MBB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

[NJBALLERZ]

Rowan running some kind of "system"? Stats kind of hint to that. All their scores are over 100 as well.

I don't think so.  They're definitely running a more pro-style offense, for sure - but I think its just pace and efficiency.  They're not subbing like a System team and while they're taking a lot of threes, it's not a system volume, for sure.

Ryan - great points. I do not believe they are playing a "System" per say, however, I do believe Coach Crisspin has that mentality and mindset where they don't really care about sitting in the half court and guarding. They are pressing and running and jumping all over the floor. From the looks of it they are speeding teams up, turning them over and creating more shots for themselves, leading to their high point totals. This is nothing new for the Profs - they have a loaded roster this year with multiple scholarship transfers in Ross, Seager, and O'Leary. Looking forward to the TCNJ match-up tonight. NJAC looks like it is gonna be a true gauntlet yet again.

This website says the game vs Ramapo was cancelled. It's a conference game. That couldn't reschedule that?? The WP website has them winning by forfeit. The Ramapo website has it cancelled.

I'm not sure specifically for the NJAC, in this case, but many conferences have adopted COVID policies whereby a school that can't play due to COVID forfeits the game - rescheduling isn't an option.  They don't want to make teams load up schedules later in the year - three conferences games in a week, for example.

Rutgers-Camden over NJCU. .
Truly,  a head scratcher for sure.

[TheOsprey]

Nice add on game--  DeSales @ Stockton 2/7. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rematch in the NCAA tournament if both teams get in.  This game will be for the top seed in region #4 if both teams keep winning.

Another bracket-buster kind of game. I like it!

[TheOsprey]

Excellent week for the Ospreys.  Stockton dominates DeSales for the region 4 top ranking and defeats two rivals to clinch the regular season title and top seed in the NJAC conference tournament.  Let's FINISH IT this season for the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Plus, we chat with teams in Regions 1 and 2, 4, 6, and 8 to see how they are preparing themselves for their conference finishes.

Guests include:

Congratulations to my beloved Stockton Ospreys.
Excellent stretch run to end the regular season and taking the NJAC tournament title.
I like our chances of hosting an opening round pod and bringing the NCAA tournament back to Galloway Twp.

[TheOsprey]

Stockton hosts Wilson and the winner goes against the winner of Yeshiva vs JHU (1p) Friday. Strong pod! 

[RowanPhan]

Mark your calendars... the Rowan men's basketball team (23-5) has earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament and will take on Susquehanna in the first round on Friday, March 4 at Christopher Newport University. Game time is 5 p.m.

Rowan is led in scoring by All-NJAC First Team selection Marcellus Ross, who is averaging 17.6 points per game, with Andrew Seager, who received All-NJAC Honorable Mention, averaging 14.9 points per game. Arian Azemi (13.9 ppg) and Hafeez Melvin (12.8) are the team's other double-figure scorers.
