TOP STORYLINES FROM #NECMBB WEEK TEN

MORALES TABBED TO LOU HENSON MIDSEASON WATCH LIST
 
The reigning NEC Player of the Year is building a national profile.
 
Last week Wagner graduate student guard Alex Morales (Paterson, NJ/Mainland Regional (Prince George’s CC)) was selected to the 41-player Lou Henson Award Midseason Watch List.
 
The Lou Henson award is presented annually to the nation’s top mid-major player and honors the former Illinois and New Mexico State head coach who won 775 games in 41 seasons.
 
The Paterson, NJ native is the only player in the nation this season averaging at least 16.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 3.5 apg and 1.5 spg. There has not been a single DI player in the last three decades to finish with 16.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 3.5 apg, 1.5 spg and also achieve 50/40/80 shooting splits.
 
Last week he stuffed the stat sheet to the tune of 13.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 4.5 apg and 1.5 spg while shooting 62.5 percent from the field in a Wagner sweep that left them as the lone unbeaten team in league play.
 
He currently ranks in the NEC top-6 in scoring (16.2, fifth), rebounding (7.2, fourth), assists (4.0, second), steals (1.9, fourth), 3P percentage (.423, sixth), FG percentage (.580, third), FT percentage (.860, third) and A/TO ratio (1.6, third).
 
WAGNER SOARS INTO TOP-25 & BEYOND IN MID-MAJOR POLLS
 
Like a hit record, Wagner continues to climb the charts.
 
For the first time in over five years, the Seahawks earned a spot on the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top-25 rankings, entering the poll at No. 25 on January 11.
 
One week later on the heels of a seven-game win streak, Wagner rose another five spots to No. 20.
 
Wagner became the first NEC team ranked in the poll since Bryant hit #25 on January 12, 2021.
 
In Wagner’s last appearance in the poll, the Seahawks reached #14 on November 14, 2016.
 
The last NEC team to end a year ranked was Robert Morris, which finished 25th in the final 2012-13 poll.
 
The Green & White also occupy the following spots in various ranking systems:.
 
- 83rd in NCAA NET
- 116th in KenPom
- 128th in BartTorvik
 
SHU’S CLARKE EARNS MILLENNIUM MAN STATUS
 
After two months of waiting, the NEC finally admitted a new member to it’s exclusive 1K club.
 
Sacred Heart senior Aaron Clarke (Parsippany, NJ/Pope John) became the 240th player in the NEC’s 41-year history to reach 1,000 points for his career, hitting the milestone on a three pointer late in the first half of Saturday’s win over FDU. The Parsippany, NJ native, who is the 17th player in SHU’s DI era to reach the plateau, enters play this week with 1,030 points.
 
LIU grad student Ty Flowers (Waterbury, CT/Sacred Heart (UMass)) is the only current NEC player in the 1,000-point club with 1,509 in his three-plus seasons
 
The floodgates will open in the coming weeks with a host of players approaching the milestone, including CCSU junior guard Ian Krishnan (Gaithersburg, MD/Proctor Academy (NH)) (894),  Wagner graduate student Alex Morales (Paterson, NJ/Mainland Regional (Prince George’s CC)) (894), Saint Francis U senior forward Myles Thompson (Camden, NJ/Camden) (880), Mount redshirt senior forward Nana Opoku (Woodbridge, VA/Potomac) (863), Mount senior forward Malik Jefferson (Hopewell, VA/Hopewell) (861), Saint Francis U senior forward Mark Flagg (Fairless Hills, PA/Pennsbury) (852), Sacred Heart junior guard Tyler Thomas (New Haven, CT/Amity Regional (Williston)) (834) and Bryant junior guard Charles Pride (Syracuse, NY/Liverpool (Putnam Science (CT)) (779).

