Damian Chong Qui, Mount St. Mary’s
5’8”, 155 lbs.
Jr., G, Baltimore, MD/McDonogh
Chong Qui collected his third NEC Player of the Week accolade after yet another stellar all-around two-game series. The junior guard tallied 15.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, and made 3-4 (.750) from three-point range and 12-14 (.857) from the line in a home sweep of LIU lifted the Mount to 7-4 and second place in the NEC standings. Chong Qui, who hails from Baltimore, MD, came up huge down the stretch in Thursday’s 66-60 win over the Sharks. With the Mount trailing by one, he scored all seven points in a game-ending 7-0 run over the final 90 seconds, including a critical three-pointer with 47 seconds on the clock that gave his team a four-point advantage. Chong Qui finished with 15 points, six rebounds and six assists, and went on to tally 16 points, four boards and nine helpers the next day in a 64-46 triumph. He leads the NEC and ranks 24th nationally with 5.6 apg. Chong Qui also paces the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.27), and is fourth in free throw percentage (.845) and ninth in scoring (15.7).
Alex Morales, Wagner
6’6”, 180 lbs.
Sr., G, Paterson, NJ/Mainland Regional (Prince George’s CC)
It’s back-to-back NEC Player of the Week honors and the third award of the year for Morales following a pair of superlative performances for the surging Seahawks, who have won five in a row to climb into a third place tie with a 6-4 NEC mark. Last week, Morales poured in 17.5 points per game on 56.5 percent shooting from the field and a scorching 83.3 percent from distance in a pair of wins at FDU. He also recorded 5.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game. Morales accounted for 12 points, eight assists and four boards in Thursday’s 76-72 win. In Saturday’s rematch, he hit 3-4 from outside the arc on his way to a game-high 23-point night, that also included seven rebounds and six assists. Early in the second half, he scored seven points and dished for two assists in a 3:17 span that gave Wagner the lead for good in a 95-86 victory. Morales, who hails from Paterson, NJ, ranks in the NEC top-10 in scoring (17.6, fourth), rebounding (7.2, tenth), assists (5.3, second) and steals (1.7, eighth).

He made 50.0 percent of his shots from the field and was a perfect 14-14 from the line.

Alex Morales (WC, Sr, G)
Morales routinely stuffs the stat sheet and last week was no different as he registered 17.5 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 7.0 apg, 1.0 spg, while shooting 56.5 percent from the field and a red-hot 83.3 percent from three-point land in two wins at FDU.

TOP STORYLINES FROM #NECMBB WEEK TEN
Here’s all you need to know from week ten of the 2020-21 season...
NEC CHUTES & LADDERS
With 16 days remaining in the regular season, there are more questions than answers when it comes to determining the four teams that will comprise the four-team NEC Tournament field.
The standings remain clogged to the point that we are almost assured of a photo finish on March 3.
On the other hand, one thing is crystal clear when looking back at the week-to-week standings:
A team’s season can change seemingly in the blink of an eye.

Let’s start with FDU. On January 25, the Knights were 1-3 and in last place. One week later, they jumped to sixth place. Seven days after that, FDU found itself atop the standings at 6-4. Fast forward a week later, and FDU is back in sixth place, but just one game out of third.
How about the defending regular season champs?
Merrimack occupied the ninth spot in mid-January, but erased a 1-3 start by winning four straight and seven-of-eight. Now back in familiar territory at the head of the class in the NEC, the Warriors stand at 8-4 and will look to hold off a slew of challengers as they seek to defend their title.
And how about the Green & White?
Just two weeks ago, Wagner was 2-4, mired in 10th place and coming off a 20-day layoff. Five consecutive wins later - highlighted by a sweep at FDU last week - and the red-hot Seahawks find themselves tied for third place, just one game out of first.
One team that has been rather consistent this season is Mount St. Mary’s. The defensive-minded Mountaineers haven’t fallen below fourth place the past month, and last week moved up to second following an impressive sweep of LIU.
Two teams in prime position to challenge for playoff bids are back in action this week following pauses.
Bryant will return after a 20-day hiatus this weekend for a home-and-home with Merrimack in a key series. The Bulldogs are tied for third with a 6-4 conference mark.
Sacred Heart is also back in business this week after 17 days off with three road games on the schedule. The Pioneers face CCSU on Wednesday, then head to St. Francis Brooklyn for a weekend set.
With a busy week ahead, including a number of makeups on the slate, don’t blink...the topsy-turvy world of NEC hoops means teams will likely be moving freely up and down the standings yet again.
Like a good game of Chutes and Ladders.
