MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Curry pulls it out against Nichols (69-59).  Papalambros scored 26 and Jones had 15 (all in the second half).  Sheehan had 17 and Kuntz 18.  Good win for Curry, not great stats, but a win is a win.

WIT wins over UNE in a surprisingly close one, 58-54.  Terriault had 21.  Both teams shot over 40%, UNE hit 10-22 threes, probably helping to keep them close.

ENC got crushed by RWU, 73-49.  Ezigbo had major foul trouble and is currently ENC's only real offensive player, so that has to hurt.  Roger Williams went 21-24 from the FT line, which is most of the difference in the game (ENC was 2-4, three of them coming in the last thirty seconds of he game).  Mike McCoy had 11 and was the bright spot for ENC.

Stop the presses!

Gordon beats WNEC 63-56.  No boxscore yet, but this is amazing.

Apparently GC hit the boards.  Dempsey went for 22 and 10.  WNEC got 23 from Shaw along with 7 assists.  Gordon won the first battle of one man teams.  The rematch should be legendary.

Salve runs away from Endicott at the end, 76-64.  EC only got double figures from four players this time, along with 18 turnovers and it cost them.  Birrell had 24 with 7 assist.  Canova is proving to be a sharpshooter, going 5-9 from deep and taking no other shots from the floor.  He also had 6 boards and 4 assists.

Did Tim Tebow have something to do with this Gordon win?

I'm guessing that he did, probably about the same as Bryan Gaine for Wentworth's win on Wednesday

Another bizarro day in the CCC:

ENC over Wentworth 73-66.  Dombrowski had 18 in the losing effort.  Ezeigbo went for 20 and 11, Max Barbosa chipped in 24.  17 of those 44 points came at the FT line.

Gordon! beat Curry 64-55.  Dempsey had 19 and 7; some guy names Hans Miersma went for 11 and 15.  Curry got 20 out of Jones.  Gordon had 53 rebounds.

WNEC beat Nichols 64-60, to round out the 3-0 terrible team trifecta.  Things are never as they seem in the CCC.  WNEC wins despite 8 turnovers and only 12 points from Shaw.  Sheehan scored 19; it seems teams have founds ways to keep him in check a bit.

Salve over UNE 76-60.  UNE is just all around terrible; Salve got much of its scoring from the bench in this one.

Endicott over RWU 78-69.  Flannagan went for 22 and 13.  EC once again had five guys in double figures.  I believe they've had five in double figures in all of their wins - there might be a trend here.

Looks like Tim Tebow must have showed up again for the Gordon game. Watch out for Dempsey, player of the year candidate and the Fighting Scots. They are better than you think. Don't let the early losses fool you they just needed to get their feet under them. They will finish in the top 3 in the league.

Dempsey player of the year? For Wenham maybe

Dempsey player of the year? For Wenham maybe

Trust me, he has a tremendous amount of talent and now he is in the position on that team to be the go to guy and he has help this year to get it done.

ENC @ Lesley tonight.

Looking for a winning streak.

ENC @ Lesley tonight.

Looking for a winning streak.

No such luck for ENC, going down 58-66.  Ezeigbo had 15 rebounds and they got 18 off the bench from Mike McCoy (on 5-10 shooting from deep).  ENC should be adding back a couple of pieces after the holidays.  They should be much improved.  Hopefully the minutes earned early on by some of the bench guys will pay dividends later on.

Four teams in action Tuesday:

WNEC @ Westfield State
Nichols @ Clark
WIT hosts Connecticut College
Salve @ RIC

All four should be tests for our CCC teams.  Let's see how they do.
