WELCOME TO THE DEVILS DEN

This week is the first of two 3-gameday weeks, as there are NEC games on Wednesday, Saturday, and Monday. So adjust your schedule accordingly, we have a lot of hoops to watch.

Wednesday's Games (All point spreads are courtesy of Kenpom):

Week 2 of the NEC season is complete, and while we're still dealing with a relatively small sample size, things are starting to come into focus. Robert Morris is the lone undefeated team at 4-0, and while three of those games have come at home (plus a road win at CCSU)...

Well, week 1 was umm...interesting, huh? I covered a lot of it in my Mid-Ranger Jumper on Monday, but it's worth nailing the point home; a number of teams of teams played great in one game, and laid a total egg in their other. Case in point:

Wagner- Blew out Mount St. M...

The Northeast Conference: same as it ever was. It seems that every season, no matter what happens during November and December, one thing is for certain; nothing goes according to plan in the NEC. Well, last week was just the latest example.

It's finally here, folks. The Northeast Conference's regular season kicks off on Thursday night, so make sure you have the NEC On The Run app loaded and ready to rock and roll.

Well folks, following Friday's 87-58 loss to Penn State, Central Connecticut has officially finished winless during the non-conference portion of its schedule. (Note: I will always pretend games against non-D1 teams do not actually exist)

The first two months of the sea...

Team of the Week: Sacred Heart

It was a quiet week here in our favorite conference in America, with just 16 Division-1 games on tap. While no team won more than 1 game, there were a bunch of high-quality wins. However, no team played better in their one win than Sacred...

If you were simply looking at the Northeast Conference's standings to identify potential title contenders, Long Island probably wouldn't jump out at you; they're currently just 3-7, with no notable wins on their resume. But as well all know around these parts, win-loss...

Team of the Week: St. Francis-Brooklyn

The Terriers won a pair of close games at home last week, sneaking by Presbyterian 64-63, then knocking off NJIT 73-71. Neither team has been particularly impressive in the early going; PC is now 1-8 against D1 competition, while N...
