Your Basketball Season

[Cobblestone]

How many of you had your school's basketball team open the season this week? Any exhibition games out there that you played? Did any of your teams play against any foreign teams?

We opened last night against D-II Stonehill. We won 107-69, not a big deal; we SHOULD be able to defeat a D-II team without any problems. Thankfully we got through it with zero injuries.

Anybody else open up this week?

[Gil Dobie]

First year of Summit League Basketball for NDSU.
Open the Season against Florida Gators 11/9 and Rutgers 11/11.
No Seniors on this years team coming off a 20-8 record.

Beat DII Bemidji St in an exhibition on Halloween 80-56
DII MSU-Moorhead on the Schedule for an exhibition tonight.

[spelunker64]

NDSU should be good again. It's like the Fab5 from the old Michigan days...

[TexasTerror]

SHSU has Dallas Baptist on Nov 10th...

Home slate includes Texas Tech, Cal Irvine, Fresno St and Central Florida. Best home slate the Kats have ever had...

Picked 1st in SLC West...

[89Hen]

xconfusedx I'm not sure Delaware has a basketball team. :( :p

To be fair, our women's program has been pretty good the last couple years. xthumbsupx

[citdog]

it's difficult to convince 6 foot 11 guys to come march for four years.

[andy7171]

Towson opened up against D.II Sheppard College last night. They play nearby rival (about a mile and a half south on Charles Street) Loyola College next Friday. A game Towson SHOULD win, but do not always. In fairness, LC has a nice program in the MAAC.

[brownbear]

Brown opens up on November 9 with games at Eastern Michigan and Michigan. We could probably beat Eastern Michigan as they're about equal with us, but for us to beat Michigan would be a big upset. We beat Providence last year, so maybe we can beat another big conference school.

Didn't North Dakota State beat a highly ranked team at some point last year?

[Gil Dobie]

Didn't North Dakota State beat a highly ranked team at some point last year?

Beat Marquette when they were #8. The year before beat Wisconsin when they were rated pretty high too. Same core of players are Juniors this year.

[HIU 93]

We start with Tulsa on Nov. 11 at the CBE Classic in the Comcast Center at College Park.

I'm looking forward to Nov. 14 when we play you guys at the Pizzitola Center. That's always a great place to watch basketball.

What's sad is that I can say the exact same thing about JMU.

[poly51]

Cal Poly opened with 4 exhibition games in Australia and has an exhibition game tomorrow with Cal State Stanislaus (D-II).

They open their season on the road on November 9th at U Mass, Nov 10th at Northern Iowa and Nov 11th at Northern Illinios.

[Col Hogan]

Cal Poly opened with 4 exhibition games in Australia and has an exhibition game tomorrow with Cal State Stanislaus (D-II).

They open their season on the road on November 9th at U Mass, Nov 10th at Northern Iowa and Nov 11th at Northern Illinios.

Well, you have a good chance of beating us at home...UMass is in a rebuilding year, losing our top starters from last year...

pre-Season 8th in the A-10...I guess there's no place to go up up (I hope)

[813Jag]

Southern's Exhibition is against Tougaloo College tomorrow night. The Jags open the season in Dallas at the SMU Tip off Classic.

[Gil Dobie]

Cal Poly opened with 4 exhibition games in Australia and has an exhibition game tomorrow with Cal State Stanislaus (D-II).

They open their season on the road on November 9th at U Mass, Nov 10th at Northern Iowa and Nov 11th at Northern Illinios.

I see in the paper today, that Tubby Smith has awarded Travis Busch a scholarship at Minnesota. He should get some good playing time with the Gophers this year. Was he just homesick at Poly?

[poly51]

I didn't see him on the roster last year. I have not read anything about it.

[Gil Dobie]

I didn't see him on the roster last year. I have not read anything about it.

This is his second year back in Minnesota. He would have been at Poly 3 years ago.

[UMass922]

Well, you have a good chance of beating us at home...UMass is in a rebuilding year, losing our top starters from last year...

pre-Season 8th in the A-10...I guess there's no place to go up up (I hope)

Eighth isn't so bad . . . considering there's about 90 teams in the A10 now.

[patssle]

here's our basketball spot for the season

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANCAbW915NA

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky played their exhibition game against Campbellsville College and won 94 - 67. They play another exhibition game against Kentucky State on 11/5 and then start the regular season on 11/9 against Kennesaw State.

Statement games this season will be 11/22 vs. Gonzaga (Great Alaskan Shootout), 12/1 at Northern Arizona, 12/5 vs. Nebraska, 12/15 vs. Tennessee, and 12/22 at Southern Illinois.

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky crushes Kennesaw State 96 - 61 unlike Kentucky getting blasted by Gardner-Webb 68 - 84. Both Kennesaw State and Gardner-Webb are in the same conference. Next up Kentucky Wesleyan on 11/13 in Diddle Arena. and then Murray State on 11/17. Onward to Alaska to play Gonzaga on 11/22!

[UNCBears2010]

UNC opened last night with a 104-97 win over VMI at the Air Force Classic. We play Air Force tonight for the tourney title, should be a good game.

[poly51]

Cal Poly opened by losing to U Mass 90-64. Next is Northern Iowa.

[mlbowl]

Montana beat Colorado St. 75 - 39 last night...we play Gonzaga Sunday.

[furpal87]

Furman opened with a 78-75 loss to UNCA, St. Louis and Clemson coming. I think we're picked 7th or 8th in our 6 team division of the SoCon. We lost 6 of our top 7 from last year to graduation and transfer.

[PantherRob82]

UNI beat NIU by 30 last night, and Cal Poly by 10 tonight. Tomorrow night is UMass

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate tipped Monmouth at home in their opener Friday night 63-60

Next game is Tuesday at Canisius

[813Jag]

Southern opened the season with a win last night over SMU, 75-61 overcoming an 18 point deficit, at the Tip-off Classic in Dallas. Today they play Paul Quinn.

