MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Wentworth is going to have a strong squad, losing very little and adding two big transfers.

Also, word is Jasmin is out until January or February for ENC.  This could be another long season for them.  Thankfully Regis is on the schedule.  Even their own coach voted them last in the poll.

Hey Hoops Fan,
I'm not on campus this year. What's the word on Bobby montrod? You seem to be impressed by him coming to the Gulls.

[Jim Rome Of The CCC]

once again, all in fun,

*welcome to the jungle blares*

Clones what is up....I am baaaaaack its another season of action in the revamped TCCC. Worst abrev ever...even Orenthal thinks so.

Lets start at the bottom with Regis and my dream of seeing a team run the table in reverse. When your own coach is picking you last that is pretty outstanding....rack the pride.

Now lets talk about the The University Of Western New England College ....wait that's 3 different teams....ridiculous....from what I hear WNEC could be the real deal and the new kids on the block could lay some serious wood on the league this year.

Wait we have an email

"Dear Jim
James Bartelle is back at Curry
....signed.....James Bartelle

War The And1 Mixtape tour stopping in Milton"

....crumples paper. Moving on to the North Coast. Endicott jacks up a transfer from in the league and should be good....Josh Oxton is smiling somewhere....and Sam Evans...pretty sure he was Endicott when they were getting the ball down from the peach baskets...he's about as old as Dominqiue Wilkins.

Up and Gordon they lose Jerry Logan which is a much bigger loss than people up there seem to think, he was the engine of that team....Marstaller is back to finish 2nd in the race for another award.

Wentworth.....the freaking favorite? The new world order in the CCC we'll see if the boys from Boston can juice back up after their magical run or if they will do the superbowl thing and just not be heard from ever again like the 2004 Raiders.....also can we get a moratorium on the PB and J thing, lets call the dude by his real name this year

Salve Regina....still in the league

We got another email

"Dear Van Smack
Gary Corbett is the most underrated player in the league

signed....Gary Corbett

war Mike Plansky"

strong smack. We will be back after a short break we are out to Mike Tully for an interview and hopefully will be joined in studio by one of the dudes that jacked up the colby sawyer linolium floor.

I am out

Hey Hoops Fan,
I'm not on campus this year. What's the word on Bobby montrod? You seem to be impressed by him coming to the Gulls.

He had an underrated freshman year dishing to Jaziri and Onyechi at NEC a couple years back.  The kid up at UNE might be a little better with the dimes, but I'd give Montrod the frontrunner status as poor man's PG in the CCC.

[gullfan]

Thanks for the insight Hoops! What up with the unsolicited shot at Corbett. Is this the start of Gordon games again!

[backboard]

The season finally gets going tomorrow as teams begin with non-conference opponents.  Here's a look a who's playing who:

Gordon vs. Mount St. Vincent (Gordon Tip-Off Tournament)
Wentworth vs. Husson (UMass Dartmouth Tip-Off Tournament)
Colby-Sawyer vs. Johnson State (Rivier Tip-Off Tournament)
NEC vs. Mount Ida (NEC Tip-Off Tournament)
UNE vs. Unity (at Thomas College)
WNEC vs. Rhode Island College (Wesleyan Tip-Off Tournament)
Curry vs. New Jersey City  (at Muhlenberg Tip-Off Tournament)
Nichols vs. WPI (Worcester Country Classic)
Roger Williams vs. Castleton
Salve Regina vs. Lasell (Keene Tip-Off Tournament)
Anna Maria vs. Rivier (Rivier Tip-Off Tournament)
Eastern Naz. vs. Eastern Conn. State Uni.


The games are taken off each school's respective website.  The D3 Board reports some differences, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

You should probably use the conference website to get schedules.  That (as well as d3hoops.com) get their info from d3scoreboard.com, which should be accurate.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Tim Jones is working his magic again, Curry knocks off NJCU (a pretty decent squad) with a lot of input from their starting five.

Mastrullo had 18 with 7 assists, Jones scored 16, LaMarre went for 16 and 12, Bartelle had 13 points and Bowers had 13 boards.  We'll see if they have a bench this season, but Curry seems ready to go.


RWU won big over Castleton 91-56.

Gordon methodically takes care of Mount Saint Vincent tonight...the Dolphins hung close for about 2/3 of the game before the Scots discipline and shooting ability took over...4 guys in double figures with the leading scorers at 16 a piece

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

UNE took out Unity 102-35

WNEC opened their life in the CCC by hanging close to RIC, falling 56-65

Husson beat Wentworth 78-69; not a good start for the defending champs

Nichols put on a good showing against WPI, losing 80-101

NEC loses to Fitchburg, which can't be good 77-105; ouch.

ENC loses to WConn 60-79, actually not as bad as I expected

CSC beats Johnson State 86-74

Lasell tops Salve 77-61

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Todd Doyle didn't play for Wentworth tonight; that could be interesting.  I'm not sure how that team loses to Husson.  21 turnovers didn't help; I'm guessing Doyle would have cut down on those.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

WNEC took out Wesleyan 68-58
NEC beat Lyndon State 116-91
UNE beat Fisher 87-41
NC goes down to Becker (Ouch) 79-82
WIT over Albertus Magnus 90-56
ENC beat Mitchell (Who knew?) 70-62
CSC over Anna Maria 93-70
RWU took our Clark 83-79
Regis begins their men's basketball run with a beating at the hands of Salem State, 85-42
Salve over Lesley 85-63
EC beat Wheelock 60-34 (I think this was Wheelock's first ever men's game)
GC slips by Westfield 50-48
Curry beats Muhlenburg 92-71; the colonels look legit, for now

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Doyle was absent again for Wentworth, but they did ok without him.

Szeliga had 25 for CSC and Anna Maria managed to stay relatively close.

Endicott played like crap and cruised to an easy victory (5 steals for Montrond)

Gordon shot poorly from 3, but a win is a win, I guess.

Jaziri followed up a 14 point night with a 36 point night to keep his average at 25.

Nichols just sucks.

As does Regis, although they have an excuse.

Roger Williams is playing very well and Barranger seems to have finally found his game - 25 and 12 after 16 points the night before.

Salve's doing alright; it looks like Walsh and Woodworth are doing ok.

UNE shows us nothing, scheduling the two easiest games on Earth to open the season.

WNEC posts a nice win, but I know nothing about them.  There will be a lot of rookie hazing coming from me this year.  I may even refuse to acknowledge they're in the league unless they force me to with overwhelming play.

[dwebbs]

Where is Burgos for Endicott?

[number1chargerfan]

Szeliga scored 35 and 25 in the Rivier Tip off..if teams keep refusing to adjust to him then winning will be easier for CSC than it is for a guy at regis to make a sports team (just a joke)
