Lets be honest Lasell had an off day, they are still the team to beat, and looking at the remainder of their schedule there is no one tht can touch them.

Ooops....no one that can touch them? I think you jinxed them. Suffolk put up 112 points (in a non-overtime game) and beat them today. Trouble in Laser-Land??

Yeah, I would say Lasell is not untouchable... if Suffolk can beat them then any team in this conference should be able to beat them

Yes they looked a little tired yesturday, and they stumbled a bit, but when it comes right down to it there is no one in the league who can consistanly match them. They will be just fine come playoff time, and will repeat.

While I agree that Lasell is still the team to beat in the GNAC, if a 2-14 team can put up 112 points on them, the idea that they have the conference on lock is ridiculous.

Lasell 79 Emerson 68
LC clinches home court throughout the playoffs.
No other news, just wanted to see if any of the GNAC fans were still alive! No posts for almost 3 weeks. It's playoff time, wake up!

I will stand by what I said! Lasell will cruise through the GNAC's And will repeat!!!!

Top 4 GNAC Champs of this Century in order..

1. 2002-03 Southern Vermont Mountaineers (Chicago imports in Bennington...)
2. 2003-04 Johnson & Wales Wildcats (Russell, Tamargo, and the Glory Days at Wales)
3. 2001-02 Suffolk Rams (Luisi and the Flex run to a T)
4. 2000-01 WNEC Golden Bears (Physical, defensive-oriented, gritty)

This edition of Lasell may make a run through the GNACs, but they could not play with any of these teams.

Stamp it.

I'd say Isaiah Duke and Spanbauer from Emmanuel for all-rookie team, O'Brien from St Joes too - who else?

bmull · February 22, 2009, 05:59:16 PM

I'm thinking Isaiah Duke and Eric Spanbauer from Emmanuel and Zach O'Brien from St. Joes for all - GNAC rookie - who else?

CCCalum2 · February 25, 2009, 08:48:42 AM

Lasell, St. Joe's, Emmanuel and Albertus Magnus move on in the GNAC's.

Emmanuel @ Lasell
Albertus @ St. Joe's
Thursday Night.

creek....how do you not list Norwich? They were the best champs of the decade...won back-to-back with the same group....it's not even close. Far more legit that #'s 1 and 2 on your list.

All-around · February 26, 2009, 02:20:20 AM

Any word on Emerson losing to Albertus Magnus by 28. That seems unusal?

creekhoops · February 26, 2009, 04:54:14 AM

pipes...

I thought about that, and I suppose your argument is valid. However, the GNAC was down in those two years, with the top two having cleaned house in many ways. I do not think those NU teams get it done against those top two overall. But I'd be willing to slide them in and bump WNEC out, maybe reshuffle the group then...it's all arbitrary anyway...just food for thought. But for one season only, give me either of the top two on my list and you can take the field (anyone left).

GNAC Championship is set, as Emmanuel defeats Lasell 94-91 in double overtime. Emmanuel will travel to Maine for Saturday's GNAC Championship game against St. Joseph's (Maine).

Congrats to Emmanuel on pulling off the upset and knocking out the Lasell Lasers before a packed house in Newton, MA tonight.

Did St Joe - Emmanuel split during the season?
