UNE beats #8 Umass tonight by 2 points

Too bad UNE.
Bad time to have the worst shooting game of the year.
10 for 46 from 3 point land = 21.7%
If they had shot their season average of 34.9% it would have been 18 points closer, but I still think FCS would have won.
Oh well, live by the 3 or die by the 3...I think the stooges or musketeeers once said that!
FSC's size, rebounding and experience should take them far in the tournament.
Great year everybody...what will we do without TCCC basketball?
I'm going to go clean off my golf clubs.
See ya in October.

i can't support UNE for obvious reasons

LET IT GO!
YOU LOST TWICE...DEAL WITH IT AND MOVE ON!
IF CSC WERE IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT, I'D BE ROOTING FOR THEM!
GO NOR'EASTERS...YOU CAN DO IT...FOR YOU AND THE TCCC

Rhode Island SID says that the UNE - Farmingdale will be webcast either by RIC or UNE

Does anybody know if the UNE game will be broadcast in video or audio?

UNE's motto all year had been "Unfinished Business."  It will conclude with a championship.  UNE 89-CSC 81

WOW backboard...you almost nailed the score

UNE played their worst game of the season Thursday and still won. 
It was "opposite" night - they did the opposite of everything they've done all year.
Today they will get back to their normal game and win. 
UNE 72   CSC 64

CCC TALK - no brainer for Salve Regina coach is right - a person would have to have no brain to say that.
13-12 and 8-5 in conference compared to UNE's record?
Come on, get real...if it's not UNE's Mulligan then there is something funny going on.
Maybe payback for recruiting so well out of state?

How about Coach of the year?

UNE

Listening to Hoopsville tonight, Colby-Sawyer was picked by the Northeast correspondent to win the CCC tourney...

Which brings up a question of what do all of you think in terms of who will win the tourney?

Try to put sympathies aside and let's come up with a matrix of winners before the tourney starts...

And then we'll compare our picks with what actually happens in the end...

I'll start... And pick UNE...

Hats off to Aaron Trigg....what a player.  He led a 13-0 run that took over a close game.
Great court presence...8 for 8 from the line.
He willed his team to win the game.

What in the world does UNE (University of New England) have to do to get into the top 25?
Undefeated in conference.
2nd longest winning streak in the nation.
What's going on?

This is absolutely ridiculous...
W >:(hat in the world does UNE have to do to get rated in the top 25?

UNE 82 - CSC 71
Hey number1chargerfan...are you finally ready to give the Nor'easters the credit they deserve?

Not only did UNE have to play a slowed-down game, a lot of their players were battling the flu that day.
Hopefully the next four games will be a good test for all of the best teams in the conference.prove

Looking at the scores and standings this Sunday and only one question comes to mind: 

Can anyone stop UNE?

We all know that they can score as a team, but yesterday they showed that they can win the low scoring, grind it out type of game as well.  Roger Williams may be the best defensive team in the league in terms of not allowing opposing teams do want they want.  Yesterday they held UNE without a field goal in the last 9:53 of the game and only allowed 4 points during that stretch.  But we have to give credit to the Nor'easters for keeping up with their defensive intensity and coming out with the win despite shooting 30.8% for the game.

Jefferson was the only member of UNE to score more than 10 points (he had 12).  For Roger Williams, Pat Flanagan had 14 points and 9 boards while Billy Barrett chipped in with 11.  Final score 47-44.

UNE now hits the road with games against Endicott, Colby-Sawyer, and Gordon before returning home to face Nichols.  Some tough games against fundamentally sound teams that boast some size as well.
