I'm shocked at the absence of the Bates Bobcats in the most recent top 25 poll. Besides one minor FLUKE at home against a solid Babson team, this Bates team has been nothing short of dominant. The backcourt of Gilpin and Spellman has created some of the most dynamic and explosive guard play I've ever seen at the Division 3 level. The passion and energy this team plays with on and off the court is truly inspiring, and I think the top 25 committee would be wise to just give the Bobcats a chance, because in my opinion the rest of the NESCAC is playing for 2nd place.

What a crazy day for the NEWMAC! Proud of Emerson for picking up yet another big win over MIT. The big 3 of Grey, Waterhouse, and O'Connor may be the best collection of talent I've ever seen at this level. Border line impossible to stop when they have it going like they did tonight! Congrats to WPI for bouncing back impressively against Wheaton. Babson also picked up a great road win over coast guard, I watched the whole game. Think they would be better off if they played through Ulrickson in the post more often, the kid is dominant on the block and needs more touches in my opinion! Matchup nightmare!

WOW! Huge week for Emerson as they pick up big time wins over coast guard AND Clarke. They look primed to run through the NEWMAC and are starting to look like a real tournament team. Gray continues to be outstanding and also nice to see O'Connor and Waterhouse contributing as well. As strong as MIT has looked, due to unfortunate luck with injuries I think Emerson is my pick for the NEWMAC regular season title. 2-0 after the first week with no signs of slowing down, a bit early to predict 14-0 but I don't think it's out of the question for this team. The sky is the limit
