MBB: NEWMAC

[nescac1]

Yeah, I've been hyping Ross on the NESCAC board.  I think he will be a three-time all-American.  He is that good, the best frosh I've seen in the region since Flannery/Robinson back in 2014.  Springfield is gonna be nasty starting next year if all of their frosh stick around and develop as one would expect.  Ross will certainly be the centerpiece.  Springfield's deficiency right now is not talent, but severe lack of expeirence, which is reflected in the early season defensive struggles.

Comenale, Ross and Jomard both look like they can be all-region type wings next year. Should be fun to watch those three be center pieces for their teams. Who will WPI turn to for scoring next year? Thought they would struggle without Niba and don't see anyone right now stepping up to fill that void this year or next.

Babson jumps to #1 in the nation. Head to Chicago for a tough UAA match-up before the NEWMAC league play starts up. Looking forward to seeing who else steps up in league play -- Ross, Jomard, Jurko, Doncaster, etc...

Nice new website Dave and Pat!  Congrats.

Good win for WPI tonight. Congrats coming back from break strong, boys.

Classy move last night as Coach Bartley presented Coach Cain his Jostens Trophy for his office at Keene.  It had been proudly displayed for the last 10 years in WPI's trophy case!

As a Keene supporter, good luck to the Engineers in the rest of their season!

Likewise Allstar, I am Keene State fan the rest of the way!

HAHA - yep!

And thanks, though I just provide the "that isn't working" notes during testing. LOL

Though, I need to work to freshen up the Hoopsville page(s).

MIT built up an impressive lead over Babson in the first half.  That was the good news for the Engineers.
Babson came out in the 2nd half and lit up the house.  The Beavers were 18-23 late in the game.
Final 71-65.
Hard to picture anyone beating Babson.  They are deep, talented and have a bona fide D3 star.
But that is what highly competitive leagues are for.
Right?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

It's been amazing how many times this Babson team has been trailing at halftime, only to calmly come out and erase the lead right away.  They're very impressive.

[WPI89]

Agree with both of you - but I do not see them running the NEWMAC.  They will lose the second game to either Springfield, WPI, or MIT.

It should be interesting to see what happens the second time around in the NEWMAC! Babson has been very impressive playing from behind and the experience is surely there. MIT has impressed thus far even without Jomard.
