OK Montclair, Rut-Nwk comes to play us in the NJAC Semi-Finals. A real tough game. Time to get prepared, Coach Fiore has been there before, and just take care of business. I know you can do it. Good Luck. ;)

Let's hope for a MSU victory, both games against Rutgers-Newark have been hard fought battles, so it should be fun to watch.

Unfortunatly, I will not be at the men's game Tuesday, but I am covering the women's game on Wednesday against Kean, who jsut destroyed Rutgers-Newark 68-33.

Montclair loses by (1). (2) point lead with :03 left and Rut-Nwk hits a Rainbow (3). A tough loss. Congrats to Rut-Nwk. Looks like it's on to the ECAC'S for the Red Hawks. You guys had a nice year, keep together and come back even stronger next year.

Ouch, rough loss, sadly I missed the game, it sounded like a very good game. Tomorrow the women's team plays in the NJAC semifinals so hopefully they will win tomorrow and Saturday and take the NJAC on their side.


Hopefully the men's team can capture an ECAC title.

I realize that an NCAA Post Season Bid is not in the cards, but is it a possibility if enough of the right teams lose? We did not play our best game and I thought we had it when Rut-Nwk in bounded with (4) seconds and we're up by (2), we then foul, which we had one to give up and they have :03 left and I thought we had it. Well that's why they play the game. Good luck to Stockton and Rut-Nwk. Represent the NJAC well !!!!!!!!!

Don't ask me why, but I think Montclair may have an outside shop for a Pool "C". Their stregnth of schedule at #58 may be their saving grace. If by chance you do get a Pool "C" don't screw it up and go as deep as you can.

Might be a stretch with that loss, i gave them no shot weeks ago but you were much wiser than me.  I think if they beat rutgers newark and lost to Stockton in the championship you might have been right.  But i think that Rutgers Newark loss did them in... Doesnt look like any team from the atlantic will be receiving an at large bid... :-[

If Stockton or Farmingdale lose they may get a Pool C bid, they are the only teams with a shot in my opinion.

I think it is very unlikely that either will lose, especially farmingdale but crazier things have happened...

I agree with you on Farmingdale and Stockton. With Montclair at 20-6, Strength Of Scheule #58 and the NCAA had us 3rd in the Atlantic, leaves us a glimmer of hope. Up by (2) and Rutg-Nwk comes up with a rainbow with 3 tenths of a second left is a real killer, but that's why we play the game. The NJAC though not as tough as in them past, but Stockton, Montclair, and Willy P are a pretty tough 1-2-3 punch to any other conference. That is why I think Montclair has a glimmer of hope. ::) Time will tell.

Farmingdale got upset in the Skyline Championship by St. Joe's, which will hurts Montclair's chances big time. To me, that glimmer of hope had disappeared.

I think you correct, but now it a very very dim glimmer. Ithaca (geez I hate those guys) loses to Nazareth, WPI loses to RPI really killed us. If you look at D3's predictions for Pool "C" they make sense. You never know what the crazy NCAA does, so there is a very, very slight glimmer. ::)

Final thoughts on the NCAA Tournament. You can make a case not to put in St. Mary's 21-5  14-2  #293 , but the the (1) less loss should get them in.

Therefore one open spot for a Pool "C" and the candidates are :

Team        Record    Conference    Stregnth of Schedule

Montclair    20-6            11-2                       #70
Amherst     21-6              7-2                       #73
Agustana   18-8              9-5                       #62

My guess is Amherst because of past performance. Too many teams that should have won their tournaments did not. I guess that's why we play the games. A glimmer of hope for Montclair to make the dance, but probably an ECAC bid.

So much for strength of schedule counting towards the NCAA's.  Baruch makes the tournament with a strength of schedule in the 300's.  Go get em in the ECACS Montclair!