[UNHWildCats]

UNH actually hung with Boston College last night, perhaps UNH will finally have a decent BB team.

[I Bleed Purple]

Good start to the year with a win over perennial 20 game winner in Utah State.

Because I'm in a feisty mood, it's amazing how much Montana fans clam up when talking basketball.

[EKU05]

EKU routed D2 West Virginia Wesleyan by 30 something...things got pretty stagnant in the second half after we took a 50-21 lead into the locker room. The most encouraging thing was the loud crowd of 5,700 for the opener.

Also here's an interesting side note...

The game will count as an official game for us, but not for WVW...because D2 teams aren't allowed to play games that count before next week.

[blur2005]

UVA took down Vermont 90-72 to open the season today.

JMU beat Sienna 100-88 on Friday.

[Cobblestone]

We won our opener with a 90-63 win over Florida Atlantic.

xthumbsupx

[crunifan]

UNI is 3-0 with wins over Northern Illinois, Cal Poly, and UMass.

[HIU 93]

We start with Tulsa on Nov. 11 at the CBE Classic in the Comcast Center at College Park.

We beat Tulsa 72-55 last night. We have Maryland tonight.

[brownbear]

Brown went 1-1 over the weekend. Beat Eastern Michigan , but lost to Michigan. We take on Rhode Island on Wednesday back in Providence.

[I Bleed Purple]

Rivals.com has us ranked 125 going into the season and Montana at 108. xmadx xmadx xmadx
Let's not discuss where the rest of the Big Sky ranks. :o :o :o
Colorado State, which Montana beat, is ranked 250 xeyebrowx xeyebrowx xeyebrowx, while Utah State, which Weber State beat, is ranked 78. xnodx xnodx xnodx

I think we know which one is the better win. xpeacex xpeacex xpeacex


(This post brought to you by the little bit of Cap'n that's in all of us, hence the ridiculous use of smilies. :) :) :) )

[ButlerGSU]

GSU is tied with Florida State 32-32 with 5 minutes in the first... this is our first game so hard to tell how we're going to be this year.

[HIU 93]

We beat Tulsa 72-55 last night. We have Maryland tonight.

Tight loss to Maryland 70-66. We are better than I thought.

[Go...gate]

Colgate won over Monmouth; Princeton started the Sydney Johnson era with a close one over Central Connecticut.

[dbackjon]

NAU won opener versus Adams State.

Next up, Arizona

[mvemjsunpx]

Good start to the year with a win over perennial 20 game winner in Utah State.

Because I'm in a feisty mood, it's amazing how much Montana fans clam up when talking basketball.


Why would Montana fans "clam up" when talking basketball?
The Griz have certainly had more success than anyone else other than Weber in the Big Sky.

And then there's the Lady Griz, who have historically dominated the conference in a way even the football team has yet to achieve.

[furpal87]

We got mauled 91-46 by Clemson tonight, hopefully Tuscullum will be a win.

[Seahawks Fan]

We beat Lafayette 74-70 in our opener. We host Manhattan Wednesday night. xthumbsupx

[CatFan22]

Cats lost 76-65 to UNLV Saturday. We were within 5 towards the end but they were just too much. We have Long Beach State tonight, who got owned by BYU a few days ago. They lost 10 players from last year so hopefully we will pull out a win.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate defeats Canisius on the road 61-47

First 2-0 start under head coach Emmett Davis

Next game Friday 11/15 vs. Texas State (at Kennesaw State Tournament with KSU/Jacksonville)

[BDK@YSU]

YSU dropped a tough one to UCLA last night 83-52, but rebounded and beat Weber State 79-76 tonight.

[I Bleed Purple]

We couldn't stop anybody. What 55% from the field?

Way to disappoint...

[dbackjon]

NAU played U of A tough, losing by seven. Typical Pac-10 ref hose job - U of A outshot NAU in free-throws 33-14.

[mrklean]

We are a football school.

GATA

[TheValleyRaider]

I see no reason to let this thread totally die

Colgate defeats Texas State 83-77 at the 100 Club Invitational in Kennesaw, GA

Raiders move to 3-0 on the season

Next game is 11/17, the 100 Club Invitational Championship vs. host Kennesaw State

[ngineer]

Under a new HC, Lehigh has opened fairly well, losing a close 3 point game at Cornell, who some pick to challenge for the Ivy title this year, and a 4 point win over St. Peters at home. Some good young talent. They need one of their 'big men' to elevate their game if they expect to challenge for the PL. Otherwise, they'll be scrambling for a 3-4 seed.

[patssle]

Highlights from our Texas Tech win

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P7O9Lb16KY

[DSUrocks07]

DSU 2-2:

Wins:
Allen 77-44, St. Paul's 70-69 (D-II schools xnonono2x )

Losses:
Columbia 47-41, Wisconsin-Green Bay 70-50

looks like its gonna be a long season...:( :(

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate wins the 100 Club Classic in Kennesaw, GA, beating the hosts Kennesaw State 81-53 in the Championship Game

Colgate is 4-0 for the first time since the 1979-80 season

Next game: vs. Marist on 11/21
This is a return game from last year's BracketBuster

[Umass74]

UMass just smoked Wisconsin-Green Bay 93-78 to go 4-1 on the season.:)

[catbob]

The Cats are only picked to finish 5th in the Sky this year, but many faithful have higher expectations for second year coach Brad Huse. We have some very good young talent to go with a few key seniors. It all depends on how well the youngsters play. Bobby Howard, a true freshman and one of the better basketball prospects to come out of Montana in the last few years, dropped 27 on Boise State Friday night as the Cats improved to 2-1 with wins over BSU (86-83) and Long Beach State (74-56), with our only loss coming to UNLV by 11 on the road.

