MBB: Skyline Conference

[bmull]

SUNY Purchase - roster, please.

Anyone on this site know where coach Nigro from Polytech is??

[CityD3]

Coach Nigro is at BMCC i believe. I also noticed former poly standout arjun ohri is on Division I NJIT's roster this year.

Farmingdale and Purchase - C'mon, rosters, please.

I think Coach Barnes and Sage fans have to feel good, despite 82-62 loss to RPI.
Hundreds of folks in the stands, and a team with 15 frosh and 2 juniors handled themselves well. 6-1 frosh Alex King from Saratoga had 13, 6-0 frosh Mervin Springer from  Copiague, LI, had 11. A good start.

It's been quiet in here to start the season...where are the Bard fellas? They usually keep it alive in here.

Well thus far, in this YOUNG season the Skyline is looking good. A year removed from sending 2 teams to the NCAA's and they are 4 and 1 vs. the CUNYAC.

Lehman            71   Mount St. Vincent    76   Final   
Medgar Evers    83   Polytechnic            89   Final         
York (N.Y.)    78   SUNY-Old Westbury    85   Final         
NyCity Tech    56   SUNY-Maritime            78   Final         
Yeshiva            60   CCNY                         61


I saw the Evers Poly game, a battle of the weaker teams in their respective conferences last yr. and Poly cam out on top, Medgar also went on to beat someone so it was a nice win for Poly to start the year. Congrats to Washington on his first NCAA win, that's got to be exciting for him.

CCNY knocking off Yeshiva was a surprise to me, seems like Coach Stampfel has some new talent in there, would love to hear about them if anyone has info.

Nice wins for Maritime and Westbury,although i think they would be favored in those games if lines were set.

Mt. Saint Vincent beating defending ECAC champs, although a different version of Lehman, seems like a nice win as well for a middle of the road Skyline team from last year.

Seems to me that there are a lot of conference games being played way early in the skyline this year. Any idea why?

I saw St. Joe's beat CCNY, 74-65, on Saturday. The Eagles' best player is Jermaine Russell, a 6-7 senior transfer from D2 Lincoln. He is a good athlete who can run the floor, block shots, shot from outside and post up. He'll be tough to deal with in the Skyline. However, SJC lost Acree and Walsh and appear to be a little weaker than last year, although Farmingdale also seems to have slipped a bit.

CCNY is clearly better than last year. They've got about 10 new faces, most of whom are freshmen. Kenny Rubenstein and Jordan Jackson, two freshmen guards, both looked pretty good. There two big men, Tom Hart and Matas Rascius, who are both freshmen, are decent and have potential.

Why aren't Jermain Russel and Mike Campell on St Joe's and Farmingdale's rosters anymore? Any info?

Bkyln:

Look at the CUNYAC message board.

Bkyln:

Gordon: The CUNYAC board has the lowdown on Campbell, but not Russell. I just checked St. Joe's site and Russell is no longer on the roster. So here goes: Does anyone know why he's off the team?
Tough breaks for both teams. These two guys may have been the two best players in the conference.

Rhodes:

Right.  That was my reference.  To quote GI Joe, I figured knowing (that) was half the battle.

It looks like Mount St Vincent beat NYU 64-63 on a bucket form Shaq Cunningham with 5 seconds left. That's a great road win for Coach Nigro, MSV, and the Skyline Conference. Congrats.

[Rhodes Scholar]

I went to the MSV @ NYU game yesterday. It was competitive from the opening tip. Very good outings by Cunningham and Johnson for MSV, while Jensen and Meziab played well for NYU. Glavan did not dress for NYU, which certainly didn't help.

Big win for MSV (probably the first time they've ever beaten NYU). The Dolphins are very young, but have some decent talent.

[Danny Weismuller]

Big win for MSV, congrats to Coach Nigro and Coach Adams... that program is heading in the right direction and I think they have a new facility. Looks like their might be a new powerhouse growing in the Skyline.

Dimaggio with 35 points !? WOW 

MSV is taking on Old Westbury tonight, should be a great test to see what these guys really got.
