MBB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

The NJAC is one of the top 5 DIII men's basketball conferences in the country. Simply put, the women's side of the conference is not Ð by a large margin.

In '03-'04 the Lions finished strong by winning their last eight. But they only played road games against Camden, Montclair and Chestnut Hill before losing at Rowan in the playoffs.

In '02-'03 they started 9-4 because the bulk of the games were played outside the NJAC.

I thought I would post a slightly boastful link.  I am bragging for two reasons, one it is NJCU and the other it is D-III against some of the best competition in the country at the Penn Relays.

Here's a link to TCNJ's new Event Center. The facility will seat between 1,200 and 2,500. They'll be able to adjust the seating to the size of the event.

More importantly, Phil, will they be able to host postseason games or will the campus still turn off the power during spring break?

When is that facility going to be completed?

Going by the original plans, which outlined the decade-long $250,000,000 project of TCNJ's physical plant, is like counting on the weatherman for an accurate prediction 2 weeks from now.

From what I understand (and since the architect has been selected and renderings completed), it's at the top of the list in the planning stage Ð with construction due to start in the fall and completion projected at summer of '07.

It's an interesting rendering. Someone might want to pay a little attention to the location of all those windows though. The windows overlook the football field (south), and the basket to the right would leave a shooter facing the west Ð and all those windows and skylights... as well as the setting sun. It would certainly make for interesting afternoon games in the winter!

They should stick some solar panels on the roof and store up enough energy to fuel the place one week out of the year!

Ira, good to see you officially posting on the NJAC board!

I was informed last night that NJCU Assistant Mens Basketball coach Ron Woodward has been asked to step down from his position.

Nice forum update. I guess I'll be the second one to post on the new-look boards.

Ramapo's schedule is up on their website, although not on d3hoops.com yet.

We don't usually post them without tournament pairings. That Phoenix tournament would be a pain in the rear for us to fix later, better to get it all in the first time.

Pat Coleman:

Will there be a topic for independents like Lincoln for the 2005-2006 BBall season or will I have to access the Bumblin B's?

[Pat Coleman]

You can certainly create a topic for independents and see if anyone joins in.