Fullerton made a mandate this year that teams have to play a certain OOC schedule that ranks in a certain RPI bracket, hoping to improve the seed of the auto-bid team. The Cats have

@ Fresno State
@ UC Santa Barbara
Alcorn State
@ Nevada
@ Wyomming
@ Arizona State
a few home games vs lower tier teams
@ Oregon State

Overall, a pretty tough schedule for a Big Sky squad.

[UNCBears2010]

UNC is now 2-2 with wins over VMI (104-97) and Denver (64-46). Losses are both by a respectable margin to Air Force and Iowa. We look to be pretty good this year.

[Dane96]

Some good young talent. They need one of their 'big men' to elevate their game if they expect to challenge for the PL. Otherwise, they'll be scrambling for a 3-4 seed.

You will know more about your squad after facing Albany in two days! Albany lost a close one to open the season, by 3 to Bucknell (at Bucknell). We had a T to start the game because of a pre-game dunk. This was an even match up.

Albany then beat CCSU on the road...and absolutely throttled the same Columbia team that lost to Ohio State (by 14)...70-38 last night.

Albany boasts a starting line up of:

6'5 220
6'5 215
6'8 230
6'9 240
6'7 245

We go 11 deep, 10 players have scored in a game...and the first subs off the bench go:

6'11 265
6'7 280
6'1 210 (with a 48" vert-- will be starting at some point-- He is the next Jamar Wilson).
6'1 200
5'9 180-- Prolific three-point specialist.

[OB55]

UNC is now 2-2 with wins over VMI (104-97) and Denver (64-46). Losses are both by a respectable margin to Air Force and Iowa. We look to be pretty good this year.

That is pretty awesome. Maybe off to one of the best roundball seasons ever at UNC. I saw DU dumped Wyoming last week by 11, this is very promising. xthumbsupxxthumbsupx

[crunifan]

UNI improves to 4-0 with a road win at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Other wins include, Cal-Poly, Northern Illinois, and UMass.

[Cobblestone]

URI is 5-0. At least we can play basketball.

[slycat]

Colgate wins the 100 Club Classic in Kennesaw, GA, beating the hosts Kennesaw State 81-53 in the Championship Game

Colgate is 4-0 for the first time since the 1979-80 season

Next game: vs. Marist on 11/21
This is a return game from last year's BracketBuster

good job in the classic. i was hoping to beat yall.

texas st is 3-1 so far. not bad seeing we only won 3 games all season 2 years ago.

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky (4 - 0) demolished Murray State 87 - 63. Next up are the Gonzaga Bulldogs in Alaska baaaaaaaaaby!!!!!!!!!

[wkuhillhound]

The Great Alaska Shootout was a great success for Western Kentucky. Western Kentucky lost to Gonzaga by only 3 pts 71 - 74. Next was the host squad the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves was Western Kentucky won that game 71 - 67, then the 4th place game against the Michigan Wolverines. Western scores a HUGE victory over a power conference as they defeated Michigan 73 - 69 to get 4th place in the Great Alaska Shootout now Western Kentucky is (5 - 1) and will travel to Flagstaff to face the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks to make up for Bracket Buster 2006. Give'm hell HILLTOPPERS!!!!!!!!

[brownbear]

Brown is 2-2 with wins over Northwestern and Eastern Michigan, and losses to Rhode Island and Michigan.

This week, we play Wagner and UC-Davis at home.

[TheValleyRaider]

After starting 4-0, Colgate has lost its last 3

61-60 at home to Marist
81-76 at home to Dartmouth
94-63 last night at Notre Dame

Next game is Saturday 12/1, at Cornell (game 2 of a 6 game stretch away from home)

[Seahawks Fan]

Wagner is off to a good start at 3-2. Victories over Lafayette, William & Mary and Bucknell. Losses to MAAC schools Manhattan and St. Peters.

We could make some noise in the NEC this year.

[wkuhillhound]

The Western Kentucky University Lady Toppers team defeated Evansville in the NIT consolation game 75 - 56, then defeated Louisiana Tech for the 3rd straight time 87 - 76 in Diddle Arena, defeated Southern Illinois 88 - 71 in the first game of the George Washington Thanksgiving Classic. Western lost to 15 George Washington in the final game of the classic 63 - 80. The Lady Tops are 4 - 2 on the season and play tonight against Morehead State in Diddle Arena. On Saturday night, they will play at Kentucky.

[furpal87]

We lost 67-58 to Bowling Green tonight at home to fall to 0-5, this year's going to be embarrasing. Thank god for the soccer team plays a 2nd rd NCAA game tomorrow night at Wake Forest.

[JoshUCA]

We are off to a 6-1 start dropping the first game to Kentucky in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic and are currently on a 6 game win streak. We have beaten Alabama A&M, UT-Martin, and Jacksonville State..plus a few other lower division teams. Other teams note remaining in our OOC slate include Idaho, Tulsa, UMKC, and UNC Greensborro.

[crunifan]

UNI is 5-1 after beating instate rival Iowa State on the road.

Next up, home games with Loyola-Chicago and Iowa.

[Purple For Life]

UNI is 5-1 after beating instate rival Iowa State and former UNI coach Greg McDermott on the road.

Next up, home games with Loyola-Chicago and Iowa.

Just thought I'd add that tidbit. He's 0-2 against us since leaving here for Iowa State.

[bodoyle]

Out guys team is struggling, but our lady chants are 6-0 xthumbsupx

[OL FU]

We lost 67-58 to Bowling Green tonight at home to fall to 0-5, this year's going to be embarrasing. Thank god for the soccer team plays a 2nd rd NCAA game tomorrow night at Wake Forest.

