WBB: Little East

[AllStar]

[SidelineHero]

Let's see what Dartmouth does in their 2 games against Eastern, and Boston does in their 2 games against Southern Maine, with round 1 encounters starting Wednesday.  Boston's lone conference loss is @ Eastern, and just because they won on the road @ Dartmouth I wouldn't necessarily put them in front of Dartmouth yet.  And don't rule out the Huskies of USM quite yet: they had the first game on the road @ Boston, @ Dartmouth & @ Eastern, meaning all 3 of those top tier teams come to Maine for the second half of the season (and already won @ Eastern), could be a key to who ultimately wins the league/clinches the 1 seed with a tie.  The Huskies are notoriously tough in Gorham, and usually have hometown zebra's, especially in big games.

I agree with everything you are saying.  However, as of right now, UMB is the top dog with their win over Mass Dartmouth. Also, you are right that this next week or two will be more pivotal on determining who's real and who is not real. My rankings next week will reflect whatever happens this week.  I am sure there will be changes.

Congratulations to Coach Ducharme on his 100th career win last night. He got it at home in a thrilling game against East Conn.  His team pulled through for him in an uphill battle all game.

On a side note, it is good to see a lot of parody in the top 4 teams in the LEC.  I am going to say this again, the LEC is becoming a much stronger conference!

You know the Beacons have come a long way when you can say a loss to a team they were winless against up until 2014 or 2015 is a "bad loss."  But that's where the Beacons are right now.  Followed up the win @ Dartmouth with a home loss to USM.  Just bases on what I said the other day with USM getting the 2nd games against Dartmouth, Eastern & Boston in Maine, they would be my favorite, especially with USM winning 2 of those 3 games on the road.

And than USM follows that up by losing to Keene, SMFH.  I give up!
