MBB: Conference of New England

[backboard]

One would imagine that St. Clair had more rebounds and blocks than Prezzie-Blue since he was a center.  But Prezzie-Blue can take over a game a little more effectively than St. Clair since he is a point guard.  Not to say St. Clair wasn't great and not dominant.  But he needed Colin Bray or whomever to pass him the rock.

[akirk]

By that same logic, shouldn't PB have more steals?  and more points?  In both cases St Clair have must better career numbers!  No one could stop him any of the four years he played.


And for the record, I am not a CSC fan.

And furthermore lets get back to this year.  There are only two more days of games.

seconded...

My first prediction...

WNEC tops Curry to move to the championship...

And here are four reasons why...

1) Asif Abdul-Wadud will hold Tim Jones to a maximum of 15 points. The Defensive Player of the Year will shadow him the entire game.
2) WNEC has the ability to shut down teams as a whole, forcing bad shots and out-rebounding opposing squads. I see Jones getting 15 (again, at most), Mastrullo and Bowers putting up 15 apiece and the rest of the team not doing much at all.
3) Kyle Fredette is hot. He put up 22 (i think) against UNE last night and he will do so again tomorrow. Another 20+ night from him with Maynard and Bayne rounding out the leading scorers for WNEC.
4) Curry is a rollercoaster team. They've been hot for a while, but seem to have reached their crest.

For those reasons, WNEC 72 - Curry 63

5. Curry's gym should not be responsible for hosting a championship game.

just want to point out Andrew St. Clair did play professional basketball after he finished his outstanding career at CSC, he played for the Northampton Neptunes in Northampton, England.

also the career that St. Clair had is uncomparable....

SPB has had a great career as well, but what St. Clair did was far more impressive in my mind

[CCC Talk]

Two phenomonal players no doubt.

St Clair has the clear advantage in stats and was the best big man I've ever seen in this conference.

I will give SPB the edge in what he acomplished with what he had around him...(though no fault of his own) Saint Clair had Colin Bray, James Thorpe, Condon, etc etc etc around him on very very good teams. SPB basically took a team consisting of one other all league type and a bunch of role players to the NCAA Tournament last year. Two great players and I will miss seeing SPB play just as I miss seeing St. Clair

Well Wentworth might get lucky with an ECAC bid, so it might not be the last of Prezzie-Blue.  But ever since his freshman year, every team he went up against had their defense strictly geared to stop him.  He was able to persevere over that and do more for his team than anyone in a while.  And one player did take his team to the NCAA's

[Bill Gorman]

In the 2004-5 and 2005-6 seasons, they did play against each other...
Can't find stats though...

No biggie...
Two amazing basketball players...

Congrats to Gordon on a great win last night.

Anybody putting a list of players up who got snubbed from an all-conference consideration?

that list would be long and distinguished...
every team could argue two or three players that deserve to be there...

anyone else have predictions about tomorrow?

Did I see someone trying to claim PB&J was the best player in conference history?


Wow.  That's either incredible dedication to one's school or a complete ignorance of history.


He's a decent ballplayer, but is severely limited when it comes to versatility.  He didn't really blossom until they brought in a PG good enough to move him over to the two.  He's a terrific guard and one of the best in the conference now, but the level of play has been down the past few years.

Do you follow your history?  He won Rookie of the Year on a team that had only one other good player, honorable mention, then back to back 1st team selections.  Not to a mention a Player of the Year award while a junior and some could argue that he could have won it this year (although he wouldn't have been the best pick).  Where did he fall off?  Was it when his team lost in the NCAA tourney?  Or when he scored 29 points in his last game?  I'm not saying that he's the best player in conference history by any means.  And as in terms of versatility, he's a little better than the average defender and does anything his team asks him to.

Why is everybody doubting Curry?  They are the #1 seed again an people still don't give them credit when its due! Ummm "Scout"!!!  I wonder do any of you even play Basketball or understand the game, yall are all talkin nonsense. 

Yea Curry lose to Endicott by 8 was the prediction and they won by 10

first of all... i do not doubt curry... they went 11-2 in conference, that is certainly worth something...

second, yes, i do understand basketball and the game... or else i wouldn't be here...

most importantly, i did not pick Endicott to outright WIN the game...
if you know anything about spreads, the point is to pick who will cover the spread... when i said Endicott (+8), that means that Curry was favored by eight points and I thought that Endicott would hold it closer than that... not necessarily win...

Curry could win on Saturday... I just don't think they will...
