WELCOME TO THE DEVILS DEN

What a week for the Northeast Conference! The league went 10-7 as a whole, it's first week with a winning record, and easily exceeded expectations (Kenpom had a win expectancy of ~7 for NEC teams). 

The schedule is about to get mighty quiet as we head into finals, then...

Head Coach Rob Krimmel has certainly gotten things rolling in Loretto. Krimmel took over for Don Friday, who went a combined 23-48 in NEC play in four seasons, in 2012 and has gradually improved the program; from the #330 ranked Kenpom team in 2013 to #214 in 2018, and...

On Sunday, Central Connecticut State put together its best 40-minutes of basketball. No, it wasn't a good 40-minutes of basketball; they lost 73-71 at UMass-Lowell, which was just 2-5 against D1 teams coming into the game with a win over LIU and a loss to Merrimack. Wa...

The Bryant Bulldogs have been off to a promising start, going into their game against New Hampshire sitting at 4-3, with the losses coming at an average of 7 points. Unfortunately, last Tuesday night was no different. After battling back from 14 down with a little over...

Welcome to the first Northeast Conference Weekly Recap of December. I'm now calling this the Mid-Range Jumper; it's not ideal, but sometimes it's the best you can get.

This week's review comes to you a day late as I spent my weekend at Mohegan Sun watching Virginia win the Air Force Reserve Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament, as well as watching CCSU lose two games by 30-points each.

It was a busy weekend in the NEC world, so let's get t...

One team left the Pitt Center with their first win as a team and the other left with their first loss on the early season. Sacred Heart was able to get back to their offensive ways Tuesday night in their home opener. Shooting 50% from the field, they controlled the gam...

The first two weeks were, quite possibly, the worst case scenario for the Central Connecticut State men’s basketball team, right? I mean, outside of a catastrophic injury, the first four games couldn’t have gone much worse; they lost 74-59 on opening night to a Hartfor...

After the Northeast Conference went a cumulative 3-19 in the first week, the second week of non-conference play was much better from a record standpoint; 6-19 overall, which actually met expectations (5.7 wins) according to Kenpom.

Team of the Week: Saint Francis

After o...

No scoring records were at risk Wednesday night at Rose Hill Gym in the Bronx in the matchup between the Rams & the Knights. Both teams struggled to put that little round ball in the hoop, which set up for a physical battle down the stretch. A late three point attempt...
