First of all, I'd like to thank all the coaches & players for bringing their best to the season. It's a special group of people that allow us , the fans, so much enjoyment.  That being said, I want to say that the reffing this season has been much improved over the past seasons.  I don't understand how some people can make "off" comments about not liking certain teams & coaching without explaining themselves. I wish that would stop in the future.
I'd like to say something about Curry.  It's obvious that I'm a Curry fan and I've waited a long time for Curry to be put in this situation- a championship game. Malcolm Wynn has done a wonderful job in bringing Curry's program to where it is today. I just want to wish all the team members good luck for tonight's game.

OK, James, don't beat yourself up anymore, it'll be all right.  Just play hard for your team & good luck to you & your team.

Wow! What a great night it was for CCC basketball. I just wish I could have been at both the GC/NC & the EC/CC games, but with the weather predictions & the proximity of the 2 games, it was a no brainer, I didn't even have to toss a coin. I was at  the EC/CC game and I'm glad I did!
After a nice presentation of the 1,000 pt game balls to both Marinkovic & George, the game began. Curry came out with a real killer pace & with what has to have been their best "in conference" play all year.  Offensively, they could do no wrong . . from any spot they shot, the ball seemed to drop. Defensively , they collected their fair share of the boards. The momentum was all theirs and I thought it was going to carry over the rest of the game, when the beginning of the 2nd half started. But then, what must have felt like a nightmare for Curry happened. It was the momentum shift. It was precipitated by some bogus officiating calls against Curry, which gave the Gulls the feeling they were still in the game. To their credit, they used it to fuel their comeback. With a tenacious trapping , full court press defense, which was well executed ,  and with the now raving fans in the stands, they rattled Curry enough  to turn over the ball several times, which led to EC tying the game at the end of regulation. At that point, it looked like Curry was done. When they came out  for the jump ball at the start of OT,  EC  got a quick 2 points,  things were looking worse for Curry. With time running out & Curry down by 4, it now looked like it was going to be an EC victory for sure. Somehow, the Curry men got together, stood tall, kept their composure, dropped in a 3 & it was once again anyone's ballgame. Somehow Curry got the ball back & got a breakaway 2 & they were now up by 1.  With 3.5 seconds left on the clock & a sideout for EC, you had to think there was still a chance. However, a forced bad in-bounds pass led to a tie up on the floor & time expired. With all that, I have to congratulate the Curry team for hanging tough in a game that should have been won easily.

Can someone who was at the GC/NC game please post some details on how the game was played & some of the highlights.  Thanks.

I guess nobody noticed that Mike Mohrin at Curry scored his 1,000 pt last night in the contest against Nichols.  Mohrin's been a solid performer since Wynn has arrived at Curry. As far as I can see, he goes unnoticed.  I'm sure that along with Lamb, who I think is a fantastic player, Mohrin may play a close second on that team. He's a senior who will be leaving at the end of this year and will be missed.

Enough talk about Bartelle.  Sure, he's not playing now & if it's because of grades, then he's let himself down & his team.  Let's focus on what the team is really about-it's about people that step up that try to put together wins for the team.  Sure, it's known all around the league that Lamb is the # 1 player for Curry. Opposing teams go into games knowing they have to  double team him & he still is getting it done.  With Tim Jones out too, it doesn't make things easier for the team. Now you have a good point guard in Marcus Jones, who brings it up & unselfishly distributes the ball. You have a freshman shooting guard in Deryk Largesse, who can shoot the 3 with the best of them & can drive. Let's not forget   Mike Mohrin, a G/F who can play any position and be effective. Then you have one of the most tenacious small forwards in Steve Prescod. This guy can jump out of the gym & run balls down & play great D. The point is, this is what your lineup is & these guys give it their best offensively & defensively each time they play.  So, let's see how it plays out down the stretch. I'm sure Wynn knows what he wants to achieve & how he wants to achieve it.

I agree with HoopsFan & whoever else said that Coach Wynn is a well established, good coach.  I want CollegeExpert72 to give us more insights as to how he knows about the Curry suspensions. Doesn't this stuff belong "in house"?

Hey fellas . . .  just want to chime in to put my vote in for the top teams in the conference. I think Gordon should be there, followed by Curry , Colby Sawyer, Endicott & Nichols.  As far as Curry goes, don't overlook the fact that they have a lot of depth & another deserving player to be mentioned in the same breath with with Lamb & Jones . . that being Mohrin. He did make All Conference 2nd Team last year.
