With the “free agent” period of college basketball in full swing, I felt it was a good time to identify who has prematurely left the NEC and what kind of impact it has on their former team. Here are the top nine transfers that decided to leave the conference. For Jeff Goodman’s complete list of [...]
Breaking Down the NEC Transfer List
NEC Top 10: Premature Ratings for the 2013-14 Season
With the college basketball season officially behind us, everyone is beginning to speculate on the nation’s top 25 for the 2013-14 season. I figured to join in on the fun, by giving you my NEC top 10 as of today! Keep in mind I haven’t fully delved into each team’s incoming recruits and there may be [...]
Best Coaching Jobs in the NEC
Big Apple Buckets continues their Best Coaching Jobs series with the Northeast Conference. With the departures of Quinnipiac and Monmouth this coming fall, ranking the ten remaining jobs was incredibly difficult to do. Two of the best arenas are heading to the MAAC; therefore attempting to decipher the NEC’s best gigs is wonderfully subjective. I [...]
Season In Review: Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers
Nearly 18 hours after Mount St. Mary’s was thoroughly dismantled by LIU Brooklyn in the second half of the NEC championship game, Jamion Christian answered his phone with the same optimism and level headedness he had shown all season throughout the ups and the downs. “Man, I’m good,” Christian said when asked about his mood [...]
The Greatest Non-Conference Victories in the History of the NEC
One of the first posts I ever wrote on Pioneer Pride centered around Wagner’s upset victory over Pittsburgh three days before Christmas last season. Immediately after watching Dan Hurley’s masterpiece, I took to the keyboard to pen one of my first posts on the Northeast Conference.

C.J. Garner Leads LIU To Three-Peat
There’s just something about title games that seems to bring out the best in C.J. Garner. His career-high 31 points helped lead LIU to its third straight NEC Tournament championship and the Blackbirds’ third appearance in the NCAA tournament with a 91-70 victory over Mount St. Mary’s at the WRAC.
NEC Championship Preview, Part 2: Three Reasons LIU Brooklyn Can Three-Peat
The LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds have done it again. Jack Perri has gotten his team all the way to the NEC championship game through all the adversity of a complex and difficult season. All that stands in the way of LIU and NEC immortality is Mount St. Mary’s.
NEC Championship Preview, Part 1: Why Mount St. Mary’s Can Beat LIU
A little more than two months ago, I witnessed a terrific performance on the basketball court inside the Knott Arena. One team was efficiently scoring the basketball, while also holding their opponents to a paltry 4 of 28 shooting from behind the three-point line. The victorious team arguably dominated in all facets of their NEC [...]
NEC Tournament Recap: Back to Brooklyn
The past two NEC championship games were played at LIU Brooklyn, so what was to stop the NEC from playing a third there? Saturday’s results bring the championship back to the Wellness and Recreation Center on Tuesday night. It’s going to be one heck of a show.
