Rams,

Safe to say the committee made the right choice leaving Montclair out considering that they couldnt beat Lehman on their home court! Another great prediction by you saying Baruch was going to get blown out by U-Mass Darthmouth, i checked the play by play on the box score and it was 72-72 before Darthmouth finished the game on a 10-0 run to win by 10. Oh yea Baruch 3-0 vs Lehman this year...

Queens,
The game was played at Lehman – not Montclair. There was a schedule conflict on Montclair's home court.

I also believe you went on record as saying that Baruch and Brooklyn will be going places in the NCAA's. While you were giddy that the CUNYAC got two teams in the NCAA tourney while the NJAC got only one. At least that one NJAC team is still playing – and hosting next weekend. So let's stop poking fun at "Rams" for his predictions.

Montclair had to suffer through being upset by Rutgers Newark on a last second trey – and then had to wait and see if they would get a call from the NCAA committee. Hard to get a team up for the ECAC's after that. Usually we see these sort of ECAC upsets every year – the team with something left to prove beating the team that expected more and got snubbed. Frankly, I'd never read anything into any ECAC result – same for the NIT.

...and remember that predictions are just that – predictions!

I understand everything your saying, im just giving rams a hard time, because he came on the CUNY board saying that Baruch didnt deserve to be in the tournament. I didnt say they would make noise, i said they had a chance in there games. And both teams played well vs teams in the sweet 16, expecially Baruch who took UMD right down to the wire. Richard Stockton has been a top 15 team all season and had a great team last year not a shock they are where they are, it would have been more of a shock if they lost.

I took offense to Rams coming on the CUNY board saying Baruch didnt deserve to be playing in the tournament and Montclair did. Montclair didnt make there conference tournament lost to Rutgers Newark, who baruch beat @ Rutgers Newark, and they beat St Marys by 19. The only common opponent they lost to was William Patterson, but Baruchs All Conference Center didnt play in the game due to injury.

Montclairs ECACs loss not a big deal i was just trying to throw some salt in the wound of Rams. Hes a great fan and a great poster, my favorite team is out ( Baruch) just trying to have some fun on here. Me and Rams have been going back and forth for a couple months now...

Queens.
That's OK. I've been rubbing salt in Rams' wounds since he came on this board years ago.

When you're a TCNJ fan and you haven't had an NCAA tournament win (on the men's side) since 1989, you have to pick your shots. The best thing I can say about my squad is that they beat both Stockton and Paterson this year.

I think we (NJAC fans), remember a lot of years of CUNY mediocrity with quick losses in the NCAA tourney. I will say that it seems that the CUNY has improved in recent years – while the NJAC hasn't been quite as deep as in years past. I do think that if RU Newark's 3 pointer at the buzzer didn't fall, Montclair would have been in. That's a bitter pill for any Montclair fan!!! Tee, hee, hee...!

Looks like the odds are changing-- The AC Press posted that a fan bus with 50 people was soldout and another 50 tickets were sold above the bus trip!! Stockton's fan base as per the "white shoes", now stands @ 2-1!!

GO OSPREYS!! FINAL FOUR, BABY!!

Well, after all these years he's probably worn out 100 pairs pacing the hard wood. Good luck in the Final Four!

TCNJ's Hillary Klimowicz was just named the 2009 State Farm-WBCA National Division III Player of the Year at the Final Four banquet. It would be nice to see two NJAC team in a national championship game this weekend.
