ENC gave up the big lead in the second half, but got it back in time to win.  They'll be the #2 seed, Gordon the #3.

#8 Western New England at #1 Nichols
#7 Wentworth at #2 Eastern Nazarene
#6 Roger Williams at #3 Gordon
#5 Endicott at #4 Salve Regina

Post-season awards out today.  Pretty much as expected.

I have to admit I didn't see Bardwell coming for ROY.  I suppose with Roger Williams struggling so much this season I didn't pay attention well enough.

I still don't get why we have a six-man first team, but I'm old enough now to believe "the more, the merrier."  I'm glad seniors like Mayo and Thomas got on the end of the list.  The coaches always do a great job of recognizing solid careers.

Nichols and Gordon both win easily.

Gordon will host one more game, as Wentworth tops ENC.

Endicott and Salve are very close with ten minutes to go.

Salve and Endicott played another great game in Newport tonight.  Scott St. Lawrence made one of two free throws with .8 of a second left to give the Seahawks a 77-76 win to advance to the semifinals on Thursday.  Lachlan Magee had a wide open look from 20 feet with 4 seconds remaining but Salve rebounded the miss, pushed the ball up the court and St. Lawrence was fouled on a drive.  Barett Hanlon led all scorers with 31 and Patrick Dineen added 25.  Endicott's scoring was much more balanced with four players in double figures led by John Heenault's 19.

19 ties and 16 lead changes in this game.  It was a shame to see one of these two teams lose.

Absolute joke to have a 6 man first team and an EIGHT man third team.

Just give EVERYONE a trophy.

The 6th person on the first team could very well be the MVP.

Yeah, they pick an MVP and then do a five man first team.  That's never made much sense to me, but I'm happy an extra kid gets the honor.

As for the eight man third team, I suspect there are ties involved.  I don't remember that happening before.

Yah.  They do that with the LEC.  They pick a 5 man first team and place the MVP in there as the 6th person, so I kinda figured it was the same here too.

Congratulations to Gordon winning the CCC Championship at Nichols, 69-65.  Nichols had a 17 point lead with about 10 minutes to go and Gordon finished the game on a 30-9 run.  Should be interesting to see who they draw in the tournament.

GC goes to Nichols and wins the NCAA bid.  Almost no chance Nichols gets in.  I was concerned with how boisterously the NC faithful celebrated their semi-final win.  Never a good idea to go nuts over getting to a game you were supposed to get to.

At 17-10, Gordon is going to have one of the worst records in the tournament.  I would not be surprised to see them at Amherst or Williams next Thursday.  They're going to be the de facto 15 or 16 seed.

Agreed, Nichols seemed way too excited about their semi-final win. The fact that Salve took them to overtime in their house should've been concerning not something to celebrate. Didn't get the chance to see today's game but it's really a shame that Nichols did lose. Not a huge Lindgren fan, I think he needs to be an assistant for a few more years to mature but he can coach. But Nichols and Sheenan were really the conferences best chance to get a win in the tournament. They probably would've gotten a decent draw and gone against a East Conn-Springfield type team and would've had a chance to win. Instead we're going to have Gordon sent to either Amherst or Trinity where they will get blown out.

Lindgren in way over his head- given a high powered car and just had to not crash it. Instead you got tire tracks a bent guardrail and Gordon in the NCAAs

Exactly, the lack of defense the team plays and their general demeanor is what you'd expect from having a 25 year old coach. I think he has the potential to move up but he should really be on a D-2 staff as an assistant.

I would not bet on either team, but Gordon will have a better shot than Nichols at competing and winning in round 1.

1. They have an elite shot blocking center.
2. They have a veteran coach.
3. They have not lost a road game since December.
