MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Curry wins 77-67.

Gonna be a good game on Saturday; too bad I won't be able to watch it.

Gordon beats Colby-Sawyer 77-58
Curry beats Wentworth 77-67

Gordon hosts Curry for the 2010 TCCC Championship.  I was hoping for Wentworth to win so Gordon could avenge the 2007 upset at the hands of Sherrad Prezzie-Blue, but the game is monumental nonetheless as Gordon finally gets to the championship.  This is huge for that program.

If Curry plays this style against Gordon, they'll lose by 30. More on that later

Gramatically, your sentence says that Curry will lose by 30. But I think you meant Gordon, correct?

No sir.

Curry played a zone basically all game (at least 95% of the time).  They took away Wentworth's greatest strength which is their interior size and power.  Sam Herrick (1st team CCC), Shane West and Matt Abbott (both 2nd team CCC) were all held to a total of 9 points.  9 POINTS!

Jarrell Jackson played out of his mind tonight.  He didn't shoot it great (8-18), but he was unstoppable moving around the court. 

Wentworth's guards, while pretty talented, were left alone to carry the team.  The inside-out game just became an out game (29 three's for Wentworth).

Now if Curry plays like that vs. Gordon, the GC guards will have a field day.  First of all, the GC guards are more fundamentally sound and stronger with the ball in the hands.  Second, those guards will each score 20 points a piece in the first half vs. that zone.

That had to have been one of the top 5 greatest games in TCCC within the past decade

My apologies. I assumed incorrectly.

According to the live stats, Mastrullo had three fouls, one a tech, called on him all at once.  We'll have to wait for an in person report.  A minute to go and Curry may be falling apart.

Correct.  He got called for a foul, which was his 4th, and picked up his 5th on a technical.  Curry played well tonight...Jackson and Mastrullo were key.  Wentworth did everything it could to come back.

Should be an interesting one on Saturday.  Good luck to both teams!

One of the top 5 games I have witnessed - in all sports - in my 14+ years at Wentworth.

It was a great game...if you're a Wentworth fan

While at Gordon at the time, I would put it in the top five games I've seen. (KU-Memphis is number one).

I was disappointed in the result, but Prezzie-Blue was/is a class act, a top talent, and just a great guy. He went for 30+ in that game and was the singular reason the Leopards won. Everyone knew it as he/she left the gym.

Prezzie-Blue, St. Clair., Aaron Trigg, Tim Jones, and Mike Herr... I'd take that team any day.

No offense to Mike Herr, but he couldn't be more out of place on that team.  If you're looking for another big man/forward, I'd go with Raheim Lamb

You got me. I was looking for a versatile guy... Lamb works.

Otherwise, pretty solid selections though, right? ;-)

It's tough leaving out Josh Oxton and Matt George, but EC had no representation this year, so they lose out

Great list otherwise

Others more than deserving:  Todd Doyle, Pat Quinn, Ryan Jaziri, Marinkovic

[number1chargerfan]

I said Trigg and Bajema had to show up and boy did they ever..Chargers couldn't get a stop, or hit the threes, and the short bench proved to be their downfall. One cure is over, Gordon's in the Championship, let's see if they get the other monkey off their back.


Just wanted to say thanks to all you veterans out there for making my 5 years at CSC much more interesting, and I'll probably still check in to see what people are saying and what not, maybe even chime in if needed. Thanks guys!

I thought it was a great game, period.  http://www.wit.edu/athletics/varsity/basketball_m/0607/mbbgm27.htm

No offense to Pat Quinn and Ryan Jaziri who are both guys I played with at NEC, but they shouldnt be on this list.  The CCC in the last 10 years has just had too many talented players, especially guards.  If you mentioned Dennis Dube (who was the all time leading scorer at NEC before Jaziri) and an absolute beast in the paint I may agree
