MBB: State University of New York Athletic Conference

Cards--I have no comeback--I got to take whatever you dish out--LOL

Scooterman,

According to D3Hoops projections, the last 4 Pool C bids went to Occidental, Buena Vista, Cal Lutheran, and Middlebury. Brockport and St. Lawrence were both left out. These are only their projections and they could be wrong about a couple of teams, but they correctly picked all of the Women's team except 1. That Geneseo loss hurt , but the semi-final loss to Oswego was the kiss of death. I truely am sorry, because the Golden Eagles could have done some damage. Tell your guys to put it behind them and kick some butt in the ECAC's.

Bids will be announced at noon today. Tune in to Hoopsville as they will have it.

"...I think you partied too much after Saturday's win. ..."

I was in a hotel room writing a paper for my MBA degree and listening to the SUNYAC hockey game.
Then I was the designated driver

I would love to see an ECAC final with Brockport and Oswego going at it.
The spolier (Oswego) vs the spoilee (BPort). 

Goes to 6 overtimes and it has to be decided with a two on two game  between
Nick and Jabbi  vs Sherrod and (pick someone).   The over under would have to be
180 points.  No defense up and down.  raining 3 pointers.     Water jugs flying.
Blizzard blowing outside the arena

I ran the numbers,
IMHO Brockport, SLU & Oswego were bubble teams. 

The Oswego loss to Fredonia just killed their chances, and Brockport really needed the second win in the SUNYAC tournament to offset that three game losing streak at mid-season, and the regular season ending loss to Geneseo.  SLU had some tough losses early (e.g. Potsdam at Home) and didn't take care of business on the road at Union.  Then losing in the first round at home to Clarkson was the kiss of death.


All these teams needed to be at 4 or 5 losses in region to have had a shot.

[Cards7580]

no Brockport     no Chapman    no Stevens

Go  Middlebury 

[Dyce]

Yikes, what a difference a round makes: Clarkson might get their shot at Plattsburgh, but they're looking at a 650-mile detour through Wilkes-Barre (plus a little game of basketball) rather than an 88-mile jaunt across the Adirondacks if it's going to happen.

[Cards7580]

I'm sure they are not complaining.   They could where Brockport or St Lawrence or St John Fisher is right now.

[scooterman]

Good luck to the Burg--Represent us well!!! I know the Eagles are disappointed but they controlled their destiny and didnt produce!!Bport has never won the ECAC's before so this would be a great time to do it--I hope they dont fall into that too disappointed to produce category that happens to many NCAA bubble teams. Anyway good luck and bring home a National Championship to the SUNY's.

It would be Sherod Harris and Brandon Williams in that two on two battle--Sounds like fun--My money is on Sherod and Brandon--Go Eagles!!!

[Dyce]

I'm sure they are not complaining.   They could where Brockport or St Lawrence or St John Fisher is right now.

Most certainly agreed.  I'm looking forward to Saturday at Memorial in any case, and all's the more fun if the Knights make it through.

come down behind the Plattsburgh bench and meet Magicman and myself.

FREDONIA, N.Y. -  The nationally ranked Plattsburgh State men's basketball team took home the top awards for best coach and player of the year handed out by the State University of New York Athletic Conference on Monday.  Tom Curle and Anthony Williams were named the coach and player of the year both for the second straight season, and three Cardinals were All-SUNYAC selections.

Curle led Plattsburgh to its third-straight SUNYAC championship, completing a perfect 16-0 conference record for the program's first regular-season title under his five-year helm.  The Cardinals (26-2) lead the nation in victories heading into the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Williams (Morgan State University), a senior guard out of Paul Robeson High School in Brooklyn, averages 24.2 points per game to lead the SUNYAC's next-best mark by 7.0 ppg.  The 2008 SUNYAC Tournament MVP set school records for points in a season (677) and career (1,684).  He is a Jostens Trophy finalist in recognition as the best player in Division III.

Senior forward Travis Gorham (Bridgeport, Conn./Bridgeport Central HS/Post University) joined Williams on the first team, earning all-conference honors for the second time after being on the first team a year ago.  Gorham averaged 12.3 points and a conference-leading 11.0 rebounds while shooting 55.9 percent from the field.  He is a three-time SUNYAC All-Tournament choice, including MVP accolades as a junior.

A senior forward from Saratoga Springs High (Hudson Valley CC), Khylan Hunt was an all-SUNYAC second team choice after scoring 10.9 points and grabbing a career-high 7.8 rebounds per contest.

All-SUNYAC First Team:  Travis Gorham, Plattsburgh; Sherod Harris, Brockport; Scott Morton, Geneseo; Anthony Williams, Plattsburgh; Brandon Williams, Brockport.

COACH OF THE YEAR--Tom Curle, Plattsburgh.

If by some miracle the smoke & mirrors Clarkson Golden Knights do make it past Kings @ Wilkes Barre I'll be putting the miles on my jalopy and driving to the furtherest part of the state too.  Let's face it either team King's or the Knights are the "sacrificial lamb" after playing a game on Thurs and driving the gazillion millions of miles to play another game on Sat against one of the top ten teams in the nation!!  All the better for Platts as they'll be relatively fresh for the next round....

Glad to hear that. I'll be rooting for Clarkson in hopes that you will have to make that long trip.

Just in case anyone doesn't know. The Plattsburgh State game against the winner of the Kings College-Clarkson game starts at 7:00 Saturday evening.
