I had a bad feeling about the UNCG game last night. They were after all picked to be number one in the division.

[HiHiYikas]

ASU, 81; Davidson 74

Takes a lot of the sting out of the losses against Elon and UNCG last week.


With its first victory at Davidson since 2002, Appalachian (14-5, 6-2 SoCon) handed DC (16-4, 7-1 SoCon) its first loss at home since Feb. 4, 2006 and snapped the nation’s second-longest winning streak at 12 games.

Lehigh heading for big showdown with Bucknell this coming Tuesday in Lewisburg, Pa. Both teams 4-1 in the Patriot. Bison haven't lost at home in over two years. However, the first game ever played at BU's new Sojka Pavillion was won by Lehigh several years ago, so I sense some good karma...;)

[I Bleed Purple]

Damnit. 0-2 on the Montana swing.

Puts us at 5-3.

[lambertjr]

I'll start paying attention when the tourney starts.

Last night The Cal Poly Basketball Team beat UC Santa Barbara 71-61 in Santa Barbara. That is the 2nd time Cal Poly has won in Santa Barbara since 1959.

[MoreheadEagle]

Morehead State is on its first losing streak of the season, dropping both games in Alabama to Samford and Jacksonville State. The Eagles are in a three or four way tie for third in the OVC. MSU hosts SEMO Wednesday night.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Not much to cheer about with Delaware's men's team.

The lady Hen's, however, are ranked 22nd in the latest RPI release and travel to JMU on Thursday to play a big game against the lady Dukes who are #24 in the current RPI. Should be a great game. :thumbsup:

[roberb7]

Virginia Tech 92, U. of Miami 85
Hurricanes got as close as 4 in the late going. Hokies now 5-1 in the ACC. Boston College defeated Florida State 85-82 tonight, so the Hokies still trail the Eagles by 1/2 game in the standings. They play each other on Feb. 3.

[MYTAPPY]

Unfourtunately Davidson ended up coming back to down Ga. Southern last night.
App takes on Furman tonight in Boone at 7.

[ngineer]

Lehigh got skunked at Bucknell last night. Both top shooters went cold--combined 5 for 28:eek: Until we get our big man back in the paint (about two weeks) teams won't be afraid to come out on the perimeter and get in our shooters faces. When Mgreboff is in there, defenses have to collapse more to defense him...Holy Cross on the road next up. Would be a huge upset to win in Worcester..

Although I am a fan of all things ASU and will be at the game, this ASU/FU
match up didn't keep me up the night before in anticipation:)

[HiHiYikas]

Furman hits a 3 with 11:02 to go in the second half, doesn't hit another field goal for 10:04.

Not a good way to finish a game. ASU down 57-52 midway through the second half, comes back to win 77-63.

ASU tied for 1st in the SoCon North again.

[FUwolfpacker]

I was wondering how long it would take for one of you ASU goobers to post that ;). jk

It was an awful finish for us. Sounded like we were getting good lucks but nothing was falling. Congrats to ASU on the win.

You outplayed us for 30 mins. We did not contest the 3 or force any turnovers until the last 10 mins. We turned it up and came away w/ a good win. Citadel & CofC coming up. We need a S.C. SoCon sweep.:thumbsup:

Morehead lost their third straight tonight. 61-59 Southeast Missouri thanks to a no-call on a MSU shot with 12 seconds left. We take on Eastern Ill. Saturday and should bounce back. Considering we only won 4 games last season, this season has been great.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Once again Temple snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. This time in Fran Dunphy's return to the Palestra against his former Penn team. Temple blew a 19 point second half lead to fall 76-74 against the Quakers. A Temple player fouled a Penn player for absolutely no reason sending him the line as time was about to run out and OT seemed inevetible. My Owls are now 7-11 on the season with a number of heart breaking losses. I can't believe how far we've fallen in the last 4-5 years. I still have faith that Dunphy can get things turned around but the undescipline play has been alarming.

Serious question here. Are you better off w/out Chaney?

[BearsCountry]

Anybody want Coach Hinson, please somebody offer him a big salary to take him off our hands.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Serious question here. Are you better off w/out Chaney?

I think we're better off without Chaney in the long. The hooligan thing really hurt our reputation as well as his, especially from a recruiting standpoint. Dunphy, atleast based on history, is an outstanding coach as well as a great leader for young men. Chaney's main problem was he recruited almost exclusively in the inner-city and with that came problems, especially in the last 4-5 years. I can't tell you the number of players we lost for part of or the entire season due to academics or descipline problems. He seemed to lose his touch with mentoring these type of kids at the end of his reign which is the main reason for Temple's slide in to mediocrity. The year before my Fr. year we were 8 points away from the Final 4 and on a string of 18 straight NCAA tourney appearances. Since then it's been a steady spiral downwards and i hope this us bottoming out.

