MBB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

If NJCU beats Newark and Montclair beats Ramapo 4 teams would tie for 2nd at 7-6.  Good luck trying to figure which of those 7-6 teams make the tournament.

If the above happens Newark will have (7) losses. They are out. NJCU is then in and the tie breaker in the MSU / Ramapo game is huge. If MSU loses "adios and vio condios". If MSU wins I think they are in. In closing, "if the Queen had balls she would be the King."

Here's the official scenario:

Ramapo is in. Montclair is out. No matter what happens.

If NJCU wins and Ramapo wins, Ramapo is the #2 and faces Rowan; NJCU would be the #3 and visit Kean.
If NJCU wins and Montclair wins, NJCU is the #2 seed, Ramapo is the #3
If Newark wins, Ramapo is the #2 and Newark is the #3, regardless of the results of the Ramapo/MSU game.

If NJCU wins and Montclair wins, NJCU is the #2 seed, Ramapo is the #3

Ira, You are more astute at this then I am, but if the above happens the records will be the same. What tie breaker gives it to Ramapo? Thanks.

First tiebreaker is head to head. Next tiebreaker is divisional record.

Looks like the same old crap with Montclair. They did pretty well and even took down Ramapo in the last game of the year when they knew they were not elegable for the NJAC Tournament. You think Coach Fiore would have registered Montclair for the ECAC'S and give the team something to shoot for. They still have until 5:00PM today. I guess not I'm not going to hold my breath. Same went for the Football program this year. I just don't get it.

Rams, you get no pity from me. It's now been 23 years since TCNJ has last won an NCAA tournament game and 14 years since they last played in one. A far cry from the 31-2 1989 season. The only positive to take away from yet another losing season is that the Lions were very competitive this year with a roster full of underclassmen. I thought the group of incoming freshman were the best for TCNJ in years. We'll see if this translates into more W's in 2013 and 14.

Phil, not looking for sympathy. Just trying to figure out why no common sense. I guess we now have the Rowan attitude, NCAA or Bust. Makes no sense. Have a good weekend.

IMHO Stockton should get in, they would cause a lot of havoc, but their record will be their demise. (8) loses will not do it. If they beat Willy P the NJAC would have (2) in. In any event, below are my (19) to make the dance beside the AQ'S, Not in any order :

1.St. Joe's (LI)   
2.Hartwick
3.Hobart
4.NYU
5.Wittenberg
6.Keystone
7.Wheaton
8.Transylvania
9.Lale Forrest
10.Concordia (WI)
11.Middleburry
12.RIC
13.W.Conn
14.MHB
15.Birm-South
16.R-M
17.Emory
18.Tex-Dallas
19.UWW

Let's see how I do.

Many of the teams are opting out of the ECACs with the mentality of it's either the NCAA's or nothing.  Some schools can't be eligible because of when they start their season.  It has to do with the number of weeks your season runs.  That automatically knocks some teams out from the start. Not sure what Montclair's situation is, but my feeling is you get the kids into whatever post season tournament you can..

Very surprised Stockton didn't get in.  I would think they had a tougher strength of schedule than NYU

[Pat Coleman]

Record is important, too.

+K All the kids could use the experience. My Red Hawks need to get off their high horses.

List the transfer or frosh recruit studs around the NJAC this season?

[guyman]

Anyone out there going to TCNJ at Ramapo game this Saturday?

[Knightstalker]

Just watched the NJCU Stockton playoff game online.  NJCU gave Stockton all they could handle but lost 55-51, the Cinderella run is over for NJCU.  Hope they get an ECAC bid.
