Top Seeded Quinnipiac Hosts #2 Seeded Robert Morris on Wednesday for the Northeast Conference Men’S Basketball Title Northeast Conference 399 Campus Drive • 1st Floor • Somerset, NJ 08873 (732) 469-0440 • Fax (732) 469-0744 • www.northeastconference.org For Immediate Release March 9, 2010 Men’s Basketball Contact: Ron Ratner Phone: 732-469-0440, Ext. 6 [email protected] Who Will Go Dancing? Top Seeded Quinnipiac Hosts #2 Seeded Robert Morris On Wednesday For The Northeast Conference Men’s Basketball Title Somerset, NJ -- Last November eleven Northeast Conference (NEC) teams began the season with dreams of playing on March 10th. Of those, eight successfully made it to March and the start of the madness. Now, on the eve of the 2010 NEC Men’s Basketball Championship game, only two are left standing in pursuit of one of the most coveted prizes in collegiate sports: the automatic berth to the NCAA Basketball Tournament that will be awarded to tomorrow’s winner. Robert Morris (22-11, 15-3 NEC), the defending NEC champion and tournament’s second seed, will travel to top-seeded Quinnipiac (23-8, 15-3 NEC) in the conference title tilt at the TD Bank Sports Center in Hamden, CT at 7:00 pm. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN2, ESPN2HD and ESPN 360. Bob Wischusen and Tim Welsh are set to call the action. Each team’s road to the title game has come on their respective home floors. Quinnipiac downed eighth-seeded Monmouth, 84-75, last Thursday before ousting fourth-seeded Long Island, 83-78, in Sunday’s semifinals. Robert Morris dispatched Central Connecticut State, 71- 63, in quarterfinal round play then eliminated third-seeded Mount St. Mary’s, 80-62, in the semis. This season marks the third time in the last four years that the top two seeds will meet in the NEC title game. In 2007, top-seeded CCSU defeated #2 Sacred Heart, 74-70. A year ago, #1 Robert Morris beat #2 Mount St. Mary’s, 48-46. In 14 NEC championship games featuring the two highest seeded teams, the #1 seed has won ten times and the #2 seed four times. In a related note, only three NEC Tournaments - in 1987, 1991 and 1994 - have gone exactly according to seeding. A Quinnipiac win on Wednesday would make it the fourth. Quinnipiac and Robert Morris met just once this season back on February 20th in Moon Township, PA. With the Colonials needing a win over the Bobcats to clinch the top seed in the NEC Tournament, it was Quinnipiac sophomore guard James Johnson (Brooklyn, NY/Bishop Loughlin) who stole the show. Johnson poured in a career-high 28 points and added six assists as the Bobcats scored the 87-79 road victory. The two teams finished tied for first place and were declared co-regular season champions, but it was Quinnipiac that earned the #1 seed and automatic berth to the Postseason NIT based on the head-to-head win. The two programs also met in last year’s NEC semifinals, with Robert Morris pulling away in the second half for a 75-48 victory. Three days later, the Colonials defeated Mount St. Mary’s, 48-46, on its home floor to capture the NEC championship. (Page 1-of-4; Who Will Go Dancing?) Bryant University (2012-13) • Central Connecticut State University • Fairleigh Dickinson University Long Island University • Monmouth University • Mount St. Mary’s University • Quinnipiac University Robert Morris University • Sacred Heart University • St. Francis (NY) College Saint Francis (PA) University • Wagner College The championship game will feature the NEC’s premier offensive unit going up against one of the league’s elite defensive squads. Quinnipiac leads the NEC in scoring at 74.3 ppg and has cracked 80 points in four of the last five games. Over the last ten contests, the Bobcats are averaging 81.1 points per outing. Conversely, Robert Morris ranks second in the conference field goal percentage defense (.410) and three- point percentage defense (.325). The Colonials have held their last four opponents to 63 or fewer points. The “X” factor in the game could be the Bobcats’ ability to attack the glass. Quinnipiac has jumped over both Michigan State and Kentucky and now ranks first in the nation in rebound margin at +9.5 per game. The Bobcats are also ranked fourth nationally in rebound percentage (the percentage of an opponents’ missed shots that are rebounded successfully) at 57.4 percent. Interestingly, Robert Morris has also been dominant on the boards in the NEC Tournament, outrebounding opponents by 6.5 per game, compared to Quinnipiac’s +8.0 per game. The title tilt will also serve as a national showcase for the NEC’s top player and top rookie. Quinnipiac junior forward Justin Rutty (New- burgh, NY/Newburgh Free