FLOWERS REACHING STRATOSPHERIC NUMBERS
 
A week after sinking his 200th career three-pointer and two weeks after snaring his 750th career rebound, LIU grad student Ty Flowers (Waterbury, CT/Sacred Heart (UMass)) crossed another milestone on his endless - and still growing - list of accomplishments.
 
On Monday, the Waterbury, CT native scored his 1,500th career point in an LIU uniform to become the 12th player in school history and 78th in NEC annals to hit the plateau.
 
From an NEC perspective, Flowers is putting up numbers that rank him among conference greats from a number of angles.
 
Most impressively, Flowers became the first player in the league’s 41-year history to amass 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 200 three-pointers.
 
He is also the 18th NEC player to reach 1,500 points and 750 rebounds.
 
And he isn’t even finished.
 
Now just two assists shy of 250 for his career at LIU, Flowers is set to become the third player in the history of the conference to accumulate 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists and 200 three-pointers, joining the Mount’s Gregory Harris (1,760/615/529/218 from 1996-00) and RMU’s Jeremy Chappell (1,875/681/338/243 from 2005-09).
 
On a national basis, Flowers and UNC’s Brady Manek are the only current DI players with at least 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 200 triples. In fact, over the last 30 years there have been only 34 players to meet those thresholds.
 
Once you include his assists as a freshman at UMass, Flowers is part of an even more elite national club of 18 players over the last 30 years with 1,500 points, 750 rebounds, 250 assists and 200 3P.
 
It gets even wilder.
 
With one more steal, Flowers will become the first DI player over the last 30 years to accumulate 1,500 points, 750 rebounds, 250 assists, 200 three-pointers, 150 blocks and 150 steals over the course of his career.
 
Flowers Career Numbers at LIU (as of 1/17)
1,509 points, 782 rebounds, 248 assists, 211 3P, 140 steals, 146 blocks
 
Flowers Overall Career Numbers (as of 1/17)
1,658 points, 867 rebounds, 272 assists, 244 3P, 149 steals, 161 blocks
 
ANOTHER 30 FOR KISS
 
The NEC’s leading scorer and the nation’s eighth-highest point producer caught fire yet again on Monday.
 
Bryant senior guard Peter Kiss (New York, NY/Notre Dame Prep (Rutgers/Quinnipiac)) dropped 31 points on 10-20 shooting and 5-10 from long distance in the Bulldogs’ 82-52 win over Saint Francis U.
 
It marked his third 30+ point outing of the season, the most in the NEC. Kiss has accounted for three of the top four scoring games by conference ballers this season.
 
Kiss is the first NEC player to hit 30 on three occasions in a season since SHU’s Sean Hoehn, CCSU’s Tyler Kohl and RMU’s Josh Williams cracked 30 three times apiece back in 2018-19.
 
With 12 league games remaining plus potential NEC Tournament games, Kiss can make a run at Mount’s Junior Robinson, who reached 30 points on five occasions in 2017-18.
 
Kiss is averaging a whopping 24.2 ppg in NEC play.
 
MORE KISS TRIVIA
 
Bryant senior guard Peter Kiss (New York, NY/Notre Dame Prep (Rutgers/Quinnipiac)) assembled another unique stat line following a terrific all-around showing in Monday’s victory over SFU.
 
Kiss became the first player in the nation this season with at least 31 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in a game.
 
Over the last decade, only 17 players have met those minimums, and a few of those names should be quite familiar, including a pair of NBA stars.
 
- Elfrid Payton (Louisiana) - 34/11/11/5 vs. Louisiana-Monroe (1/14/14)
- Ben Simmons (LSU) - 43/14/7/5 vs. North Florida (12/2/15)
 
In addition, former Sacred Heart player Quincy McKnight turned the trick with 44/9/6/4 against Bryant back on January 14, 2017.
 
NEC BIG GAME FEELS
 
Something has to give.
 
A pair of win streaks will be on the line on Friday when two of the NEC’s hottest teams meet up in Brooklyn.
 
