Bonner is the only returning player who was a reliable scoring threat last season.

), the Yellow Jackets faltered at the very end of their season, posting back-to-back losses, allowing WashU to take the conference crown. Look for O’Brien as Wesleyan’s lock-down man and floor general this year.The beauty of Wesleyan’s team this year is that almost every stud, or even starter, was, by the end of the year last year, someone coach Joe Reilly looked to consistently and with confidence.

Good luck to Baines and the Tigers, they got a good one.Hamilton continued their hot start against Wesleyan last weekend, winning by a score of 92-76 to improve to 10-2 overall and 2-0 in conference. The Conn victory was led by the three-point attack of the Ephs, as they drained 15-34 from deep in the game. I will give each team’s stock report in order of last week’s power rankings, so don’t read too deeply into the order of teams listed.

This weekend raised many questions. Williams is basically playing with four guards and C Edward Flynn ’16 for stretches with a couple of freshmen forwards coming off of the bench. But 23 rebounds in one game? Despite taking the most three point shots in the league by a considerable margin, they have the third-lowest percentage. Williams is the second worst rebounding team in the league, and neither James Heskett ‘19 nor Matt Karpowicz ‘20 nor Marcos Soto ‘19 has been nearly consistent enough offensively to worry opposing teams.

I’d love to avoid the cliche, but hey, defense wins championships.

He made the team and completed his final 3 years in Vermont as the team’s starting kicker.

Robinson only played one season at Williams before transferring to the University of Michigan for his final three years of college*. In the second half, KJ Garrett and Everett Dayton have really taken the reigns offensively in the absence of Palleschi, and Second Team All-NESCAC selection Tarik Smith has continued his steady production from the point guard slot. The Falcons won the GNAC Championship handily against a mediocre Lesley squad, but it was their slimmest margin of victory in the GNAC tournament – just 18 points. The question is Ogundeko. On Saturday in New London, Joseph Kuo and Andrew Gardiner pulled the rope. Four Cardinals averaged more than 10 points per game last season; guards BJ Davis ’16, Harry Rafferty ’15 and Jack Mackey ’16, as well as forward Joseph Kuo ’15.And therein lies the strength of Wesleyan’s 2015-2016 unit; every single one of those players is back. Both teams earned at-large bids despite earlier than expected exits from the NESCAC tournament, a testament to their consistency and the strength of the conference. However, many of the teams that Wesleyan beat last season have retooled significantly in the offseason.

No other team relied so heavily on so few players. Probably. Because of his size, teams sometimes try to collapse into the paint to clog up the middle. 11-1 heading into their first NESCAC game, Wesleyan seemed to be overlooked. They need the freedom to lose one of those games and still be in contention for a high seed. Led by 6’8” forward Riley Naclerio, who scores 19.1 PPG, the Saints have a formidable counter to St. John Fisher’s big man. They shocked Amherst last Sunday, owning the paint en route to an 83-76 OT win. What the did do well, however, was attack the paint and get to the foul line much more consistently than the Cardinals. Sears starting has been a key to Wesleyan’s turnaround.Wesleyan is a team that will try to beat you up, particularly in the paint. But the Ephs haven’t been able to put together those two components of their machine yet this year.

The Cardinals used a balanced attack to overcome a rough start to league play last year (Middlebury made them look like my JV middle school squad last season in Week 2 of the NESCAC schedule) to beat top teams Trinity and Amherst on their way to the championship. However, Rochester seems like a very top-heavy lineup. Williams, on the other hand, comes in at 1-3 and has looked like one of the bottom teams in the league. Zach Baines is no longer ‘out indefinitely’ as Pete put it. And Wesleyan is certainly an elite defense.

It was their trademark balance that carried the Jumbos in that game, as every starter scored in double figures as well as KJ Garrett ‘18 off the bench. Additionally, Palleschi is the biggest shot blocking presence on the roster, and even if he is feeling better this weekend than last, I doubt that his knee will be healthy enough for him to impact shots in the paint the same way that he used to.

Roll Pants, thanks for proving me wrong. He scored consistently last season, and was 8-8 with 16 points against Mitchell last weekend. Injury struck again late in the season when Salim Green missed 5 games, but he returned in time for the playoffs.

Fortunately for Tufts, St. John Fisher does not shoot well from the perimeter.

When Rafferty, Bonner, and Nathan Krill all shoot pretty well from beyond the arc, and when the Cards take care of the ball and take smart shots, their offense runs very smoothly. They’ve got the talent to score a TON, and if they defend consistently, I see Wesleyan playing deep into both the NESCAC and national tournaments this winter.When Wesleyan is stagnant offensively, it’s because they are not moving the ball enough. While Middlebury (ranked #15) has less losses than the Jumbos and Purple & White, it seems like the polls are pretty accurate at this point with little disparity between the top NESCAC teams.Can you believe that in the last national poll Wesleyan was ranked #9 in the country and now they are out of the top 25?