Very true.

There is hope, however, as UD has some significant help coming in next year and a coach that seems able to get a lot of effort out of a team that usually finds itself severely over matched talent-wise.

Things will get better for the Hens!!!

Then again, it would be hard to get worse.

For the fourth year in the past five, Wofford has lost a leading scorer to a season-ending injury. Senior Eric Marshall tore an ACL this past weekend at College of Charleston, after having a season-ending knee injury in the other leg against Clemson last year.

Well Temple continued to commit basketball suicide tonight losing 96-92 to Duquense, a team basically made up of walkons due to the shooting tragedy late in the summer. This time Temple blew a 68-56 lead with 12 minutes left. Temple led the entire game until a Dukes play hit a jumper with 38 seconds left in the game. It's amazing we were actually in control of the game for so long since we committed 28 turnovers. We now stand at 7-12 overall and 1-5 in the A-10 which is good enough for a last place tie with Richmond. Thankfully are women's team is 15-5, 5-0 in the A-10 is a virtual lock for the NCAA tourney.

[I Bleed Purple]

Haha. 7-3 in conference with a win over EWU.

With that and an ISU loss, NUMBER 1 in conference baby. Back to where we belong. All that with what, three players from last year's roster? In two years, we're going to be VERY good.

Question for those that happen to live in the Charlotte area. The game tonight between App and CoC is on Comcast Sports South. Is there any place close by in South Carolina I can drive to (i.e. rock hill or fort mill) that carries it? Here in Charlotte Time Warner screws us and doesn't usually cary Comcast broadcast.

Tonights the battle of the A-10 cellar dwellers as Temple takes on Richmond. Richmond is 5-15 overall 1-6 in A-10 play, Temple is 7-12 overall 1-5 in conference play. Richmond is really really bad, only winning 2 games since November 20th and have lost the majority of their games by double digits. If we lose tonight we really will have hit a new low.

[Henwatcher]

Hens should be throwing up a clunker tonight at George Mason. Mason lost to UNCW and Hens upset Hofstra. Lock of the night has to be George Mason.

[crunifan]

BRING ON THE SHOCKERS!! any MVC people got some info on these fools?

Umm, they are pretty good. Definitely not as good as their non-conference performance indicated. But, since this game is in Wichita, I do expect the Shockers to beat you guys. Especially if they play like they did against UNI last night. If that happens, the Mountaineers will get smoked.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

In the A-10 basement no more!! Temple and Richmond were tied at half at 36 and then the Owls woke up outscoring the Spiders by 21 in the 2nd to garner a convincing 80-59. Richmond falls to 1-7 in conference play and 5-16 overall. With the win we stand at 2-5 in conference play and 8-12 overall.

There was a couple upsets tonight with Dayton beating then 15-4 George Washington and Duquense beating Xavier. The A-10 is looking increasingly likely a 1 bid conference. Umass and GW seem like they have the best chance at an at-large bid depending on how they finish the year and what happens in the conference tourney.

February 3, 2007

Box Score

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (AP) -- Devon Clarke scored 19 points and Iona ended its distinction as Division I's only winless team with a 69-57 win over Rider on Saturday.

Justin Marshall added 12 points, Mike Harris had 11 and DeShaune Griffin 10 for the Gaels (1-22, 1-12 Metro Atlantic), who had 23 straight losses dating back to the first round of last season's NCAA tournament.

Jason Thompson scored 18 points and Harris Mansell 14 for the Broncs (12-10, 6-6), who have lost four of their last six.

With three starters representing 30.3 points per game sidelined by injury or academics, Iona started five freshmen.

The Gaels last previous victory came March 6, 2006 when they beat St. Peter's 80-61 in the MAAC championship game.

The first half against Rider produced 12 lead changes with Iona on top at the break, 28-26, for only the fourth time this season.

The Broncs led by as many as five after Thompson made two free throws with 12:49 remaining to extend the lead to 43-38.

Clarke converted a three-point play with 8:32 left to provide Iona with a 48-47 lead it never relinquished.

Clarke's two free throws with two minutes left capped a 14-5 run that propelled the Gaels to a 62-52 advantage.

Iona made all 13 of its final attempts at the free throw line.

The Gaels shot 54.5 percent from the field compared to 30.4 percent by Rider.

WCU beat El Cid 78-68 today to improve to 9-13, but 6-5 in the SoCon. Not bad for a team with only 1 senior and he's suspended, and the majority of your freshmen class starting and playing the entire game.

If we can at all play to our potentail and avoid giving games away the last 5 minutes of the game we could string a few victories together here at the end of the season and maybe get into the NIT.

