Even before the game started it was going to be an uphill battle for Brown at Levien Gymnasium. Leading scorer and the team heartbeat Sean McGonagill was unable to play due to injury and the Bears have no way to replace him. Overmatched Brown tried to pack it in against Mark Cisco, play slowly and [...]

I’d prefer to do a little more in depth investigation of each of these schedules, but the four MAAC contenders definitely have different levels of difficulty to climb over the final few weeks of the season. It obviously starts tonight with Iona at Loyola (MD). The Gaels are a slight favorite, somewhere between two points [...]

The Stony Brook Seawolves took home an 80-68 win last night. The victory brings Steve Pikiell’s club even closer to an America East regular season title. There are just three games remaining in the conference schedule and at 12-1 SBU looks to be in a real solid position. Of course there’s one caveat, the Seawolves [...]

Harvard at Penn is a big game. A huge game by Ivy League standards, but here’s the fact of the matter. Even if the Quakers win, the Ivy League will still be the Crimsons’ to lose. In order to figure out what might happen I simulated 10,000 seasons with the current results and standings. Then [...]

With NEC rivalry week kicking into high gear there are a number of teams moving in different directions. LIU Brooklyn got a key win last night over St. Francis (NY) and it was pretty typical for the Blackbirds. They played decent enough defense that their excellent offense was able to control the game. But there [...]

The road to the NEC title still goes through Brooklyn, even if LIU and St. Francis (NY) played at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. The Blackbirds took home an 86-77 win too maintain control of first place in the conference at 12-1. “We knew coming in that St. Francis coming in had won nine [...]

Currently Cincinnati and St. John’s are playing at MSG, but I’m here and in about two hours from now the Blackbirds and the Terriers will play in a key NEC fight. In the meantime you should read this roundup of the NEC leaders and watch Monmouth vs. Fairleigh Dickinson on ESPN3.

The Atlantic 10 has turned into one fun league this season. The topsy-turvy standings are starting to come back to what observers expected when the season began, but one thing has certainly changed, St. Louis is no longer a decisive favorite. The Billikens are tied with Temple, La Salle, Xavier and Massachusetts with six wins [...]

Drew Cannon has cracked the Bubble Watch nut! By combining the powers of RPI and Ken Pomeroy he got a very simple formula that does a darn good job of projecting which teams are going to make the NCAA tournament. Around here though I leave that to the professionals. Instead, I like to figure which [...]

NEC rivalry week is here and the biggest set of games is right here in New York City. LIU Brooklyn and St. Francis (NY) will play two times in order to determine who will be in first place in the NEC at the end of the week. Monday during the day Nelson Castillo, who I’d [...]
