WPI goes down to Salem. Makes you wonder about them this year. Does anyone know who they lost form last year, because I thought they were actually getting more talent with Kirkland coming in, and it doesn't seem like they are as good as last yr.

Pat i have a question for you becuase i respect our opinion seriously, what do u think about springfield college? i know there youn but i think they could do damage especially with pizzo and farley?

your thoughts

I haven't seen them personally play -- ever -- but when I was there for football two weeks ago the subject of basketball did come up and it was suggested that the team as a team might be better this year despite losing Yvon.

I can say from experience that if that were to happen, it would be far from the first time.

After watching a very impressive win by WPI against Elms I think that the loss against Salem State was a fluke. Don't get me wrong I think Salem State is a good basketball team but WPI did not play to their capabilities. WPI is showing a new look this year with a very good front line lead by Antoine Coleman and Ryan Bourque to go along with the sharp-shooting of Ryan Cain and the quickness of Jerome Kirkland. Once this team pulls it together they should run away with the Newmac.

Springfield finally got a big win beating trinty, they have a few new freshman getting there legs under them and Brock is doing his usual thing of playing everybody early. Look for them to get better and make a few surprises during the season

Babson fans,

Can anyone tell me what happened to David Votta?

Is he playing somewhere else?

Thanks.

Cain will be the pre-season first teamer who gets shut out at the end of the season. It's becoming a d3hoops.com tradition.

Perhaps our preseason picks were for the long haul rather than the opening weekend.

Scroll up the page and see what "all-around" has to say about Cain and Coleman. He's right on it. I was at the WPI/EC game last night. Coleman shot the effing lights out. Corbett, a 6'5" 200+ pounder shut Cain down for the first part of the game. For some reason, Endicott changed their defense (mainly because Coleman was electric from outside, then Cain started to move.
Cain had the quietest 30 points I've seen in a while. He didn't add much in the first half and got garbage points and foul shots (courtesy of A LOT of "reputation calls" from a horrible reffing crew). He didn't impress me as anybody's candidate for All-America. He was the third best guy on the floor for WPI.
He's good, but let's lightne up a little here.

C'mon Pat, you know I'm just messing around. You get so many things right, I have to bring it up when you make a hmmm, let's call it "bold" move.

cheeks14 · December 08, 2006, 05:30:36 PM

it doesn't matter who WPI's best player is.....with Coleman and Cain they have two players that can both light it up on any night. Coleman can pretty much do it all and Cain is starting to find his shot and is going the basket a lot more recently which has resulted in getting to the line where he has been automatic the past few years. They are a very difficult team to cover because if you try to take one of them out of the picture then the other one is gonna have a big night. Cain is starting to prove you doubters wrong and starting to show Pat that his preseason all-americans might have been accurate after all.

wow coast guard lost ot CCC cellar dweller Wentworth

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · December 11, 2006, 09:26:35 AM

Wentworth is a little better than cellar dweller and their sophomore point guard actually showed up for the first time this year, so they had some help.

I'm not sure how they overcame the height difference, but a good win for the CCC. While Coast Guard should be disappointed in themselves, they can probably avoid total humiliation. WIT is improved over last year.

Little help here guys ...

Doesn't anyone know what happened to David Votta?

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · December 11, 2006, 02:34:50 PM

I actually checked the other day and I couldn't find anyone who knew what happened to him. Granted, my connections around the NEWMAC are a little thin, but my best guess is that he's not playing anywhere this year.

Votta got cut from the babson team he came in overwieght and out of shape and i also heard he had a bad attitude. My highschool coache used to coach at Babson so that is a good and accrurate source.

So, he is still at Babson, just not playing? What a waste, didn't he have a decent season last year?

Thanks for the info.
