I am definitely not a sore loser and I give credit where credit is due.

John Jay came out with avengence tonight and played their hearts out. JJ didn't even allow York to get any type of rhythm going in the 2nd half. If York had the balanced scoring and played like they did against Hunter, it would've been a very difficult game for JJ to win. Kased of JJ proved his leadership tonight and went out there and created plays for his team. Plain and simple, JJ wanted this championship more than York, and the way they played tonight they really deserved to win. All of JJ players came out and played with heart and that's exactly why they got the win. I give much credit to the coach and the players of JJ, they played a great game tonight.

On a sad note, I truly believe that York went out with no class. Losing a game is no reason what so ever to create a brawl like they did. Not only did they embarrass themselves, the school and the athletic program, but they also embarrassed CUNYAC. Their is no excuse for the type of behavior that was displayed out there tonight.     

Everyone keeps talking about the 2 oldest people on the team. What about the players like wilson who is I believe is a 21 year old junior, or marcel who is 19 and very dominant in the post. But you know what the point is york is going for a 3peat. All the other teams that yoi guys thought were gonna make it (bc, hunter) didn't. The difference with this years york team and the past 2 years is that york has more depth this year than in the past. So if they play to their full potential, they have a good chance of making it past the first round of the playoffs.

I'm sorry BBallGirl. Didn't know that he was only 23 (If that is true, which I doubt). I guess it is cool to be starting your collegiate careers at the age most end their own. It's cool that Phipps is only 5 years older than the legit freshman in the CUNY conference.
  Also it is intriguing that Salamanaca is over 25 as well.
  Guess Coach St. John likes to take these old dudes onto his team to give them a sense of maturity and veteran leadership. That must be it.

No wonder your karma is a -3. You are full of it. I don't know where you come from, but when I'm from, most kids don't get the opportunity to go to college right out of high school that's if they get to even go at all. Life happens (which is something that you probably don't have) and things don't always work out as planned. So phipps may be 23(which he really is) and salamanca over 25, but they are 2 of the best players in cuny.

By the way don't you think that's its a little strange that the older dudes (as you say) are the ones that are going to be playing for a championship, that just means that the younger guys just can't keep up. St. John is one hell of a coach, and if I was him I'd pick the old guys any day, why wouldn't you, they've given him 2 straight championships and maybe even a 3rd.

York will crush John Jay and then get annihilated in the NCAA tournament.  What a waste.

I am just curious to know why you think it's a waste for york to go to the ncaa.

I know that you are a hunter fan and thought that hunter was going to win the CUNYAC and go to the ncaa and advance past the first round but the fact of the matter is that they lost to york. If they couldn't beat york when it mattered in the semis with a highly praised d1 transfer, than what really makes you think they would've done better than york is gonna do.

All 5 of yorks starting players were in double figures, including a double double from 2 of them. Now be real with yourselves people and give credit where credit is due and admit that of york has a game like they did last night they have really good chance of making it past the first round.

By  the way Phipps is a 23 year old freshmen not 25.

PS i admit it i was one of those who thought marlon smith who make that much of a difference. He did all he could but i guess it wasnt enough. I am pretty surprised was it closer than a 12 point game or did york control it throughout?

It came as close as 5 in the 2nd half but York really controlled for most of the game.

Well to all of you that thought that hunter was gonna pull off the win, I got some bad news, THEY LOST BY 12. Marlon smith had 40 points but no one else had a good game. On the other hand york had a really good game with balanced scoring. Chis Roberts had a good game with 24 points. York won when it mattered the most, the playoffs. York is the type of team that rarely loses to an opponent twice in one season hence the win against bc and now hunter. For those of you that thought that hunter was going to win the championship just because of marlon smith just to let you know he can't do it by himself.

York vs. Lehman
Baruch vs. Hunter
Brooklyn vs. City Tech
CSI vs. John Jay

Don't be surprised if BC gets the #1 seed and faces Lehman. If you noticed CUNY took down their original post on their website about seeding.

My guess is they realized what I mentioned in the previous post about the tiebreaker which states about losses to a higher ranked team. Against CSI and Hunter .. BC is 3-0 where York is 1-2.

I don't know if having the #1 seed is so advantageous....
Your road to the finals as a 2 seed is City then CSI (hypothetically)
but as a 1 seed its Lehman, Baruch/Hunter....

It's anyones tourney right now.....
I wouldnt be surprised if any of the top 5 seeds take the crown.

I believe that york is still the #1 seed. Like u mentioned they look at the head to head which york has the upper hand by 5 points. If you go back to when your brother was a freshmen at csi u will find that there was a tie for the south division, they split the series then 2 but because csi beat york by more points they got the south division title and the #2 seed. But we will eventually see the seedings this week when they are posted, but I'll put my money that york will be #1.

Barring a catastrophe, both Brooklyn and York will finish at 10-3, making them co-division champs. However, the identical records will cause a tiebreaker scenario, as they split their head to head matchups, does anyone have an idea as to what the next logical move is? Some say point differential in their two games, while others may say highest seed beat or other scenarios. Does anyone have any solid knowledge of the topic? Could you please enlighten us all and help us to clear the smoke of the vast possibilities of the forthcoming CUNY playoffs.

The way that the tie breaker works is the CUNYAC will look at both York/BC games to determine the #1 seed which is York. This is how it works, when BC came to York the final score was 83-74 which is a nine point difference. When York went to BC the final score was 86-72 which is a 14 point difference. Because York beat BC by more points than BC beat York that becomes the tie breaker. So to answer your question yes it does work on a point differential system.

York now clinches the South division and also a #1 seed in the playoffs, which means nothing because teams come out to play and win during playoffs. Indicator, 2 years ago York was the underdog and the #3 seed vs. Baruch and they were the eventual champs. With the great coaching of Ron St. Jonh York has a really good chance of a 3peat.

LETS GO YORK!

bballgirl86,

I guess Hunter deserves no credit in making him have a bad game. I understand that he was in foul trouble, but he did not look comfortable in the offense even before he got into foul trouble. Some shots were 40 feet in the air. Now understand with Wilson out of the game, York began to force the post play to Pips and he played like a beast. If Wilson was in the game and playing well, maybe York doesn't go down into the post as much. You can just say, Wilson had a bad game and thats why they lost.

I think that they still would go down in the post b/c looking back at the bc game all three big men for york were in double digits in scoring but that still didnt stop Wilson from going lights out. Ill give it to hunter although I was not there the whole game from what I saw they were playing tight defense on wilson. Wilson only scored 7 points. If he had a solid game along with the other guys on the team hunter didnt stand a chance. I still believe that york is still a contender for the championship. Look at last years team some people starting counting them out cause of the loses late in the season to JJ and CSI but they still won. 2  years ago #1 Baruch was favored to win the championship but #3 York came out and played kept the lead and never looked back. That goes to show you that anything can happen especially in CUNY

Well I was wrong. Hunter did beat York but for one and only one reason, Wilson had a really bad game. I guarantee that if Wilson had a game like he did at Brooklyn York would've came out with the win. The #1 seed in the playoffs is still up for grab though but I do believe that with Baruch coming up with the big win the other night it will be a good game when Baruch meets Hunter again on Feb 7th.

I think that York is going to come out with the victory tonight. Wilson is on a roll and with the balanced scoring of Phipps, Roberts, and Esonwune it should be a tough but interesting game. Salamanca is also playing well in the last couple of games, dishing out 11 assists and  only 3 turnovers in the game against Brooklyn.
