MBB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

Lefty:

I just home and went to the Lincoln website and saw that the Lions won.  I also saw that Lincoln committed 28 turnovers  .  I'm planning on going to the game in Jersey City later on in the season.  You bring out a good point about Lincoln's depth, which is a stength this year.  In all 4 games this year, Lincoln's bench significantly outscored their opponents.

How was the atmosphere at Manual Rivero Hall?  The box score recorded over 1600 in attendance.

With some of the higher ranked teams loosing, perhaps Lincoln will crack the top 10 in the next poll (That is if they keep winning).  The Lions next two games are in a D2 tournament with Salem International and the University of the District of Colombia.

Good luck to the Gothic Knights for the rest of the season, except when they play Lincoln again  .

Rutgers-Newark 80, York, NY 74

This game was close from the opening tip and could have gone either way, but the Scarlet Raiders pulled it out because they made some big shots during crunch time, while the Cardinals were victimized by several turnovers (some of which were questionable).  Chadd Barnes had an outstanding game for Rutgers-Newark and finished with 25 points, including six three-pointers. Jeffrey Boone paced York with a game-high 27 points.

Mosby and Pryor wrapped up the night on top of Ramapo netting 25 and 17 respectively.  Mosby dished out seven assists and Pryor added three of his own in the win.

Enough said.

LincolnLion,

In my opinion the starting five for both teams are pretty even.  Lincoln won the game because they go ten deep and do not lose much talent wise when they get to the second team.  Lincoln likes to run and you need to have a deep bench to stay with them.

As for the atmosphere....I think 1,600 is a stretch but they had a nice crowd and it was mostly students.  They were very vocal and definitely gave their team the home court advantage. 

I think Lincoln is going to have a great season and I hope to catch another game at some point in the season.

We got to Earl's around 6:15 and they were closed.  We ended up eating at the Perkins off of RT 1.  I think that was the only restaurant in town because the place was packed.  So to answer your question...no.

ramapo wins 77-75 Omar Alston played pretty well in the second half. Didn't play much in the first half (foul  trouble) but had 16 points and 11 boards. could have had 18-21 points lots of shots were in and out. good comeback for the roadrunners.
the richard Stockton center is very good. great game.

what happened to the horton guy from rutgers?

[goramapo]

Ramapo wins again this time 91-73 don't have any stats yet but a 5-0 start is solid. Hopefully I will make the game next week....

goramapo:

The Roadrunners 5-0 start is quite impressive.  I plan on visiting the Bradley Center when Lincoln comes to play you guys.  I'm even trying to convince one my high school classmates who is the current Head Basketball coach at our alma mater and a Ramapo Basketball Hall of Famer to travel with me to the game.

Hopefully, when the two teams meet, both will enter the game undefeated.

what happened to the horton guy from rutgers?

Jermont Horton is a senior and is listed on the roster on the school's website. However, he was not listed on the program of the York game. Maybe he'll play the second half or perhaps he's sitting out the year. He was at the game sitting in the stands behind the Rutgers-Newark bench.

Rhodes,
Thanks.

Mean,

FYI, Kevin's not eligible for NJAC Rookie of the Week...he played one year of junior college ball, so he doesn't qualify. That's why I haven't nominated him for it.

He is the NJCU Athlete of the Week, and earned it.

Thanks for the 411 Ira. I'm pretty sure Kevin Tucker earned that award as well. But I know for sure if he could get rookie of the week, he would have gotten it. I am a witness to how hard this kid has worked and how long he has been waiting for the day to get back on the court. He is like family to me and I am very excited for him because I know and understand everything the guy has done up to this point in his career. We are good friends and our basketball as well as life experiences are very, very relative.
What ever rookie award there is, I wish he could have recieved it. Still in all, I am very proud of him and I want him to continue to work hard and succeed.

Hopefully I will finally get a chance to catch the Knights at TCNJ today.
