Ursinus 22-1 In-Region #72 OWP
Rochester 19-5 In-Region #14 OWP

That looks like an easy decision to me.  However, I think everyone would agree that UR is better than a 5 loss in-region team.  At the same time, Ursinus is on a roll, Nick Shattuck is a beast to deal with.  Perhaps UR's "those-who-are-heard-to-pronounce" will be able to slow him down.

That would be a great matchup to watch, but UR better not overlook Coast Guard.  Anyone know f the Ursnus students wll be on campus?

Congrats to Wash U. for bringing a sectional to the STL.

Congrats to CMU for winning the ECAC South tourney.  Ryan Einwag was named most outstanding player for the tourney.

UAA has 6 teams with at least 16 wins (NYU 16), 5 with at least 18 wins (Chicago 18, CMU 19), and 3 teams with at least 21 wins, so far (WashU 21, Brandeis and Rochester 22).

I think he was talking about the d3hoops rankings.  They dont mean a thing when it comes to NCAA rankings.

Never have.

Never have.

My point exactly!

UAA showing who the boss is with Wash U., Brandeis and Rochester moving onto the Sweet 16.  The most impressive has to be Washington U. as they knocked off Wooster and host Augustana.  Obviously being at home isn't a guarantee, but Brandeis and Rochester hosted pods and got by Lasell and Bowdoin, and Middlebury and Penn St.-Behrend, respectively.

The UAA went 2-0 vs. the NESCAC.

I dont know what others think, but I think Rochester matches up really well against CGA.  CGA's strength is their two big men, Craig Johnson and Jeff Prebeck, but you would expect them to have trouble against Rochester's big men who are the two best defensive big men in the UAA (in my opinion).  The UR big men are tall and physical and should limit CGA's second chance opportunities.  Rochester has had some off games, though, so anything can happen.

Foul Shooting woes will be U of R downfall.

Amherst -8.5 Vs. Richard Stockton at Plattsburgh
Brandeis -13 @ Plattsburgh

Hugenerd,
Where did your big calculator go? I loved that thing.

[ILive4This]

Walzy, bringing your lines over to the UAA now? pretty interesting stuff, I am not sure how familiar you are with our teams or the opponents. I would like to think Brandeis could get away from this game that easy, but I think a team that has two losses, none in region, and will be playing on their home floor, may be a bit harder to defeat. I would have expected a more conservative line, perhaps of 3 or 4, especially in the 3rd round of the tournament. Also being the NESCAC specialist, I would have figured a larger spread for the amherst game.

As a side note, I am not looking for the nicest places to sleep/eat in plattsburgh, just the cheapest, perhaps a place i can split with 3 other people and get out paying only 10-20 bucks....any one have any insight for me, I am a cheap college student looking to see the games on a meager budget.

Its a long story, but the calculator is back up, and better than ever.
