MBB: Skyline Conference

[CityD3]

Despite their win against Scranton, I think St Joes LI are both behind sage and mt st vincent.

Has anyone paid attention to OldWestbury? They are 5-0 in the Skyline conf. 10-2 overall... They beat both Farmingdale & Purchase and are about to play a Division 1 opponent Cornell. They are now the top team and the team to beat in the Skyline conference. Anyone intersted in that conference should start paying attention.

[Pat Coleman]

Welcome to the board -- it always helps to have someone here to talk about a team and put them on people's radar.

I composed an original scouting report and have watched a great deal of film on 7 footer AJ Matthews.

My site is dedicated to scouting Division III talents and I'd like some feedback. Please let me know what you think.

Any Purchase fans out there?  What are your thoughts about the WPI match-up?  Your height scares the heck out of us.

Here is an interesting look at how individuals impact a team's performance.  The following analysis is not based on individual stats, but compares team performance with individual players in and out of the lineup.  This is an objective analysis using actual data from every game played by Skyline Conference teams this season.  Based on this comprehensive analysis, the following players are making the most positive impact on their respective team:

Farmingdale State: AJ MATTHEWS on the floor correlates to improving Farmingdale State scoring rate by 6.7ppg and decreasing opponents scoring rate by 6.7ppg - a net gain of 13.4ppg compared to when MATTHEWS is out of the lineup.

Mount St. Mary: JOE STABACH court presence correlates to improving Mount St. Mary scoring rate by 15.1ppg and decreasing opponents scoring rate by 1.4ppg - a net gain of 16.5ppg compared to when STABACH is off the court.   DONTE HOWELL (11.2ppg) and RYAN STRAUB (7.7ppg) also make a strong positive impact.

Mount St. Vincent: SHAQUILLE CUNNINGHAM in the lineup correlates to improving Mount St. Vincent scoring rate by 6.6ppg and improving opponents scoring rate by 5.8ppg - a net gain of 0.8ppg compared to when CUNNINGHAM is on the bench. 

NYU-Poly: STEFAN STOYANOVICH in the lineup correlates to increasing NYU-Poly scoring rate by 10.4ppg and decreasing opponents scoring rate by 7.6ppg - a net gain of 18.0ppg compared to when STOYANOVICH is off the floor.   JAMEL GIST (10.1ppg), THOMAS FABIAN (5.9ppg) and MARK ZIENTEK (5.7ppg) also make a strong positive impact.

Sage: MELVIN FORD on the court correlates to decreasing Sage scoring rate by 1.2ppg and decreasing opponents scoring rate by 4.7ppg - a net gain of 3.6ppg compared to when FORD is off the court. 

St. Joseph's (L.I.): EVAN MOHAMMED in the game correlates to improving St. Joseph's (L.I.) scoring rate by 4.4ppg and reducing opponents scoring rate by 7.5ppg - a net gain of 12.0ppg compared to when MOHAMMED is on the bench.   KEITH ANDERSON (11.0ppg) also makes a strong positive impact.

SUNY-Maritime: RON BETHEA on the floor correlates to improving SUNY-Maritime scoring rate by 11.2ppg and reducing opponents scoring rate by 3.0ppg - a net gain of 14.2ppg compared to when BETHEA is out of the lineup.

SUNY-Old Westbury: TY MOORE on the floor correlates to increasing SUNY-Old Westbury scoring rate by 2.3ppg and decreasing opponents scoring rate  by 2.6ppg - a net gain of 4.9ppg compared to when MOORE is out of the lineup.

On the lighter side, focusing on secondary goals (team stats other than the primary objective - outscoring opponents).  Following are players making the most positive impact in these areas:

Coach Charney stepped down last week:

[CityD3]

Gonna throw something out to try to revive an absolute dead board: WIDE open conference this year! Sage still favorite but it seems like they have fallen back closer to the pack. Gonna be an interesting second half. 2nd semester additions/losses could be huge. Looks like old westbury didn't have two of their better players in most recent games. Any other news?