Looking Ahead
- Saturday could be the first day all season (fingers crossed) that all 10 NEC teams play on the same day.
- With a host of makeup games this week, look for some of the inequities in terms of the number of games played to start evening out.
- Wagner has the most games still to play (eight) and Saint Francis U the least (three). LIU has four remaining.
- Bryant and Wagner still have to play series against Merrimack and Mount St. Mary’s, the top two teams in the league standings.
RESCHEDULE UPDATE
The Sacred Heart at CCSU single game was moved from February 5 to February 17.
The Bryant at Merrimack single game was shifted from February 17 to February 20.
The Mount St. Mary’s at Bryant series was pushed from February 4-5 to March 2-3.
NEC TV SKED
The NEC returns to the airwaves on Saturday when FDU hosts Mount St. Mary’s for a 2:00 pm tip. The game will air live on ESPN3 and MASN, and via SNY on tape delay at 9:00 pm.
Paul Dottino (PxP) and Tim Capstraw (color) are on the call.
The decision on the NEC Wildcard game on February 25th will be made this week. Potential matchups include St. Francis Brooklyn at Merrimack, Mount St. Mary’s at Saint Francis U, FDU at Sacred Heart, LIU at Bryant or Wagner at CCSU.
MOUNTING DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE
If Mount St. Mary’s is going to bring the NEC trophy back to Emmitsburg, the formula is simple.
Do it with defense.
The Mount allowed a combined 106 points in sweeping high scoring LIU last week, just one of a myriad of stats that illustrate the program’s defensive dominance.
“We made the effort plays we needed to make this week,” said Mount head coach Dan Engelstad after the second game. “We have established ourselves as the best defensive team in this league and that’s got to carry us through the remaining stretch.”
- The Mount held LIU to 32.8 percent shooting overall and 21.4 percent from three-point range. The 0.75 PPP in Friday’s 64-46 win marked a season-low for an MSM opponent.
- The Mount leads the NEC in league games in scoring defense (59.6), field goal percentage defense (.386), three-point defense (.289), two-point defense (.437), defensive rebound percentage (75.3), block percentage (12.7), blocks (4.7), defensive efficiency (93.3) and effective field goal percentage (43.6).
- The Mountaineers have held nine-of-11 NEC opponents to 65 points or less this season, and six-of-11 to 60 or less.
KNOTT ARENA MAGIC
Even without the typical raucous Knott Arena crowd, Mount St. Mary’s is now 6-1 at home this season with a scoring margin of +11.7. Five of the six victories have come by double digits. The Mount is holding opponents to 56.7 points, 36.8 percent shooting overall and 26.8 percent from three-point territory at home this year.
TALE OF TWO HALVES FOR MERRIMACK
They did it with defense in the first half and offense in the second in what amounted to a dominating performance.
In a game that aired on ESPN+ last Thursday, Merrimack showcased its #MakeChaos defense from the jump, holding CCSU to 4-23 shooting (.174) in the opening 20 minutes, including an 0-7 mark from outside the arc in building a 25-17 edge at the break.
The Warriors shot a scintillating 71.4 percent from the floor in the second stanza, sinking 15-of-21 shots to roll to a 62-46 victory.
Merrimack held CCSU to 30.2 percent shooting for the game and 0.70 PPP, both season-best marks. The Warriors also forced 21 turnovers.
Over its last three games, Merrimack has held opponents to 32.7 percent from the field, 26.6 percent from three-point range and 54.0 ppg. In the wins, the Warriors held SFU to 0.84 PPP and CCSU to 0.69 and 0.79 PPP.
WATKINS A WARRIOR FINISHING AT RIM
Field goal percentage at the rim takes into accounts layups, dunks or tip-ins, and is a good measure to see those who are most adept at finishing around the hoop.
Which NEC players do it best?
Looking at players who have at least 50 attempts around the rim, the surprising answer is Merrimack junior guard Mikey Watkins (Roselle, NJ/Linden), a 5’11” guard. The cat-quick Roselle, NJ native has been efficient and proficient taking the ball to the rim, converting 69.6 percent of his attempts, making 39-of-56.
Every other player in the league who has made at least 60 percent at the rim is at least 6’5” tall.
Bryant senior forward Hall Elisias (Valley Stream, NY/Valley Stream (New Mexico JC)) (69.1 percent) and Wagner senior guard Elijah Ford (Newark, NJ/Weequahic (Barton CC (KS)) (69.0 percent) are right behind Watkins in their efficiency.
LIU Brooklyn senior forward Eral Penn (Brooklyn, NY/St. Francis Academy (MD)) has attempted 114 shots around the rim, the most of any player on the list, making 64.9 percent.
