WBB: Little East

[Pat Coleman]

Because we're having this conversation in two places, thanks to you crossposting everything. I'm not going to carry on the conversation twice.

as far as the poll voters do they get changed every couple years as far as what leagues they come from?  i bet the poll would have less bias if you got your voters from leagues that might not have as many national contenders.. Like if you got the GNAC or the CCC or even theh NAC in their voting..  Also do you have a person from one of the Independent schools?  Seems like Independent schools always kinda get the shaft when it comes to being represented on these National polls at least in terms of voting is concerned

[Pat Coleman]

For the most part we base the voting panel's representation on what leagues have had the most success in the postseason. There is usually one spot per region that will rotate every few years as trends change.

As for independents, no, we don't have enough space to get all the conferences represented in a 25-person panel so the independents don't have a representative either at this time.

USM back in sinc, with a blow out win

[d3bballinboston]

yah but USM played Husson college.. Helen keller school of the blind is better then them.. I wouldnt say they got in sync against probally one of the worst teams in the worst confrence in the country

PAT,

I have a job interview in NYC on the 13th of January, I see that NYU is hosting Brandeis on the 14th and was considering staying overnight to sightsee anyway. I assume it would eay to get to the NYU campus, will D3Hoops be broadcasting that game, if both remain undefeated? Anything I should do? see? at NYU. Thanks

[Pat Coleman]

I don't know if we will, since both student stations likely will be. But we've done it before.

[MacNThrees]

Didn't Husson get a bid to the tournament like 2 seasons ago???  I'm not saying they're good, but I've seen worse.

[d3bballinboston]

you are thinking Maine farmington

[MacNThrees]

Check out the 2004 archives on this site.  Husson gets a bid, before the NAC had an automatic, where the lost to guess who? USM.

[Snowman]

Come you are not trying to make a case that Husson is any good are you? Look I will root us home, but be realistic, USM is OK and will remain #1 in the country simply because we will not lose as the LEC is as weak as they come with USM the exception.

[MacNThrees]

They are absolutely not a good basketball team.  But a win is a win...and I'm just saying there are worse teams out there.

[Snowman]

WHERE IS EVERYONE

[Balder Eagle]

Everyone went to DC to observe Mary Washington win at the buzzer over Catholic and therefore remain undefeated, 19-0

D3hoopsNet, under contract from NCAAsports.com, will be broadcasting the entire Southern Maine sectional. Coverage starts a half-hour before tipoff and includes a preview of all four sectionals, plus in-game "live look-ins" at other sectionals in progress.

Mark Simon on the call.