First place Wagner will put its seven game streak on the line while LIU looks to extend its four game run in what should be an entertaining battle of two teams that like to get up and down the court.
 
In NEC play, Wagner ranks first in the league with 83.0 ppg, while LIU is piling up 75.7 ppg.
 
How they get there is a different story.
 
LIU has scored 32.4 percent of its points against league rivals via the three-pointer, while Wagner has had a mere 9.0 percent of its production come via the triple.
 
It will also be a showcase of two of the league’s most entertaining high flyers who appear to be involved in a game of dunking one upsmanship.
 
After Wagner’s Elijah Ford (Newark, NJ/Weequahic (Barton CC (KS)) threw down a monstrous windmill dunk in Saturday’s win over SFBK, LIU’s Kyndall Davis (Chicago, IL/Bogan) came back 48 hours later with his own skyscraping windmill during the Sharks’ win over the Terriers.
 
All the action starts at 7 pm on NEC Front Row and the NEC on the Run series of apps.
 
PIONEER POINT
 
Sacred Heart is a perfect 7-0 this season when holding opponents to 1.0 points per possession or less and is 0-10 when allowing in excess of that amount.
 
Last week, the Pioneers limited both FDU and CCSU to 0.97 PPP in a pair of wins.
 
SHARKS DELIVER FIRST BITE IN BATTLE FOR BROOKLYN
 
While the actual Battle of Brooklyn takes place at the Steinberg Wellness Center on February 10 (TV: ESPN3), the opening salvo in the NEC’s fiercest rivalry was fired on Monday at the Pope Center.
 
Hitting all the right notes, LIU delivered an outstanding defensive effort in posting an 80-65 win over St. Francis Brooklyn.
 
The Sharks limited the Terriers to 34.3 percent shooting from the field, 0.88 PPP and registered 12 steals while forcing 16 turnovers.
 
LIU sophomore guard Kyndall Davis (Chicago, IL/Bogan) scored a game-high 19 points - two off his career-high - and added three steals. He was one of four Sharks in double digits.
 
LIU has won three straight and four of the last five in series between the two rivals that has produced a host of classic games that we’ll cover prior to the BOB in February.
 
MOUNT TURNS DEFENSIVE IN CRUNCH TIME
  
Looking to close out its longest road trip of the NEC schedule, Mount St. Mary’s turned to its old bread and butter to secure a win.
 
Nursing a three-point lead, the Mount defense held Merrimack scoreless over the final 4:49 to close out a 57-50 win in North Andover.
 
In that span, the Warriors went 0-8 from the field. For the game, the Mount limited MC to 0.85 PPP and a .418 effective field goal percentage.
 
The 50 points were the fewest the Mount has allowed in an NEC contest since a 64-46 win over LIU on February 12, 2021.
 
OLD SCHOOL SEAHAWKS
 
Wagner averaged 88.0 points per game last week in a most unconventional way...at least in this day and age.
 
There were some old school vibes in Spiro last week when the Seahawks scored just 15 of their 176 points from three-point range, hitting 5-25 shots from distance.
 
The Green & White did not hit a single three-pointer in Saturday’s 81-76 victory over St. Francis Brooklyn, but didn’t seem to miss a beat.
 
Here’s why.
 
Wagner hit 33-50 shots (.660) from two-point range, outscored the Terriers 60-30 in the paint, scored 1.23 PPP and posted a .569 effective field goal percentage.
 
Two days later, the Seahawks managed to hit 5-17 from downtown in a 95-64 conquest of FDU, but it was the damage inside the arc that did in the Knights. Wagner converted 34-51 two-point shots (.667), built a 62-26 scoring edge in the paint and posted a season-high (against DI opponents) 1.27 PPP while pushing its effective FG percentage up to .610.
 
On the season, Wagner ranks first in the nation with 65.0 percent of its scoring coming on two-point makes. Conversely, the Seahawks receive just 17.2 percent of their output from three-pointers which ranks 356th out of 358 teams nationwide.
 
