MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Its all good hoops, he was just saying to me that he already posted that gordon got beat...i just wasnt aware that you couldnt post anything that has already been said...water under the bridge....Dont know specifics about tonights wit game but it looks like they handled ENC pretty well....Go WIT!!

The box score will be interesting.  Herrick and Ezigbo have been the best rebounders thus far in the league.  We'll see how they were able to board against each other.  I'll also be interested to see how ENC's freshmen held up.  They played well against EC, but we can expect some inconsistency.

No worries WITball, Gordon got another beating. Lets hope coach murphy is hitting the recruiting trail hard.

I heard through the grapevine that chima is done for the year? anyone know if theres any truth to that?  honestly gordon has a solid team just no point guard...they shift between about 3 guys during the game

I am hoping Gordon's transfer Park Thomas can step it up, though he is a freshman and has lots to learn.

is austin benson a senior? if everyone on that team could take a page out of his book they would be a totally different team...kid hustles non-stop...Derek Mayo killed it for WIT last night 17pts for a freshman is no joke, Cement shoes layed down another double double, however without chima im not sure who on ENC could have stopped him...Big non-conference game against East Conn on saturday for WIT, East Conn ended WITs season last year in the opening game of the ECAC tourney, should be some bad blood and hopefully the WIT crew hasnt forgotten about getting beat twice by them last year...Should be a good game!

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Hey, so apparently Ezeigbo is out at ENC, probably for the year.  That might explain the big loss yesterday as they lack any other real post presence.  I guess the freshmen really will have to step up.

Which begs the question. How did ENC win by 10 at Endicott without Chima...either they're not bad or Endicott is

EC doesn't have much of a post game, do they?

That was the name I gave to Sam Herrick after watching him in November.  He looks like he's moving in slow motion almost all the time.  That's not really a commentary on his playing, just sort of freaky to watch.

[tcccfan2010]

if a 6'11 kid had good footwork he wouldn't be playing in the TCCC thats for sure. WIT better thank their lucky stars he is slower than my grandmother.

[tcccfan2010]

Great nickname by the way   

[WITball]

Herrick is a good player though, irregardless of whether you all think he isnt good enough to play anywhere besides D3 he did play one year at UNH (got decent PT) and then played some at Bryant during its transition phase from a good D2 team to a D1 Squad....Trust me hes good enough to play D1, I actually think it may be harder for someone like him to go off in this league as opposed to in a D1 or D2 setting where there are other guys his size that he could match up with an play well against (wait for the RWU game, sam will destroy flanagan if RWU doesnt send help)...Every WIT game ive been to this year he has been getting doubled from the other big and the guards are digging down or coming to double and sometimes triple team...I dont care who you are its hard to get the ball to the hoop with 2-3 guys on you...WIT doesnt have any other real bigs (yet) so it makes it easier for other teams to send their other big to double...All the attention is on him in the post which, from experiance, makes it much harder to score/rebound...Hes a good player, not super explosive or fast like some of the 6'5" big men in the TCCC but add another 60 pounds and 6" to any of those guys and they would be in the same speed category as sam if not worse...

[WITball]

WIT Vs. East Conn.....POSTPONED!? Really? does tansey have a new retractable roof that they forgot to close?  I know the roads into the city are clear of snow so unless the fine state of Conn cant clean theirs up then whats the deal? 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I like Herrick.  He's a good dude and a tough player, he just moves like he's at 3/4ths speed.  He gets to where he needs to be and he's got great hands.  He's a top player.  Cement Shoes just seems to fit when you watch him run.
