Glad to see those TBA bastards aren't coming back for more.

major key to the game: the team who scores more points will win this game...

When do they announce tip-off times?

anyone got a link for a central con. state board or know anything about the team? I think their biggest star ever was Keith Closs who played for the Clippers for a while.

one guy taller than 6 7.

three guys bigger than 6 4...

Yes, just one guy over 6'7'', and he plays about 2 minutes per game. Their leading rebounder is 6'4'' (although he's averaging 10.9 a game, must be a wide body, a leaper, or play with great tenacity . . . either that or he plays in the NEC where he's PF-sized).

Looks like they don't go more than about 6 or at most 7 deep. Their starters all log a lot of minutes and score probably 85% of their points. We'll wear them down if we don't completely overwhelm them talent wise (which we obviously should).

Three senior starters though, they'll play inspired.

Record 22-11 - won 17 of last 18. CBS Notes & Quotes.

3 big scorers. Guard Blackwood (17.3 PPG) 6-0, Mojica (16.7 PPG) 6-3, Forward Nwadike (14.8 PPG) 6-4. Won the Northeast Conference by putting a dagger through Sacred Heart. Preview of that game.

Went to 5-10 on the season before reeling of 12 straight wins (to 17-10). After a loss to Fairleigh Dickinson won their last 5 games to finish 22-11.

From the game thread...

* On a brighter note, they play a lot of guards. Outside of oden, everyone else that gets significant minutes is 6'1 - 6'5.

I thought Hunter was taller than 6'5".
