Hey nescac1, what is your view regarding NESCAC football teams shortly allowed to participate in NCAA post-season tournament?

Not so fast ... my view is that Williams should not have voted (if they did) for post-season football.The Ephs already end with a meaningful rivalry game, the season is of sufficient duration, the academic schedule in November is intense, vast differences exist in NESCAC regarding football admissions, emerging potential financial pressures, etc. In short, often "less is more." Perhaps the risk of being the odd person out (relative to Ivy League, others) outweighed the merit of defending a proven balance. Lots of possible unforeseen consequences ... stay tuned to assess the true value.   

Oops, Pat, my typo. Meant to sign my congratulations to you jumpshot. Good luck the rest of the way!

Congratulations to Pat Coleman for an instant classic win today by his Catholic University Cardinals
Best regards, Jumpsuit

Tufts had leads as large as 17 points, and even 6 points with a minute twenty remaining at home in front of a tough crowd of Jumbo fans. Toad did provide a knowledgeable warning ....Sweet win for Redlands, really bitter for Tufts.

jumbomumbo, what happened 0 for 3 ? Wesleyan game, Tufts beatdown, not four best coaches ....

My late input to a recent discussion ... this year's UAA teams of Emory, Chicago, Washington University, NYU would dominate NESCAC semi-finalists of Wesleyan, Tufts, Trinity, and Hamilton in my opinion having seen all of them. This year's UAA leaders simply play faster, shoot better, defend more intensely, have highly skilled bigs, greater depth, maturity, balanced offense, etc. Each season varies, of course.

Disappointing watching a Williams team lacking fundamentals... poor passing and ball-handling, weak guarding post-ups in the lane, sticky ball movement, repetitive offense, too many give-and-go hoops by opponents, lack of consistent rebounding, in short, simply not Ephs' year. Appear a bit burned out now. Will peacefully await the rebuilding now underway .... Good luck to the rest of NESCAC teams the rest of the way.

Blake Schultz also awarded the Jostens Trophy. Excellent competitor.

EPHS down by 14 with 10 minutes remaining hold Bowdoin scoreless for the next 8 minutes, defeating the Polar Bears 66-63. Gritty win by a well-coached Williams team ....

An epic character win by Ephs over Trinity, made more challenging by 16 turnovers. Sammy Cooley's 9 rebounds a key to win. Puzzled by Trinity's taking 39 three-pointers, hitting only 6. Perhaps not the best game plan ... even while getting 20 more shots than Ephs.

Ephs rebuilding starts now looking to the future ....

Williams plays a dismal first half versus a good NYU team, trailing 45-27. Ephs characterized by poor shooting, inconsistent defense (particularly against three pointers), soft interior play, numerous turnovers, casual rebounding. Not much else to say ....

Yeah, 32 late kick to the head of Midd goalie ... and tackle arm tackle by 17 from behind to prevent a Midd breakaway each brought amHerst yellow cards.

EPHs handle New Paltz 74-59 on the road, despite 20 turnovers, in part by making 19 of 26 free throws versus only 6 made by New Paltz. Game resembled roller derby at times. Wesleyan comes to Chandler gym Saturday ....
