NEC YOUTH TAKES CENTER STAGE
“One good thing about being young is that you are not experienced enough to know you cannot possibly do the things you are doing.”
- Gene Brown, Author
Call it a changing of the guard. Call it a youth movement. Call it the start of a new cycle.
Call it whatever you like, but one thing is for certain: NEC hoops in 2014-15 is a young man’s game.
With ten 2013-14 NEC all-conference performers having moved on and a dozen 2014 graduates playing professionally, a host of new faces are already on their way to becoming household names in NEC hoops circles.
Of the 138 men’s basketball players on NEC rosters this season, 48 or 34.8 percent are freshman. Throw in another 16 newcomers and that bumps the number of first-year players in the conference to 64 or a whopping 46.4 percent of all competitors. To go even further, underclassmen account for 56.5 percent of all NEC players this season.
And for the most part, NEC coaches are employing the trial by fire approach to acclimate the newcomers to their new surroundings. There are 12 freshman, 20 underclassmen and three other newcomers that have started at least half their team’s games.
In the scoring column, eight freshman and two newcomers rank among the top-30 in the NEC in scoring. Likewise, seven NEC freshman and nine first year players rank in the top-three on their respective teams in scoring.
In total, 23.8 percent of the points scored in the NEC this year have been by freshman, 35.6 percent by first-year players and 44.4 percent by underclassmen.
Leading the freshman scoring boom is Sacred Heart’s Cane Broome (East Hartford, CT/East Hartford (St. Thomas More)), who after averaging 23.0 ppg in a pair of wins became just the third player in league history to be named NEC Player and Rookie of the Week. The two-guard paces the Pioneers and ranks eighth in the NEC with 13.1 ppg. Robert Morris junior guard Rodney Pryor (Evanston, IL/Notre Dame Prep (Cloud County CC)) tops all newcomers and lands sixth on the NEC scoring list with 13.9 ppg. Sacred Heart’s Jordan Allen (Bayshore, NY/Long Island Lutheran (Hofstra)), a transfer from Hofstra, paces the league in field goal percentage (.690). Wagner freshman guard JoJo Cooper (Wilmington, DE/Concord) (4.7) and LIU freshman guard Elvar Fridriksson (Reykjanesbaer, Iceland/Njardvik) (4.3) rank second and third, respectively, in assists. Wagner freshman guard Aaren Edmead (Deer Park, NY/Deer Park) paces the circuit in three-point accuracy (.481).
Another by-product of the NEC youth movement could be greater parity on the court once conference play begins in January. NEC blogger Nelson Castillo picked up on that very point recently.
Nelson Castillo @NelCastBHJ
I wouldn’t be surprised b/c of all the youth & inexperience in NEC this yr if this is most competitively balanced NEC has been 4 long time
This might be the first yr in many that any NEC team can beat each other anywhere at any single night. How many Ws wins NEC? 13, 14. Maybe.
So while current NEC coaches may endure some growing pains, this season, there is hope. As legendary coach and analyst Al McGuire once said, “The best thing about freshman is that they become sophomores.”
NEC PLAYER & ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Cane Broome, Sacred Heart
6-0, 150 lbs.
Fr., G, East Hartford, CT/East Hartford (St. Thomas More)
Broome played like anything but a freshman last week, leading the Pioneers to a pair of wins over Patriot League opponents. In doing so, he became just the third freshman in league history to be named NEC Player of the Week, joining CCSU’s Corsley Edwards (11/30/98) and Wagner’s Miladin Mutavdzic (2/2/92). The East Hartford, CT native averaged 23.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and shot 64.0 percent from the field and 92.3 percent from the line. He opened the week scoring a career and game-high 21 points to go along with three steals in SHU’s last-second win at Colgate on Wednesday. Broome converted 9-13 shots and cut the Red Raider lead to one with two minutes to play when he scored four points in four seconds. He was even better in Saturday’s 81-68 triumph over Holy Cross, setting career-bests with 25 points and nine rebounds. Broome continued his hot shooting, making 7-12 shots, including 2-3 from outside the arc. The 6-0 guard now leads the Pioneers and ranks first among NEC freshman with 13.1 ppg. He also ranks second on SHU with 4.9 rpg and is the team leader with 1.7 spg. Broome ranks in the NEC top-15 in scoring, rebounding, assists, free throw percentage and steals.
