KSC-

Season over today? Here is what I think

1. Eastern (LEC Winner)
2. Tufts (NESCAC Winner)
3. Wheaton (NEWMAC Winner)
4. WNEC (TCCC Winner)
5. Babson (At-Large)
6. Westfield St. (MASCAC Winner)
7. St. Joe's (GNAC Winner)
8. Mitchell (NECC Winner)

Husson (NAC/NEAC Winner) will be shipped out to New York

Keene, Amherst, MIT all have the possibility of earning an at-large bid

[KSCfan]

Hobbesy you would take Babson over Keene even when Keene beat them earlier in the year, and they have two wins over WNEC?  I know that I am homer but i feel that if Keene can make it to the final day of the LEC than they have to have a great shot at least getting the at large.

If Mitchell or anyother team from the NECC gets shipped out to the New York region and a team like Oneonta or B-Port gets bumped for them I am gonna have a cow!!! Not one team out of the NECC deserves an auto bid and they sure wouldnt hold a candle to the two teams I just mentioned.I watched the NECC for the past two years and it is a joke of a conference.And if commisioner Del Malloy wants to argue that fact with me PLEASE just email me.

I think you gotta have two at large out of NE with the quality left on the sidelines. Keene has beaten Babson, WNEC Westfield state, split with Husson, and will probably split with Wheaton and Eastern. Hard to keep themout

An automatic bid team has not impact on the selection of the Pool C at large teams.

Onenota and Bridgeport will have to fend for themselves inside the regional rankings.

KSC-

You make a great argument for Keene.

Babson has three losses to MIT and two to Wheaton so far.  Also lost to ECSU and Keene.  Besides NEWMAC tourney, no more games against quality teams.  They need to make the title game to have a chance I think.  Its too bad because they have some great pitchers that can win them a tournament.

Keene's resume is looking good right now and they have been picked as an at-large in the past thanks to their schedule.  Wins against WNEC, Babson, Westfield and Amherst are huge wins! They take six of their last seven (win out in non conference, sweep USM and split with Eastern) and then win two games in the LEC tournament they should be a lock.

Thanks for challenging my judgement.  Keene and others who are hoping for at-large bids are rooting hard for no upsets especially in the CCC.  WNEC needs to win that title or a lot of teams could be screwed over.

Hobbesy-

Good point about Brandies, Curry, and Colby-Sawyer.  Keene should be able to beat all three of them, and need to beat them.  Conference DH against USM  and Eastern are going to go a long way about the at large.  If Keene can win one of the games against Eastern that will also really help.  I would also think a couple of wins in the LEC tourny would help a lot as well. 

But, hey like i said before, i am not worried as Eastern will get the at large bid, and Keene will get the AQ!!

[Tarheel0550]

What i am saying ralph is that not one team from the necc is worth a crap,and if they were in a tough conference like the SUNYAC or LEC they wouldnt have a prayer of making regionals.There is already talk of disbanding the necc for this very reason,that they are less than a sub-par conference.As far as fending for themselves i think if Oneonta can take atleast one from St.J Fisher I think they have done enough to get an atlarge bid.They do have some good wins over quality opponents.

That CCC tourney could be a real messer up if WNEC does not win. I hate to say it but I'm rooting for Colby Sawyer tomorrow against Keene. KSC will have to win the LEC tourney or sweep ESCU and USM and then pray and do a ghost dance.

KSC,
   Why would you root for Colby Sawyer if you are a Keene St. fan??? How does Colby Sawyer beating Keene St. help Keene St?

Much the same as when WNEC played KSC...my son was a coach at WNEC. As is KSCers son is a coach at C-S. Bly the way.

[KSCfan]

nice bly guy referance word.........

suppoused to rain on cs/keene today hopefully they get game in

looking ahead what are some games with regional impact that we can keep an eye out for

keene/eastern would be one that im watching two top 8 new england teams going at it, but enough of my lec bias what other games?

[Niner]

Keep an eye out  for Endicott. They are having a good year and are somewhat flying under the radar. They play Westfield State and UMass Boston this week and would be 2 big wins.

[KSCfan]

Wheaton vs Eastern tommrow would be a good game as well
