Wow, @NECsports just smoked the Big West in @3X3UHoops ! Sean Hoehn and Romone Saunders were lethal from behind the arc - I came in late but counted 7 combined makes (14 points) from long distance. Get that money!

John Gallagher has an open lawsuit against a Board of Regents member at Hartford. Felt awkward that Gal would serve in the final year of his contract in 2022-23, and now we know that won’t occur. A sad ending to a sad story.

Swing and a miss from the Westwood One preview show - first you have Doug Gottieb messing up Damian Chong Qui’s personal story and then the other guy saying Chong Qui is 5’5”. Not difficult to get these kind of facts correct, even as an outsider. 🤦‍♂️

Worth noting that former LIU coach and NEC champion Jack Perri is making some noice in the highly competitive NE-10 (D2) as SNHU’s head coach. His team knocked off #7 Bentley last week and is currently tied for 2nd in the NE-10 standings.

I worked a 3 AM to 9 AM shift this morning, got in the car and drove to Brookyln and spent 2 hours talking to coaches at NEC Media Day. You can't knock the hustle...

Very appreciative of @Och_meech telling me his story and for @andersontobin ’s time as I wrote this piece on Demetre’s journey from Mount Vernon to STAC to FDU. I also had some fun w/ creating a top 5 list of D2 transfers who have impacted the #NECMBB .

From STAC to Hackensack: FDU’s Demetre Roberts Levels Up

Credit: Larry Levanti Demetre Roberts was ready to give it another go. After weeks of deliberation with family, friends and coaches, Roberts decided that the pros outweighed the cons for returning …

The more I watch Saint Francis this non-conference season, the more I like them. Josh Cohen is emerging into a leading big, Myles Thompson looks good and the guard play is very solid. Top 4 NEC is not a stretch.

In all, I've written 403 posts for NYC Buckets. That may seem a little light over ~5 years, but the vast majority of those were more than 800 words each. I always tried to cram as much information into my analysis, stories and opinions as I could.

Merrimack's freshman Malik Edmead is ridiculously quick. That first step isn't containable in the NEC. He originally was going to redshirt (pre-pandemic), but given the free year, Edmead beefs up Joe Gallo's backcourt immediately.

Sorry I just find it hilarious when fans tweet at student athletes “to recruit” after their portal announcements. I know it’s mostly harmless but I’m still waiting for the moment when a player thanks @tigerfan_3658 for making him aware of the program he ended up transferring to.

That Mount defense with a legendary performance - Wagner struggled tremendously with their length, defensive discipline and athleticism. That was impressive!

Robert Morris' Josh Williams is shooting 15 of 21 from behind the arc for a 71.4% success rate in 3 NEC games. Is that good?

Yesterday I submitted my 20-year profile piece on the 2001-02 CCSU championship team. 2,500+ words with quotes from Howie Dickenman, @corsley1947 , Ron Robinson, @AnthonyLatina and others. Looking forward to seeing it in the NEC tournament program and Overtime! Blog come March.

Wow! What a half for Bryant - 1.23 ppp offensively, shooting 62% from the field and just having their way in every facet of the game. And yes, Kiss was yapping at me in the middle of the 1st half. I love it, and honestly, and I’m not that important 😂

Robert Morris now has a chokehold on getting to the #1 seed in the NEC tournament with 6 left to play. Only chance now, it seems, is if SFU sweeps the season series on RMU, which has happened before. But at 10-2 in NEC play, the Colonials are looking really good.

Forget Fordham and their ineptitude. Let's talk about how Jared Grasso in year 2 at Bryant, with a roster sans his presumed starting frontcourt of Pride and Townes, went into Rose Hill and beat an A10 school and I'm not even that surprised by it. NEC contender.

I won’t pretend to know who the best person is to replace Bashir Mason at Wagner (perhaps assistant Bobby Jordan?), but Walt Hameline has nailed his last 2 hires: Dan Hurley & Mason. And he had patience w/ the latter after 2 down seasons. They almost went dancing this season.

Win or lose tomorrow, I hope the country gets a glimpse of Braxton and he becomes a national figure as a Red Flash senior. For someone to reasonably approach 2,000 career points & 1,000 career rebounds after getting crickets during DI recruitment in high school is insane.

This is my favorite @RedFlashMBB stat going into tomorrow's @necbbt final: Keith Braxton is 21st in total rebounds (9.7 rpg) for all Division I players. He's only one of 2 players in the top 25 of total rebounds that stands at 6'5 or shorter. #NEC19

Iona returns Gist, Agee & Crawford as all MAAC all-conference guys IMO, not to mention the steady Perez, followed by a treasure trove of transfer talent. They are the New England Patriots of the MAAC - must be picked first until they no longer get to the NCAAT.
