Hey 24/7/365, just so you know EC is at home tonight against WIT and not on the road. So I think they will roll and get back on track tonight for their road trip on Thursday to CSC. They should have a good crowd behind them to get the momentum started back up for the last two games of the season and heading into the playoffs.

Roy,

First of all, I am a Duke fan, but if you are going to share the name with the North Carolina coach, who happens to be an extremely good coach (obviously), then please at least have some idea what you are talking about.  Volgelzang being compared to Boris Diaw?  Are you serious?  That is probably the worst comparison that I have ever heard.  Please tell me that you were just excited over the "BIG WIN" that Gordon just got over NEC.  I mean, I understand that all the Gordon fans' heads are swollen over the fact that they are having their best season in recent memory, but that doesnt mean anything once the playoffs start, whether they have home court or not.  And another thing, if Gordon is going to be ranked for their Field Goal % defense, then where is the mention of Endicott beacuse according to the CCC website, EC is at .394 and GC is at .403, sooooooooooo I believe that means Endicott should be ranked above them, but that would mean that you would have to admit that EC is better than you beloved Gordon at some aspect of the game, and that would be too much to ask huh?

First of all, I would like to respond to akirk, and the comment about MIT.  One Gordon win at MIT is nothing to write home about when you take into consideration the rest of their out of conference schedule.  I mean seriously, Framingham St., Westfield St., Johnson St., Mount Ida?  Compare that to a schedule such as Endicott whose schedule can be found in one of Hoops' latest posts, although I do disagree with the statement that Gordon would win one of those games.  That is quite a bold statement.  I think its going to be a HUGE disappointment if the home court advantage comes down to Endicott and Gordon and is decided by the fact that GC has a better out of conference winning % against schools with a .500 or better record.  That would discount the extremely tough schedule EC had to deal with.  And since this is my first post since the latest EC-GC matchup, I would just like to point out that other than the first 10-13 minutes of the game, EC dominated the game.  GC could not play better, and EC could not play worse, and for that game to end in a 5 point decision, should disappoint GC supporters. And take into consideration that EC played that game without Joey Burgos (who someone hyped as one of the best athletes in the CCC after the first game) who could have changed teh dynamic of the game dramatically.  And in response to the posts about the GC fan base, after being at the game, it was quite obvious that they did not do anything to get to EC.....if they cannot get into EC's head when they are up by 20+, then I don't think that they can be compared to the Cameron Crazies or even the EC fans for that matter......and just one more point, if I am not mistaken, the only banners hanging in the gym in Wenham are for intramurals, and if you travel over to Beverly or New London (CSC), you will see a number of postseason banners hanging in the rafters, which points to the positive postseason experience that has been lived by the players at EC and CSC, which will be a huge asset for them.

Nemanja is ok, just a nagging soreness during the game. He has been fine in every other game. He can bring it up as well, he has a decent handle for a big guy. Ellis is the 2-guard in the offense so Burton is bringing the ball up anyways. George was frusterated a bit during the game, but I think anybody would be if they got some of the foul calls go against them like he did.

Im looking for a strong performance tonight from the Gulls against #10 WPI. If they bring the same defense and handle pressure well then they could pull off a nice W tonight.

Hey everyone, new member to d3hoops. just wanted to throw in my opinions on the EC-GC game this evening. i was at the game and saw the defending CCC champs represent well. they brought good energy with help from their big crowd. gordon also had a big crowd so the gym was split pretty well.  endicott had good performances from nemanja, ellis, and corbett. nemanja scored most of his points at the end but had a solid all around game with 8 boards and 5 assists. corbett was huge off the bench with 12 points in 12 minutes. george was ok, but had some questionable foul calls go against him. as for gordon, they didnt get what they needed or anything out of herr or their entire bench. the big guys for gordon played solid, marstaller had only nine points but had 12 boards and 5 blocks. if a few of herr's 3's went down this would have been a different game, however endicott played good pressure DEFENSE. looking forward to the second game in january, hopefully we see a better game out of GC.