Although he fell five attempts shy of making this list, FDU freshman forward Pier-Olivier Racine (Montreal, Quebec/Vanier College) has converted at a scintillating 75.6 percent clip around the rim, sinking 34-45 shots.
NEC Top-5, FG% at Rim (min. 60%, 50 att.)
Mikey Watkins, BRY 69.6 (39-56)
Hall Elisias, BRY 69.1 (47-68)
Elijah Ford, WC 69.0 (58-84)
Elyjah Williams, FDU 65.6 (63-96)
Eral Penn, LIU 64.9 (74-114)
Ty Flowers, LIU 63.5 (54-85)
Travis Atson, SFBK 62.1 (41-66)
Peter Kiss, BRY 60.9 (53-87)
POINT PRODUCTION PICK UP
Entering the final two plus weeks of NEC regular season play, it seems like an opportune time to examine the players who have made the most significant strides in scoring compared to last season.
Top-5 Most Improved Scorers 2019-20 2020-21 Improvement
Tyler Thomas (SHU) 5.6 ppg 19.2 ppg +13.6 ppg
Ramiir Dixon-Conover (SFU) 4.0 ppg 15.6 ppg +11.6 ppg
Eral Penn (LIU) 6.1 ppg (2018-19) 16.9 ppg +10.8 ppg
Elijah Ford (WC) 9.5 ppg 18.9 ppg +9.4 ppg
Brandon Rush (FDU) 4.9 ppg 13.4 ppg +8.5 ppg
Sacred Heart sophomore guard Tyler Thomas (Amity, CT/Amity Regional (Williston Northampton)) is at the head of the class, lifting his scoring 13.6 ppg and 242.9 percent from a year ago. He leads the NEC with 19.2 ppg.
MARTINEZ MAKING MOVES
With two stars in Alex Morales (Paterson, NJ/Mainland Regional (Prince George’s CC)) and Elijah Ford (Newark, NJ/Weequahic (Barton CC)), along with one of the NEC’s top rookies in DeLonnie Hunt (Upper Marlboro, MD/Rock Creek Christian), it’s easy to overlook the key role senior guard Will Martinez (Bronx, NY/Wings Academy (Monroe College)) has played in Wagner’s rise up the NEC standings.
The Bronx native is having a sneaky good great season.
How great?
Coming off the bench, Martinez ranks fifth in the NEC in offensive rating (113.8) for players with at least 20 percent of possessions used. With a 54.5 percent field goal percentage and 58.3 effective field goal percentage, he’s an efficient cog in a much improved Wagner attack from a year ago. Last season, Martinez shot 35.3 percent from the floor.
In two wins over FDU last week, he averaged 16.0 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 3.5 apg and made 14-22 shots (.636) from the field. On Saturday, he scored a career-high 21 points on 9-15 shooting in the Seahawks’ 95-86 victory.
Martinez has lifted his scoring from 5.8 ppg in his first year with the Seahawks to 11.4 ppg this season.
STAT OF THE WEEK
Merrimack is shooting 54.9 percent on its two-point shots, which ranks the Warriors 32nd in the country. On the other end, opponents are shooting just 43.9 percent from two-point territory, the 17th-best mark nationally.
DISHING ON CHONG QUI
Mount St. Mary’s junior guard Damian Chong Qui (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh) tallied nine assists and zero turnovers in the Mount’s 64-46 win over LIU on Friday. The 5-8 junior guard leads the NEC in assists (5.6) both overall and in NEC play (6.2). In 11 league outings, he has posted a 2.72-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio while averaging 17.3 ppg. His assist rate of 38.6 in NEC play ranks him first in the league and he is 23rd in the country in assist rate (36.4) for the season.
SIXSMITH: SHU’S SHOOTING STAR
We’re just going to leave this here each week as sort of a pinned note until things change.
Sacred Heart freshman guard Mike Sixsmith (Hicksville, NY/Holy Trinity) continues to rank second nationally in effective field goal percentage (.782) and true shooting percentage (.799), and third in offensive rating (148.6).
He is shooting 58.2 percent from the field, a league-best 53.7 percent from distance and 87.5 percent from the charity stripe.
Sixsmith is bucking to become the first NEC player since at least 1992-93 that plays at least 20 minutes per game to finish a season in the 50/40/90 shooting club.
KISS SHOOTING FOR RARE NEC MILESTONE
Dead-eye Bryant shooter Peter Kiss (New York, NY/Notre Dame Prep (Rutgers)) has a chance to join some elite company at year’s end.
