MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

EC 71, WNEC 67.  WNEC still hasn't won a game.  They got 22 from Andre Shaw and 14 boards from Lomas.  EC was led by 16 and 8 from Lachlan McGee - a lot of great freshmen in the league this year.  The next few should be a lot of fun.  EC hit 18-21 FTs in the second half to wipe away and 11 point deficit.

NEC 77, NC 61.  Sheehan had 22; Kuntz had 19.  Those guys are going to have to put up with a lot of crap for a while until the rest of the team comes around.  Farragher led NEC with 21 and 8.

WIT 64, RWU 46.  13 and 13 for Big Sam, 20 and 7 for Dombrowski, and 19 pts for Buke-Pitts.  RWU had 3 and 7 from Engemann.  Not a good game for Roger Williams; Wentworth continues to roll.

Gordon over ENC 75-60.  ENC is going to struggle without the big man.  Alston had 24 and Flakes had 15, but the team was out rebounded 31-46.  Walker went for 19 and 15, while Dempsey had 22 and 10.

Salve 75, UNE 58.  There's going to be a scrum at the bottom in the CCC this season - lots of incomplete squads.  Birrell went 26-6-6 for SRU.  Winn had 13 for UNE.

Regis over Curry in a tight one, 70-66.  26 from Neal.  Jones went 18 and 10 for Curry; Jackson had 22 off the bench.  51 combined FTs, only 20 combined turnovers.  Solid game.

Is Wentworth for real? They lost a lot from last year and then started the season playing horribly. The last few weeks have been pretty impressive. Well coached team and they seem to be really shutting down star players.

I still think the league runs through Curry but who knows if they are as good as I thought?

Also huge props to Bill Foti up at Colby Sawyer who lost a LOT from last year and is currently in first place as well behind the contributions of 2 freshman.

Gordon played a good game on Saturday but still has a long way to go.  The transfer point guard that they picked up will be much better than what they had before but he still has to learn the offense.  As the season goes on they will get better.  I just hope they haven't lost hope already.  They may not be a top seed but they could be a tough game come the playoffs if they start playing as a team and not a collection of talents.

I saw them early on when they were losing games they absolutely should have won.  You can go back about ten pages and see my scouting report.  WIT has all the pieces to win the CCC, they just have to get it all together.  They're playing well right now.  We'll see if they can keep it up.

Great effort by Gordon tonight. 48-49 loss to RWU

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Either Foti's back or that crazy referee crew is - let's all hope its the former.

WIT goes down to WNEC by 9....Live by the three die by the three...I didnt go to this game but alot of WIT's success has came from behind the arc...they were 3-20 last night in this area.  Big Sam had a good game 22pts 10rebs and Corey T. had 15pts...Also cant win when only two guys show up.  Minor speed bump for the leopards as I expect them to come back strong against endicott this weekend.

We got the CSC info already; here's the rest of the rundown:

Salve big over Nichols  96-62.  Birrell went for 14, 9, and 8 in 29 minutes.  He's playing very well.  Hinkson had 23 and the bench got a lot of minutes.  Nichols went to the bench as well, maybe out of desperation.  Sheehan had 27 - he better be working the phones to recruit for next year, that or calling other teams looking for a spot.

AMC over EC 86-66.  Anthony Click went for 26, 7, and 8.  Five guys in double figures and they hit the boards hard.  EC shot quite poorly.  Burkhart had 15.

WNEC gets into the win column with a 63-54 win over WIT - that's a big win.  Maybe the Wentworth guys were tired from the arduous drive to Springfield?  WIT shot horribly, 3-20 from deep.  Herrick had 22 and 10.  Here's my thought on Wentworth - they need Cement Shoes to get a double double every night, but he can't be the leading scorer.  Conor Lomas pulled down 14 boards for WNEC; Mienkeweitz had 18 points.  16-30 from the line isn't great, but 30 trips to the line won them the game.

Regis over NEC 79-64.  Neal either was injured or really shut down.  Robert Edwards picked up the slack, scoring 28 for Regis; Alibrandi had 19.  Farragher had 22 and 10 for NEC; Hennessy went 11 and 12 in 18 minutes before fouling out.  Same story as the previous game - NEC shot horribly and lost it.

ENC on the road over UNE 73-80.  Charles Fenner had 25 for UNE off the bench.  For
ENC John Flakes played 39 minutes and had 19 and 11; Aaron Johnson had 22.  They held their own on the boards.

Gordon 48, RWU 49.  Nearly identical statline across the board.  This must have been a battle.

CSC tops Nichols 55-52 at NC.  Sheehan had only 8 points on 3-10 shooting; Nichols still hung tough - 12 and 10 from Kuntz.  Robbie Burke went for 15 and 10; 10 and 7 from Brandon Carbone off the bench.  CSC shot 1-17 from deep, but 16-20 from the FT line and won the rebound battle.

EC over WIT 75-71.  Wentworth had another awful shooting night.  Herrick went for 25 and 14; Terriault had 22.  EC was led by 30 from Lance Green.  Big road win for Endicott; another tough loss for Wentworth.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

NEC over RWU 47-44.  No box score.


AMC over UNE 94-85.  29 points from De La Hoz.  Anthony Click had a triple double for AMC - 10, 14, and 12, with three steals.  He's been playing very well of late.  Five guys in double figures.  UNE was led by 24 from Marcus Winn and 21 from Fenner.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Gordon beat Curry 80-42 two days after the Colonels lost 45-101 to Amherst.  Rough weekend for CC.  No box score yet.

Salve over WNEC 60-62.  Thomka had 21 and 14 for WNEC; Hinkson had 13 to pace Salve.  Salve shot horribly and still pulled it out.

No word from the ENC-Regis game yet.

What has gone wrong with Curry? Gordon dominated them. crazy year in the CCC

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Anyone know why only Jones played vs Amherst on Thursday, and neither him nor Jackson played today for the Colonels vs. Gordon?

Pretty typical for Curry.  There's always some mysterious absences during the year - injuries, grades, or behavior.
