Personally, I think starting conference play before December 15 is stupid (really shouldn't have any conf games before Christmas, but whatever) but I'm not making the schedule, so I'm gonna have to live with it. Here's the schedule:

Central Connecticut @ Bryant
Sacred Heart @ Quinnipiac
Wagner @ LIU
SFC @ Mount St. Mary's
Monmouth @ SFU
FDU @ Rob Morris

Saturday games:
Bryant @ Quinn
Sacred Heart @ Central
SFC @ Wagner
LIU @ Mount St. Mary
Monmouth @ Rob Morris
FDU @ SFU

I'll be back later with predictions

Thursday predictions:
Central 73 @ Bryant 74. Bryant's been awful this year, but this is their first and only home game from November 7 to Dec 31. That and the fact it's on TV (MSG+) and I'll give Bryant the slighest edge
SHU 76 @ Quinn 69. Aside from a win against Yale Quinn's done nothing this year. SHU has exceeded expectations this year.
Wagner 89 @ LIU 92. Best game of the day, and quite possibly could be the best of the season (though the rematch in February on Staten Island could have say). This will be high scoring as LIU can score at will, but also lets up points at will. First team to 85 wins this high scoring affair.
SFC 73 @ MSM 71. I've liked what SFC has done a tad better then what the Mount has done. Both have identical 1-4 records. MSM's win is @ Hartford who has 0 overall wins, SFC's lone win is @ NJIT who has 3 wins overall, but only 1 win against a division 1 team.
Monmouth 54 @ SFU 73. Each have identical 0-6 records. Monmouth is completely awful, could be one of the worst NEC teams of all time.
FDU 62 @ Rob Morris 75. How come it seems like every single season they start at home?? I cannot remember the last time they started up on the road.

Robert Morris started on the road last year at SFNY and LIU. In fact, they had their 1st four NEC games on the road.

Thursday results:

Sacred Heart 68-55 winner over Quinn. Good day, West Conn women won to go 6-0 on the year and SHU beat Quinn. What else could be better?? Tommy Moore has his work cut out for him, I know/recognize less than half the people on this year's roster.
SFC 64-54 winner over the Mount. Ben Mockford lead the way with 19 points
LIU 78-73 over Wagner. Tad less scoring than expected, but their going to have to play defense sooner or later, they've given up at least 75 points in 5 of their 7 games this year, and they were a Wagner basket away in this game from making it 6 of 7.
Rob Morris 66-54 over FDU. They were up 36-15 at halftime and cruised from there.
SFU gets first win with a 71-49 thrashing on Monmouth. Really, Monmouth may not win a game this year. Home games against MSM, Quinn, FDU and SFC are their 4 best and possibily only chances to get a win this year.
Central 83-51 over Central. Watching this right now. Central was up 13-0 before Bryant got on the board, lead 37-19 at halftime, and got worse somehow for Bryant in the second half
