was way to week to get a Pool B

They never had a chance; just too many bad teams on the schedule.

I like to look at the teams GM lost too, here goes Bard, Newbury, Lyndon st, NEC, East Conn. Minus East conn and look at those teams.

looks like Newbury is the only Independent school left playing as they are hosting JWU as a 3 seed in the ECAC's.

congrats to hammond for winning POY in the independents....heard it was a tough race b'n him n harrington

[THE BIG MAN]

How does a player who average 27 and 15 not get player of the year not to say he leads the nation in rebounding and he is in sports illustrated harrington also got player of the week 11 times and player of the month twice had a 30 and 30 game how doesnt harrington from svc get the poy award if you look at the game he played and the team then look at gmc and who they played i just dont understand

[newenglandball]

because he is a good player on a really bad team. if he was that good.. his team would have won more games.

Congradulations to Doug Hammond for signing in Germany good luck out there.It's funny how this kid got no press release seems like these d3hoop politics kick in even after the season i mean isnt that finally an accomplishment for him but yet no recognition who chooses these things

[Pat Coleman]

the_real_gnac: If his school would bother to log in and post a release the way all the other schools do, then it would appear with the other releases.

It isn't politics. EVERY school has a login. EVERY release that they send gets posted, automatically. It's a matter of a school actually DOING it.

[the_real_gnac]

sorry about that i thought it all went through the website.I just dont understand why a school wouldnt want that to be known sorry about that pat
