[insert quote/quote]

Haven't posted all pre-season, but excited for the start of the season....

All in all, Im excited for the games to begin on Monday. Lets get-em UAA.

No mention of NYU??? I'm interested to hear your comments on them...

Sorry- I meant to respond to a quote earlier posted.. not sure of the right process..

at any rate, the conference assessment had no reference to NYU and I was wondering why...

#5 Rochester loses to Medaille. Last year, Rochester only won this matchup by 2, so I could sort of see this upset coming.

NYU won against Medaille... any comment?

I have to share our experience from this weekend's games. The NYU team flew out of Newark Thursday night, heading to Rochester. It was nearly the same time as the flight that was flying to Buffalo that crashed due to weather conditions. It was the same type of plane, my daughter thinks. And, when I spoke to her Friday, she said the team was watching the news, all talking about how they were in the airport with those people and probably saw them before they boarded that flight. I know they carried that with them all day.

Sometimes we forget that these players are just kids, young adults. I am always worried about travel to Rochester, because it's prop planes. Does this bother anyone else?

OK- Obviously, NYU has had difficulties this year. Since I'm a newcomer, I'll defer to the organization to figure it out and have no doubt they will. But, after nearly a whole season- and some colorful history- I have to ask....

Why do you people hate NYU so much?

Dear Wash U,

You have the worst online statistics of any team I've visited so far. PLEASE- if you can't do it better- DON'T BOTHER DOING IT AT ALL!

There were 10 minutes left and there wasn't an update for (still counting..) 11 minutes!

NYU is overrated. After seeing them play against Brandeis on Saturday, they do not deserve any first place votes. They just don't have what it takes to be up there.

I was at the Brandeis game and I agree that NYU did not play anywhere near their history or potential. I hope Brandeis didn't either- I'd hate to think that was their best. Tonight- well, rebounding was a problem, turnovers were a problem. I have faith that Coach Quinn knows the weaknesses and is moving forward.

Did I hear that Wash U lost a key player due to injury? It seems to me that they are rebounding from the loss fairly well.

Thanks, Deis. I know of a high school in CT which ran that offense- Guilford High School under the coaching of Jim Rooney. They won the state championship for several years running with it. I remember them being referred to as a swarm of bees... as if there were 10 players on the opposing team- that is, if you were the unlucky player with the ball.

QuoteThe officials called this game very tightly, and SUNY-New Paltz must have played an Emmanuel-style game against NYU, from what I can tell of the box score.

As an observer, watching a game that had 58 fouls was excruciating. When you say the officials called it very tightly, should I assume this is more of a norm in UAA basketball? I can't imagine what that does to each of the team's style of play- defense has to back down... Also, when you say an Emmanual style game, what do you mean?

Good luck to all on opening day!

I just read that and it doesn't sound so nice- I meant that I was wrong to assume that D3 ball was weak! Because i just didn't know any better... Anyway, was I wrong!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. My daughter is really loving NYC- she really had no number two pick, so she knew her mind. In defense of Coach Quinn, I have only known her to be caring and considerate- and a smart and successful coach. She is tough and demanding, I agree, but my daughter thrives with tough coaches. We saw a few games last year and I never saw her abusive in any way. At any rate, after some of crazies we've seen (and played for) in AAU, I figure she can play for anyone... I can't wait for the season to start! The few games we saw were of a surprisingly high quality- as a novice in assessing college ball, I assumed D3 to be weak, and I was frankly upset that she insisted on NYU. Now, I can say I'm truly happy she's there. Great school, great coaches, great basketball, great city. She's all set!

Hi everyone- new to the list and new to the UAA. My daughter is a freshman at NYU. NYU was the only school she wanted to attend, and that we were both impressed with the quality of play in the UAA. I'm looking forward to talking with you all and meeting some of you as we begin the new season! Can't wait!
