thefullcourtpress - Plug in your laptop, order yourself a pizza, grab a few cold ones and get settled in. It's Christmas as far as MAAC hoops is concerned -- biggest day of the year, with the national spotlight on the conference, and the top two teams ready to square off. ... What's happenin Beagle?

8:22	[Comment From Beagle] Hello

8:22	Beagle - is KH warming up?

8:23

thefullcourtpress - Good to have you aboard; hope you had a better day than most of the despondent Rider fans who left here last night. .... Hasbrouck will start, but he's not on the court now cuz none of the Siena players are. ... He didn't do much today in the shootaround and was icing his leg, but he will play.

8:24	Beagle - I am fine Rider had a good year they are young and will be better next year

8:24	thefullcourtpress - That's true, and for what it's worth, I think they'll get a CBI or CollegeInsider bid. Does that mean anything to you as a fan?

8:26	Beagle - not as far as a tourney there is only one that matters but I will watch and root for them. To me those tourneys are not post season but a end of the year tourney there is only one post season the NCAA

8:27	thefullcourtpress - Fair enough. ... I don't think any fans are really into any of that, but it is good for the program to be able to say it goes to the postseason on a regular basis, even if 128 other teams will be in the postseason too.

8:27	Beagle - I really nailed it on the bracket huh?

8:28	thefullcourtpress - At least you won't finish dead last. Obviously, you fell into the classic trap of picking with your heart instead of your brain, but why not do that when there's no money at stake?

8:28	Beagle - Anybody can pick the favorites but what fun is that

8:29	Beagle - my rider pick was just one 35 foot bank shot from having a chance:-)

8:30	thefullcourtpress - I am pretty impresesd that Fred could end up with a perfect bracket. It's not the same thing as picking an entire NCAA region perfectly, but he picked the right upsets. ... And it's true a lot of Rider fans would have done better if Ty Lewis' prayer wasn't answered.

8:30	[Comment From riderfan1] absolute heart breaker last night huh ben

8:31	thefullcourtpress - What's happenin Riderfan? ... Indeed, the Broncs left on a sour note. ... I hate to say this on a blog full of people obsessed with basketball for fear of convincing people to stop following the Blog, but it's only a basketball game. Just keep that in mind!

8:31	Beagle - I am watching Cof C vs Chatt it is a good game. Chatt came out of the half with a 20-0 run and now Cof C is on a 14-0 run to close it to 6 with the ball

8:31	thefullcourtpress - Good stuff Beagle. ... This is a great week for college hoops.
