Forget the EC/GC stuff for a while.  The dangerous CCC team is Roger.  Any team that beats Salem State should have everyone's attention in the CCC.  Roger can obviously play in the trenches.  Can any other CCC team?

On Todd Burgos - I saw that he had 10 TOs in a recent game.  Obviously he is trying to do too much.  He's better than that.

New England College - They are a scary team offensively.  I do have some questions about their team conditioning, however.  GC decided to run up and down the court with them and the result was NEC's shooting fading significantly in the second half. 

Gordon continues to play well enough to win.  The weapons are there and the discipline to take what is given remains in effect.  Point producers are on a game-by-game basis.  Jon Marstaller non-factor in Game 1 - Gordon wins.  Mike Herr 4 points in Game 3 - Gordon wins.  Defense has plenty of work to do - last year gave up under 60 points per game.  This year 70s in each game.  Rebounding is nothing to write home about either.  Teams will have to find a way to play game-long solid defense against Gordon because so far this team will not go away no matter what the score or situation is.  The CCC is theirs to lose - they have the horses.

CSC has a roster up.  Besides the three guys from Vermont, they also have a 6'4" guard from Ellsworth and a 6'6" forward from Windham.


They also have the pre-season poll posted (way to be on top of things conference website)

North Division     Points
1. Gordon [11]          119
2. Endicott [1]    106
3. Colby-Sawyer    97
4. Wentworth Inst.    82
t-5. New England Col.    68
t-5. New England    68

South Division    
1. Roger Williams [6]    111
2. Curry [3]                 102
3. Salve Regina [2]    101
4. Nichols [1]                   93
5. Eastern Nazarene    72
6. Anna Maria                 63

From what I saw last season in the CCC the team that will be better than this poll indicates is Nichols.  They're feisty and are only a big man away from being really tough.