At first I was hoping for 10 wins, I have now cut that in half and think it may go lowerxeekx

[appfan2008]

ASU fell to 3-3 on monday night with a close loss to a very good Davidson team... it was the first home game of the year and the squad looked very good... we are very young on the perimeter as we graduated our starting 1, 2, and 3 but our front court is full of 6'8" seniors who are all conference types... should be a fun year... we were picked 2nd in the north division and that seems reseanable...

[Umass74]

FYI, UMass basketball plays Syracuse tonight (Wednesday) at 7:15 pm at the Carrier Dome.

The game is on ESPN Classic (available on Dish Network and Direct TV)

[seantaylor]

My Eagles off to a hot start at 5-1.

[mcveyrl]

Dukes are 3-1 (we lost to VMI!?!?!?) Beat Siena, Mt. St. Mary's, and Dartmouth. At EKU tonight.

The women are 5-0 and beat 15th ranked George Washington 80-55 last night for our 29th straight home win, the nation's longest home winning streak.

Our big test will be when No. 3 Maryland comes to town on the 20th.

how did you all get No. 3 maryland to come to harrisonburg? that must have been tough...

[mcveyrl]

how did you all get No. 3 maryland to come to harrisonburg? that must have been tough...

I have no idea...we did get an at-large bid to the tournament last year, so that probably helped. plus i guess it's a short road trip for them.

[DrG]

UMass beat Syracuse 107-100 at the Dome. Nothing better than beating Big Least teams!!

[mcveyrl]

The JMU men beat EKU in Richmond 82-71...two fan bases that recently turned their attention to basketball...

[CollegeSportsInfo]

UMass beat Syracuse 107-100 at the Dome. Nothing better than beating Big Least teams!! How great was THAT win. To put up 107 pts in the dome was impressive. I haven't known what to expect this season so the cuse game was a big lift.

[crunifan]

Way to go UMass! Keep making our win over you guys look good! ;)

[Cobblestone]

7-1 after beating Northeastern tonight.

[DrG]

Way to go UMass! Keep making our win over you guys look good! ;)
Thanks! Hope we get a chance to turn the tables on you guys in football! ;)

[wkuhillhound]

The Lady Toppers defeated Morehead State 64 - 42. Western Kentucky goes to Rupp Arena and defeated Kentucky 78 - 74 in overtime. Western Kentucky forced overtime with a jumper with 3.1 in regulation. Crystal Kelly had a monster game with 27 pts and 12 rebounds for the victory!!!!!
xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx

Western Kentucky is hoping for the Kentucky sweep when they play Louisville at home on Dec. 16th!!!!!!!!

First, WKU has to get by #18 Vanderbilt in Nashville on Dec. 6th.

Western Kentucky improves to (6 - 2) on the year with losses to Notre Dame and George Washington.

[Cobblestone]

8-1 after beating New Hampshire today. I've gotta say that UNH actually has some good basketball players this season. They appear to have a good coach. I hope they get some post season play.

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

8-1 after beating New Hampshire today. I've gotta say that UNH actually has some good basketball players this season. They appear to have a good coach. I hope they get some post season play.

I think we're moving in the right direction.

Definitely. I think you'll make some noise in the America East. Best wishes.

After beating App State today 85-72, Georgia Southern is now 6-1 having won 6 in a row including 2 in SoCon play...

GO EAGLES!

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate goes to 5-3 after topping Ivy favorite Cornell 76-73 in Ithaca xhurrayx

Next game: 12/5 at Binghamton

[mountaineertider]

After watching three games (2 in person, 1 on TV), I would have to say App is very weak on the hardwood.

I think it starts at coaching since they can't sustain a run or stop one. But of course, Houston would blame it on the students since they didn't go down to Statesboro.

[Ivytalk]

Harvard beat Michigan at Harvard last night in front of a rare sellout crowd!xthumbsupx

"Tommy Amaker's Revenge!" :)

But we got blown out by Stanford and are still only 4-4...xcoffeex

How did you get Michigan to come play at Harvard? Good job on taking down Michigan. Brown played them earlier this year and lost by about 20 points.

However, Brown did beat UC-Davis last night 73-57 to get to 3-3 on the season.

[Seahawks Fan]

Wagner is at 5-2 after beating Yale yesterday. Season looks promising. xthumbsupx

[UNCBears2010]

UNC is 4-2 after a 72-59 win over Colorado State last night.xthumbsupx

[crunifan]

UNI improves to 6-1 with a win over Loyola Chicago.

The Iowa Hawkeyes visit Cedar Falls Wednesday, UNI looks to make it 3 in a row over Iowa.

[dbackjon]

NAU takes down WKU!!

[Lionsrking]

We got hosed last night at the U of Alabama, losing in OT, 63-61. We had a 6-pt lead with around 20 seconds to go in regulation, and Bama gets two three-pointers in a span of seven seconds. On the first one, they call us for a foul away from the ball, and not only did the shot count, they got the ball out of bounds. Of course they drain another three to tie it with about 10 seconds left. We miss at the buzzer and eventually lost by two in OT. The foul was questionable in the first place and the contact happened before the shot. Tough to lose a game like that when we outplayed them and led most of the way.

We're 5-2 overall, with both losses coming to SEC opponents. LSU by 10 on the road (closer than score) and of course Bama by two, also on the road. We have another SEC opponent coming up on Saturday when we take on Mississippi State. We beat them at their place two years ago, and hopefully we can make another run at them. Will play at UTEP and Iowa later in the year before starting Southland Conference play.

[th0m]

Both JMU's bball teams are having a great start.

The men's team is 5-1 after having had numerous horrible seasons. Among the wins are EKU, Northeastern and Siena.

The women's team, having been more used to success, is 6-0 with wins vs. Wake Forest and a distructing 80-55 win over #14 George Washington.

