MBB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

[NJBALLERZ]

When do the pre season conference rankings come out?

Gotta believe Ramapo is pre season #1?

Who is 2-6?

NJCU
Stockton
Rowan
Montclair
Newark

Just some food for thought... happy college basketball season.

I like Ramapo.. but you forgot to include TCNJ in 2-6.
Lions are solid #2 in very tough NJAC conference

[TheOsprey]

Make projection:

1. Ramapo
2. Stockton
3. TCNJ
4. NJCU

The rest???

[NJBALLERZ]

Stockton returns pretty much everyone - they are going to be very very tough this year. Who brought in the most talented class of FR this year? I haven't heard anything about new talent throughout the league other than Matt Latka transferring to Ramapo.

[gordonmann]

I like Stockton as the No. 2 in the NJAC behind prohibitive favorite Ramapo. I was impressed with what I saw of the Ospreys' young team last year.

[daddyhoops]

Still think TCNJ is lock at #2 and gives Ramapo a run.
Murdock in his senior yr gotta be motivated to win the NJAC.

I don't know much about the NJAC, but just seeing TCNJ lose their top 2 and 3 of 5 doesn't scream out "lock at #2" to me. Did they bring in some nice freshmen or transfers?

[TheOsprey]

I see that too, Greek.

Murdock is a stud and I am thinking he could be an all-american this year.  However, teams will load up against him, if the Lions don't have more go-to scorers.

Stockton will be rotating 10+ guys this season and with their up tempo pace; opponents better have more horses for fresher legs at the end.

Go Ospreys!!

Thoughts on the released poll? I see there may be some disagreements about the College of New Jersey.

[TheOsprey]

Make projection:

1. Ramapo
2. Stockton
3. TCNJ
4. NJCU

The rest???

I'd probably flip NJCU & TCNJ realizing how much talent the Lions lost from last year.

[NJBALLERZ]

What do people thinking of Rowan being ranked at 4 in the pre-season polls?

TCNJ and Montclair should have some extra motivation after seeing of the coaches voted this year in the NJAC.

Excited to watch NJCU tonight and see what life is like for the Gothic Knights post Jalen Harris.

[NJBALLERZ]

Stockton and NJCU both starting the year with wins at home. Total opposite paths for those teams this year. Tons of new faces for NJCU and mainly all returners from Stockton. NJCU looks quicker, but maybe a little less physical than teams in the past.

[TheOsprey]

Stockton won in OT with three players recording career scoring games.  Need to improve perimeter defense, but still a good test in first game. 

NJCU has a new look and similar results.

Conference has seven games this week in six tourneys and a long trip to the NW--  George Fox.

[TheOsprey]

What do people thinking of Rowan being ranked at 4 in the pre-season polls?

Rowan has some good test early. To early for me until they play the Ospreys next week.

Last night in NJAC

Stockton wins over Cent. NJ.--  face Morrisville in final of their tip-off tourney
TCNJ lose by four to Utica--  face Bard
Rowan smoked by Albright and face tourney host Susquehanna who were upset.
Montclair defeats the system and Greenville--  will face Frosty in tourney champ.
R-Newark defeats George Fox out west got another in the NW today
WPU lose by two to Manhattanville.
R-Camden crushed by Misericordia

Big guns Ramapo and NJCU go tonight.
Kean playing FDU tonight, so everyone has a tilt.  Good luck NJAC!!