SACRED HEART BY THE NUMBERS
It was a big week for Sacred Heart as the numbers below suggest.
- Freshman guard Cane Broome (East Hartford, CT/East Hartford (St. Thomas More)) not only earned his first NEC Rookie of the Week honor, but was also named NEC Player of the Week after he averaged 23.0 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 2.0 spg and shot 64.0 percent from the field and 92.3 percent from the line in a pair of wins last week. Broome is just the third freshman in league history to be named NEC Player of the Week, joining CCSU’s Corsley Edwards (11/30/98) and Wagner’s Miladin Mutavdzic (2/2/92).
“We knew he was very talented but he’s still a freshman, and it took some time for him to get more comfortable and pick his spots,” Pioneers head coach Anthony Latina said of Broome. “He’s letting the game come to him a little bit more.”
- The Pioneers snapped a six-game losing streak against Patriot League opponents with a 71-70 victory at Colgate on Wednesday. Three days later, the Pioneers made it two in a row over PL rivals with an 81-68 win against Holy Cross.
- With its second win at the William H. Pitt Center on Saturday, SHU has already surpassed its home win total of one from 2013-14.
- Sacred Heart is currently on a three game winning streak for the first time since January 19-26, 2013.
- The Pioneers won their fourth game of the season in just the seventh contest of the year. Last season, it took 17 games for SHU to get to four wins. The four victories are one win shy of Sacred Heart’s win total from all of the 2013-14 campaign.
- The Pioneers are 4-0 on the year when they have shot better from the field than their opponents, and 0-3 when shooting a lower percentage.
- Sacred Heart won at Colgate despite trailing by two at the half. The Pioneers had gone 1-30 in their previous 31 games when behind at intermission.
- Sacred Heart defeated Colgate despite being outrebounded by 18 for the game. That deficit was the largest in a victory since losing the battle of the boards by 22 in a 68-61 triumph over Iona on November 15, 2006.
KNIGHTS KNOCKOUT: FDU SLAYS TIGERS
FDU is starting to make a habit of knocking off Garden State hoops rivals in the Greg Herenda era.
After beating Rutgers and Seton Hall in back-to-back games last season, the Knights took out traditional Ivy League power Princeton on Saturday at the Rothman Center.
The Knights rallied from an 11-point second half deficit and eventually used a 25-4 run to take control of the game, building an 11-point lead with four minutes to play.
The Knights were led by the terrific guard tandem of Matt MacDonald (Buffalo, NY/Canisius) and Mustafaa Jones (Philadelphia, PA/Neumann-Goretti). MacDonald netted a career-high 29 points, hitting 8-12 from the floor and 8-11 from the line. He also added eight rebounds. Jones finished with 22 points and made 11-12 from the stripe.
The Knights also received a boost from freshman swingman Earl Potts, Jr. (Severn, MD/Archbishop Spalding), who contributed a career-best 11 points in 19 minutes off the bench to help spark the second half comeback. Entering the game, Potts had scored 11 points on the year.
“That was a historic night for Fairleigh Dickinson University,” head coach Greg Herenda said postgame. “I am so proud of our team and how hard and tough they played, especially in the second half. Matt MacDonald and Mustafaa Jones earned their wings as captains tonight - they truly led the way.”
Jones (15.6 ppg), MacDonald (13.9 ppg) and freshman Darian Anderson (Washington, D.C./St. John’s College) (10.1 ppg) are FDU’s three-leading scorers and have combined to give the Knights 39.6 ppg out of the backcourt.
SEQUENCE OF THE WEEK
It only took 5.4 seconds for Sacred Heart to make a pair of memorable plays and clinch a thrilling 71-70 win at Colgate on Wednesday.
Trailing by a point and with the ball out of bounds under the Red Raider basket, SHU head coach Anthony Latina drew up a play that was perfectly executed with graduate student forward Jordan Allen (Bayshore, NY/Long Island Lutheran (Hofstra)) coming off a set of screens clear of any defenders. NEC assist leader Phil Gaetano (Wallingford, CT/Sheehan (Choate Rosemary)) hit Allen on the cut and the Bayshore, NY native went up for the uncontested dunk with 5.4 seconds on the clock.
