MBB: Great Northeast Athletic Conference

[GnacAlum55]

Ok, enough about volleyball and baseball.  This is a basketball board!  We know one of 5 schools will get in.  Are there any early predictions on who the best BASKETBALL team will be in the league next year (excluding the new TBA team.)
I saw a few this past year.  I really like Norwich and Emerson.  Any others?

[d3bballinboston]

haha  but the gnac isnt only just taking 1 school probally at least 2 maybe 3 as an FYI.  I think Suffolk will be the sleeper team next year. and probally emmanuel

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

It will be either St Joe's of Lasell if either one gets in.

[GnacAlum55]

No way more than 1 gets in - I'll bet you.

Emmanuel won 17 league games, so I bet they'll be good.

Only 2 first teamers return, Hammond (SVC) and Murphy (Suffolk), so it looks like who ever brings in the best class should have a shot. 

Emerson really defends, so don't count them out.

What about Webster, will they win a game?

[d3bballinboston]

haha DWEB... if they get a 6-7 center who wants to study aviation then yes they will win a game.  LOL

[THE BIG MAN]

look out for the svc boys they are ready to play with the best

[d3bballinboston]

enough of SVC already.  they are freaking awful

[GnacAlum55]

SVC did have a very talented starting 5 this year - probably as good as I saw in the league.  The problem looked like they had no depth.  If they add some guys, they could be dangerous.  But who knows, it is SVC.....

[d3bballinboston]

dweb has a better shot at getting better players. Nashua is much better then Bennetigon

[GnacAlum55]

But webster has some admssion standards.  With an enrollment of 300, anyone can get into SVC!  That's why they can get players.  A last chance outpost 

[d3bballinboston]

true good point.  amazing how a college survives on only 300 students. they must be losing a lot of money every year.  no wonder the GNAC doesnt want SVC anymore

[dman]

did you guys forget that svc won the gnac three years ago, and won its first game in the ncaa's???

[GnacAlum55]

That was 3 years ago.  A lot has changed.  Did you see that their baseball team lost 29-0 this weekend?  Women's basketball is bad too.  Men's basketball is the only sport that they are competitive in.  They probably shouldn't be in the GNAC if the league wants to upgrade. 

[d3bballinboston]

YAH their baseball team is bad.  thats why they added Men's volleyball so they can phase that team out. Once MVB takes off.  At least thats what their ad hopes happens.

Where's that coach and those players?
