RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk has coupled back-to-back wins together to sit 15-8 on the year and 10-6 in CCC action, good for a three-way tie for third.  

The foursome of Keenan Roberstson (19.3 ppg), Aidan Sullivan (11.7 ppg), William Rowe (11.2 ppg) and Cole LeVangie (11.2 ppg) each average double figure to anchor the Rams' 74.4 ppg offensive output. 

Defensively, Robertson's 6.9 rpg lead the blue-and-gold's 39.5 rpg effort, which receives 6.6 rpg from Rowe and 6.2 rpg by LeVangie. 

GET TO KNOW THE GOLDEN BEARS
Like Suffolk, Western New England has put back-to-back wins together to head into the midweek match 18-5 overall and 13-3 in CCC action, good for second in the league standings.  

The Golden Bears' 81.5 ppg offense is powered by the foursome of Jake Harrison (17.3 ppg), Tim Restall (16.0 ppg), Gavin Greene (13.7 ppg) and Brian Geitner (12.6 ppg). 

Restall's 9.7 rpg and Harrison's 9.1 rpg pace WNE's 39.2 rpg effort on the glass. 

WE MEET AGAIN
Conor Creane and Aidan Sullivan put on a shooting clinic with 11 3-pointers between the twosome, but it would not be enough for Suffolk men's basketball as the Rams fell to Western New England, 75-68, in their Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Wednesday, Nov. 30 at Larry E. and Michael S. Smith Court.