Following a Colgate time out, the Red Raiders worked the ball up the court and Luke Roh drove to the hoop from the left wing, but sophomore forward De’von Barnett (Waldorf, MD/Riverdale Baptist School) answered the call, sliding from the weak side for a two-handed, volleyball style block to seal the Pioneers’ third straight win.
STARKS DRAINS 200TH TRIPLE
Bryant senior guard Dyami Starks (Duluth, MN/Duluth East (Columbia)) landed on some round numbers last week when he became the 50th player in NEC history to reach 200 career three-pointers.
In a seven-point setback to Yale on Wednesday, Starks made 5-6 shots from beyond the arc to finish with a game-high 23 points. He added three more on Saturday at Brown. He currently leads the NEC with 4.0 three-pointers per contest, a figure that also ranks him fifth in the nation.
With 207 trifectas over the course of his career at Bryant, Starks ranks 41st all-time in the conference. To reach the top-20 by year’s end, the Duluth, MN native would need to hit just 32 more treys.
FDU’S JONES & WC’S SENAT BRING #NECPRIDE
There are basketball honors and then their are accolades bigger than the game.
For Fairleigh Dickinson senior guard Mustafaa Jones (Philadelphia, PA/) and Wagner sophomore forward Greg Senat (Elmont, NY/Elmont), the recent announcement that they were one of 251 nominees nationwide for the 2015 Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams, put the duo front and center in the #NECPride movement.
The prestigious community service award recognizes a distinguished group of student-athletes who have demonstrated a commitment to enriching the lives of others and contributing to the greater good in their communities. The final roster of 20 award recipients will be unveiled in February.
In the local community, Jones is heavily involved with the Boys & Girls Club along with entire the FDU team. Back in his hometown of Philadelphia, he has taken a keen interest in youth basketball and volunteered his time with numerous programs.
Within the community, Senat assists current Wagner men’s assistant coach, Scott Smith, in a program called Lifestyles, which is run twice a year and teaches young athletes (ages seventh grade and under) basketball skills and drills. He will also be volunteered on Saturday, October 25, at First Book, a program in partnership with the United Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers, that distribute some 40,000 books to school children.
Senat also serves as a mentor at the Port Richmond Partnership Leadership Academy, which was established by Samantha Siegel, Wagner College’s Center for Leadership & Community Engagement Director. A five-week program which aims to enrich Port Richmond High School rising juniors, the Port Richmond Leadership Academy is a unique program designed to deepen participants’ academic abilities as well as develop community capacity, building skills to affect positive change locally. In addition to being a mentor, Greg oversees the Port Richmond Leadership Academy Facebook Page and was recently featured on the school’s You Tube page.
MOUNT CAPTURES “CATHOLIC CLASH”
In the most played rivalry in the state of Maryland, Mount St. Mary’s downed Loyola (MD), 74-65, in the 170th edition of the Catholic Clash on Saturday. The Mount has won the past two games against the Greyhounds, and now holds a 98-72 advantage in the all-time series that began in 1910.
Sophomore guard Byron Ashe (Washington, D.C./Friendship Collegiate) scored a season-high 16 points, including an emphatic tip-dunk late in the first half that earned the No. 3 Play on SportsCenter’s Top-10.
Graduate student Kristijan Krajina (Osijek, Croatia / Blue Ridge School (VA)) had 12 points while matching a career high with eight rebounds. Junior forward Gregory Graves (Sterling, VA/Potomac Falls) just missed a double-double with 10 points and nine boards.
One of the classic games between the two programs was a 99-93 overtime win for the Mountaineers in the championship game of the Mason-Dixon Conference Tournament on March 5, 1955. That was former head coach Jim Phelan’s first of 49 seasons spent as head coach at the Mount.
IN FRONT OF ALL-TIME GREAT, SFU CONTINUES HOME ROLL
On a day the Saint Francis U men’s basketball team honored former Red Flash and NBA great Kevin Porter, SFU played perhaps its best game of the season with a 69-59 win over two-time defending America East champion Albany.
Porter, who played for Saint Francis from 1968-72 and amassed 1,766 points in his time in Loretto, had his No. 10 retired and hung in the rafters alongside fellow greats Maurice Stokes and Norm Van Lier. Porter was a 10-year NBA veteran who led the league in assists four times (1975, 1978, 1979 and 1981).
