gobombers15 : Your right on ALMOST everything you said. But we beat Nazareth by 10 in Florida not at home and we were up by 20 the whole game. And 2nd we lost the next day in Florida to Geneseo on a shot with a few sec left in the game, your right BAD loss to a team we should have killed. It would be an UPSET if a 25-2 team losses to a 16-11 team even though they did play a better schedule, not 9 more losses better. It will be a good game though but I am planing on staying in NY over night to watch GMC UPSET NYU on Saturday night. Again enjoy your last game!!!

You would have AT LEAST 8-10 losses if you played Ithaca's schedule. Minimum.

What's that say about your team when you go 25-2, undefeated in your conference and are still only garnering ONE vote in the poll. Also, if GMC does get by Ithaca, the committee is feeding you to NYU in your second round game. GMC better be able to defend all over the floor if they're going to beat IC and the GMC bigs better pack a lunch if they're gonna stop Steele.

EDIT: GMC is now receiving THREE votes for their 25-2 record.

There were four games between PAC teams and Upstate NY teams:

GMC vs Naz (GMC wins, 70-60)
GMC vs Geneseo (Geneseo wins, 68-64)
Alvernia vs Oswego (Oswego wins, 73-56)
Neumann vs Naz (Naz wins, 75-62)

Keep in mind, Alvernia had a 12-4 conference record and Neumann had an 11-5 conference record. I'm sorry, but it's obvious that your squad plays in a weak conference.

Disclaimer: Ithaca also lost by 17 at Oswego, but that was in the first few games of the season. If you want to go in and pretend like you're playing the same Ithaca team from the first month of the season, by all means, PLEASE DO. But you aren't. Just a fact.

All-Conference selectons are out.

POY: Ava Thomas (Utica)

Coach of the Year: Deb Buff (RIT)

FIRST TEAM

Erika Steele (Ithaca)

Ava Thomas (Utica)
Lindsay Wilson (Hartwick)

SECOND TEAM

Marcia Coakley (Elmira)

I have to say I agree with most of this. I think Sue Kelly warrants a little more consideration for Second Team, but I can live.

gobombers15 : But you forgot to put in there that we beat Neumann and Alvernia both by 29 points. I am TIRED of hearing about GMC weak schedule. Lets let their play this weekend do the talking. Do I think its going to be an EASY win against Ithica? No. But I DO know they are going to win. Just keep thinking are schedule is weak and we stink. We like it that way. The beer goes down easy after the game when we sit around saying WOW we STINK how are we 25-2, make that 26-2 after friday night.

This poster is too offended not to be close to the program. It is not a slam dunk like the moron Assistant SID, Players, and Asst Football Coach that posted on the football boards this season but I think there is an outside chance that TCHoops could be connected to the Gwynned-Mercy program. I have a guess as to who he is too. Since I am not sure, I won't say but if you are who I suspect you are, I would call Ryan Fullen at Cortland for a cautionary tale.

What makes you think you are so much better than IthAca? I haven't even seen IC play this year but I know Dan Raymond is a hell of a coach. His club will be ready.

Great, and Neumann lost by 13 to Naz. That's like the equivalent of a 30-point loss to the top four or five teams in the E8.

For instance, say, Cortland, St. Lawrence, Oswego, Rochester, and Cornell. And make four of those five games be road games.

Jose, you have a message.

JoseQviper : The way I am connected to GMC is my daughter plays on the team so I dought you know me. And I never said I thought we were way better then Ithica, I said it will be a tough game but I believe we will win. We will just have to wait till Friday night to find out.

At the very least, it occurs to the Chairman that he has seen TC Hoops at a wedding before harassing the nice man making balloon animals:

Where were ya for the last two hours, TC? Running a practice?

I don't know why you think Ithaca beating GMC is so far-fetched. Nobody is saying GMC is a bad team. However, Ithaca has played very good competition and played that very good competition to tight games pretty regularly. When you add the fact that Ithaca has improved all year, you really can't compare the way they're playing now to the team that lost those close games back in December.

This has all the makings for what some (not me) would call an upset. For one, Erika Steele has turned into a monster down low. Secondly, Ithaca shoots the 3 very well. Finally, they have a lot of experience in the backcourt with seniors Erin Sanvidge and Sue Kelly (who will score her 1,000th career point early in the game on Friday night). All the makings...
