WBB: NESCAC

<sigh>

Folks, we already beat the "Coffin Fifth Year" thing to a pulp last spring. She got hurt and she really likes basketball, so she's massaging her timeline. Whatever. She is/was a great player, but this ain't gonna swing the balance of the power in the conference. Just a kid trying to maximize the college experience. I don't know Coffin from Eve and I dislike Bates more than Hillary Clinton, but this is a non-issue.

There is no other explanation for Nescac Hoops' comment other than he is still in love with Meg. That post was far too gratuitous to not be from a scorned suitor.

It appears Nancy has been dipping into the Manischewitz again. It's the NESCAC board, Nance. Just because you have an incoherent UAA story vaguely related to the current topic doesn't mean it's time for an update to your 'unofficial' New England rankings. Shouldn't you be instant messaging Karon about when you're picking him up at O'Hare?

Balder, great catch on the new Flaherty. Didn't even cross my mind. Alas, judging by the box score, the next edition may need a couple of years to match the previous. However, I'm not sure if Arcadia (?) was a good indicator. Arcadia. I looked at the schedule and they only played two games last year (according to D3hoops.com). I think I've camped there a couple of times. Blackwoods, to be specific. Maybe the campus is in Winterharbor.

fm, perhaps my last post was inappropriate. as i have said before, when you go to a nescac school it is for an education - future employers, etc may not understand sports dedication and why it took her 5 years to complete college. i also really cherished my senior year and graduating with my classmates, something that meg will miss out on. as for being a "scorned suitor"....i'm trying my hardest to bite my tongue on this one but ill just say that her brother received a number of chants at lefrak in amherst, ma regarding the coffin genetics.

Also, the gratuitous Manischewitz comment was a wondeful touch, but then again not unexpected from the great white state of Maine.

The Amherst women start off with an eye-popping 98-33 victory over CCNY. Hopefully this is indicative that the new coach has them moving in the right direction, and not that CCNY is really, really bad.

Well, it seems that the Williams Women will have a very long season as they lost to WNEC!!!!! Correct me if I am wrong but WNEC was about .500 last year.

nescac1 · November 18, 2007, 11:24:56 AM

Ephs are very young ... they started two frosh (both of whom look promising based on their stats) and have two more frosh in the rotation ... might take them awhile to gell with only one returning starter and lots of new players, definitely will be a rebuilding year, it all depends how quickly the frosh acclimate.

feces monkey · November 18, 2007, 12:10:21 PM

Nescac1's take on Williams could be applied to Bowdoin, as well, although I don't think the Polar Bears are quite as young as the Ephs. Bowdoin was dismantled yesterday, especially on the offensive glass. Both Williams and the Pbears may take a bit to figure out the new personnel. Or something.

Early season prediction for the league:

1. Tufts
2. Bates
3. Bowdoin
4. Wesleyan
5. Williams
6. Amherst
7. Middlebury
8. Colby
9. Conn. College
10. Trinity

I think the league will be more balanced this year, but not as powerful (nationally) at the top.

Balder Eagle · November 18, 2007, 12:25:55 PM

Monkey good (read) to see you

Thanks for the kudo.
I agree Bowdoin will have to sort out is plan. Never underestimate Coach Pemper, she gets the most out of her girls as Coach Finney does at Marymount (CAC.)

pureshooter · November 19, 2007, 11:17:02 AM

FM,
i see you have tufts at the top. as i said,they have a d-1 transfer playing the 5, along with the other 6-1 post player. but you can run on them.

pureshooter · November 19, 2007, 11:25:14 AM

BALDER, pemper is a good coach. if a coach has a really good system and schemes they run, they will get the most out of whatever talent they have.of course, good coaches know what to do in tight games with a few minutes to go.
talent makes a good coach great.

nescac1 · November 19, 2007, 05:56:31 PM

Looks like Williams has a stellar frosh class ... and could end with frosh as three of their four top scorers. C. Jackson in particular put up ridiculous numbers (21 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 67 % from two and 5/8 from 3) this weekend. Two other frosh each averaged over 10/6. Of course, too early to judge just how good they are until better competition in league play, but the Ephs may be better than expected this season, if the young players grow up fast to make up for the lack of experience on the roster.

papabear · November 20, 2007, 08:17:18 PM

Sorry folks been away for a few days, I missed the polar bears get beat by Rochester thankfully. I think I was dead on with my prediction this team is immature, and not nearly as skilled as past teams. I can not recall Bowdoin women losing by double digits never mind 20+.Pemper is a good coach but she has never won the big game. She just likes to kick back and relax during the game not a micro manager at all, it also helps when you have such enormous talent in Justine Porevoluis in the past and Flaherty, Cummings, Loonin, and Berne while she was on the roster. This will be a tough season for the polar bears and Joshua's tavern has nothing on Sea Dogs stay tuned.

goubears89 · November 21, 2007, 03:14:14 PM

Papabear, in the interest of the holiday season, I am going to try and hold back from responding to your absurd comment about Stef Pemper. To say she likes to "kick back and relax" is ridiculous. True, there is no clear leader as she's had in the past with Myers-Mayol-Royer-Trenkle-Pourevelis-Flaherty, but the season is young, and I think over time there are a number of candidates who could step up. Maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but are you inferring that Pemper should start micromanaging? Will that really improve a young team that needs to find itself and its leader?
