MBB: Little East

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

While I respect Zach Ellis, I have seen him run the point on occasion, and he's shaky.  I think that describes the whole EC team.  The two guys they lost were the leadership of the team, so while they have game experience and solid talent, they still don't know exactly what to expect.  Much is the same at Keene.  Although they have some veteran talent back, the team still is unsure what to expect.  In both cases, I could see the team winning their conference or finishing 5th.  There is a lot to be established.

KSC certainly got themselves a heavy schedule to work their way through... even if they lose more than normal this year, the level of competition will be nothing but beneficial for the young guys in the future.

Watched Keene State play at WPI yesterday!  Very impressive performance by Keene State.  They got down by 14 but battled back to win the scrimmage by 11!  They won the second half by 17.  For everyone who was dissing Chamblain...he is the real deal!  Started for Keene and played very well.  Sullivan looked like an All-American, scoring whenever he wanted.  Keene State has a very very very deep bench.  WPI played extremely tough defense and look like the team to beat in the NEWMAC.  Should be an interesting year for both teams!

not suprised to hear Keene played well against nationally recognized WPI, Keene is being rather quiet right now in terms of hype but that never hurts early on in the season.... the most important part of that recap has to be the early signals that sullivan is ready to become that dominant scorer that the team can go to, and anything chamberlain and anderson can give them right away is just added bonuses cause they already have plenty of guys with experience and are ready to play.  It'll be interesting as i said before to see where they stand after their first 5 games...

Keene had a good tourney.  Although they didn't meet CSC in the championship.  I might have overstated Chamblain.  He looked non-existant!  They started some kid from VT.  He didn't do much but they played an overmatched Maine-Machias team.  It will be interesting to seem them play an actually good team.  I and several people in the crowd where not impressed by their freshman or returners.  Hickey is not a point guard that can lead them.  Turned the ball over all over the gym.  Very impressed by Colby-Sawyer's performance!  St. Clair is a Man-Child!!

Good to know they are on form.  The CSC-KSC game next week should be a thriller.  With the way UNH and Dartmouth have played lately, this might be the battle for the best team in New Hampshire.

Keene State beat Endicott tonite by a score of 83-72...

ill try and get some stats too

[LarryLegend]

Sontage is a stud!!!  Had 30 against a very good Endicott team.   Keene State has yet to get Sullivan going.  If they do they could be very dangerous!  There newcomers are every bit as good as advertised.

It seems like the LEC has started off very well. We have east conn. beating trinity..and RIC beating salem st. Could be a very good year for the LEC

Hello little east fans,well i have sleeper in the conference.By the name of umass-boston the first game they lost was a flute.By mid-season if they are above five hundred keene,ric,w.conn better be careful. This team is under size now, but by jan.there bigger player will be playing,Which consist of 6'6 player and a 6'8 player.Thank for letting express my opinion. 

[broke_ya_ankles]

oh geeze here we go again with the UMB talk....anyone else remember this same guy last year? similar typo's as well....

anyways yea yea UMB has some kids that can flat out play, they had em last year too, we all know Paniagua and Barros are two of the better players in the conference but the whole problem with UMB has been the whole team factor, so much is 1 on 1, the loss to fitchburg state is unexcusable if you're gonna try and make a case as a conference king, let them go a couple rounds with Keene and RIC then maybe some hype will be justified but until then....they lost to fitchburg state, 'nuff said

[umbfan05]

Well, I guess you don't much about umb-boston first of all barros and paniagua are a big part of the team, but are not the best player on the team if you look (15)james hall didn't play the game vesus Fitchburg State,but He played the last two game for average of 12 minutes and 9.5ppg and 3 steal this guy makes the team go defencly  and offencly. check that out.   

[All-around]

Well you must be Hall or something. Everyone who knows anything knows Barros is the best player on UMB. And wait till they win to start talking please. I dont care if Fitchburg was a fluke or not. Good teams dont have flukes against fitchburg, who lost to Amherst by 50. So UMB does always have talent, but winning games is a different story.

[umbfan05]

First of all,I'm not hall and have you ever seen umb-boston play, barros can score.If You look at there stats, barros Put more shot and plays more if Hall play more and shot more, he would avg about 25 ppg and 5 steal per game and 10 rebound and that no joke, and any team that play umb know that hall is the guy to be stop, trust me they can survive without barros and his scoring, just because he avg more points doesn't make him a player,like i said barros played sorry Fitchburg team and lost by 4 points, the minute Hall plays and only 17 minutes 6POINTS, 8 REBOUNDS, 4 ASSIST, 4 STEALS,UMB Win big.The Next Game Hall plays 13 Minutes Goes 5-8 Scoring 13 Points getting 3 STEAL, 1 ASSISTS,Trust me this guy is the leader of this team.he may not lead them scoring,  but every goes threw him.read this carefully

r u cave man?

[umbfan05]

For you Little east fans,umass-boston collect another win, just like i said they would. I've been watch keene state they been collecting some big wins as well. western conn. looks average with there wins, i feel like in the northeast conferences, the little east is the best by far, in the northeast.