Likewise, Wagner’s 56.0 percent success rate on two-point opportunities ranks 20th in DI.
 
NEC ANALYTICS ZONE WITH RYAN PETERS
 
Each week throughout the 2021-22 season, NEC Overtime! blogger and NEC on the Run podcast collaborator Ryan Peters (@pioneer_pride) will contribute a series of analytically based tidbits covering NEC hoops.
 
In its impressive victory over Saint Francis University on Monday evening, Bryant achieved a pristine Game Score of 96 per the analytics site BartTorvik.com. It was the best Game Score of the season for the Bulldogs, who are now surging during league play. In the victory, Bryant committed a turnover on just 12 percent of their possessions - also a season best - while holding the Red Flash to an effective field goal percentage of 36.9 percent.
 
LIU won the latest iteration of the Battle of Brooklyn mainly by imposing their tempo on the hosting Terriers. Per Shot Quality, LIU had 29 opportunities in transition, which accounted for 35 percent of its possessions. While Shot Quality did not consider LIU’s transition shots as terribly efficient with a 0.96 SQ point per possession mark, LIU still outscored their Brooklyn rival 39 to 10 in fast break points. Over the course of their four game winning streak, Derek Kellogg’s group is a remarkable +81 on fast break points over their league counterparts.
 
Everyone knows what Adham Eleeda’s (Toronto, Ontario/Toronto Basketball Academy (Northern Kentucky)) role is on the court - he’s an elite floor spacer for Bryant. Perhaps most impressive with Eleeda’s perimeter prowess is how Jared Grasso utilizes the senior. Of Eleeda’s copious amounts of triples, 113 of those, or 94 percent of his 3-point attempts per Shot Quality, have been of the catch-and-shoot variety. In league play thus far, only 13 percent of Bryant’s shots have been threes produced off-the-dribble, which is the smallest percentage of any NEC team in conference play.
 
One reason why Raekwon Rogers (Little Rock, AR/Little Rock Central) possesses a terrific 125.9 KenPom offensive rating is his low turnover rate of 9.9 percent. While 3-point shooters typically have low turnover rates - it’s easy not to turn the ball over when most of what you do is catching and shooting triples - Rogers has the second best turnover rate in the NEC, behind only Merrimack’s Mykel Derring (a three-point shooter). The 6-foot-8 center is far from a role player, registering a possession rate north of 23 percent as he’s highly utilized as a post option in Wagner’s half-court attack.
 
Per BartTorvik.com, three of the league’s five most valuable players are part of Bashir Mason’s 10-2 Wagner squad. When you go by the site’s PORPAGATU! metric which measure a player’s points above replacement value, Alex Morales (Paterson, NJ/Mainland Regional (Prince George’s CC))  (4.3, 1st), Raekwon Rogers (Little Rock, AR/Little Rock Central)  (3.3, 4th) and Will Martinez (Bronx, NY/Wings Academy (Monroe College)) (3.1, 5th) join Sacred Heart’s Aaron Clarke (Parsippany, NJ/Pope John) (3.6, 2nd) and LIU’s Ty Flowers (Waterbury, CT/Sacred Heart (UMass)) (3.5, 3rd) to comprise the league’s top five. Last season, Wagner’s Elijah Ford (Newark, NJ/Weequahic (Barton CC (KS)) led the conference in PORPAGATU! with a 3.9 value. He’s currently 16th this season at 1.7, placing four Seahawks’ in the league’s top 16.
 
JEFFERSON BACK IN BUSINESS
  
Needing an offensive boost on Monday, the Mount turned to a veteran post presence.
 
Senior forward Malik Jefferson (Hopewell, VA/Hopewell) broke out in a big way with 16 points on 7-10 shooting to go along with nine boards, three assists and three blocks.
 
For Jefferson, who had averaged just 3.0 ppg in league play heading into the contest, it matched his season-high.
 
