MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

UNE down 16 at the half.  Team is 4-22 from deep; lots of sloppy shots.  Jefferson and Simpson both have three fouls.  Not good times; bad times.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Jefferson picked up foul #4 with 15:50 on the game clock.

So much for TCCC gaining respect

So much for TCCC gaining respect

The underacheiving CSC team of the mid 90's was really our only shot at respect.  Gordon may still get there, but having an off year this year won't help.

UNE down 30 with 5 minutes to play.  5-37 from deep (maybe they should have stopped shooting those at some point).

[cccc-fanatic]

Too bad UNE.
Bad time to have the worst shooting game of the year.
10 for 46 from 3 point land = 21.7%
If they had shot their season average of 34.9% it would have been 18 points closer, but I still think FCS would have won.
Oh well, live by the 3 or die by the 3...I think the stooges or musketeeers once said that!
FSC's size, rebounding and experience should take them far in the tournament.
Great year everybody...what will we do without TCCC basketball?
I'm going to go clean off my golf clubs.
See ya in October.

What a year! Farmingdale had a great game from their bigs, they could dribble and help out while getting pressed. Did not see that in the conference this year.

[CCC Talk]

Big players in big games

Jefferson 3-13 from 3
Thompson 1-9 from 3


Thanks for showing up guys

No more CCC basketball for about 9 months.

It's Aaron Trigg's league now as Gordon looks to be the favorite going into next season

Nichols should be pretty strong too (still not sure why their PG missed the playoffs)

Curry most likely will be back in the playoffs

UNE should still be solid and I shutter to think what type of recruits they have coming in from Texas (if any)

CSC will be looking for a new identity but will probably find a way to sneak into the playoffs

Salve now passes the torch to Windell Hinkson as he takes over for Woodworth

WIT will finally be a team where the big men don't hide behind the guards limelight

WNEC loses their two best players

Endicott will have a new coach and should be very solid next year as they return to the playoffs

NEC can only go up

Regis has some nice pieces to continue to build around

Eastern Naz should improve since they didn't lose anyone to graduation

Anna Maria will have plenty of veteran leadership and could possibly pull off one or two more upsets

RWU will continue to be a tough out

[CCC Talk]

Riley from Nichols broke a few bones in his face and missed the playoffs, tough kid, he'll be back and ready to go

[YeahBoss]

It feels like big ten basketball out there. Besides UNE who can really put up points. Some of the games this year were in the 40s and 50s. I expected Cousy to come out and only dribble with his right hand, or Hickory to pass the ball four times before they shot the ball. Spread the floor, run the ball down the court, have some fun. If the tallest guy on your team runs the floor like Sabonis and dribbles like Wesley Snipes then get him off the court. Some of these teams have got to catch up with the rest of the country.

The whole conference needs to catchup with the rest of the country.  UNE is not exempt from that

It's all cyclical.  The CCC is never going to be a big-time power conference, but the top teams can compete from time to time.

[CCChoopsfan10]

Andy Trigg should be able to put up quality numbers next year and contend for POY and Gordon should be the early favorites to win the conference with UNE and Nichols contending as well...

hey Nor'Easter Nasty is there anything that you have heard about for possible recruits coming to sunny Biddeford Maine?

What happened at Endicott? where did coach go? Move to another job or fired? Few years back they were in NCAA tournet.
