NEC conference play started very briefly back in November. It looks like there will be a very interesting competition throughout the season. Many of the teams struggled finishing up the non-conference schedule. 6 of the 11 teams in the conference are coming into conference play with a sub-.500 record. As of now, there seems like there is no true front runner of the conference. January 3 is when the conference play really begins. Central Connecticut State heads over to face Wagner, Monmouth heads to Pittsburgh to play Robert Morris, Mount St. Mary's goes up to New York to face St. Francis, and the Red Flash get to play host to Quinnipiac.

BREAKING NEWS

BROOKLYN, NY - An investigation started on January 2 at Long Island University. After early success in the men's college basketball season, the head coach Sean Powell has been taken under investigation for using PEDs with his players. The issue was first brought to the NCAA after the Blackbirds travelled to New Hampshire nearly a month ago. The New Hampshire athletic director found a few pills left in one of the lockers used by the Blackbirds. No word has been given about who has participated by taking the prohibited substances. The NCAA hopes to have the investigation wrapped up quickly since conference play is starting across the country. As for the time being, Long Island University has suspended Coach Powell for as long as it takes for the investigation to be completed. More will be posted as the investigation is being wrapped up.

"I never have given my players PEDs. I do not know where those came from and why they were in the locker room at New Hampshire. Our recent success has been done by hard work and diligent practicing, not with the aid of steroids and other drugs. I hope that the NCAA finds out this truth at the end of this investigation. I'm sad that we've been accused of this because we started to win."

Surprisingly strong start for the Blackbirds. I had a legacy with them back in CH 2K6 or so.

Congrats on the win over NJIT. Seeing as how I've lost to them...twice...it's good to see someone using LIU properly. The name of my guys are different but looking at our rosters, the best players for me have been Ryan, Martin, Galbreath, and Kowalczuk. Galbreath and Kowalczuk more so because my shooting skills aren't the best and I prefer to pound the ball inside. Martin was up and down with his effort and Ryan was the best scorer hands down, sucks I only got to use him for one season.

Here's to finishing the season strong.

NCAA Closes Investigation

BROOKLYN, NY - It has been 2 weeks since the NCAA began investigating Long Island's head coach Sean Powell for the use of PEDs with his players. After some hard search and effort by the staff working with the NCAA Coach Powell has been proven of using PEDs with his players. The dealer of the PEDs has been found and the players that have been involved in this "system" have also been figured out. Sources say that Coach Powell started giving his players PEDs after the first few weeks of the season, conveniently just before they began to win games. Sources say that the assistant coaches had no clue that this was going on and neither did the Athletic Director at the university. There were several several boosters that were involved in the program that helped to contribute to the payment of PEDs. As a result of the findings of the investigation the NCAA has suspended Coach Powell from collegiate basketball indefinitely. He is also going to be convicted for the use of illegal drugs. Since he is going to be removed as the head coach the interim head coach is going to be Patrick Samuelson, one of the assistant coaches. The players involved with this "system" were Mani Galbreath, Fred Kowalczuk, Jalon Ryan, Preston Wafer, and Stefan Norwood. The NCAA has yet to make a decision about what suspension these players are going to have. For the time being, the university has suspended these players for 4 games following the results of the investigation. Rumors say that these players are facing possible expulsion from the university and no possibility to play college basketball again.