I think it depends on the circumstances. I love Notre Dame football and have since i was a little kid, i was born into it, same with Lehigh football. I've also followed Syracuse hoops religously since i was younger and make atleast one trip up to the Carrier Dome a year to catch a game. I did not go to Temple because of their athletic program, lol. However, i went to quite a few basketball games when i was a student and even a few football games. With that said once i got my vehicle down to Philly i made the 50 minute drive up to Lehigh to watch them instead of going to the Linc and watching my Owls get pummeled. I truly hope Temple can get it's athletic program turned around because i would love nothing more to get excited about Owl sports. Still i'll continue to buy ND, Syracuse and Lehigh sweatshirts and give them my undevided support.

The real test will be this weekend when we play Umass. If we can get past the Minutemen i will officially be excited about our prospects of making some noise in the conference tourney.

Lehigh suffered a bad loss tonight to last place Navy in Bethlehem, 70-65. Lehigh falls to 5-4 in PL play and 10-15 overall, Navy improves to 2-7 in conference and 12-12 overall. I wonder if Billy Taylor is rethinking his move to stay at Lehigh after the success he's had the last few years. Lehigh just can't seem to maintain any level of success in basketball.

1-1 on the brutal back to back with EWU and PSU. Three games ahead in the win column. Guaranteed spot in conference tourney.

[AppGuy04]

ASU beats Wofford 72-52 after trailing at the half 35-32

5 guys in double figures scoring

Now 19-6

[FlyYtown]

YSU is 10-15 on the year... And that is successful for us! This is our best year in about 6 years. We are on track to host a first round Horizon League game!

We are in the Horizon, which #9 Butler is also in. But you have to look at the good: Attendance is up and we have a coach who; if you add up all his wins in D2 and NAIA; is 6th on the all time win list in Division 1 with around 600 wins I believe.

YSU has never been known as a basketball school; but with the success of the football team, since that is when the basketball recruits come and see the campus; their is a good shot at better athletes coming into YTOWN.

BTW: We were 3-1 vs. the MAC this year!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Has anyone noticed the latest hair fad in college basketball? Perhaps it's hit other places too but i keep seeing guys with what looks like crop circles on the side of their heads. I don't know who started it but to me it looks pretty silly.

[roberb7]

Virginia Tech 84, Virginia 57
Hokies back on track after two straight losses. Boston College and UNC now tied for ACC lead.

[FlyYtown]

And a mild upset.
Wright State beats #9 Butler by 12!

Big AEast matchup in Albany today against Vermont. Third home sellout in a row for us. Students waiting on line for hours to get one of the 1000 student tickets saved.

Winner gets the inside track to the regular season championship and home court advantage for the AEast tournament championship.

UA is 18-7 (AE 11-2) and has won its last 8 straight and 11 of last 12 games. Vermont is 18-6 (AE 10-1) winning its last 6 straight and 13 of its last 14. Vermont took the last meeting 75-66 at Vermont. Albany has won 20 of its last 22 home games, only losing at home this year to VCU.

Should be a great atmosphere today.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple's beating A10 leader Umass 44-35 at half. Hopefully we can finally finish what we start in a big game and emerge victorious. This would be a huge win for us and for coach Dunphy.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

It's official, Temple is on a roll. :hurray: :hurray: We took out first place Umass today 98-89 at home to extend out winning streak to 4 games. We jumped out to a 14-4 lead and never looked back. We led by as much as 18 points in the second half and Umass never got closer than the final 9 point margin the rest of the way. We've won the last 4 games by 21, 25, 39, and now 9 points. Our next big test comes next Saturday when we head down to D.C to play George Washington. With the win we now stand at a pedestrian 11-12 overall and 5-5 in the league but we really have played better than our overall record would indicate. Umass falls to 17-7 overall and 7-3 in A10 play.

[EKU05]

The Colonels have now won 5 in a row including our first win AT Murray State since 1992. We also defeated SEMO on the road to improve to 15-9 (10-6 OVC).

I was also pleased to see our RPI move into the top 150 at #148.

Game was in Albany so you can't say it was home cooking. How's Albany's inside game compared to Vermonts? Do the Danes settle for a lot of jump shots and struggle on to get offensive rebounds?

Colgate dropped to 9-15 today (4-6 PL) with a 64-58 home OT loss to PL rival American on ESPN U.

Princeton dropped to 10-10 (1-5 Ivy) last night with a 45-44 home loss to Dartmouth at Jadwin Gym.

Rutgers and Rider doing about as badly, if not worse.

[MoreheadEagle]

Morehead State has taken a dive, losing their last 8 games. Only two of those losses have been by double-digits. We'll rebound tomorrow against Jacksonville State at home.

