Curry once again pulls out a win when people thought they were done! Now we will really see if he is player of the year when he goes up against Bowers again, especially when he shut him down earlier in the season, O and by the way who is gonna stop Tim Jones from droppin 30 and Marvin from gettin 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, def not the POY!!!

I agree, there is no way that he can guard Tim Jones and Marvin Lamarre at the same time. Good call.

Curry is proving that you cannot stop Jones, Bowers and Mastrullo during an entire game. If you double Bowers like WNEC tried to do, Mastrullo is going to kill you like hes been doing through the entire tournament. Jones can take anyone off the dribble and their supporting cast is much better than advertised. Watching Lamarre play in person is an absolute treat. He is Ben Wallace of the CCC. Too much fire power for Curry... they will win by 7.

Good Luck to both teams tomorrow. I hope it turns out to be a good close game.

I will talk to all of you next year.

So curry proves everyone wrong again, two years in a row finished at #1. They play a different game so everyone disregards their true talent level. I want to know this, how does a team that the league picks to finish sixth finish 1st and they don't get coach of the year and have two players who should have split POY. Don't get me wrong Jones attitude was a rollercoaster but a few games doesn't disregarded a full season. Now Bowers has played consistent and avg. a double double? I mean I think it has more to do with there style of play then anything. The POY avg 6 boards and 15 points at 6'11, so I guess that's what D3 basketball comes down too? To throw this out there Jones had more steals then the defensive player of the year? All I wanted to say is that there is many good teams in the CCC don't get me wrong but stop downing teams when your facts aren't straight. Curry doesn't only depend on Jones as you can see when he scored only 3 they won and 15 they won. They don't need Jones to win, if people don't know, Jones dislocated his shoulder in the 1st 5mins of the EC regular season game says a lot about the senior.

Everyone jump on the Curry bandwagon quick

Does anyone know where the winner of CC and RW travels to play in the NCAA.

Pairings won't come out until monday morning, it could be somewhere close and logical like Amherst or UMD or it could be somewhere in upstate NY, you never know

A lot will depend on how the other conference tournaments go. We'll have to see what teams from nearby regions get in.

The last couple years, when I followed things a lot more closely, it was fun to set up likely brackets, but it's just so difficult because they don't go entirely by any sort of seeding. They begin there, but move teams around because of travel restrictions, etc.

We'll know more as the weekend unfolds.

Curry defeats Roger Williams for the CCC championship 83-65

yikes a blow out

backboard · March 01, 2008, 10:56:28 PM

Correction : Curry 83 - Roger Williams 66

For RWU, Barranger led the way with 22 points and 9 boards. Barrett came off the bench with 13 pts and Bashaw and Camobreco each had 10 pts. Dan Gumb was scoreless as he was unable to get into any rhythm.

For Curry, Bowers led all scores with 29 points and 11 boards. Jones was relatively quiet with 12 points and 6 assists. Marstrullo stepped up with 19 points and 4 boards.

There seems to be a lot of pretty low-level teams winning AQs in the NE/E/Atl/MidAtl regions. I think there's a good shot Curry stays close to home for the first round. Rhode Island College, maybe?

akirk · March 02, 2008, 04:06:51 PM

Congrats to Curry. Hopefully they will represent TCCC well in the big dance!

TTP14 · March 02, 2008, 05:08:21 PM

Wow, it was a blow out not what everyone expected? I guess they proved history wrong. Was anyone at the game?

I thought it was going to be a close one at first then RWU was no contest for the fast past game of CC. CC role players came up huge and both centers had a battle but only one came out on top all around. Hey for the coach of the year he showed some real class when he yelled at the clock lady with 44 seconds left and down almost 20.

How about Jones not living up to his ability in the big show? Guess that's why role players are huge. The two big men for CC changed the game and the guards was way to much for RWU to handle. For closing hope next year we get a better game in a better gym, nothing wrong with getting on the bandwagon, they won!
