Three Thoughts: Bryant 80, Saint Francis University 54
Tim O’Shea came into the media room after Bryant’s 80-54 dissection of NEC rival Saint Francis University Thursday night and said simply, “A little better than the last game, huh?” Continue reading “Three Thoughts: Bryant 80, Saint Francis University 54”

Three Thoughts: FDU 75, LIU Brooklyn 69
We may never be sure this season about the talent Greg Herenda has at Fairleigh Dickinson, just two years into a majot rebuilding project, and having graduated the player who led the Knights back to the NEC Tournament last season in Sidney Sanders.
But just two games into the 2014-15 NEC campaign, we do know this: FDU is not going to lie down and accept its fate, and if you’re going to beat them, you better make sure the job is done.

Three Thoughts: St. Francis Brooklyn 63, Bryant 47 (The Amdy Fall Show)
As good as we are with advanced statistics, we haven’t quite gotten to shots adjusted or changed yet (it’s surely coming soon). The stat sheet told part of the story Monday afternoon, as Amdy Fall finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks as St. Francis Brooklyn suffocated Bryant 63-47 to move to 2-0 in the NEC.

Three Thoughts: St. Francis Brooklyn 73, Sacred Heart 71
Leadership bringing intangibles to the party, but just what are intangibles? And what exactly is leadership?
Alas, even KenPom can’t help us there, but St. Francis Brooklyn gave us a pretty good idea Saturday afternoon in its NEC opener. The Terriers, picked to win the NEC for the first time (they’ve never won, either, obviously), found themselves down 18 late in the first half at upstart Sacred Heart, who was looking to get the last vestiges of a 2-14 NEC (and 5-26 overall) campaign out of their mouths.

NEC Power Rankings – Version 2
With NEC play excitedly beginning tomorrow, John and I felt now was a perfect opportunity to revise our NEC Power Rankings from a few weeks ago. Continue reading “NEC Power Rankings – Version 2”
Three Thoughts: Yale 70, Sacred Heart 64
I’ve (pretty much unsuccessfully) tried to start the #RoadGamesAreHard hashtag this season, so I should have been less surprised than most to see Yale struggle to put away Sacred Heart Tuesday afternoon. They finally did 70-64 to go to 10-4 on the season, but it wasn’t pretty to watch, with 20 turnovers (in 64 possessions) and a spirited rally from an improved Pioneer team late.
