Quote from: ImTold on April 26, 2025, 08:25:28 PMI'm Told Trinity G Henry Vetter has entered the transfer portal

Mumbo was briefed on this news as well.

I'm watching old highlights of Nichols - Amherst and am now extremely disappointed I never played in front of a crowd at Amherst. They need to turn it around

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on March 23, 2025, 08:14:36 PMWho's taking Will Dorion's spot? Obviously his numbers didn't jump out at you, but definitely a key player. He played 33 minutes in each Final Four game, so he was important being on the floor.

Dorion will be missed but they will be fine. One of the bench guards will likely move into a starter role and need to understand they need to play the role. I've also noticed Trinity has absolute gym rats on the bench who don't even play - getting extra shots up immediately after games... they will be fine.

Quote from: jumbomumbo on March 22, 2025, 12:53:20 AMThe model fully expects Trinity to win. 3 variables are showing with significance in the model.

1. Trinity is deep.

2. The model thinks this Feeney kid can not control himself and that there is a high probability of it costing his team (if he even plays)

3. The model knows that Klatsky has been avoiding the Jumbos in regular season matchups. If he doesn't want to play Tufts in the regular season, he certainly doesn't want to play Trinity in the post season.

Trinity 65-59.

The model goes out on top! 64-60 final score, predicted 65-59.

Trinity was just too tough for anybody this year. Vetter completely took over the end of the game after a shaky start. Jarrell was an integral piece in that win especially in the first half. Wow. Nescac back on top.

Back2back nescac natty chips next year... tufts turn

Quote from: SpringSt7 on March 21, 2025, 10:00:47 AMIs the consensus among players/coaches that Callahan-Gold was the biggest piece to last year's team? Because to my untrained eye it seems very clear that most of their success over the last two years can/should be attributed to Henry Vetter

I can tell you that from within the Locker room there's obviously multiple pieces to key in on but last year it was ensuring that it was tough looks for BCG, and then go from there. Clearly didn't work out for us, but his is what what thought our best chance of a win was. By the sweet 16 game, we keyed in more on Vetter. Both years, there's just so much to keep track of and you can't have any defensive liabilities if you want to beat Trinity.

Yall are casuals man a NESCAC team just made the natty chip and no chatter... prob too busy sweating out Omaha +18 against St John's... smh

How about Trinity man... loses BCG, the biggest piece to last years team, and they beat Wesleyan for the 2nd time this year - the only team to beat them all year... to advance to the national championship game.

They don't just own Tufts; they own the NESCAC. Goodluck to Trin tomorrow against whoever they play... but tufts is gonna beat yall next year

Supposedly the hotel where the UAA teams are playing got evacuated at 3:15-3:45 am last night. Mumbo's models just skewed even further to the winner of Trin / Wes winning the natty. Bring it home boys!!!

I like the Bates optimism. I want to see it happen and it makes sense. They're good. As a player, it was always the game you knew would be a dogfight and come down to the final possession. They always give tufts issues, win or lose. I just wish they would win more games each year against the rest of the league so that random loss to bates doesn't hurt as much in the future. lol

Ricardo Nieves Tufts freshman would likely be ROTY next year on any other team, suspect he will be a 6th man or so on the current tufts roster. His highlight reel is insane, jumbo's only getting stronger. Have heard great things about Deacon Baretta too. Next year is THE year for Tufts.

Suspect it'll be Tufts / Trin at the top. Hamilton and WES fall off

Quote from: jumbomumbo on March 15, 2025, 01:04:22 PMTrinity 83-57 over catholic
Emory 77-72 over Wesleyan

Mumbo nailed the Trinity score pretty close but has struggling with predicting Wesleyan all year. Wesleyan consistently outperforms Mumbo's models. That being said,
Trinity 74-68 over Wesleyan to advance to the National championship likely against NYU.

Loved Coach Reilly calling a timeout with 0.8 seconds left in OT up 3 after Emory coach had already drawn up a play and players took the court. No idea what was changed but def screwed w the mind of Emory coach and I'd say it worked out well.

Trinity 83-57 over catholic
Emory 77-72 over Wesleyan

Mumbo's half-a**ed predictions because the model is heartbroken about the Jumbo's loss.

WPI 69-65 over Wesleyan. If anyone can guard Wesleyan, it is WPI and Trinity. They absolutely shut down tufts stars, and run a really precise offense. Engineers get a big one.

Trinity 77-70 over WNE. WNE played Trin very close (70-67) at the beginning of the year and both of these teams have only gotten better.
The trin home crowd and toughness wears the Golden Bears down over time. Trin has a one possession lead before the foul game ensues and Vetter clutches up at the line.
