Subject: Manhatten may be a little better but....
In reply to: Jasper Forward 's message, "Are we a little bitter" on 22:31:31 03/02/03 Sun

I tend to agree that Manhatten is a better team than Fairfield. Manhatten beat two quality out of conference foes, something Fairfield has yet to do. But that being said, Manhatten like Fairfield has been fading down the stretch. Losses to Iona, Siena and Fairfield have proven Manhatten, if better, is only a little better and is capable of losing on a given night.

Don't count on Manhatten reaching the finals. And if they do, don't count on them winning. Manhatten has yet to prove they are anything but a one and done team come tournament time, and even in the two season where they sweep the stags during the regular season, they managed to get beat by Fairfield in the tournament. Iona, Fairfield, Niagara, Siena and Manhatten in my mind are all capable of winning this thing, with Iona and Siena having shown themselves to be strong tournament teams (Better coaching) and with Manhatten and Fairfield still having something to prove. For the record O'toole is 2-4 in the Maac tournament with his only two wins coming against lowly Manhatten. Manhatten is 0-4 under Gonzalez, Ruland is 9-2 and Lanier 4-0. So in my opinion, it would be wise for the Manhatten and Fairfield fans to keep their mouths shut into they actually win something. O'toole and Gonzalez for whatever reason have been "unlucky" come tournament time.....

Looks like we are in for an exciting MAAC tourney. The Stags always seem to play better when they are in the 'underdog' position anyway. The #2 seed is a great spot for the Stags to be. Let them come out swinging, just like they did at Draddy! I bet those Jaspers are praying that Flores doesn't go stone cold like he did at the beginning of last night's Iona game. Johnson saved the Jaspers this time...but there's a LOT of pressure when you are the #1 seed and you rest your laurels on one player....can you feel the pressure, Jasper Foward? See you in Trenton. Make sure you don't get too comfy in that champion position while your team sits around and eats popcorn all week. There are plenty of hungry teams with some depth ready to hold that trophy nice and high! :)
