MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

We've got some results in:

Endicott handled Green Mountain 82-60.  Makris and Karkow both had double-doubles.

WNEC gets crushed by #4 Amherst 69-97.  Shaw had 23 points (15 of them FTs).

Salve fends off a late run by Daniel Webster to win 84-81.  Birrell scored 30 and Dineen added 18.

ENC loses another close one to Newbury 78-82.

Gordon wins by losing, scoring a whopping 49 points to Salem State's 76.

So the calculations were correct.

So the calculations were correct.

But now we have to figure out if they can break 50 this year.

UNE at Mt Ida today.

@CCC Talker I think you are going to be surprised at how good Gordon will be this year, they will be back in contention for the title next year with Dempsey a senior.  And guard play won't be an issue this year with Park Thomas having some experience under his belt as well as Bajema and JT Hiemilstien playing well.

Yeah that guard play looked outstanding last night! I'm confident with some seasoning they will be breaking 50 on a regular basis....

that Gordon guard play has been stellar so far 0-3, 41 points per game (as a team, not the guards) and 16 assists to 61 turnovers...

UNE at Mt Ida today.

UNE goes down, 64-72, I think.

Lonely thanksgiving on the boards.  Hopefully things will pick back up again soon.

Monday's games:

Curry, who's been playing pretty well, heads to Babson, who has been playing very well.

Nichols hosts Fitchburg State.

Not to mention 27-55 from the free throw line for an exceptional team percentage of 49.1%.

Oh gordon....WIT looks good, spreading it out well. Should be another interesting season for TCCC

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Curry lost to Babson, 60-70.  Respectable.  Jones went for 24-7-5.

Nichols lost at home to Fitchburg.  To be honest, I expected them to win this one.  They blew a 12 point halftime lead to lose 74-77.  Sheehan only had 20 and they sent Fitchburg to the line 27 times.

No more action until Wednesday - and the opening of conference action:

UNE @ WIT
CC @ NC
EC @ SRU
ENC @ RWU
WNEC @ GC


Any predictions early on?

[CCC Talk]

WIT over UNE by 15
CC over NC by 8
SRU over EC by 1
RWU over ENC by 8
WNEC and Gordon scoreless tie

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Just for what it's worth: talk about poor shooting.  ENC's women beat Framingham last night 44-43 in a game where no ENC player scored in double figures and the team brought down 65! rebounds (the teams combined for 100 boards).

Crazy numbers there.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Coming up on halftime for Curry and Nichols.  It look like both teams had to function without the scorers for a while - Jones and Sheehan had foul trouble.  Each has two, so we should see something different in the second half.  Game is pretty much even right now.

Wentworth was up 19-4 11 minutes in against UNE, but only holds a two point halftime lead.