Academy) was named NEC Player of the Year and Robert Morris freshman guard Karon Abraham (Pater- son, NJ/Harp Academy) was the unanimous choice for NEC Rookie of the Year in voting conducted by league head coaches last week. Rutty has become the face of a program that has reinvented itself through its ability to attack the glass. Unmatched physically by his conference peers, the Newburgh, NY native leads the NEC in rebounding for the second straight year and is ninth nationally with 11.0 rpg. Rutty has also earned recognition as one of the top offensive rebounders in the nation. After finishing second nationally in offensive rebounding as a sophomore, he ranks third in Division I this season with 4.9 per game. Along with his ferocious work on the boards, the 6’7”, 240 lb. Rutty continued to refine his offensive game in 2009-10 and enters the title game third in the conference in field goal percentage (.537) and eighth in scoring (15.2 ppg). He has compiled a conference-best 16 double-doubles on the year and 29 over the course of his career, a Quinnipiac Division I record. In just three years, Rutty has moved up to 15th on the NEC career rebounding chart with 791 and has a good chance of ending his career as both the league’s all-time leader in the category and the first 1,500-point/1,000-rebound player in conference history. The smallest starter in the conference, Abraham took little time to develop into a big-time player for the Colonials this season. The graduation of 2008-09 NEC Player of the Year Jeremy Chappell and a season-ending injury to starter Jimmy Langhurst resulted in Abraham stepping into the starting lineup for the Colonials, who didn’t miss a beat in claiming a share of their third consecutive NEC regular season title. Abraham not only leads all NEC freshman in scoring at 13.3 ppg, but is the only conference freshman to lead his team in point production. With a quick first step and incredible elevation on his shot, the 5’9” shooting guard has almost unlimited shooting range. Abraham has drilled 79 three-pointers on the year, and ranks second in the league in three-point percentage (.449) and fourth in three-pointers per game (2.4). Automatic from the line, he leads the NEC in free throw percentage at 87.1 percent. Abraham recently set the Robert Morris single-season freshman record for points, and has scored 438 heading into Wednesday’s game. Tonight’s coaches have combined to win the last three Jim Phelan (NEC) Coach of the Year honors. They should also be accustomed to the big game atmosphere and the bright lights of ESPN. Quinnipiac’s Tom Moore was a longtime assistant at UConn, while Mike Rice of Robert Morris served as an assistant at Pittsburgh. In what has been a breakthrough season for Quinnipiac, Moore has his sights set on one more milestone - bringing home an NEC Tournament championship to Hamden. In just his third year, Moore has led the Bobcats to a school record 23 wins this season, a perfect 14-0 mark at home and a best-ever 15-3 record against conference opponents. In doing so, Quinnipiac earned a share of its first NEC regular season title and will take part in the postseason - either the NCAA or Postseason NIT - for the first time in its Division I history. Bolstered by the outstanding inside-outside duo of Rutty and senior guard James Feldeine (New York, NY/Cardinal Hayes), Moore has forced the opposition to take a pick-your-poison approach to playing his squad. Even if the shots aren’t falling, the Bobcats’ success on the boards has made them difficult to beat. Moore, who was recently named the 2009-10 Jim Phelan Coach of the Year, has now posted a winning conference record in all three of his seasons and is 36-18 against NEC competition. In leading Robert Morris to a share of its third consecutive NEC regular season championship, Rice has already managed to etch his name throughout the league’s record book. Faced with the loss of NEC Player of the Year Jeremy Chappell and NEC Defensive Player of the Year Bateko Francisco to graduation, along with a season-ending injury to starting senior guard Jimmy Langhurst (Willard, OH/Willard), Rice has kept the Colonials flying high in 2009-10, sparked by the all-freshman backcourt of Abraham and Velton Jones (Philadelphia, PA/ Northeast). In three seasons under Rice, the Colonials are 46-8 (.852) in NEC play, the best three year stretch in league history in terms of wins and winning percentage. In his short tenure, Robert Morris has also become the second team in NEC history to post three straight 20-win seasons, and now holds conference records for most wins over two (50, 2007-09) and three (72, 2007-10) year spans.
