thanks for the late tip breum...lol, I knew I was going to have a tougher time this season then last but I think I got it worked out now, the 2 injuries to my front court really hurt, had a Center playing backup PG tonight good thing I won by 36.

Well, the bugs are on a little roll. After going 3-7 during non conference play - losing to the current #1, #4, #5, #6 and #10. We did beat the current #2 and #16. After dropping are first non-conference game, we have now won 8 in a row, raising our rpi to 55. Our SOS is now at 12.

We did make a few changes to our game plan - if you can figure them out, then you can beat us in the NT.

Like the sun rising in the East and Setting in the West, the mighty bugs have risen from the Ashes and staked claim to the Little East. With 2 more wins almost virtually assured, the might men of W Conn State will once again lay their claim to a spot in the big dance. 9 consecutive division championships, about to be 10, 13 of the last 14, about to be 14 out of 15 division crowns.

With a career conference winning % of 84.8% (or 13.5 wins a season) all the Bugs need to do is play a tough OOC schedule, win at least a couple of games, and you know they're going dancing.

Well after a rough season I end up in the west NT with teams like SUNYM, Hartwick,WConnS and thats just the upper half of the bracket, this road to the final four is going to be real rough, hope I can make it out of the first round.

the West is indeed brutal. I don't even like my first-round matchup. Not an easy game in the slate, and at least one potential rematch for me, which i always hate.

OK, so the the CT finals loss made it a little closer than I anticipated, but bugs still squeezed into the NT w/ a shot at doing some damage.

G/l in the NT fellas. Chicago is on a drive for their 7th straight sweet 16 and 9 in the last 10 seasons. W/ our lone NT title about to dissapear off of wronoj's books next year, its time to start aiming for another title to replace that one. Sweet 16s are nice, but its final 4 or bust.

<-----worst 2 seed ever

Just realized I've got the squad that knocked the mighty bugs our of their CT. Any team good enough to beat W Conn St is good enough to beat us. We'll see if we can't limit their 3 pointers.

can't complain about my seed at all - but you could make a case that winning your CT has been given too much emphasis...not quite sure i deserved that high of an overall seed...

Neither did I...

Two seasons in a row that we did not win the CT - that is not good considering how weak the Little East has been since I arrived. You have to love the 4 teams in our bracket to earn a spot to the Sweet 16.

Game 1 - Hartwick vs Neumann

Game 2 - Oberlin vs W CT St

Any of the 4 could easily go on to win the upper half of the bracket. Should be a good couple of games.

Hopefully the bugs can do a better job tonight than we have this season.

well my team made it to the 2nd round only to draw #4 SUNYM and if by some miracle I can beat them then I would have to face the winner of the #23 Hartwick vs #10 Oberlin game. this seems to be a real tough road but glad I'm just here.

What a joke. Has anyone ever seen that happen? Seriously? A #16? I'm in complete shock right now. I knew my team wasn't #1 seed material, but COME ON. That was the worst RPI team to make the NT.

I went +3 on Oberlin and committed 34 fouls, which led to 55 FTA by my opponent. Ironically, I still outrebounded him 39-35.

Not too happy with this loss. GL to everyone.

I lost as a 2 seed. Apparently a lot of upsets last night. Ridiculous...