[Ivytalk]

How did you get Michigan to come play at Harvard? Good job on taking down Michigan. Brown played them earlier this year and lost by about 20 points.

Amaker coached there last year. I'll bet that had something to do with it.xnodx

[Eaglesrus]

David Robinson xthumbsupx did it.

I just scanned this whole thread pretty quickly and may have missed someone else saying this; if so I apologize for repeating, but if my memory serves me correctly the Admiral grew like five inches after he entered the Academy.

[Eaglesrus]

We are a football school.

GATA

True, but our BB Eagles should win their game against Fort Valley State tonight and go into Saturday's game with Florida at 7 - 1. Our only loss is to Florida State, and while we may not have played the toughest competition so far, we have beaten UAB, Cleveland State (who has had a couple of pretty good seasons) and Mercer (who beat Southern Cal earlier this year). Also, starting 2 - 0 in the conference is a real good thing.

[Purple Pride]

UCA is 7-1. The only loss was the 1st game to the Kentucky Wildcats.xthumbsupx

[Gil Dobie]

NDSU is 4-3, heading into Williams Arena to play Tubby Smith's Minnesota Gophers (4-1). Ben Woodside is averaging 26+ ppg, Brett Winkelman is averaging 20+. Game is on the Big Ten Network tonight.

[Cobblestone]

9-1 after beating our intrastate rival Providence College by the score of 77-60. xthumbsupx

We've got a tough one this Saturday (12/8) vs. Syracuse.

Harvard rode the momentum from its win over Michigan into ... a 7-point loss at BU.xcoffeex

BEARS MAKING WAVES WITH 7-1 START
MEN'S BASKETBALL • Dec 4, 2007


CONWAY, Ark _ The University of Central Arkansas Bears are making waves nationally with their 7-1 start.

The Bears are one of only 23 teams in the country with at least seven victories in the first month of the season. They received 21 votes in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major poll this week.

And finally, if UCA was not considered a transitional team by the NCAA, the Bears would be ranked in the top 50 in Division I in several categories, including 20th in rebound margin, 29th in blocked shots and 38th in field goal defense.

"I think it's another sign that we're off to a really good start and that the guys are playing well,' UCA head coach Rand Chappell said. "Most of the statistical rankings are on the defensive and rebounding side of things, and I think good play and our consistency in those areas is what has allowed us to get to 7-1.'

But Chappell was also impressed with his offense in the Bears' last outing, a solid 82-68 road victory over Jacksonville State that completed a sweep of the Ohio Valley Conference team.

"The offensive is definitely starting to show signs,' he said on the eve of the Bears' home game with the University of Idaho on Wednesday night at the Farris Center. "I thought in last Saturday's game we came the closest we have to putting together a total game, offensively and defensively, that we have all season. We didn't get all 40 minutes but we got 30-plus at least.'

The Bears placed all five players in double figures, led by guards Nate Bowie and Marcus Pillow with 18 points each. Center Brian Marks and forward Durrell Nevels pulled down 17 and 11 rebounds, respectively.

"That's something that has our team feeling good about themselves,' Chappell said. "Everyone has pretty good confidence across the entire lineup right now. I think it also shows the team is sharing the ball well with each other and that there is good chemistry.'

The Bears will take on a team of a different kind in Idaho, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, a squad UCA will face again on Dec. 18 in Moscow, Idaho.

9-1 after beating our intrastate rival Providence College by the score of 77-60. xthumbsupx

We've got a tough one this Saturday (12/8) vs. Syracuse.

Good, you all beat Providence by a bigger margin than you beat us. Makes me feel confident for our game against Providence on Sunday.

Hopefully it won't be like the Brown-PC hockey game last night. Providence won 8-0.

Colgate tops instate opponent Binghamton on the road 73-55

Raiders move to 6-3 on the season xhurrayx

Next game: the annual Sisyphian trip to the Carrier Dome to battle old rival Syracuse on 12/18

[SuperJon]

We're 5-4 right now. We've won 5 of our last 6 with our only loss in that streak to Kentucky. We're starting to really develop as a team. We've got a legit shot to go into the spring semester with a winning record for the first time since 2001.

Thank God we changed coaches.

[ngineer]

Lehigh improved to 4-5 tonight with a nice win over Stony Brook, 76-61. A very balanced attack for once with many players contributing rather than looking for Hall to do it all. Harvard on the horizon--Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at Stabler Arena.

[furpal87]

xbawlingx Meanwhile a 16-pt loss to Mercer puts us at 0-7 with 10 days off before the next game.

The question is will we win a game this year??xconfusedx

[pantheralum16]

Considering UNI lost to Iowa last night, I will point out another "FCS" team. Most of you probably did not but did you see Drake last night? I know it was against a struggling Iowa State team but they looked good! NCAA's anyone??

[Purple Pride]

UCA is 7-1. The only loss was the 1st game to the Kentucky Wildcats.xthumbsupxMake that 8 - 1.

UCA won its eighth-straight victory, a 65-49 win over the University of Idaho.xhurrayx

[brownbear]

Brown moves to 5-3 with a 68-52 win over New Hampshire tonight in Providence. We actually were winning 20-2 at the start of the game!

Next up, Providence College at the Dunkin' Donuts Center!!

[Fresno St. Alum]

Fresno St. sucks like we did in the mid 80's we're 5-3 but we lost to D-I newbie CS-Bakersfield and won in OT last night vs D-II CS Monterey Bay. They suck in D-II even

[siuham]

SIU has started out cold this year. :(

3-2. Started 3-0, then completely forgot how to shoot against USC in Anaheim and Indiana at home for two big losses. Hoping to turn it around against Charlotte Saturday night.

