MBB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

truck,
   did you go to the games at ramapo?? If so how does the team look.

Unfortunately I was not able to make it to either of the games. They won by 11 and 5 against good competition. I'll be expecting the team to put up more points and finish higher n the standings than they were projected to. But we'll see, they only played 2 games so far and traditionally they always win the Tipoff Tournament.

do you know what happened to the recruit from florida?? he was on the roster during midnight madness but not now??

[goramapo]

hopefully ramapo can win some games and maybe get into the top 45 teams this year and get some hope for the rest of the season. I think this team will be solid coach McBreen always has done a solid if not very good job coaching the roadrunners.....
P.S. Truck hope you got my email.......

Ramapo played a much better all around in the game against Farmingdale than against Yeshiva. However, the team really is going to miss the depth it has had in past years; the team also lacks the defensive specialist that has graced the court since my freshman year in 2003.

The depth at the 4 and 5 is lacking (sahabi  played better than I expected off the bench and contributed by making many scrappy plays--but I didn't see anything to think he will be able to compete at the same level as the competition gets stronger). Alston--who seems like a very coachable player-- really needs to work on his offensive moves, as he was called for an abundance of traveling calls. In addition, for a man his size, he was getting backed in on defense.   Brian Dench played very poorly against Yeshiva. He had a good first half against Farmingdale but was in foul travel and seemed to be anger McBreen by playing tentative defense while trying to avoid getting his 5th foul.  Frost's production in both games seemed to be that of a reserve, although he is expected to be a bigger contributor this year; he lacked the upper body strength to go up strong when in the post.

Mosby and Prior are still the heart and soul of the team--played solid games against each opponent.

Wesley seemed to be on and off, however, I expect him to be one of the better players in the NJAC this year.

GoRamapo,

I'm hoping Ramapo will have a great year this year, and as my "signature" states underneath that Championship photo, I hope they bring back the NJAC trophy to Mahwah this year. I hope to see them on the Top 30 list every week.

Chuck has done a fanstastic job with the team - he is the best D3 coach in NJ and he will have the team working hard.

I am hoping to go to some games this year. last year was tough for me being sick and all. The roadrunners have always been a little think at the 4+5 postions in terms of no depth really at all and I have been going to games siince 1999.   LETS GO RAMAPO.  We need more size the one or two years we depth is they had Greg McBain and stokes.

 Ramapo 74, John Jay 59

Thought everyone would enjoy this stat, which I figured out tonight at the request of one our assistant coaches.

In its history, NJCU is now 216-13 all-time when scoring 90 or more points in a game, including 16 consecutive wins. NJCU has now scored at least 90 in all three games this season.

[Pat Coleman]

Not many teams lose when scoring 90.

[goramapo]

I remember when Ramapo was scoring 85 points a game 3-5 years ago most of the time. btw I thought ramapo won 74 -69 but 74-59 is even better. 3-0 start not bad.......

Good point. I also remember them putting up a lot of points in recent years. I went back to check and here is what they scored in the first and second games of the Tip Off Tournament in recent years.


2006 - 76 and 70
2005 - 87 and 72
2003 - 83 (vs. Yeshiva) and 109
2002 - 114 and 95

I thought we played like the old kentucky wildcats when they were coached by rick pitino push the ball up the court and play great defense and we averaged 88 pts a game that was 3-5 years ago.... I think the guards are good again here at ramapo (not that weren't good the past few years) but no one will compare to tennyson whiiteed and the way he played defense and pushed the ball up the court. Those were very good teams...... I could be wrong with my statements but these my opinions.........

[goramapo]

happy post thanksgiving to everyone.......
