MBB: Conference of New England

[24/7/365]

Anyone want to question whether GC has the best fans?  Anyone?

[617primetime]

Wow, sounds like GC could be trouble again next year. i thought they were older

[Maq Diesel]

Allworld41, bitter much.  I have seen more angles of the play, than most reffs do when reviewing a call in the NFL.  Butler choked, he was holding the ball like a loaf of bread and Vogelzang got all ball, the only bear hugs were when the crowd rushed the floor.

Also as for Gordon yeah they are going to be very good next year, they are lossing three guys who bring a lot of leadership, but there are other players on the bench who are good but there are not enough minuets for them this year.  Remeber Tim Deluca he is a frosh and might be the best in his class when all is said and done.  But with that said, Gordon is going to be good for a long time because Schauer and Martin are very good coaches but their best talent is recruiting, look out for great recuiting classes for years to come.

I put together a lil video after the GC Nichols game, it has a couple of different camera angles and I believe it captures accurately the atmosphere of the Bennett center in the last 24 seconds of the game. Take it for what you will, here is the link.

Anyone want to question whether GC has the best fans?  Anyone?

Umm, wasn't there a discussion last week about how GC would have trouble filling the gym if students have to pay?  I think that answers your question right there.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Hey, did anyone notice that there are actuall conference semi-final games going on tonight?  Even better, they are only five minutes apart from each other.  Too bad they are both tipping at the same time.

CSC @ GC

WIT @ EC


It's three letter abbreviations vs two letter abbreviations from the beautiful Massachusetts North Shore--Vogelzang, Marinkvoic...CCC playoff basketball...it's fantastic!

I just posted a new video, it will actually be up on Gordon's site sometime today. But here is the link to mine. Enjoy!

Firefox won't let me view it, apparently there isn't a Quicktime 7 plugin for Firefox yet.

Hey Hoops I just watched the link with firefox....not sure why its not working for you.  Hopefully the Gordon website will have the link up later and you can watch it there.

Pretty good viewing of vogelzang steal on the video if people want to make their own conclusions, really not sure how you could say it was a foul though.

As for the fans, I was never worried about Gordon filling up the gym, someone did bring that point up but the Bennet center was packed on Tuesday.  I think you have to give the Gordon fans some props, we've been consistent pretty much the whole year.

Its gonna be a great night on the North Shore

The video gets better and better with each viewing, it's like a nice aged wine. 

Is Butler on suicide watch?

Let's stop talking about Tuesday night and let's shift out attention to tonight.  Beating Nichols was fun but there is no rest when CSC is on the horizon.  Let's go Gordon!

[ccc #1 player]

No one is talking about tonights game for Gordon, cause they are scared.  The highlight of their season occured Tuesday and obviously you are all going milk that for as long as you can.  It is obvious that GC has never won a big game by seeing the reaction of the fans after Gordon beat a lower ranked team.  Act like you have won a game before...esecially a first round game against a lesser opponent.   Ussually you rush the court if A you are the underdogs and beat a ranked team, like Villanova over UConn, or B you win a Championship...not a first round game! I'll be at the Gordon game tonight and expect to see them on their heels after nearly losing in the first round.  They're going to be real shaky and flustered.  St. Clair for POY and he will continue to pull down boards all the way through the CCC playoffs into the NCAA and will get to 1000!!!

[dwebbs]

Well then thank goodness we have you to tell us how Gordon is feeling.

They already beat CSC twice this year. This might be the playoffs, but I doubt anyone is scared.

St. Clair/Marstaller will be a good match up, but i don't think the Kaufman/Bray one is even an issue anymore. I haven't seen Bray since CSC went on this streak everyone has described, but Kaufman won the match up hands down both games this year. I would suggest that Marstaller has been playing better defense on St. Clair this year, but I don't want to get shot.

Nichols is just a tough match up for Gordon with their three big guys. The game was an amazing comeback win. Down by 14 with less than 9 left to play, and to have it end the way it did, it deserves to be talked about and why not rush the floor while we're at it?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Hey #1, you are right, Gordon's team hasn't won a big game before, that's kind of part of the excitement that's been going around this season.

Butler had a great career at Nichols; it's not like they would have gone any further anyway.  I'm sure he's doing fine.

[roy_williams]

i guess i'll just have to assume that since you are the self proclaimed #1 player in the CCC you probably have serious insecurity issues and needed to find a stretch to make yourself feel good about tonight. i mean hey, Gordon did wax your team two times already. therefore i'll give you a pass on the fact you couldn't parlay your vast knowledge of basketball (ranging from CCC action to the big Monday top 10 tilts you watch because Sportscenter told you so) into reason C for rushing the court: Miracles. If a team is down 5, with 24 seconds left in a 'win or seasons over' game...then events such as Tuesday night unfold...well you if you are a red blooded college kid...you rush the court. 6 points in 12 seconds? steal the inbounds, convert the game winner....make a 4 point play? who cares who is playing who? you can't script something like that. if you win, you're dancing baby!

what else is there to say about tonight's game? the teams have already met twice. we know what's gonna happen. yada, yada, yada. we know what GC has to do to win, and we know what CSC needs to do to win. it's all been said. the predictions are in. Thorpe could be a wildcard, but hoops has touched on that. St. Clair will get his, he always does. the win when he scores, they lose when he scores. trust me caedmon's call, Kaufman will handle Bray (kid ate himself out of the league years ago). To win CSC will need someone besides the Saint to step up, and they have to shut down GC's perimeter game (by defense or more likely praying for a bad shooting night). Gordon plays their game they win. Simple as that. If they don't they are in trouble. They have proved how to beat CSC. They know how they beat CSC twice this season, so they do those things again--see ya Saturday. 

saying that the team Gordon is scared because its fans (who won't be playing tonight) are on a message board creating montages of the greatest game in Bennett Center history and probably the greatest win thus far in the Gordon basketball history is a bit of false hope. boring 'been there done that' drivel about things that have been talked about so much between CSC and GC is not that exciting to posters. like i said before we all know what to expect. if you want to generate more conversation about tonight's game come with something better than a quadruple exclamation laced St.Clair will win POY (groundbreaking) and get 1,000 rebounds in the ECAC's, statement.

Gordon did wax your team two times already.

I thought #1 was an Endicott guy, not CSC.