[roberb7]

Virginia Tech 81, North Carolina 80 OT

How about that?

[EKU05]

EKU won a Princeton offense duel with Samford tonight 46-38 (that score is not a typo) to pull into a four way tie for second place in the OVC. The Colonels have won six in a row.

Sure thats not a football score?

[MoreheadEagle]

Wow. I knew EKU and Samford played low-scoring styles but good night!

[MYTAPPY]

Big game for the 'Neers tonight. Can clinch a first round bye in the SoCon tourney with a win against the Mocs.

Shockers await on Saturday.

[I Bleed Purple]

NO. 1 and no. 2 in the BIG SKY CONFERENCE set to tango tonight.

The Weber State Wildcats are at home set to get revenge on a road loss earlier in conference play against the university of montana. The Wildcats will all but clinch the conference crown with the win tonight.





Note: My lack of capitalization is fun because montana fans don't come into this thread. :D Easier to dump on 'em.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

After 4 straight wins Temple was brought back to earth tonight losing 77-72 to Big 5 rival La Salle. Temple didn't play bad, just La Salle played a little better. Hopefully we can bounce back and not lose some of the momentum we've built the last 2 weeks.

[proasu89]

[Henwatcher]

UD next faces the Gaels of Iona Saturday night in what promises to be a battle for the ages. Iona takes on those Peacocks of St.Peters tonight in a battle for last place in their league. Hope all the fans can handle the excitement these 2 games will bring!!!

EKU defeats Jacksonville State to win their 7th in a row. We are now tied with Tennessee Tech for second in the OVC.

[MYTAPPY]

App clinched North Division title and 2 seed in the tourney after downing UNCG.

Davidson clinches regular season/South Division title and the 1 seed in the SoCon tourney next week after downing Furman.

[DinoDex200]

I just hope we can TCB in Charleston...I really feel like we've had a better season, overall, compared to Davidson...and it would be ashame to be on the outside looking in thanks to our 2 missteps against Elon and Furman.

That said...even if we don't make it...the press we've gotten recently, IMO, could be invaluable going forward in recruiting, and we've all but laced up no worse than a trip to the NIT, which is unprecedented in our school's history.

Except for that trip to the tourney back in 2000.

[Mountaineer]

Except for that trip to the tourney back in 2000.

The 2000 trip to the tourney was great, but not many were expecting anything from the Apps other than a first round exit.

However, this team could actually make some noise. DJ was incredible last night and the rest of the boys looked awesome as well. It's a shame that we could get held out over the Elon and Furman losses (providing we don't win the SoCon tourney). :bawling: :bang:

ASU beats Elon 72-63 for its 24th win - a team record in wins. 15-3 in the SoCon. Socon Tournament starts next week.

I was there. Horrible first half for us, much better 2nd half pulls it out. Elon killed us with outside jumpers

[EKU05]

OVC Tournament Pairings...

No. 1 - Austin Peay vs. No. 8 - Tennessee State, 7:00 p.m. CT
No. 2 - Eastern Kentucky vs. No. 7 - Morehead State, 6:00 p.m. CT (7 p.m. ET)
No. 3 - Tennessee Tech vs. No. 6 - Southeast Missouri, 7:00 p.m. CT
No. 4 - Murray State vs. No. 5 - Samford, 7:30 p.m. CT

I'll admit that I just copied and pasted these from a post on a Murray State board....but here they are.

[MoreheadEagle]

Morehead State at EKU should be a great game. Third time's a charm so I think the Eagles come out on top this time. ;)

[poly51]

3rd place Cal Poly beat second place Cal State Fullerton today in Fullerton. The game was televised on Fox Sports. If Poly wins it's last 2 they will be the 2nd place winner behind Long Beach State.

I'll admit that I just copied and pasted these from a post on a Murray State board....but here they are.

Should be an interesting matchup between Murray State's Billy Kennedy (former Southeastern Louisiana head coach) and Samford's Jimmy Tillette.

I'll take the under in points

We're 16-11 after a :bang: :bang: :bang: loss to Northwestern State tonight. We have McNeese State and Lamar on the road next week before the Southland Conference Tournament starts March 8 in Houston.

[patssle]

Who would you like to face Mr. Lions...SHSU or TAMUC? ;)

[PantherRob82]

UNI did worst than expected, but still a shot at some sort of postseason play. :thumbsup:

[crunifan]

UNI did worst than expected, but still a shot at some sort of postseason play. :thumbsup:

Actually, we were preseason picked 5th in the conference. We finished exactly where we were projected.

Granted, UNI fans had higher expectations. Especially after the great start.

[Peems]

are we going to have a pool on here?