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky lost to Northern Arizona on a last second 3-pt shot to give the Lumberjacks 64 - 61 victory. Nebraska gave WKU all it wanted in Diddle Arena as the Hilltoppers defeated the Cornhuskers in overtime 69 - 62. Now Western Kentucky is (6 - 2) on the season and plays Eastern Kentucky today in Richmond.

[ngineer]

Lehigh stormed back from an 11 point deficit to defeat the Crimson of Harvard this afternoon at Stabler Arena, 70-61. Mountain Hawks were an icy 28% the first half and a torid 52% second half. Now 5-5 on the season and a winning 'streak' of two games now..xnodx

I just decided today to head down to the Fresno-Stanford game after Christmas - I assumed Fresno could make it a good game but if they struggle with the Sea Otters, they don't stand a chance at Maples

[TexasTerror]

SHSU moves to 8-0 with a win over Saint Louis...

Kats have wins over other Div I teams in Texas Tech, Wisc-Milwaukee and Fresno State...

A great year to be a Bearkat as it relates to basketball -- fun time being had on KatFans.com! :)

Thanks for beating Syracuse, I just plain hate their coach...

SIU lost..again tonight, on the road. I think the final tally was 32% FG shooting for the night.

It'll be a long year if we can't get more than one player to step up in a game.

Interesting stat: SIU had no FT attempts in the first half. Charlotte had 14.

[brownbear]

Well, Brown couldn't win it against Providence. They were bigger and faster than us, and we were cold shooting most of the night. It was a six-point game with about 15 minutes left, but PC went on a run and beat us 70-51. Moves us overall to 4-4, and now Brown takes a two week break for finals before they play their holiday schedule, which includes three road games in a row at Hartford, Notre Dame, and Army. I'd like to see us beat Hartford and Army, and maybe we could give Notre Dame a good game, but at this point, all I think that matters is the Ivy season, which begins January 19.

[dbackjon]

NAU destroyed Cal-Poly, 85-51.

[Seawolf97]

We are a disaster at 1-7. Hopefully we can beat New Jersey Tech tomorrow nightxnonono2x

[FargoBison]

NDSU won a thriller last night against Centenary, 102-99. The Bison are 5-5 and have former NDSU coach Tim Miles and his Colorado State Rams coming to Fargo on Saturday.

[The Sheriff]

Wait just a darn minute here... we have a basketball team??

Furman is sad to announce that we have cancelled basketball for the 2007-2008 season. Season Ticket prices will be refunded. See you next yearxbawlingx

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

8-1 after beating New Hampshire today. I've gotta say that UNH actually has some good basketball players this season. They appear to have a good coach. I hope they get some post season play.

Cobble, are you trying to give me a heart attack before Newick's does? :p xlolx xlolx xlolx

For those of you in other parts of the country:

Newick's = Fried Seafood, cream based chowders/stews, steamed lobster and clams to be dipped into melted butter.

Wildcat Basketball = No NCAA/NIT bids, no conference championship game appearances or regular season championships (tied once with an unbalanced schedule :p ), last winning season was 1994-5, only seven winning seasons in the last 50+ seasons, etc.

Hopefully you can enjoy both this season if you can get up to Durham. Newick's has always been good and always will be. As for your basketball program, I really do think you guys might get some post season play. Now relax, it might not be this year but you guys appear to have some talent this season. Alvin Abreu in particular is a good player and the two players from Cameroon look pretty good. I'm not saying you guys will set the America East on fire but I think you're finally headed in the proper direction. An NIT appearance might be in the cards for next season though.

Here's to your health. xbeerchugx

You do understand you're talking to someone who has been following UNH Hoop since 1968, someone who is a season ticket holder in Durham, someone who has been to every AE venue in the past couple of years, someone who has been to every game of the AE EOY Tournament for six years in a row, someone who just might have seen UNH Hoop play at more venues than anyone not officially associated with the program or with the press, etc.

My heart has withstood four very painful playoff losses in football, two Frozen Four final game losses and a lifetime of being a Sox fan. And now you're putting wild ideas in my head about UNH Hoop actually going to a postseason tournament!

Speaking of stinking, we fell to 0-8 tonight. I just want us to win a freakin' game!!!! Nice win for Mont State tonight over Wyoming.

NDSU took down former coach Tim Miles and his Colorado State Rams yesterday afternoon 83-69. Next up for NDSU is Bucknell, I bet the Bison win that one. xrotatehx xrotatehx xrotatehx xrotatehx

GSU got jobbed by the SEC refs against Florida. We were up 9 at half, and in the second half Florida went to the line 20 more times than us. Lost on a ticky tack call.

[Col Hogan]

UMass is moving up...8 - 2, with wins over Syracuse and Boston College, and today we made the "Others Receiving Votes" in the AP Poll. Granted, only six votes...one for # 23 and 4 for #25...but we are headed in the right direction...

[siuham]

41 points tonight against Western Michigan...

Good..Lord. We're losing by double digits to not good teams. Conference play is going to rip us apart playing like that.

WKU, please don't beat us at home Saturday. It'll kill me.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate comes off of Finals Week to get our usual butt-kicking in the Carrier Dome. Syracuse wins 87-59, their 42nd straight win over Colgate

Raiders fall to 6-4

And it just gets better, game 5 of the 6 game road stand is 12/23 at Penn State

[HIU 93]

We have UVa tonight.

[furpal87]

None of you can complain!! After a loss to something called Utah Valley State tonight we're 0-10, and it's not getting any better.

[katstrapper]

Kats are 10-0 after a win over Univ. California-Irvine on Thursday night. They head on the road for their next two (San Diego St & Loyola-Marymount)

[brownbear]

Brown is 6-4 after a 79-61 win over Hartford today, their first game back after finals. This week, Joe Lunardi has Brown as the Ivy representative in March Madness. He has us as a 15 seed!!!

UMass is now 9 - 2, defeating CCSU yesterday...

