Bloomfield forward Nick Davidson
Another key matchup for tonight’s NCAA Division II East Region Final is at the forward spot: It’s two seniors, one from New Jersey, another from Ohio, and they both wear number 24.
Bloomfield College’s Nick Davidson scored 33 points in the semi-final 109-91 win over Merrimack.
Le Moyne senior forward Robert Jones, III scored 14 points, including 10-for-10 from the free throw line, in his team’s 67-63 victory of The College of St. Rose. He also grabbed six rebounds and had one block.
Le Moyne versus Bloomfield will tip-off tonight at 7 pm (Ted Grant Court).

Le Moyne’s Tyquan Rolon (senior guard)
At some point tomorrow Le Moyne’s Tyquan Rolon and Bloomfield’s Keith Washington will be matched up against each other. These two left-handed, well really ambidextrous guards, will lead their respective teams in the NCAA Division II East Regional Final on Tuesday. Washington had 31 (including 7 three-pointers) to help his team defeat Merrimack College on Sunday. Rolon had 12 points and four assists in Le Moyne’s win against The College of St. Rose.
In team sports, mano-o-mano is not the name of the game, but this should be fun to watch.

Fans of St. Thomas Aquinas College in town to cheer on their team. They came from Brooklyn. We enjoyed their rabid fan base and their custom t-shirts.

Due to inclement weather, the NCAA Div. II Regional Final game between St. Thomas Aquinas College and College of St. Rose was moved to Wednesday at 2 pm.
St. Rose’s Tyler Sayre
The NCAA Div. II East Regional held at Lemoyne for the past few days has featured some spectacular basketball games. We are not sure if it was underappreciated, but we will say that more promotion was needed. It was a great venue for kids, families, fans and coaches. The good news is this: you still have a chance to check it out.
Tonight St. Thomas Aquinas College will do battle with College of St. Rose to determine the championship of the East Region. One key match up will be between Justin Reyes and Tyler Sayre. At some point these two MVP’s for their respective clubs will meet either in the paint or on the wing.