The Red Flash shot 51.2 percent from the field in the win, including 11-20 from three-point range. Junior guard Ben Millaud-Meunier (Montreal, Quebec/Vanier) made 4-6 from beyond the arc and scored 14 points in a 21-minute stint off the bench. Senior forward Earl Brown (Philadelphia, PA/Imhotep Charter) led SFU with 16 points and five rebounds.
The win pushed SFU’s record to 4-4 and gave the program its first 3-0 start at home since the 2004-05 season.
“It’s so important, and we’ve talked about being able to get a couple of wins under your belt just to have some confidence rolling into league play,” head coach Rob Krimmel said. “Because it’s easy to say to the guys, ‘The league matters, the league matters.’ But for a 19- to 22-year-old kid to walk out of a gym after a win, it’s a lot easier on them, and as coaches, we have their attention a little bit more.”
PEEL GETS HOT, CCSU GETS ON THE BOARD
Central Connecticut won its first game on Saturday, but what made it even sweeter was it came against local rival Hartford.
Up by two with under two minutes to play, the Blue Devils scored five straight points, capped by a pair of Brandon Peel (Forestville, MD/Riverdale Baptist) free throws with 50 seconds remaining as CCSU pulled away for the 56-47 win.
“Just proud of the guys,” said head coach Howie Dickenman, in his 19th season at his alma mater. “It’s been a drought. Seven games. And those [losses] were by an average of 14 points. So we came into Chase Arena, aware that Hartford is very good, and we just took it to them. We played well. That’s the best game we’ve played.”
Peel scored 16 points and added 16 rebounds. The 16 rebounds were a season-high and one off his career best. He also went 7-12 from the field. On the week, Peel averaged 12.0 ppg, 12.5 rpg and 2.0 bpg for the Blue Devils. The junior forward ranks second in the NEC in rebounding with 8.9 per game and leads the circuit with 1.4 blocks per outing.

GAETANO MOVIN’ ON UP
Sacred Heart senior guard Phil Gaetano (Wallingford, CT/Sheehan (Choate Rosemary)) was on his passing game last week, averaging 9.0 assists in a pair of Pioneer wins. Gaetano dished for eight assists in SHU’s 71-70 win at Colgate, then added a season-high 10 dimes as the Pioneers extended their win streak to three with an 81-68 victory over Holy Cross.
Gaetano, who has accumulated 585 career assists and ranks sixth on the NEC career list, needs just five more to pass SFU’s Napoleon Lightning to move into fifth place and 19 to leapfrog Mount St. Mary’s Jeremy Goode for third all-time in the conference. He leads the NEC with 5.7 apg this season.

Cannon has racked up 1,248 career points as he enters play this week and is the second-leading active scorer in the NEC. The Allentown, PA native hopes to become just the second player in NEC history to finish with 1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds in his career, joining Quinnipiac’s Justin Rutty (1,521/1,032 from 2007-11).

HERE & THERE
A pair of Bryant freshman recorded career-high scoring totals at Brown on Saturday. Hunter Ware (Powder Springs, GA/North Cobb Christian) and Gus Riley (Nelson, New Zealand/Nayland College) both came off the bench to score 11 points. Riley also picked up a career-best eight rebounds, the most of any Bulldog this season.
LIU Brooklyn freshman guard Martin Hermannsson (Reykjavik, Iceland/ Reykjavik) averaged 15.5 ppg, 3.5 apg and 3.5 rpg last week. The shifty guard from Iceland registered 12 points and five rebounds against New Hampshire on Wednesday, then had a career-high 19 points, including a 6-13 effort from the field in a narrow loss to Lehigh. Hermannsson and classmate and countrymate Elvar Fridriksson (Reykjanesbaer, Iceland/ Njardvik) have combined for 47 of LIU’s 65 assists this season.
LIU Brooklyn senior forward Landon Atterberry (Detroit, MI/Cape Fear CC) registered his second double-double of the season with 14 points and 10 boards against Lehigh on Saturday. He ranks third on the Blackbirds in scoring (8.5) and leads the club in rebounding (6.8).
