Three of the four are on the road but I am forecasting a CCC sweep.

This Curry team has it all. If they can keep everyone healthy (and eligible) they could make a run in the NCAA's. Those are some big if's, but it is certainly a possibility.

I think you mean tomorrow.

With that said, i'm going with GC, ENC, CC, WIT, and EC. I think the Salve/Endicott game will be the best one of the night but the closest game may be the ENC/RWU game. I think Curry could score 100 against Nichols.

I completely understand your point but I'm still not a fan. Also, since most teams played multiple games this weekend, it leaves them will very little practice time over a 10 day period. If the conference schedule allowed I'd rather practice today and tomorrow, come back on saturday for another practice, game on Sunday night then games Wednesday and Saturday. That way you have a three game week but it's spaced out and there is adequate practice time preceeding the games. Just my opinion.

UNE @ Mt Ida

RWU hosts J&W

What a great night of games for the TCCC. With the exception of the WNEC game I think all of these games will be very close. It's hard to predict college sports at the best of times, and nearly impossible at the beginning of the year, so these may all be incorrect.

I'm surprised that so many teams are playing tonight. Usually campuses are dead this week because so many students go home for Thanksgiving. If the school draws the majority of their students from the surrounding area, like Salem or Mt. Ida, the games could be well attended but usually the stands are more than half empty.

Big win for Salve. While it doesn't count for the TCCC standings they must be encouraged with the result given their loss of Birrell. Collecting 13 steals wll help ease offensive concerns since most steals result in transition opportunities.

UNE v Thomas @ Farmington
WNEC @ EConn
RWU hosts Lesley
ENC v Fitchburg @ NEC
EC v Framingham in Nashua (Rivier? maybe)
CC v Colby-Sawyer @ Amherst

Don't worry Hoops, I'll be here too. I only have EC getting a win tonight but I think the RWU/Lesley and CC/CSC games are toss-ups. I'll take Lesley because they played last night and might have ironed out some first game sloppiness.

I'm not going to hazard a guess as to who will win this game (pun intended) but I will say that this is sure to be a very entertaining game. The final score could be in the 80's as long as neither team is to anxious/nervous to start the game.

I think he was referring to high flying 21's post.

Please stop with the Dempsey POY predictions. Nobody on this board has disrepected his ability. However, just because he is good player doesn't mean that he will automatically get the award (I can't believe we have to explain this to you). Take one look at the All-CCC team - not many seniors on that list. It is conveivable that anyone returning from the first or second team could with POY. In the end, the best predictor of individual accolades is team success. The POY almost always comes from one of, if not the, top team in the league. If Gordon is in the Top 3 next year, Dempsey will get some votes. If they aren't, he will have to be one of the best players in New England to win it. Period.

Callo's time away may not have been injury related. May not have been nominted for all-conference.

A reminder, someone needs to be nominated by their coach in order to receive votes for the All-Conference team.

Dempsey's stats aren't overwhelming but when you watch him play he certainly passes the eye test. He is very difficult to match-up with because of his size, craftyness around the basket, and versatility. Often times All-Conference selections can be based heavily on stats and in those instances a player like Dempsey is affected. His team doesn't play at the pace of EC, Nichols, etc. so he doesn't have the opportunity to score as often because there are fewer possesions in the game. Just my opinion.

My Top 5 + 1Ryan Birrell
Erik Callo
Lance Greene
Sedale Jones
Pat Flanagan
David Dempsey
Andre Shaw

Sheehan misses out because of his defense and his shooting percentages.

He was cut. EC brought in a lot of kids that year, it wasn't as if he was one of only 5 frosh trying out, but it is remarkable that he went from cut to [possibly] POY.

EC had three first year pg's the year that Birrell was a freshman (this is his fifth year of college) to go along with returners Graham Whitelaw and Todd Burton:

Bobby Montrond (transferred in from NEC)
Mike Rhodes
Ben Ford

They also started the year with 15 guys on the roster - but didn't finish with 15.

One thing is for sure - Coach of the Year goes to Sean Foster of Salve. They had the best record and did it with average talent. Combine his team's success with the growth of Birrell, sure to be the pick for POY, and there isn't even a contest over who deserves this award. When Birrell was a freshman he was attended Endicott and was cut during try-outs. Now he is the player of the year. He deserves all the credit in the world for his success - as does coach Foster.
