What a week!  Bittersweet for us Gordon fans.  After going 31-36 from the line against Salem State, watching the Scots miss 10 in the first half alone was gut wrenching.   However, in my 4 years at Gordon, I don't know that I've ever heard that gym as loud as it got when Gordon took the lead after being down 17 with just 7:48 left on the clock.  In the end, a disappointing loss but a gutsy showing from Endicott to hang on in the end.  This Danquah Rawlins kid should make some noise over the next few years...

Another great showing for Gordon at MIT and a great double-double from Gaskill.  I think he looks a lot more like a big man than he did a year ago.  However, you can only accompany solid performances with Ls for so long, so the Scots better figure out how to finish close games out before conference play starts up...

(Sorry for turning these in late)


RWU, Elms, Gordon, Wheaton, Gordon

Gordon gets its first-ever win against Salem State.  Of course, I had to go back home tonight so I was only able to watch the broadcast.

Here's hoping that's not the first time Gordon does something it's never done before this season...

Gordon's shooting well in the early-going.  Trigg and Bajema look like Trigg and Bajema.

Gordon 33 -- Salem State 27

It's tough to make heads or tails of this Westfield State - Gordon match-up.  Westfield obviously beat a tough Baruch team, but watching the game it was hard to decide whether or not that ought to scare Gordon.  Both teams were super-athletic and played a physical, fast-paced game (which is characteristic of good mid-level programs), but given the style of play it is hard to picture what they will look like on the floor against Gordon.

Either way, I'm anticipating a much more intense game than we saw for Gordon last night...

...Getting in a week late.  Gordon's first game was sloppy, but it's good to see that they can win a close game, not to mention a game where they get out-shot and turn the ball over so much.


I'll take:

Suffolk, Keene State, Bowdoin, Gordon (only because I don't want to accept that I might never see them beat Salem State), and RIC



Gordon Tip-Off Tourney starts tonight.  Shouldn't have too much trouble against Maine-Maritime, but win or lose they're looking at a tough saturday game against either Westfield State or Baruch...

(Just registered today!)  As a huge Gordon fan, watching any of the game today was a bit painful.  A great game on both ends by two teams who absolutely deserved to be there...

Matt Lemieux and I are from the same city, and he's been destroying my teams since I was 12 years old and was guarding him unsuccessfully myself. 

The refs gave UNE a lot of breaks, and called a lot of fouls on CSC that they would never have called on UNE.  I guess that's the reward you get for playing such aggressive defense...

Great tournament in the CCC.  Let's hope these programs continue to get better...