Currently shooting 50.8 percent from the field, 42.2 percent from beyond the arc and 83.8 percent from the line, the New York City native is on track to earn admission to the NEC’s 50/40/80 shooting club.
Since the 1992-93 season, only four players who have scored at least 10.0 ppg and hit at least 1.0 three-pointer per game have reached each of the three shooting targets. The group is headlined by former NEC Player of the Year Karvel Anderson (RMU), and three-time All-NEC honoree Shane Gibson (SHU), two of the best pure shooters in league history.
NEC 50/40/80 Club Year FG% 3PFG% FT%
Karvel Anderson (RMU) 2013-14 51.0 46.3 84.1
Shane Gibson (SHU) 2011-12 51.0 43.3 86.2
Andre Wolford (SFU) 2017-18 50.4 49.5 84.7
Mustafa Barksdale (MU) 1994-95 50.8 45.0 85.1
Sacred Heart freshman guard Mike Sixsmith (Hicksville, NY/Holy Trinity) would need to boost his scoring from his current 8.3 ppg, but is on target with his shooting splits: 58.2 percent from the field, a league-best 53.7 percent from distance and 87.5 percent from the charity stripe.
GILES JR. ON THE RISE
We are seeing the next generation of stars taking shape in Loretto.
Along with Maxwell Land (Cincinnati, OH/Archbishop Moeller), who was named the NEC Rookie of the Week back on January 25, another Saint Francis U freshman guard who is making a name for himself this season is Ronell Giles, Jr. (Brandywine, MD/Charles Herbert Flowers).
Starting his second and third games, Giles averaged 15.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.5 bpg, and shot 55.0 percent from the field in a split with St. Francis Brooklyn last week. After posting 10 points, four rebounds and a pair of blocks in a setback on Thursday, the Brandywine, MD native helped spark SFU to an 80-66 win the following afternoon with the finest outing of his young career. He scored 20 points - one off his personal-best - on 8-12 shooting and a 2-4 mark from distance, and added six rebounds, three assists and a block.
With three straight double-digit scoring efforts, Giles - who has fan favorite written all over him once crowds return to the Stokes Center - has boosted his season average to 8.1 ppg, which ranks sixth among NEC freshman performers.
STAT ATTACK
The NEC ranks fourth nationally in adjusted tempo (71.0 possessions per 40 minutes) behind the MEAC (75.2), SEC (71.8) and Southland (71.6). Bryant (76.2, second), LIU (74.4, eighth) and St. Francis Brooklyn (72.5, 23rd) all rank in the top-25 in the country.
FDU freshman guard Joe Munden Jr. (Bronx, NY/Monsignor Scanlan) scored 14 points - two shy of his career-high - on 5-9 shooting, including 3-of-4 from long range, against Wagner on Saturday. He is shooting 44.8 percent from three-point distance on the year.
FDU senior guard Jahlil Jenkins (Ranson, WV/Virginia Academy) has moved up to 34th on the NEC career list with 468 assists.
FDU senior forward Elyjah Williams (Evanston, IL/Evanston) is 11 points shy of reaching 1,000 for his career.
Junior forwards Nana Opoku (Woodbridge, VA/Potomac) and Malik Jefferson (Hopewell, VA/Hopewell) have become a formidable duo in the paint for Mount St. Mary’s. Both are averaging double-doubles over the past five games with Opoku at 12.0 ppg and 10.0 rpg, and Jefferson at 10.0 ppg and 11.0 rpg over that stretch. Each posted a double-double in the Mount’s 66-60 win over LIU on Thursday. Opoku had 14 points and 11 rebounds, while Jefferson had 13 points and 12 caroms.
St. Francis Brooklyn junior forward David Muenkat (Brampton, Ontario/The Rise Center (Trinidad State)) averaged 12.0 ppg and 7.0 rpg over three contests last week. He shot an efficient 50.0 percent from the field. Muenkat registered his first-ever double-double with a career-high 21 points (10-16 FG) and personal-best 11 rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench at LIU on Monday. Over his last four games, Muenkat has supplied 11.5 ppg, 6.3 rpg and 1.8 spg.
St. Francis Brooklyn senior guard Chauncey Hawkins (Spring Valley, NY/St. Joseph Regional) dished for his 250th career assist last week. Hawkins and FDU senior guard Jahlil Jenkins (Ranson, WV/Virginia Academy) are the only active players in the NEC who have amassed 1,000 points and 250 assists in their careers.
Wagner is doing work on the offensive glass, leading the NEC while ranking 30th in the country by pulling down 34.2 percent of its misses. LIU is close behind at No. 43 at 33.0 percent.
