MBB: Conference of New England

[Put_It_On_My_Tab]

Rome, it is fairly funny that you take what one person does in real life and copy it onto a message board.  How did you think of that? Genious I must say. 

You probably won't get this for another day or so since it will take that long for my computer to transmit the message since we only have dial-up here in Maine.  I love it..I love it. I love the fact that I have done nothing but state facts on this board and everyone else can't stand it. It just burns people to the core...the fact that UNE is good this year, people just don't want to hear it, so they throw out records of the past and games of the past. Oh, how I love it.  I love the fact that nobody is original these days and always reverts back to the joke that questions civilization in the state of Maine.

So now I will await another post that calls me out for sticking up for UNE and the good things that this team has done.  Fire away.

this is too ironic to let go...
using the most original rally cry in all of college sports in vein...


anyhow....
let me again reiterate the fact that UNE has beaten a SINGLE team with a winning record...
in games against teams with a winning record, UNE is 1-7...

again, you have earned praise from myself, at least, for going 6-2 so far in the CCC...
and i sure hope you take it to RWU...
but even then, and still right now, you cannot say you are 'good' just yet...

Ok...Rock, Chalk, Tabhawk is a joke. Play on words.....Put it on my tab is the theme.
Not that big of a deal.

I feel that if UNE was to beat RWU tomorrow and go 7-2 in conference and 13-8 overall with their schedule ......."good" would be a word that I could use to describe the team.

Hoops Fan...
where are you in our time of need for unbiased commentary???

No internet access for ten days and it seems things have gone crazy since I've been away.  I thought the board had quietly matured.  Honestly, though, since I've been reading back, the posts seem to be more than civil, even if they are hopelessly biased.

Face it, the CCC stinks this year.  There are no clearly dominant teams and even the ones with talent and experience aren't playing up to either one.  I haven't been able to follow things as closely as I would have liked to this season, so my usual flurry of out-of-left-field picks is probably not forthcoming.

One thing is for sure: the tournament will be crazy.  I'll give it another week or so before I really sit down and analyze it well.  We need to be a little closer to the end to know who's ramping up and who's falling off.

OK I'll say it...UNE is good.  Big deal, lots of "good" in TCCC. 

I'm just hoping that Hoopsfan is wrong (not often) and that TCCC doesn't stink. Although we won't know that until after the first game following the TCCC tourney.

My current theory is that parity is the word this year and with conference play finally getting interesting the real teams will step forward.

Last thought before todays results..."Rome" is the best entertainment on this site, humor & insight, keeps it honest and best of all, doesn't beat one hometown issue to death.

heading west, road trip

RWU beats UNE on a last second put back today 84-82.  RWU's Dan Gumb converted an offensive rebound with 1.9 seconds to go for the win.

I think this is enough for everyone to accept UNE can play with any team in the conference regardless of location.  there last 3 games against the cream of the CCC...

loss @ WNEC by 2 in OT
win @ WIT by 10
loss @ RWU by 2 in the final 2 seconds

now im all about the fact a win is a win, a loss is a loss, UNE has failed to win those 2 games.  But I think their consistent performance proves they are legit. 

side note for individual peformances, Jefferson of UNE poured in 33.

Two years ago, the best in the CCC was on par with the best in the LEC.  That is so far from the truth this season.  I don't doubt the conference can bounce back, but it's not going to be this year.

I think top to bottom the league is stronger you just aren't seeing the juggernaut style top teams like CSC or Plansky era Endicott. The thing is with 14 teams it's hard to maintain quality all the way through but even the lower level teams are certainly not nights off. So maybe the top shelf isn't on par with the top shelf in other leagues but there are definitely more teams that can win on a consistent basis.

That being said despite a scare for curry and a scare for endicott I am 100% so far on my picks for the rest of the season.

RWU - UNE - WOW what a game!!! 

Most valuable player for RWU? - the three zebras. 

Good thing they were "home town" referees - they were able to give me directions out of Bristol.

OK UNE-FAN...Blame it on the refs that is really original. Meanwhile Bashaw and Gumb were on the bench a good deal of the game because of tic tac calls and Barranger had 4 fouls. UNE was in double bonus long before RWU. Simple fact is that your guys got too aggressive down the stretch and were body checking the RWU guards on in bounds plays.

UNE is a good team and well coached but can't win it all unless Jefferson hits 7 tres everytime out. Even then it wasn't enough to beat RWU (with two starters on the bench). Until proven othewrwise RWU is still the conference leader.

Lets see what happens at Curry.



PS UNE-Fan - I guess the Giants beat your Pats because of the refs also.

Congratulations to Geoff Barranger..RWU for his 1,000 points the other day!!!!!!!

[Jacketfan2011]

That is a BOAT-LOAD of points in one day.

[CCC Talk]

Bill Brasky scored 2,100 points in a game once...

[James]

Nice to see everyone has a sense of humor. Lets try it again.

Congratulations to Geoff Barranger on hitting his 1,000 college career point milestone!!!

Congrats to RWU on a good win over UNE.  Big win.

Put it on their tab.
