MBB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

[TheOsprey]

Good luck Ospreys today and this weekend.  Let's keep flying on!

[TheOsprey]

 It was great season for the Ospreys. Regular season and conference tournament Champs. And a trip to the "Sweet Sixteen." Let's take that experience and make it count with another NCAA tournament run next year. I believe we can make it back here again next season.  CNU is an awesome team with alot of experience.

Anyone challenging Stockton next year?

Osprey, who graduates, who returns?

[TheOsprey]

I believe Stockton has one senior. Basically, all should be back for another season. Hopefully, we'll exceed this season's run--  to many variables at this time.

When I asked "Who graduates? Who returns?" I meant the whole league. LOL

The four have a combined record of 44-6 with the Ospreys having the only conf. loss to Rowan in Pomona. That was both squads opening game in NJAC play. The next two weeks will set up the conf. race for the rest of this season.

BIGGEST GAME IN NJAC Tonight!

Rowan host Stockton @ 7:30p this evening.
The Profs have no conference losses and Stockton's only NJAC defeat is by 11 points to Rowan.  The Profs jumped out to a ten point first half lead in Pomona and the Ospreys never took the lead again.

I expect this to be a high scoring contest in the 'Boro.  Maybe after about five plus years the NJAC  schedule makers could put these two rivalry games at the end of the rotation instead of the first game each year.  Lazy scheduling for sure. Good luck to my Ospreys and no injuries on both sides.  It looks like both squads will be playing in the big tournament this year.

D3 MAKES ESPN TOP TEN AS #1

NJCU with an incredible 3ball as the buzzer sounds to hand Rowan its first NJAC loss.

I saw it on live stats last night not realizing how fortunate the Gothic Knights were to even getting a shot off for the win.

Big week for Montclair St as they take on Rowan. They are just ahead of NYU in the regional rankings. They have a better winning %, but NYU's SOS is significantly better. If they lose, NYU may jump them and they could get blocked from NYU for awhile in the Pool C race. NYU plays at Emory and Rochester this weekend, so those will be tough. Montclair will need to win their quarterfinal game and then probably have to win vs Rowan or Stockton in the semis to have a chance to stay ahead of NYU.

Both top seeds fall in their season finale.
Rowan loses at home in OT to Montclair
Stockton defeated at Kean.

 NJAC tournament starts this weekend.
NJCU @ MSU winner to Stockton 2/21
TCNJ @ Kean winner to Rowan 2/21

FINAL at higher seed on Friday 2/25

Wow. What a win does. That sure helped Montclair St. Drew has them as a lock/near lock now.
