MBB: Little East

[KorsairKILLAH]

umd smashed wheaton by 18 in their scrimmage today.  They are looking pretty good.  LEC looks good this year.

KosairKillah- I might have to disagree with you on the LEC looking good this year.  I truly feel that the LEC is a one team, maybe two team conferance this year.  I really dont see anyone other than RIC going to the NCAA's.  UMD is a good team and should give RIC a run for its money, but i feel that these two teams are really the only teams that are noteworthy this year.  Keene is down, as well as plymouth, and boston.

Keene opens up this week on sat with Williams.  Might be the toughest first game that Keene has played in a while.  Usually they scheduled sister marys school of the blind and physically disabled university for thier tip off tournament so they can start off 2-0.  Colbert toughing up the schedule to start

UNE vs USM should be a good one.  Apparently UNE has a bunch of players from Texas, so it should be interesting to see what they can bring.  The USM gym will be packed so don't miss it.  Tuesday at 730. Be there.

Since there is so much activity about this game the past few days, I had to check out who UNE has on their roster.  Who are these Texas guys?

[backboard]

I'm not sure who the new guys are, but if they're anything like Jaykyri Simpson or Johnnie Jefferson, then UNE will be a gooooood team for a while

[mcfarland13]

who's going to check out this UNE USM game? sounds like it should be a good one.

Im doubting these texas players will be any good, i mean if they were remotely top notch recruits they wouldn't be coming all the way to Maine to play college basketball, my prediction is USM wins the game easily!!

Well the two that came from Texas last year averaged 16 and 20 ppg and turned a mediocre team into a contender.  Why kids from Texas end up in Biddeford may be a mystery, but I wouldn't underestimate them.

Someone has to know the story behind this... there are only 4 Maine kids