MILESTONES FOR PENN
  
LIU redshirt senior forward Eral Penn (Brooklyn, NY/St. Francis Academy (MD)), a first team All-NEC honoree last season, pulled down his 500th career rebound in Monday’s win over SFBK. He also eclipsed the 750-point mark. Penn enters this week with 758 points and 504 rebounds.
 
THIS WEEK ON NEC-TV
 
Following the early January barn burner between Bryant and Wagner, NEC-TV returns to the airwaves on Friday when CCSU heads out to Loretto to face Saint Francis U. The game will air live on ESPN+ at 7 pm.
 
Dave Popkin (PxP) and Joe DeSantis (analyst) are in the booth.
 
The 13-game men’s TV package includes a pair of linear telecasts on CBSSN and one on ESPNU. Seven regular season games will be broadcast on ESPN3/ESPN+ with two games also airing on SNY and one on MASN.
 
The NEC semifinals are set to be carried on SNY and ESPN3 on March 5, and the final on ESPN or ESPN2 on March 8.
 
KRIMMEL QUOTE OF THE WEEK
  
Back with some more from the NEC’s Quotemaster General...
 
Saint Francis U head coach Rob Krimmel offered up his thoughts after SFU’s win at Merrimack on Saturday:
 
“You can never underestimate the power of a win. We have been close with the LIU game and we played well in the first half against Wagner and St. Francis Brooklyn game. It’s been a tale of two halves for us, being able to put back-to-back halves together so that is a big confidence boast. Getting a win on the road against an undefeated team certainly is for confidence, but now it is important to put back-to-back performances together.”
 
NUMBER CRUNCHING
  
CCSU junior guard Ian Krishnan (Gaithersburg, MD/Proctor Academy) hit 8-19 (.421) from three-point land last week and averaged 15.5 ppg. He ranks ninth in the NEC with 15.4 ppg in conference play.
 
CCSU freshman swingman Trenton McLaughlin (Chandler, AZ/Basha) sank 6-8 from beyond the arc and contributed 11.5 ppg in two games last week. He equaled his career-high with 13 points at SHU on Monday. In NEC play, McLaughlin averages 10.3 ppg on 60.0 percent shooting and his 9-13 (.692) mark on three-pointers leads the conference.
 
FDU sophomore forward John Square Jr. (North Bethesda, MD/St. John’s College) comes off a strong week that included 14.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.5 spg and 1.5 bpg. He shot 66.7 percent from the field. Square finished one point shy of his career-best with 18 points on 8-12 shooting in Saturday’s game at SHU. He did match his career-high with nine boards.

FDU freshman guard Antoine Jacks (Greenbelt, MD/Our Lady of Good Counsel) scored a career-high 11 points in just 13 minutes at Wagner on Monday. He made 3-5 shots and contributed four rebounds and a steal.
 
LIU sophomore guard Kyndall Davis (Chicago, IL/Bogan) has swiped the ball 14 times in his last four games and now ranks sixth in the league with 1.8 per game.

Sacred Heart sophomore forward Bryce Johnson (Stockton, CA/St. Mary’s (Pomfret)) had his best game of the conference season on Monday with nine points and a season-high 13 rebounds in a 74-66 win over CCSU. The 13 boards were one shy of his career-high.
 
St. Francis Brooklyn graduate student forward Jack Hemphill (Raleigh, NC/Ravenscroft (Boston U)) contributed 10.5 ppg last week and has recorded 7.8 ppg in NEC play after completing the non-conference season averaging 2.8 ppg.
 
After compiling 1.1 ppg and 1.1 rpg over his first 25 collegiate games, Saint Francis U seven-footer Jeriah Coleman (Anchorage, AK/Great Bridge Christian [VA)) has turned into a reliable option off the bench the last two weeks for the Flash. Over his last four games, Coleman has produced 6.3 ppg, 4.0 rpg and 2.5 bpg. In league play, the sophomore ranks fourth with 1.8 bpg.
