Well I don't care about that but I will read

[Happy2bhere]

I do not believe there are 8 D4 SE teams better than Fairfield. Regardless, D4 has a lot of really solid teams.

I agree I've seen 6 of the soc teams & all of the shac teams play & think Fairfield is right there!

[white thunder]

Don't know if its a fair comparison, but Portsmoth Clay beat Manchester by 4 at home and North Adams by 1 at home in overtime. Fairfield beat Manchester by 10 at home and 25 at Manchester and beat North Adams by 23 at North Adams.

[pfloyd]

Portsmouth Notre Dame is 8-3.

... thanks JustPlayBasketball12 ... I had it correct on the big board but apparently looking at all of the numbers for so long did me in LOL ... it's now fixed to 8-3 for Notre Dame...

Wasn't arguing their ranking...just stating I don't believe they are the 8th best D4 team right now.

Gotcha ! ... I was thinking that you thought they are better than the other D4's above them ... my misunderstanding ... I have not seen Fairfield play so I'm only making the comparison with the other's ...

It's a tough call for sure and comparing games is tough.

Clay just beat Manchester by 6....North Adams destroyed Manchester and Fairfield destroyed North Adams...but then North Adams barely beat Portsmouth West and barely beat Valley...but then Valley has played some SOC 2 teams very tight.

All about matchups and mind sets for middle to upper teenage kids.

You do good work. D4 tourney will be tough to predict!

[pfloyd]

... Warren vs Athens game Saturday the 21st - is this part of an ALL DAY hoops day ... girls games & boys games all day or is this the "usual" boys freshmen/JV/Varsity ???

[pfloyd]

... never mind - answered my own question , went the Warren Local Web page - Boys Only on Saturday beginning with the freshmen at 5pm ... looked like the girls are on the road at Minford Saturday ...

[pfloyd]

... going to get my fill of the Warriors this week - heading to the Warrior Dome Tuesday to see Warren vs Parkersburg , then making a return trip Saturday to see Athens @ Warren ... should be some excellent basketball ! ... I need to stock up on Twizzlers !

So where do you see them Ironman, the teams above them for the most part have some good wins. I ask everybody about Fairfield and everybody says the same thing they haven't beat anybody yet. The teams above them are all pretty good teams, just hard to judge a team most people haven't seen and with no standout wins.

The Warrior Dome - pfloyd's home away from home.



Tomorrow nights game should be a dandy ... hopefully Saturday's is too.

Not sure. I can't get a great grasp on who is better between the SOC 1 teams. Gun to my head I'm taking Eastern Pike----Clay/ND/Western/East confuse me...need to see more of their results against one another. South Webster plays different level of teams...hard to compare. Peebles is a bit easier to compare but appear to be improving as well.----Fairfield is the toughest to figure out...but are definitely trending up as a team. Not a doubt in my mind nearly every team mentioned playing any of the others in a best of 3....the vast majority of the matchups go to the 3rd game.

In no way am I arguing Fairfield's ranking....just saying right now there aren't 7 SE teams better than them.

As the season goes things will keep sorting out.

Fairfield Union Vs Bloom Carroll, round 1, is at the end of this week! Big time game for FU!
