MBB: Great Northeast Athletic Conference

[deiscanton]

The Albertus Magnus buzzer beater just made ESPN SportsCenter tonight.  It was shown just now at around 6:58 PM Eastern just before they went to the UConn women's basketball game.  It was SportsCenter's closing highlight-- noted that Albertus Magnus then lost to DeSales by 33 points in the second round.

For his accomplishments at Norwich his trophy was never awarded to him, how lame is that? ANy idea if Booth ever got over this loss? Positive responses on this kid at the Newell Camp this year....

How is everybody doing? Alot of stuff must have happened in the league. Does anyone have a preview and/or a recruiting review?

[Emerson_fanatic]

who are the top dogs this year? Albertus certainly at the top, how does everyone else shape up? AND has anyone heard if Emerson has any new pieces after huge losses with rouse and shannon?

Shannon & Rouse are huge losses as they combined for 34.3 ppg, 12.5 rpg and ~7 apg. I'd expect Tom Messinger to step up and more than double his ppg total from last year of 8.0. He took 155 3pt shots at a 44% clip...that's warrants attention in any conference. If his team can get him the ball in good situations then he should be able to replace at least one of the two graduated top scorers.

Friends   Could you give a shout-out if a 10-11 roster gets posted?  Thanks!

Basketball officially begins tomorrow. I am sure that rosters will be updated on most athletic websites by the end of the month. It should be a fun year. I will also look to see if the GNAC does a conference preview.

Anyone know why only 7 min from Lora and no Askew in the Albertus/CGA game last night? 

[34whistle]

Really surprised with the preseason rankings.  I expected Albertus to be ranked number 1, but shocked that Lasell didn't even make the top 8. Anyone else surprised by that?

[GnacAlum55]

I guess I'm not too surprised that Lasell is not in the top 8.  They lost their conference opener to Suffolk at home.  I am more surprised at Emerson being picked so high after losing Shannon and Rouse.  I know they always play hard, but those are major losses for the Lions.

What's going on in the GNAC this season? There are some good wins and bad losses overall, but has anyone seen the teams play? Albertus has had only 2 games, how did they look? Emerson got a quality win over Babson, how do they look without Shannon and Rouse? Riv beat Colby-Sawyer, not a bad start. Good to see Suffolk is back; haven't seen that name atop the GNAC standings in a few years. Any big games coming up?

Askew did not play in the first game. Coaches decision.... Lora wasn't feeling well.

I saw Albertus on Sunday. They beat a very athletic becker team. Albertus can score; they have 7 players who can put up double digit points. Askew will be mentioned for player of the year again because he can score inside and out. They got bigger in the front court by adding Watson. Lora looks like he lost 10 pounds and is in better condition. Everyone will be gunning for Albertus this year. Should be some very good game. If Albertus can defend the way they did at the end of last year, they should be in the top 3 again this year. They lost one player from last year's team, this team is more experienced. Now they start 1 senior, 3 juniors, and a sophomore. They also have 3 sophomores and a freshmen on their bench rotation.

I would love to hear what else is going on in the GNAC.

Anyone know what happened with Rivier and Norwich last night?  Game was listed on their schedules, but I couldn't find a result.
