i like that you put zack obrien on first team, i feel like the teams are two points based. obrien does ALOT for st joes and i believe he is by far their best player.

Albertus with another pick up is scary! Watson seems to be a monster in his own right now throw in a scholarship pg with lora, askew, and st. juste along with depth off the bench.

early season surprise suffolk defeats st. joes (who i thought was the clear cut challenger to albertus) this is going to be an exciting second semester, will be interesting what teams will make big jumps in the gnac this year. Im going to keep going - Emerson playing well as a team with no sure fire go to guy's , johnson & wales handles rivier with their run n gun style of play.  Cant wait for january to roll around 

mid season reports?
To no surprise albertus is on top the gnac, anyone see someone challenging them? johnson and wales and st joes look like they have the best chance, but i feel like emerson and coach smith always need to be feared

who are the top dogs this year? Albertus certainly at the top, how does everyone else shape up? AND has anyone heard if Emerson has any new pieces after huge losses with rouse and shannon? 

Thursday will in fact be an interesting night, hoping for the two top seeds to come up on top for a 1 v 2 final. Emerson vs albertus is interesting unfortunatley for me i feel like emerson cant matchup with albertus, but anything is possible when shannon is on the court! Askew is great and his athleticism would be tough to stop, hoping he recieves player of the year i think he deserves it after the year he had.

remsleep i completley agree on your opinion of kates, saw him play once this year and he looks great and only a freshman. Carries himself with a lot of confidence, takes care of the ball an outstanding D3 point guard.

Gnacalum55 do you know whos the better of the two BC high kids? This could make for an interesting tandum for the rams, maybe one can play the 4, the other the 5.

Does MIT have a legitimate chance of winning this game? Jeremy Lin of Harvard is great, should cause a problem for the MIT guards.

leelowlang i have only one major disagreement with you on your first semester all-conference team and that is putting Freshman Matt Pepdjonovic of Suffolk on the 2nd team and not 1st team GNAC. As a Emerson fan i cannot wait to see this young kid face-off vs Rouse. Pepdjonovic is an interesting story. I asked around about this kid, played one year of organized basketball his senior year at Boston College High School, where he came off the bench usually as the 6th man and was learning the game. He was not highly recruited by any means and Suffolk was lucky enough to land him. He's 6'6(probably more like 6'7) has the potential to fill out and be even more of a beast. Saw him play one game vs JWU where he had 18 points and 22 rebounds and seemed unstoppable when he was given the ball in the post. His upside is huge! Very Athletic and smooth at his size and seems like his potential has not been reached yet by any means. He is averaging 15.9 ppg, 12.3 rbg, leads Suffolk in steals,blocks, and fg% and has lead them to a 4-5 record. Good considering they won 3 games last year. I don't believe he is a fluke either, i understand their wins are against lesser opponents but this kid can flat out play. What shocks me is the fact he played one year of basketball and he is already found his game and is dominating at the D3 level. If he stays he will dominate the GNAC for years to come, i would not be surprised if a D2/low D1 school finds out about this kid and scoops him away from Suffolk with a scholarship offer. I'm hoping he does not stick around because Suffolk would have the weapons to be a powerhouse if they can recruit one or two more solid players and as a Emerson fan that would be hard to watch. Good luck to the teams this 2nd semester, watch out for Emerson Shannon is on his way back to team up with Rouse and dominate once again!
