Subject: Flores and the officiating
Flores, hands down, best player I've seen in the MAAC for some time. An emotionless assasin. Does he even sweat? If this kid was 6'5" he would be a lottery pick. Anyway, the officiating was horrid for sides. They robbed the fans of an even greater show than they got. I personally don't enjoy watching free throws. Worst call of the night was watching Flores flat on the floor doing the backstroke and not a whistle to be heard. FF's interior defense was awful. Funneling Flores into the paint and relying on the shot blockers was a bid mistake. That kid could rain floaters over the empire state building. Great game though. Far and away the best two teams in the MAAC.

Far and away? -- GuyF, 11:57:40 01/24/03 Fri
This is the MAAC we're talking about, nobody is "far and away" better than anyone. Just citing Iona as an example, we lost two very tight games to you guys and to Manhattan by 5. I don't think you've proven to be "far and away" better than us. Also, teams that are "far and away" better than anyone else don't lose home games to St. Peter's.
I, like everyone else at this point, agree that Manhattan and Fairfield will finish 1-2 (not necessarily in that order). But let's not act as if we should just scrap the rest of the season and the early rounds of the tournament and just put you two in Trenton for the title.

No kidding. FF still has questions to answer. -- soup, 12:03:06 01/24/03 Fri
Let's see how they respond after the loss. SPC isn't a good indicator, but we've all seen FF have a decent start to seasons and proceed to fall on their face.
As far as 1 & 2 seeds go - we all know how well they do at tourney time.

Fair enough. Maybe I got carried away with the "far and away" comment. But after watching last nights game it's tough to argue the fact they are the two most talented. Sunday is an interesting game. Should be interesting to see how FF responds after such an emotional loss.

I agree with Soup re Sunday vs SPC. -- GuyF, 07:29:44 01/25/03 Sat
The 'Cocks play no defense, so the Stags should have their way. It won't be a good indicator.
Of course, the real looming question regarding Fairfield is whether they peaked too soon. Lots of hoops left, so we'll have to wait and see.
As for Manhattan, they've swooned each of the last two years late in the season under Gonzo, because he refuses to let his guards get a breather. I don't know if they'll fold up like a tent again, but it wouldn't shock me if they did.

I disagree with Guy :) -- JoeStag, 09:35:53 01/25/03 Sat
I have only seen St Peters once, but it looks like their defense is improved overall..... they do lack on interior defense because they best frontcourt players are 6-5.
I do agree that Vegas would call this a "possible" let down game. It better not happen.

Nah. -- GuyF, 21:19:29 01/25/03 Sat
Take a look at the MAAC stats and SPC is far and away the worst defensive team in the league. Fairfield gets 90 without batting an eye, if they continue to play offense the way they have in recent games.
