MBB: Conference of New England

[All-around]

Havnt heard too much about the exacts of the roster, but I heard a rumor that Joe Chatman, from Franklin Pierce and previously U Lowell is going there. Also a kid I think named Stanley Chamblain from Keene St. is going there. As far as others im not quite sure.

Anna Maria added Freshmen to their roster.  Four guards all 6' or shorter.

Are you sure you weren't looking at their girls roster?

ENC had a scrimmage against Johnson and Wales on Saturday.  They started off really well, considering they were without two very important contributors in Andrew Brown and Ryan Seaberg.  They lost, but were in the game late.
For what its worth, ENC looks much better than they did in the past.  I don't see them as a basement dweller this season. 

They may not win 20 games, but they will compete each and every game... 

.... it couldnt get any worse than last year though!

did enc look good or did j@w look bad.

ENC had spurts of looking very good.  ENC's big man Luc Jasmin played really well down low, despite not shooting well at all from the foul line.  Since it was only a scrimmage, Coach Yeh played a variety of people in a variety of positions.  The starting 5 jumped out to an 8 - 0 lead, then when subs started to come in, that slowed down.  Their starting point guard was on the bench, probably because of disciplinary reasons.  So ENC actually looked pretty good for whats it worth.  I can compare them to the ENC teams of the last 5 years, and I think this team has the potential to actually compete. 

I don't know anything about J&W, so I dont know how well they should have played.  Anyone have any info on them?

Word I hear is that starting guard at ENC won't be starting for too long.  The new kid is looking very solid.

CSC has a roster up.  Besides the three guys from Vermont, they also have a 6'4" guard from Ellsworth and a 6'6" forward from Windham.


They also have the pre-season poll posted (way to be on top of things conference website)

2. Endicott [1]    106

t-5. New England Col.    68
t-5. New England    68

South Division    
1. Roger Williams [6]    111
2. Curry [3]                 102
3. Salve Regina [2]    101
4. Nichols [1]                   93
5. Eastern Nazarene    72
6. Anna Maria                 63

Judging by the votes in the pre-season poll, the rumors about all the defections from NEC must be true.  No way they finish that low with the team they had returning.

From what I saw last season in the CCC the team that will be better than this poll indicates is Nichols.  They're feisty and are only a big man away from being really tough.

Anyone know anything about the Spaulding trio at CSC?

[eclinchy]

Thanks. Is that an audio feed or is there video too?

Video, hopefully complete with nifty little on-screen score displays and commentary from two broadcasters.

That's cool because I have to work and a couple of us can catch the game in the dorm before we leave! Thanks for the input. Go Gulls!!!!!!!!
