MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I wouldn't think that CSC would be too keen to play hard beyond the 2 boards, but it is against Keene, which will help them be ready to play.

"St. Clair Named First-Team Academic All-America" see the CSC website for the article.

That's a huge honor.  It's not just D3 either, there is a lot of competition.  Congratulations to all the St Clairs who may be viewing this page right now.

okay, okay, okay.  Lets honor St. Clair and the fam all at once when the season has ended, he's grabbed his 1,000 boards, and they win the ECAC.  I don't think I could take the week long St. Clair celebration.  He does deserve to be praised, but lets save it for one big parade.

Apparently there is a guy who does his own top 25 poll, plus 50 more (or something like that, I didn't get the whole story).  He has GC at 54th and Utica at 55th in the nation.  Again, this is just some guy, who I do not believe is affiliated with the NCAA DIII committee, but you have to assume a guy like that knows a thing or two about college basketball.  If his assessments are close if not true, Fridays game is that more exciting.

By the way, as a fan who has never had a team in the NCAA tourney, I have found that there is only so many things you can go over for 5 days before the teams actually play.  My brain is fried just tryn' to think about topics of discussion.

Anyone else have new information they want to bring to the table?

Someone brings new information to the table, with an actual game tonight and a major accomplishment by a player from one of the member schools, and you blow it off....

You should have rephrased your question, does anyone want to glorify Gordon some more, because that's really what you're asking.

And frankly, I wouldn't be real proud of having Gordon ranked 54th in the nation, especially considering there's only 59 teams that got into the tournament, that'd mean that there's only five teams worse than them that got in.  Doesn't say much for the Gordo's chances, does it?

If you're referring to Smed, he does that strickly by the numbers.  He uses a computer program to compile various rankings and strength of schedule to provide a power amalagamation.  Sometimes it can be way off, but for the most part it's pretty accurate.

First off what is wrong with a father and brother celebrating the accomplishments of a son/brother? So we bring it to the attention of others? Big deal. Are we gloating? Yes and very proud of his accomplishments as well.

Here's an idea, why don't we continue to talk about the drunk EC fans, or maybe we can jump on the Gordon bandwagon? If all the chatter and praise bothers you than so be it. Go ahead and change the subject, but do it without a smarta$$ remark. No one cares to read it and it's unneccessary.

What the heck happened here?  This whole week has been like a 10 car pileup on the CCC Board... and its only Wednesday!!

[akirk]

Hoops,

I think it's due to the lack of games to talk about.  That should change tomorrow.

[jps920]

With that being said. Next.

So what do people think about the conference awards? I've been reading this board for 4 years and I've never seen this pass by so fast without a few good arguments for and against players.

[24/7/365]

anECfan,

Do you have any contact with the current players for EC?  If so, what are they feeling about the game on Friday? 

Does anyone know whether EC will be leaving tomorrow for the game, or if they will be heading out early Friday morning?  That decision could prove costly either way.

and jps920.  Dude, woman, whatever, chill for a second.. I was actually hoping we could give The Saint his praise all at once.  Doing it through out the week doesn't due him justice because all of it falls through the cracks.  Easy there tiger.

We did a lot of that leading up to the awards.  I think consensus was it sucks to have four post players and shooting guard on the first team.  They should have gone by position.

I'm starting to get a kick out of cstrike's posts.  It's like he sits around all day reading all the posts just waiting for a Gordon kid to post something semi-controversial and then jumps all over them while sucking up to everyone else.  Only on the CCC discussion board, you gotta love it.

Jps920,

As 24 said I don't think he was trying to be critical of St. Clairs accomplishments, just think it came out wrong.  But hey, being a older brother allows you to be a little defensive.  Wouldn't worry about it to much though, when the Saint gets his 2 boards tonight he'll get his on the board.

 i have an evan better idea...look it does  not make any difference ec,csc or gc. thay have all gotten into a playoff and they are from the ccc.you may not like that school or go to another or be a x player but what the heck, its our conference. lets just hope that is us, that win or go as far as we can.if your school is one thats against the other,so be it, but dont down the conference.we want to get as fas as we can go.it may not be your school but its still something to be proud about.............and ya sometimes a family member does talk to much about things but just go on about whatever it is you want to talk about...good luck to ccc teams...........
