Boys’ Basketball Roundup: Top-seed Colonia cruises, while Somerville, South Plainfield, Middlesex, Manville, Timothy Christian all win first round games in state tourney play Six of 14 boys' basketball teams in the Central Jersey Sports Radio coverage area won their opening round NJSIAA state tournament games Friday night, after waiting two days to play due to the aftermath of this weekend's blizzard. (We're still waiting on a Non-Public North B score from the Wardlaw-Hartridge game against Pioneer Academy, which was a 4:30 pm tip.)

Updated NJSIAA State Tournament schedule with boys’ and girls’ times for first round play With the weekend snowstorm pushing back the first two rounds of the public sectionals in the NJSIAA state basketball tournament, most games stayed at the same times, just pushed two days later. Monday, the NJSIAA postponed Tuesday's first round for public sectionals in Groups 2 and 4, moving them to Thursday, when the quarterfinals were supposed to take place. That pushes the quarterfinals to Saturday, but keeps the rest of the schedule in tact, with semifinals still set for next Tuesday, March 3.

More changes made to NJSIAA state basketball tournament, as Wednesday games are shifted to Friday As one coach texted us this afternoon, "Will this tournament ever be played?" Not yet, apparently, as New Jersey digs out from a near-record blizzard that affected the entire Northeast Sunday into Monday, and now beyond. Monday, the NJSIAA postponed the entire slate of opening round games that were originally scheduled Tuesday for public schools in Group 2 and 4 sections.

NJSIAA postpones Day One of state high school basketball tournament, moving Tuesday’s games to Thursday A record-setting (if not, close to it) blizzard that socked New Jersey Sunday into Monday and will have people cleaning up for a while has forced the NJSIAA to postpone Tuesday's opening day of the state high school basketball tournament. Public school sections in Groups 2 and 4 would have begun play Tuesday, with the second round originally set for Thursday, the sectional semis next Tuesday and finals next Friday.

How would a shot clock in New Jersey high school basketball really affect play? We watched four random games to find out. With the NJSIAA's full membership set to vote in May whether to introduce a shot clock in high school basketball, the debate has intensified among players, coaches, fans, even administrators. While many coaches believe it would be better for the game - eliminating long periods where teams with a lead, or looking for the last shot of the game or quarter, simply hold the ball - those opposed often cite the cost of both the equipment and personnel, as well as the logistics.

INSTANT REPLAY – GIRLS: No. 3 Gill St. Bernard’s 67, No. 2 St. Thomas Aquinas 62 Third-ranked Gill St. Bernard's got a career high 31 points from senior guard Addy Platt - all but three of which came in the second half, 14 each in the third and fourth quarters - to beat No. 2 St. Thomas Aquinas, 67-62, in a GMC-Skyland Conference crossover game.

Final CJSR regular season broadcast pits No. 2 vs. No. 3 as St. Thomas Aquinas girls visit Gill St. Bernard’s A matchup between St. Thomas Aquinas and Gill St. Bernard's is rare. While the two prominent girls' basketball programs met last year, with Gill claiming a 67-54 win last January 12th in the Coaches' Choice St. Thomas College Challenge on the Trojans' home floor, the last time they had played was in 2008, a three-point win for the Knights. Gill has a different look this season, graduating a slew of talent like Gandy Malou-Mamel (UConn), Sidney Quinn (Naval Academy) and others.

In final few weeks of the regular season, most GMC, Skyland boys’ division titles are settled The Somerset County Tournament was seeded Monday night, and the Greater Middlesex Conference will take its turn one week from today. But there are still division titles up for grabs in both leagues. So, who already has hardware, and who's still fighting for a banner? Here's a look at the GMC and Skyland Conference division races as we hurtle toward the postseason.

No. 1 Rutgers Prep takes Skyland Conference Delaware Division title, tops No. 3 Gill St. Bernard’s, 51-44 Rutgers Prep may have been 20-7 a year ago, but the 2024-25 high school basketball season was disappointing for Mary Klinger's squad. They were co-champs in the Skyland Conference Delaware Division, but failed to make the Somerset County Tournament final for the first time in a decade, and lost in the Non-Public South B title game. This year's team used it as fuel, though, and is already back on track.

Always a battle, No. 1 Rutgers Prep, No. 3 Gill St. Bernard’s square off Thursday night on CJSR With the way the Skyland Conference changed its scheduling matrix this year - going away from home-and-home division series an instead playing once through, with more crossovers - Thursday night's big clash between Rutgers Prep and Gill St. Bernard's will be their first this season. And while it won't matter for the Somerset County Tournament - in which the Argonauts were voted the top seed by the coaches Monday night…

SCT’s top seeds weren’t unexpected, but that doesn’t mean we know what to expect once things get underway It's a rule of life, or maybe of simple mathematics. No matter how many groups of teams you make, or how balanced they are, there's always going to be a division champion, and there will always be a last place team. That's the way it is. But one look around Somerset County basketball this season and you realize just about anything can happen when it comes to tournament time.

Few changes in Week 7 Bellamy & Son Paving Boys’ Basketball Top Ten, but Hillsborough joins the pack Once again,m there were few changes in the Bellamy & Son Paving Boys' Basketball Top Ten for Week 7, as Gill St. Bernard's and St. Joseph-Metuchen remain Nos. 1 and 2, while Hillsborough joins the back having won eight of its last nine games. No one dropped out this week, with two teams tied for tenth. At No. 1 is…

Deep-dive Boys’ basketball Power Point Breakdown: East Brunswick, Rutgers Prep, Gill St. Bernard’s occupy top spots, with a lot of basketball still to be played, and others still in the mix The NJSIAA Cutoff Date for the high school basketball state playoffs is just three weeks away, and this is the time teams are making a move in the standings. But it's not just teams looking to move up, get off the bubble, or earn a top seed or a first round home game. There could be some big changes now with a new NJSIAA tweak to this year's power point system, although it's really a slight return to the old formula.

Week 6 Bellamy & Son Paving Boys’ Basketball Top Ten holds steady; Gill, St. Joe’s remain 1-2 Six of the teams in the Bellamy & Son Paving boys' basketball rankings had perfect weeks last week, and it led to no changes in the Week Six Top Ten. Gill St. Bernard's (12-2) picked up a pair of league wins in the week gone by - 69-38 over No. 3 Pingry Tuesday, and 74-46 at Bridgewater-Raritan on Thursday. The Knights have won eight straight and - absent a big upset loss in the next week - should be the No.

After first win over rival Bound Brook in 20 years, Manville seeks season sweep at home Friday nite Hard to believe that two similar-size schools don't play each other every year in every sport, but that was the case for the past decade, as Manville and Bound Brook hadn't played each other in basketball for a decade. Maybe it had something to do with the Crusaders winning all 25 matchups between then from 2005 through 2015, by wide margins in the later years of that stretch.
