MBB: Conference of New England

[backboard]

1/4th of the way home give or take a game and I think we can take a look at some predictions:

1. Gordon- Playing the best out of anyone. Have maybe the leagues best player in Aaron Trigg and maybe the league's best point guard in Brady Bajema.

Just a general question for anyone but I'd really like to hear what the Gordon fans have to say:
What's the better guard combination, Aaron Trigg + Brady Bajema or Jerry Logan + Justin Kaufman?

I could go crazy in-depth with this, but I'll refrain until I can pull together some data. With that said, I'd choose Trigg-Bajema. Don't get me wrong, Logan-Kaufman were fantastic, but I think Aaron and Brady have more all-around potential.

With Jerry Logan and Justin Kaufman, Gordon had a solid defender and a wonderful ball-handler. Scoring was off and on, but the ball was in good hands and Jerry basically wiped the opponent's best scorer off the stat sheet.

With Aaron Trigg and Brady Bajema, Gordon has an overall star and a pure shooter. Trigg does everything well. I heard Mike Schauer describe Aaron as the best defender he had at Gordon (I still would choose Logan, but it's close). But Aaron drives well, he shoots from range well, he hits his free throws, and he has a great basketball IQ. Brady is probably one of the best shooters Gordon has ever had. I remember Ryan Smith hit some big shots in his time... But Brady is insane. I don't think he's still there, but at one point last week he was hitting over 60% of his 3's. That led the nation.

Both combinations were/are great. But I think Gordon has a solid backcourt that will help dramatically come tournament time in this conference.

[backboard]

There have been some pretty good backcourt combinations in the CCC within the past few years (in no particular order):

Oxton/Ellis or Oxton/George (so much size on those teams, I remember they were able to move Matt George around) - Endicott
Colin Bray/Nate Truncellito or Tyler Fornier - CSC
Prezzie-Blue/Doyle - Wentworth
Tim Jones/James Bartelle - Curry

I know I'm leaving out a lot of people, no offense to anyone.  Just need to do more research and back up it with stats

Curry tops Colby-Sawyer 89-79 in OT tonight.

Senior Jon Chaloux became the Colby-Sawyer's 13th men's basketball player to register 1000 career points.

I apologize for not continuing the pick'em league. I've been applying and interviewing for med school, so I've been tied up. I can provide the stats and such if someone wants to take over... But I'm swamped, so I deeply apologize for getting your hopes up.

In any case...

UNE @ ENC

Undergrad at Gordon. But post-baccalaureate work at KU. And applying to KU Med... So I'm optimistic.

Are you planning to grace us with another smack-off post? They're always oddly gratifying.
