The Miersma kid is big and pretty decent, however he is remarkably soft and comes from a HS program that has produced a long line of remarkably soft players.

Is Alex Vander Baan, Holy Cross' former power forward, listed among those in Whitinsville's "long line of remarkably soft players".  I don't think so.  Quite an incentive-driven statement to make that is stupidly wrong.  I know a handful from the Wentworth crowd likes to try and act like Wentworth is perennially superior to a school in the conference like Gordon (who, mind you, still boasts the conference's ONLY at-large bid to the NCAA tournament ever, not to mention winning the CCC two years ago), but history has proved that Wentworth is not, and never will be, "better" than Gordon, institutionally or athletically.

I'm not even sure if you know the definition of history with that garbage you just rambled off.  Wentworth has never been better than Gordon athletically?  You honestly should never be allowed to post again with that ridiculous comment. 

Outside of a couple quality seasons and SEVERAL disappointing ends to their basketball season, Gordon doesn't hold a candle to Wentworth's success.  Gordon has NEVER had a player as good as Prezzie-Blue or been able to recruit All-American talent that Wentworth has brought in during earlier seasons.  How many championships have Gordon won?  A resounding ONE!!!  I'll let you know fill me in on how many Wentworth has.  (I'll give you a hint, it's more than one.)

Please refrain from making a complete and utter fool of yourself.  I'm not interested to dragging more sports into this dispute because frankly, neither school is really elite.

BIG game tomorrow with WIT playing at Gordon...this is a classic rivalry and will be a great game...

Agreed.  The Wentworth-Gordon rivalry has really heated up the past few years, especially after that huge playoff upset in 2007.  Apparently there was a lot of trash talking on Youtube between former Wentworth players (who were making personal attacks against Gordon as an academic institution) and Gordon fans, but we won't get into that here.  Good luck to both teams tomorrow night should be a great game.

Not to spark controversy, but should that 2007 game still be considered an upset?  Wentworth went on to the win the championship and had a pretty stacked roster.  1 player of the year and 1 eventual player of the year.  Ok I guess I am trying to spark controversy afterall . . .

12 blocks???  My goodness

Eastern Conn 64 - Wentworth 59
Elms 77 - Curry 66

"The finalists for the prestigious Jostens Trophy are being announced today by members of the Rotary Club of Salem, Va. The award, which honors the top Division III basketball men's and women's student-athlete of the year, is based on three criteria: basketball ability, academic ability and community service."

Apparently academic success at Gordon can take you far

Trigg is the CCC student athlete laison (he helped create the role two years ago). He is the student body president and is also the leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes on campus. He is a business administration/finance double major with a pre-law emphasis.

If you are doubting his basketball ability, he is number four on Gordon's all-time scoring list and has more than proved his ability throughout his career.

I think he satisfies all three criteria quite satisfactorily.

Please, he's barely a top 5 player in TCCC within the past 5 years.  Being the leader of a group that I doubt most CCC players haven't even heard, and he created himself, is just wonderful too.

It's on the front page

Curry and Wentworth will be in the ECAC tournament as #7 and #8 seeds respectively

Terrible inbound pass by Curry which Gordon easily stole

Gordon WINS 56-54

3.6 seconds left.  56-54. Curry with the ball and down 2

It's tough leaving out Josh Oxton and Matt George, but EC had no representation this year, so they lose out

Great list otherwise

Others more than deserving:  Todd Doyle, Pat Quinn, Ryan Jaziri, Marinkovic

That had to have been one of the top 5 greatest games in TCCC within the past decade

One of the top 5 games I have witnessed - in all sports - in my 14+ years at Wentworth.

It was a great game...if you're a Wentworth fan

While at Gordon at the time, I would put it in the top five games I've seen. (KU-Memphis is number one).

I was disappointed in the result, but Prezzie-Blue was/is a class act, a top talent, and just a great guy. He went for 30+ in that game and was the singular reason the Leopards won. Everyone knew it as he/she left the gym.

Prezzie-Blue, St. Clair., Aaron Trigg, Tim Jones, and Mike Herr... I'd take that team any day.

No offense to Mike Herr, but he couldn't be more out of place on that team.  If you're looking for another big man/forward, I'd go with Raheim Lamb

Gordon beats Colby-Sawyer 77-58
Curry beats Wentworth 77-67

Gordon hosts Curry for the 2010 TCCC Championship.  I was hoping for Wentworth to win so Gordon could avenge the 2007 upset at the hands of Sherrad Prezzie-Blue, but the game is monumental nonetheless as Gordon finally gets to the championship.  This is huge for that program.

If Curry plays this style against Gordon, they'll lose by 30. More on that later

Gramatically, your sentence says that Curry will lose by 30. But I think you meant Gordon, correct?

No sir.

Curry played a zone basically all game (at least 95% of the time).  They took away Wentworth's greatest strength which is their interior size and power.  Sam Herrick (1st team CCC), Shane West and Matt Abbott (both 2nd team CCC) were all held to a total of 9 points.  9 POINTS!

Jarrell Jackson played out of his mind tonight.  He didn't shoot it great (8-18), but he was unstoppable moving around the court. 

Wentworth's guards, while pretty talented, were left alone to carry the team.  The inside-out game just became an out game (29 three's for Wentworth).

Now if Curry plays like that vs. Gordon, the GC guards will have a field day.  First of all, the GC guards are more fundamentally sound and stronger with the ball in the hands.  Second, those guards will each score 20 points a piece in the first half vs. that zone.