First half was rough, but the experience of the Minutemen took hold in the second half and they pulled away...taking a one point half time lead to a 79 - 55 final score...

Next up is Boston University on the 29th at the Mullins Center in Amherst...

[Seawolf97]

We are 3-8. Our next game is the 29th home against Cornell then into America East Conference play . We open at home against UMBC.

I'll take it. Colgate has played a comparatively difficult schedule.

OTOH, Princeton is at 2-9 and probably looking at 2-12 (they have D-II Dominican at home in January, which they should win).

Damn, Joe Scott really wrecked a proud program - the cupboard is truly bare. It may take many years for Princeton to return to success.

[TheValleyRaider]

I'll take it. Colgate has played a comparatively difficult schedule.

Their schedule is definately tougher than in years past, and they've actually won most of the games. No D-III Juniata or Hamilton on there, which is nice to see.

The wins over Monmouth, Texas State and especially at Cornell were nice. Of the losses, it would have been nicer to beat Dartmouth and/or Marist. Combined margin of defeat was 6 points, only 1 to Marist. Otherwise, we're winning the games we should be and have taken it on the chin against the big boys (Notre Dame, Syracuse, Penn State). Would have liked to have been more competitive in maybe one of those, but if that's the worst that happens this season, I can be content with that

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky is now 8 - 4 on the season with losses to # 11Tennessee 82 - 88 on 12/15 and Southern Illinois 78 - 88 on 12/22, then wins over North Carolina Central 84 - 53 on 12/18 and the Nebraska Cornhuskers 69 - 62 on 12/5. Next for the Hilltoppers will be the start of the Sun Belt Conference schedule as they travel to Troy, AL to face the Trojans.

[siuham]

Lee is scary. :(

[wkuhillhound]

Yes he is.

Wished that we would have won the game. I don't want to go hang on to Nebraska as our best non-conference win. Michigan is not doing so well right now. It doesn't look good for Western Kentucky's at-large chances at this point.

[siuham]

WKU might be our best Non-con win, depending on the Butler game Friday, and depending on how St. Mary's fairs for the rest of the season.

[WrenFGun]

Goodness, another year of UNH Basketball! YAY!

In all seriousness, this is the best team UNH has had in awhile. If Mike Christensen didn't turn the ball over 4000 times a game, UNH might have a few more wins. They ALMOST beat BC, URI, Iona, Long Island and Northeastern, but that really doesn't count. UNH needs to get off the schneid and grab one against Colgate to move to 4-7. The goal, as far as I'm concerned, is .500 in conference. If we can do that, I'll be pleased with this season.

[siuham]

Once again, SIU finds a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Up by 1 with 20 seconds left, go to the line for a 1 and 1, brick the first one, watch Butler go down, take their time-out, draw up their play, only to have their main guy travel and give us the ball back with 6 seconds. Joy! Happy day! A win! Inbound, get fouled, go to the line for 1 and 1...LANE VIOLATION.

Graves goes down the court, 3 seconds off the clock, last second three from NBA range...straight in..

*sigh*

Conference play starts Sunday..please..something good happen.

[furpal87]

Ugh...yeah...Came home from the game, pretty down about it..

Turn on ESPN2, they're showing their Top 10 plays, I was hoping maybe to see the no-look behind the back pass from Mullins to Bone for a nice lay-up between two defenders...nope, #1 was Graves' shot...

Then the Sports Center that came on after the Oregon State game opened with it. Ugh.

If you guys played us (Southern) it may end up as the only tie in Basketball history. A sample of our scores: 95-50, 88-45, 73-49, 79-58. Oh well at least we should win our last non-conference game.

[catamount man]

WCU kicked their leading scorer off the team due to some discipline reasons and the younger guys are doing their best without him. We are 4-7, 0-2 in SoCon play.

Both teams play NC State in Raleigh this weekend.

Its more like they escaped with a win. GSU led the entire game until the end. We had a chance to pretty much ice the game with 30 seconds left up by 2 shooting two from the line. We clanked both, and the rest is history. xbawlingx

Last night GSU shot 18-20 from the line until the end of the game, we missed our last 7 free throws and let A&M CC make the game look respectable.

Unless we hit our foul shots today, we don't have a chance. xconfusedx

[Cobblestone]

13-1 with an 85-80 win over Georgia Southern. Damn Baldy, you guys were tough. In the first half it looked like we'd blow you out but you guys wouldn't go away. Nice game.

Lost to Drake tonight for the first time since 1999. Our two seniors had 1 point combined in the first half. Shaw with 3 fouls early in the first half. Fouls were just dumb tonight.

JMU moves to 9-3 (and 2-0 in CAA play) with a buzzer beater last night against Virginia Commonwealth at home in the Convo. Looks like the St. Joseph's transfer, Abdulai Jalloh, is paying dividends for Keener.

I'm actually considering coming up for the BracketBusters game in February...

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky (10 - 4) (2 - 0) gets their 10th win of the season as they defeated Middle Tennessee State 62 - 51. The defense has been much improved over the past couple of years. In the 1st half WKU allowed MTSU only 5 / 22 from the field in the 1st half. The Blue Raiders shot only 32.1% for the game. Next for the Hilltoppers will be against South Alabama in Mobile.

It isn't very often that I get to make a positive post on this thread, but tonight I can. UNH beats Albany in Durham 75-66. This is the first conference opener that UNH has won since 1997. xeekx xnodx xhurrayx xhurrayx

I sure didn't see this one coming with UNH starting 3-8, Albany being the defending league champion and UNH only dressing seven guys (injuries, illness and academics). On the national scene, this doesn't mean anything, but we few UNH Hoop fans are:

Wagner is 9-4 (2-0 NEC) after last night's win over Central Conn. We travel to Sacred Heart on Saturday. xthumbsupx

[danefan]

We stink right now. Nothing else to say here......xsmhx xnonono2x

[Eaglesrus]

Looks like our season is turning around rapidly, and unfortunately for us that's not a good thing.

