I printed that out and posted it on my  fridge, Zip. I am ready to go! 

Watched the UR versus Cal Poly game Saturday, UR was one missed shot from going ahead with a little over a minute left. Great Effort by the DOGs, I am sure we could beat some Big West and WCAC teams. SLO save themselves from being embarrassed. I wonder if any local D1 will schedule UR next year, given how close last Saturday game was. We were not out classed, and it was not a fluke UR was right in it.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on Yesterday at 11:01:05 AMA light weekend overall for the SAA.  Trinity moves to 6-1 with a closer-than-it-needed-to-be home win against HSU; after trailing by 19 at the break, the Cowboys closed to 3 after shutting down the Tigers' three-point shooting before two techs on the HSU bench helped the Tigers escape, 81-73.  Leading scorer Dylan Walker was on crutches and did not play for Trinity.

Millsaps (5-1) surprsingly suffered their first loss of the season at formerly winless University of the Ozarks (1-6), 78-76.  After the Eagles took the lead with 1:18 to play, the Majors had no fewer than three chances to tie the game; the first was blocked, the second (after a steal with 27 seconds left) was missed, and after Ozarks missed the front half of a 1-and-1, Millsaps missed a layup with one second left.  The Majors also missed nearly half (12) of their 28 free throws.

Rhodes (5-2) also suffered its first losses of the season at the WashU tournament, to #7 Chicago (5-1) 84-70 and homestanding #4 WashU (6-0) 94-78.

Centre moved to 5-1 with a 69-66 home win against Spalding (3-2).  The visitors closed to within one with just over a minute to play, but despite forcing two Colonel turnovers and benefiting from a missed one-and-one, Spalding was unable to close the gap.

Southwestern (4-1) matched their win total of the last two seasons combined after a 71-63 win at home over struggling ETBU (2-6) in which the Tigers could not get closer than six in the last ten minutes.

Oglethorpe - who I incorrectly credited with on one win last week - lost 104-96 at home to Greensboro (2-3), moving to 2-4.  Sewanee's season from hell (where they join the equally winless Trinity women) continued with a 80-69 home loss to Berea (3-3), dropping them to 0-6.

Big games coming up the week include Trinity at their nemesis (RV, "#26") St. Thomas (5-1) and Berry at #9 Emory (3-1).

Terrific rundown, Ron!  Thanks.

Agree with all the excitement for '26 season.  One note on Bates, I think QB Sergio Beltran has completed his four years in Lewiston.

Quote from: Ejay on December 01, 2025, 01:35:24 PMMy Junior year we won the ECAC tournament. It was awesome. My senior year, nobody wanted to play in it. It was a frustrating year and we just wanted it over. We made the finals and it was 38 degrees, raining, with 30 MPH winds. The absolute worst game to finish your career on. I was never so happy to be subbed off in the second half. With about 15 minutes to play, coach asked me to go back in. I said, "nah, I'm good. Let one of the younger kids play".

We won the ECACs in 97' my Freshman year.
In hindsight, it was the beginning of the 60 game win streak that saw us win the NCAA in '99.
ECAC Titles are a big deal man and does a lot for team confidence and building.

I think most of us would definitely want to lace them up a few times more if given the opportunity. For the boys playing now and especially this weekend. Enjoy it man.
You will be thinking about these moments for as long as you live.

That was definitely a change because in 93 we had a chance to go but the administration did not want to pay for us to go. That didn't sit well with us or a lot of people especially since tuition, room and board was so high. It definitely does give you confidence.

I will do my part to motivate SJU-you guys have no chance. The D is overrated and the QB throws interceptions. How is that for motivation?

SLU is in for a very long season at this rate.  More horrible body language and horrific offense.  Best player looks like he'd rather be anywhere besides a basketball court. Could have double the rebounds but is standing with his hands down under the rim and allowing players half his size to get the board over him.  Freshmen with almost as many turnovers as the opponent total. 9 for their last 56 from three. They are taking half of the shot clock to get into their offensive sets. 

Has to be good recruiting on the part of Tufts, right?   They don't get to transfer up unless the talent is there.

What a joke schedule for my alma mater!   I guess this fits into the "lets have a good overall record even if we stink in the NESCAC so we can keep our jobs" category.  Embarrassing.
