Babson looks very good heading into NEWMAC conference play. Remain on Top 25 list despite a tough loss New Year's eve. Anticipate strong competitive conference games. Each team-mate has contributed to the team's success this year. The frontcourt looks very strong and the team is well balanced with several shooting guards.

You think any team in the NEWMAC will challenge them this year??

Babson with another strong win...with contributions and strong efforts from several teammates off the bench. The big three each had double/doubles, and played solid defense stacking the stat sheet with rebounds, blocks, steals and forced turnovers. The best news is Babson continues as the season progresses to get key outside shooting from starting junior point guard Allana Wynn and several other teammates off the bench including Liz Trainor and Erin Young. This outside shooting will free up the front court to attack,dominate and do what they do best .

There appears to be a few teams that will challenge Babson this year in NEWMAC, including Smith, Clark and Springfield.
Babson needs to remain sharp and keep up the intensity. I think Babson's backcourt will continue to improve along with the strong experienced frontcourt and help assure a deep run.

Babson's bench has got some meaningful minutes last couple games. It's nice to see the depth and some consistent outside shooting. The bench also seems to be in mid-season form playing solid defense and pushing the ball up the court.

Babson faces Smith on Saturday and Clark next Wednesday both on the road. Both games should be competitive and a good test for the NEWMAC champs.

Another strong win for Babson against Smith. The backcourt coming up huge again , shooting very well from the perimeter. This opens up the 3 bigs, Wurdeman, King and Collins to dominate the boards and get alot of second chances. King had a monster game on both ends of the court. Erin Young, was 5-5 on 3ptfg yesterday. Sarah Collins has kept the opponents leading scorers, Slattery and Drummond to 1-24fg in the last 2 games. Slattery had one point, one rebound for Springfield. Drummond went 1-17 fg and 0-9 3ptfg for Smith in 35minutes. phenonemal, while going 12-22fg herself . The team is well coached. They have a talented bench and they all demonstrate poise and discipline.

Babson continues to roll. The front court of Wurdeman, King and Collins continue to dominate. The back court is also playing very well. They play great defense and transition well.

Congratulations to Babson's senior Kathleen King who reached 1000 rebounds last night. She now has both 1000 points and 1000 rebounds.

MVP · February 02, 2012, 07:47:41 AM

Congratulations To junior Sarah Collins from Babson on reaching 1000 points last night!!

The best is yet to come!!

Another strong win for Babson on the road. They are clicking on all cylinders. The big three all had double/ doubles and the back court was on fire shooting 7-9 from 3 point land. The defense held wheaton to 32FG % . Babson is playing their best basketball heading into the stretch.

Congratulations to Babson !!! They have clinched their third straight NEWMAC regular season title. They are rocking and rolling!! Front court looks strong and the perimeter shooting has been fantastic.

I would not be surprised if Babson did not win the NEWMAC tournament.

MVP · February 12, 2012, 03:08:47 PM

The 18th ranked Babson team will win the NEWMAC tournament. They have not lost a NEWMAC conference game since February 2009, that's over 60 consecutive wins in the conference .
They will also advance to the Elite Eight for the 3rd straight year. If they face Amherst, in the 4th round for the 3rd straight time, they have a great shot at defeating them and moving on because of a much stronger all-around backcourt this year. The 2012 Babson backcourt plays strong defense and they now have 3 shooters that can consistently hit from the perimeter. In the past, with not much of a shooting back court, opposition was able to collapse on the big three -frontcourt.

That will not be the case this year. Defenders are going to have to go out to the perimeter and cover the shooting guards, this has and will allow the big three to dominate inside.

Law of averages indicates they are due for a stinker shortly