[mountaineertider]

Well App actually won, and I think for one of the first times all season beat the team in scoring both halves of the game. Minter finally got a double-double. It's about time.

Somehow, I think you'll be more than in the middle of things come conference tournament time!! xnodx xnodx For some reason UNH plays Albany much better/tougher than we usually do Binghamton or Boston U. I can't wait for another visit to my personal chamber of horrors, BU, next week!! xrolleyesx xlolx

Congrats on the wins!! That helps our RPI!! :D

[dbackjon]

NAU went to 2-0 in the Big Sky with a 79-76 win at EWU

[furpal87]

Maybe it just took one win to get them going!! Go for 3 straight against the Mocs Saturday.

[mvemjsunpx]

I didn't see anyone specifying this had to be men's basketball, so here's a women's basketball update:

Montana beats Montana State in Missoula, 78-65. Sonya Rogers scores a career-high 32 points & the Lady Griz hold MSU to just 6 assists. Montana is now 11-3 on the season and has won 8 straight.

If the Lady Griz run the table in the Big Sky & win the conference tournament, head coach Robin Selvig will reach 700 career wins.


Men's Cat/Griz is tomorrow. I believe it's on ESPN FullCourt, though I'm not sure. It's also on local CBS stations in Montana.

[brownbear]

Brown beat American 68-55 to move to 8-5. Brown plays at Baylor on Tuesday in its final non-conference game, and then on January 19, Ivy play begins against Yale.

[813Jag]

Southern finally begins a SWAC play tonight at Prairie View. Hopefully they can put that horrible nonconference play behind them.

[wkuhillhound]

NAU went to 2-0 in the Big Sky with a 79-76 win at EWU

Just keep on winning and we will do the same OK. xthumbsupx
Maybe Northern Arizona is not so terrible in the Big Sky after all. xpeacex

MSU will tear them up, no worries. :D

[poly51]

Went to the Cal Poly-Cal State Northridge game Thursday night. Cal Poly looked terrible in losing to Northridge 80-59. Then tonight Northridge beat Big West favorite UC Santa Barbara 88-84.

Went tonight to Cal Poly-Long Beach State game. Cal Poly 64-52.

[Col Hogan]

UMass fell to 11-3 last night, losing to #15 Vanderbilt in Nashville 97 - 88...

Next game is Wednesday at home as A-10 Conference play starts...St. Joe comes to town to play in the Mullins Center...

[Ivytalk]

Harvard beat Dartmouth handily yesterday to snap a several-game losing streak and to open Ivy play. The Crimson go to Hanover next weekend, then it's exam time. I'm still not optimistic: I think we'll finish 5th or 6th in the Ivies this year.xsmhx

[CopperCat]

MSU will tear them up, no worries. :D

That statement may actually have a fair amount of truth in it this year.

Wins against Wyoming, Boise State, Long Beach State, Oregon State, and winning conference opener against the Griz, things are looking up for MSU basketball again. With the win last night, the Cats move to 9-5.

Congrats on the win. You guys completely outplayed us in the second half. xbowx

[Seahawks Fan]

Wagner improved to 10-4 (3-0 NEC) with a win on Saturday at Sacred Heart. We travel to Monmouth on Thursday. xthumbsupx

[mcveyrl]

You Delaware fans should perk up! The Hens are the only undefeated team in the conference at 3-0. They also appear in this week's "Bracketology" on ESPN.com.

[zymergy]

Trust me we are quite happy with how things are going this year. After the last few years, specially last year, any progress is nice, but to have the team playing this well with so many new faces is special. the fact that we are only losing two next year and with Carter coming after setting out this year and Pegg I firmly believe we are on the path to better days.

xthumbsupx

[brownbear]

Brown finished its non-conference schedule with a 72-62 loss at Baylor last night. The loss moved our record to 8-6, and we play Yale in our first conference game on January 19. Considering 4 of our 6 losses were to BCS conference schools, I think we did pretty well in our non-conference games. If our success carries over to the Ivy games, we may be in March Madness for the first time since 1986.

you didn't go did you?xbawlingx xbawlingx

[Cobblestone]

92-83 loss to Dayton tonight for URI. We are now 14-2.

I can't complain about tonight. We played well on the road against a tough team with some BIG dudes. We didn't embarrass ourselves at all. A-10 basketball is going to be very good this season.

[Seawolf97]

Another dismal night. We got pounded by Albany 80-64 dropping us to 4-11 on the season and 1-2 in America East play.xbawlingx

Yes I did! Another frigging chapter of Groundhog's Dog at BU. xmadx xmadx

[GeauxLions94]

Finished non-conference with 8-5 record (losses to LSU, Alabama (should have won), Mississippi State, UTEP and Iowa (held them without a point for 13 minutes ... SHOULD HAVE WON).

Started Southland Conference play last night (Jan. 9) with 61-58 win at Sam Houston State!

[JoshUCA]

Finished non-conference with a 10-4 record (we have already tied our win total from last season). Losses to Tulsa, Kentucky, Idaho, and UNC-Greensboro. We open up SLC play tonight at home against a good UT-Arlington team.

Cobble, you were correct about the A-10 season...

UMass lost it's conference opener...AT HOME...to St. Joe...

First conference loss at the Mullins Center since the 05-06 season...xnonono2x

[TheValleyRaider]

On Tuesday, Colgate spit the bit in a winnable non-conference game, getting blown out at Harvard, 77-57.

Colgate falls to 8-6 on the season as they begin Patriot League play. They have one final OOC game in February, against NC Central

Raiders open League play at home against Army on Saturday 1/12