Mount St. Mary’s graduate student Kristijan Krajina (Osijek, Croatia / Blue Ridge School (VA)), who was granted a sixth-year of eligibility over the summer, is averaging a team-high 9.2 ppg while grabbing 4.8 rpg. In the Mount’s two wins, he is averaging 14.0 ppg and 7.0 rpg. Junior forward Gregory Graves (Sterling, VA/Potomac Falls) has also put up solid numbers in the Mount’s two victories, averaging 13.0 ppg and 8.0 rpg.
Robert Morris senior forward Lucky Jones (Newark, NJ/St. Anthony) averaged 16.5 ppg and 4.5 rpg in two games last week, pacing the Colonials with 21 points against Youngstown State on Tuesday.
Robert Morris freshman forward Elijah Minnie (Monessen, PA/Lincoln Park) registered the first double-double of his collegiate career with 10 points and 10 rebounds against Buffalo on Sunday. Minnie, who had posted five defensive rebounds in 114 minutes through RMU’s first seven games, pulled down seven defensive boards against the Bulls.
After averaging just 4.0 points over his three previous games, Sacred Heart forward Jordan Allen (Bayshore, NY/Long Island Lutheran (Hofstra)) helped spark the Pioneers to a 2-0 week by contributing 14.0 ppg on 66.7 percent shooting from the field. The graduate student also averaged 3.0 rpg and 1.0 spg. Trailing Colgate 70-69 on Wednesday with just over six seconds remaining, he dunked home the game-winning basket with 5.4 ticks left on the clock to help the Pioneers end their six-game losing streak against Patriot League opposition. Allen scored 14 points for the game, and added 14 more in an 81-68 win over Holy Cross on Saturday. He is the leading scorer off the bench for SHU, averaging 8.8 ppg, and his 69.0 percent accuracy from the field leads the NEC.
St. Francis Brooklyn junior forward Amdy Fall (New York, NY/Wings Academy) returned after a two-game absence due to injury and recorded his first double-double of the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench in a 65-54 win at Liberty on Saturday. Seniors Jalen Cannon (Allentown, PA/William Allen) and Brent Jones (Brooklyn, NY/Bedford Academy) added 16 apiece, and freshman guard Glenn Sanabria (Staten island, NY/St. Peter’s) hit a pair of clutch second half buckets, grabbed six boards and had three assists in his first extended action of the season as the Terriers won their second straight.
Wagner freshman guard Corey Henson (Upper Marlboro, MD/DeMatha Catholic) put up 13.0 ppg last week, including a career-best 16 at Lafayette on Saturday. He logged 35.0 minutes per contest over the two games and hit six shots from beyond the arc at a 42.9 percent success rate. Henson also dished out 4.0 apg and committed just two turnovers. Among NEC freshman, Henson ranks fifth in scoring at 9.1 ppg.

CCSU’s Brandon Peel is ninth in school history with 92 career blocks.
LIU Brooklyn led by as many as 11 points against Lehigh on Saturday, but the Mountain Hawks came back and sealed an 80-76 win at the line, hitting 18 straight free throws over the final five minutes.
Mount St. Mary’s has won six in a row against Patriot League opponents, including five wins over the past two seasons. This year, the Mount has beat Bucknell and Loyola (MD).

St. Francis Brooklyn has won the rebound battle in five of seven contests and leads the league with a +3.6 margin.
Wagner junior forward Mike Aaman, a URI transfer, posted the Seahawks first double-double of the season when he tied a career-high with 15 points and grabbed a season-best 11 rebounds at Maine on Tuesday.
Wagner senior guard Marcus Burton now has 34 career double-digit performances following a career-best 25-point effort at Maine.

“I got no words. FDU just beat Princeton. That’s history. Our guys played so hard and deserved everything they got.” - FDU head coach Greg Herenda after the Knights beat Princeton, 89-85, on Wednesday.

No matter how we play offensively, if our defense is a constant, the offense will come.” - Sacred Heart head coach Anthony Latina after the Pioneers extended their win streak to three on Saturday
“We tried to throw everything we had at them. But they are a really good team, and at this point we have to take every game as it comes.” --Wagner head coach Bashir Mason on Lafayette
“Things are progressing pretty well with this group, and it has everything to do with the defensive side of the ball. We’re defending. Our defense is allowing us to stay in games.” - SFU head coach Rob Krimmel following his team’s 69-59 win over Albany
