MBB: Conference of New England

[cccc-fanatic]

We could probably get the scoop from a UNE poster, but I suspect they ran out of words that rhyme with "tab" to sign off on their posts.

Just when I had somehow forgotten about that.... It comes back to haunt me...

UNE has a new coach who brought a bunch of guys from Texas with him. They're pretty small and will live by the jumper... And thereby, die by the jumper...

Or so I've heard

They may be small, but man can they run!!!!

wow...that's a really good response
I think we did that in grade school

[yeah buddy]

Am I seeing things?
Gordon with 40 votes for Top 25. Tied for 27th in the nation currently.

Yes. Finally, some emotion. I can't wait until conference match ups finally start. Then we can really start trashing UNE.

In the mean time, we have non-con Gordon/Endicott Thursday night. Check out what I found on Facebook (and no, it's not a print off raffle ticket for an iPod).

This rivalry is getting.... high tech.

Congratulations to Gordon!!!  If they can get to Christmas break undefeated they should crack the top 25.  The CCC may be down top to bottom, but this is still very impressive, and great for the conference.

Over the weekend, Roger Williams also defeated Coast Guard on the road (68-62).  Too bad we don't have anyone representing the Hawks.

[Word Life]

All this talk about a weak CCC this year yet 3 big out of conference wins by the Hawks, Gulls, and Nor'Easters the past few days, and Gordon's emergence as one of the top 30 teams in the country.

At the half:  Wentworth 40 - Becker 51

Wentworth has more turnovers (17) than made shots (16)

Wentworth 80 - Becker 103

WIT actually finished with more turnovers than shots made. The best way I could describe this game is a car crash that you can't look away from.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

CSC took out Plymouth State handily.  CSC has all their talent back with a lot of potential; perhaps they can make waves after all.


Curry lost another bad one.

The 87-83 final doesn't tell the true tale of the game Colby-Sawyer really took it to PSU lead by Szeliga and Rosso

Last night's action:

NEC 56 - Keena State 91
Shane Hennessey did his best with 18 points and 12 boards, but NEC lost the battle of the boards and just about every battle you could imagine.

Anna Maria 70 - Coast Guard 89
Was this a necessary match-up for Coast Guard?

Eastern Naz 66 - Wheelock 74
I'll allow the Eastern Naz posters to tell us about this one.

WNEC 66 - #16 Elms 82
Good for WNEC for scheduling tough opponents.  Kyle Fredette did his best with 24 points and 17 boards, but Elms shot 47% on the night.

Roger Williams 69 - Salve 66

Regis 57 - Newbury 53
Derrick Neal scored 19 points and pulled down 7 boards to lead his team to victory.

Curry 51 - WPI 67
Another tough loss for the defending champions, but their strength of schedule must be very high.

Becker 103 - Wentworth 81
As a touched on last night, a lot of turnovers for WIT in this one.  Todd Doyle did everything he could to carry this team, 28 points, but it wasn't enough.

Colby-Sawyer 87 - Plymouth 83
Strong showing by CSC's starting 5 and 55% shooting on the night gave Colby-Sawyer the win on the road.

Nichols 75 - Worcester State 82

[backboard]

Tuesday's best:  Todd Doyle, Wentworth: 28 points (10-12, 3-4 PT, 5-5 FT) and 4 assists in 33 minutes

Tuesday's worst:  Chris Smith, Nichols: 0 points (0-5) in 23 minutes
