My buddy coaches at a d3 and I went to their game vs montclair and boy oh boy do I have a new found appreciation for d3 hoops.

the game was played at 1,000mph start to finish. Montclair is quick, tough kids who full court press the entire game and are just pure chaos agents.

if you ever have a chance to catch a game, it’s like $5 and a fun watch.

One of the best hoops atmospheres I've ever experienced was the 2003 (or thereabouts) NJAC final, Montclair State at Ramapo. Standing room only, absolutely raucous crowd, split about evenly. I don't even remember who won -- I think it was the home team Roadrunners -- but it was top-ten atmosphere for sure. I had no rooting interest; just general interest, and I'm so glad I went.

D3 has never been better for hoops...

With the transfer portal more and more really good HS players are starting there and trying to work their way up.

Funny too about Morales I was down at the practice facility a bunch two years ago and Morales was ALWAYS in there getting work. Remember seeing him doing two balls drills solo just handing with one hand and firing one handed passes into the wall for like 20 minutes straight. Then used the shooting gun for at least an hour. I remember being so impressed that a walk on would put in THAT much extra work when he didn't have a real shot here. Really happy for him that all the hard work has paid off.

Why are there two separate threads on this, with the later one started by a "staff member"?

Planning on going to the game Wednesday when they play at TCNJ.
Tcnj almost picked them off last month. Super tight game @ msu. Was a good one, I went.

TCNJ’s pg was dylan harpers PG at bosco. Hes really good. And their big man was on those stud manasquan teams.

Great piece by carino! Im telling you if you have a chance go watch them play. If youre in central jersey they are at TCNJ tomorrow night. TCNJ really gave them a scare back in January
