Hope you'll stop by and say howdy to us up in the broadcast booth, if you're there nice and early...

To anyone that's making the trip...safe travels!

I will try to meet you guys there in the booth...Weather is becoming a formidable opponent...Everyone drive safely, the Nor'easter is not one to mess with!!

Go UAA and go NYU (and Wash U.)!!!!

 my apologies to atnwriter, bachdog and jagluski ( and anyone else),
would love to read your game recaps as well.

Congrats to the Wash U. Bears on reaching the Final. They played a heck of a game and executed on both ends of the floor. Congrats is also due to an NYU team that wasn't really supposed to do much this year and really played some excellent basketball down the stretch.

McFarlin for Wash U. was the real standout as far as I'm concerned, she at times was scoring at will and was a real force in the post. NYU did not play what I consider to be their game, a fast-paced transition game that feeds the post and creates open shots. Part of that game relies on the ability to get the big defensive rebounds and turn around and push the ball up the court. I haven't checked the stats from the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rebound margin between NYU and Wash U. was twenty rebounds. Wash U. forced NYU in to making shots they really aren't comfortable with, and unfortunately for NYU they couldn't make them. That said, it was a closer game than the scoreboard tells...

Want to wish NYU good luck versus Mary Washington!!! GO NYU!

Sorry I missed you guys in the booth, handing out directions to people in the middle of a blizzard took up most of the time

Should be a great Final, interesting these 2 teams started off the season playing eachother and here they are playing the last lame of the season

Hopefully it's not too lame.

They may also play each other in the second game of next season.  DePauw is the next host in the rotation of the Tip-Off classic.  As host, they'll play the fourth invited team (I've never seen a team repeat, but I don't know that is a given), and WashU and Illinois Wesleyan will play each other.  Then there's a championship game and third place game the next day.

The 20'9" three-point line for the men got approved for '08-'09. Get ready for some ugly basketball courts...

Any thoughts from the women's side?

Just saw Anthony Ewing left Brandeis.  The team really took off once he came on board, any thoughts on how they will fare now?

Caroline Bernal-Silva, the 2 time Morris County Tourament MVP, has decided to attend The University of Rochester.

I think for her career she around 15 ppg and 8 rpg. Can't find her stats as a senior. She's 5'10" and could potential stay within at her h.s. position as a power forward at the d3 level. Heard she's strong as an ox.

They missed one of the best unofficial slogans - Chicago's "Where fun comes to die".

The shirts are usually sold in the spring.  Info about them is at:

Well, read a nice little article yesterday about both the men's and women's Maroon's teams.

Any thoughts on the coming season, I know Wash U is regrouping, will Emory, CMU or Case be improved? What about MYU, Rochester and Brandeis?
