Basically it comes down to this, if Abe wasn't going to play next semester Coach would not let him sit on the bench./

I think Abe will be playing sometime this year. He has a very intense load and maybe needed sometime to rest his mind and body.

Ramapo beats Division I Biola (8-3) today, winning the PHX Cactus Jam Tournament.

The final score was 74-70 in overtime.

Outstanding game for Shawn Frost (17 pts. 8 rebounds)

Ramapo shot 40% and 42% in the two halves. Biola started out cold (35% in first half) but shot 50% in the second half. However, RC put up 10 more shots in the second half.

Biola is an NAIA Division I school, but traditionally a very strong basketball program at that level.

I took in the doubleheader on Thursday evening at Montclair State. In the opener, Keene State squandered a 20-point lead in the second half against SUNY-Plattsburg, but managed to pull out the victory in overtime. Keene State is physical and aggressive with some solid outside shooters. Plattsburg has several good players and is athletic.

In the second contest, Montclair blew an eight-point lead with 1:32 remaining in the game and lost to Bridgewater State, MA 68-67. Another solid outing for MSU's Gian Paul Gonzalez, who scored 33 points. Gonzalez can score, rebound and defend and is a legitimate All-American candidate. Jonathan Arthur and Jamal Ford also contributed for MSU. Derick Thompson, a burly 6-3 power forward, played well for Bridgewater.

On Friday afternoon, I saw Rutgers-Newark waltz past Hunter, 87-60. The visiting Scarlet Raiders led from the start and the game was never competitive. Hunter was coming off their only win of the season (vs. FDU-Florham), but they were completely outclassed in this matchup.

Hats off to the Roadrunners!!! When everyone on the outside were assuming we were out of the picture, you guys pulled together and went to Arizona and won the first ever championship for Ramapo!!! Congradulations to the Roadrunners!!! I know how tough it is in that tournament, and for you to win it for the first time shows that you guys have lots of pride!!! Now build on the streak, the second half of the season was always my favorite!!! See you guys soon!!

I have a feeling that Abe will be playing next semester.

Good call Knightstalker, I see that Abe played this evening. He will surely help in the paint the rest of the year.

Abe is back and NJCU wins their seventh straight.

Glad to hear Abe is back on the hardwood. What a time to welcome the big fella back on board. Seven in a row, keep up the good work.

I was at the RCNJ- TCNJ game last night and witnessed one of Scott Findlays' greatest perfomances of his college career. He simply was unstoppable from beginning to the end. Hopefully the Roadrunners can take his determination and will to win and do something with it for themselves. That game makes me wonder how really good was the tournament this year out in Phoenix. I was scratching my head and biting my nails trying to figure out if this was the team I just cut down the nets with. I see alot of uneccessary complaining going on by players that have the opportunity to play most of the minutes, but I don't see any of it resulting in anything possitive. Then I see guys that are supposedly trying to earn minutes doing an even worst job when they get in the game. Coach McBreen is one of the greatest when it comes to preparation. For some reason, these guys are not playing according to the game plan. 54 points by RCNJ is just unacceptable. Pryor had an exceptional game. I can honestly say he has stepped up as the leader of the team, but it comes down to the other guys wanting to follow, and if not, simply stepping up and being leaders as well. All egos must be checked at the door, and then let go. Lets Go Roadrunners!

I saw Findley have one of those games against NJCU a couple of years ago in Ewing. When he gets hot, forget about stopping him, stop the others and try to keep up. The Lions always seem to get some of the best pure shooters in the state. Too bad they can't get a couple of slashers and some wide bodies for the paint.
