Some other GNAC scores for tonite...
Lasell 84 Norwich 64
Emmanuel 80 Rivier 70
Johnson and Wales 87 Mount Ida 35
Southern Maine 71 St Joes 69

appears to be a 6 team race at this point with Emmanuel/Emerson being the favorite but Lasell seems like a scary team, one i certainly wouldn't want to face in an elimination game, they opened the season up 4-1 then dropped 6 straight and have now won 4 in a row, looking at the remainder of their schedule they could win out rather easily if they can knock off emmanuel in mid february, otherwise this team should cruise....

Yet another chance to crack the rankings falls short for Emerson...

game story made it sound like a fun watch...emmanuel hit a 3 at buzzer to win...details?

crazyecbballfan823 · January 26, 2008, 10:29:19 PM

Emmanuel was down 29 of the 40 minutes of the game and there were like 9 lead changes and 8 ties. Williams-Hinton hit the 3-point buzzer beater and Rookie Buchanan had 16 pts for the game. Great comeback by Emmanuel who had 12 of their 20 offensive rebounds in the last 5 minutes of the game.

looks like emmanuel is putting all the pieces together... i guess last year's runner up might have a solid chance to win it this year...don't hold your breath tho, i believe 2 years ago they were 17-1 in conference and lost in the semi's...we'll see if they can finish this year

crazyecbballfan823 · January 27, 2008, 02:59:56 PM

Emmanuel is a completely different team this year than they were last year and two years ago... I wouldn't say that it was a matter of "holding your breath" but more of waiting to see Emmanuel continue playing as well as they are

UnsungHero11 · January 28, 2008, 01:00:23 PM

"completely different"?....no, they have a lot of returners and, most importantly, the same coach. We'll see what happens come playoff time.

crazyecbballfan823 · January 28, 2008, 04:58:02 PM

Yep, you're right... we'll see.

While I will not mention names for confidentiality sake, I would not be an honorable person if I did not make you all aware. After putting up 25+ points tonight, a certain Emerson player lost in an arcade basketball game to a 5'7 runner with no real basketball talent, but who set the high score.

UnsungHero11 · January 30, 2008, 01:08:51 PM

Those arcade basketball games can be VERY addicted, and can burn a hole in your pocket. my highest score ever was 81.
