MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Take heart Charger fans - on the road: CSC 74, Bowdoin 73.  They were much more judicious with the three (not to mention accurate) this evening, going 9-17.  Couple that with 20 points from Chaloux and forcing 19 turnovers and you get a one point squeaker against a "name" team with no identity.  It might be all they can ask for this year.

Nichols beat Suffolk 65-57.  Suffolk shot only three FTs the entire game.  NC had only 10 turnovers.

WNEC beats Hartwick.  You'll forgive me if it still doesn't feel right to list them as a CCC team.  I know they're in the conference, but everything about this arrangement seems wrong.

NEC loses by one to Green Mountain, in OT.  74-75.

Finally, Endicott puts on a good show against Colby, losing 72-61.  It looks like Montrond's starting again.  Colby seemed to do well on the boards.

I got word immediately after but I needed Hoops Fan to make it seem real.

I will take it, I saw it as a "now or never" game for the season and with Norwich on Saturday (though apparently no opponent is an easy one this season) and then a much needed holiday break for the boys to recoop..the machine should be free of all kinks by the time they go to Long Island for a tournament around New Years. Just in time for tournament play I think they'll be straightened out for the long playoff run I anticipated.

Where is everyone on this? Hopefully when we all start playing each other the smack talk that I live for will return..

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

CSC wins again, 85-83 over Norwich.

Endicott goes down to Wheelock 72-57.

Nichols gets crushed at Clark 90-65.

WNEC beat Union 58-56.

NEC loses to Lyndon State 101-79.

Regis hangs close to WPI, but falls 64-56.

UNE beats Farmington 81-67.

AMC played ME-Machais, but I didn't see a score.


We're done until after Christmas.

Are those selections based on stats or on seeing guys play?  I'd have to say there are better players out there than some of these selections, certainly guys who have meant more to their teams.

I'm also not sure you can even get a decent picture until the conference season is underway.  Everything before Christmas is preparation.

I've seen a little more than half the league either live or online.  Certainly I am not an expert on the league overall but have a clue.  Would like to hear who you felt was omitted and who they would replace.  That was more of the point of the exercise for me, to get that kind of feedback.  Big league with a lot of good players no doubt.

Happy to welcome the Fighting Scots back to my "neck of the woods" (upstate NY) at the Union College tournament.  This is the same tournament they were in two years ago.  Gordon faced off against the hosts in the first round and won 69-47.  The game was close in the first half, not in the second.  Essentially, Union had no answer for Gordon's size, both rebounding and scoring down low.  The Scots will face Montclair State in the Championship.  They won against Elms, in what I was told was a close game, 65-63 or something like that.

[GC Oldtimer]

For the second time in three years, Gordon wins the Sig Mokofski Tournament at Union College beating Montclair State 64-53.  It was a pretty ugly game in the beginning with neither team playing particularly well, I think MSU lead 10-7 halfway through the first half.  Both teams played better in the second half as Gordon slowly grew their one point lead.  Aaron Trigg had 20 points.  This was a game where Gordon probably should have played better but still gutted out a tough win, two impressive road victories.   Bring on TCCC!

[GC Oldtimer]

The Gordon score tonight was 61-53, sorry about that...

CSC stuns Middlebury tonight by 10.  Nice win for them.

If Castleton loss was the low point of the season..this has to be the high..a huge road win handing the number 7 team in the nation its first loss of the season..man I can't wait for conference play!

Seriously?  Is there anyway to change the conference tournament to let everyone in?  It's the only thing that seems fair right now.  Anyway, the post season will be fun.
