FCS College Hoops

[bodoyle]

Just thought I would start a thread for people to update us on their hoops season. I didn't see one started. If it is, please delete mods.

[bodoyle]

CCU just beat College of Charleston 70-59. It was our first win over them in 16 years. The team looked 1000% better than they did last year.

We were lead by Joseph Harris who had 21 points and 17 boards, and Chad ray who had 17 points and 8 boards.

[T-Dog]

Dang. CofC is the heavy favorite in the SoCon this year.

App St beat UNCW 79-68 in Buzz Peterson's homecoming.

Wofford up at Pitt 56-53 with four minutes left.

[PhoenixMan]

Elon will likely struggle this year. New coach, but the guy is a long time Davidson assistant, so he knows what winning is about. We'll see how it pans out.

[ngineer]

Lehigh lost to Richmond tonight at Richmond in the openers for both schools, 65-53. Mountain Hawks committed 26 turnovers, which resulted in a ton of points. Not sure how good Richmond is supposed to be this year, so no idea what this all means as a season opener.

[tribe_pride]

W&M got beaten by UConn by 9. We had it down to 5 or 6 with about 8 to go then UConn went on a run to about an 11 or 12 point lead.

Not bad for a team that went 9-20 last year and was picked to be 10th of 12 teams in the CAA this year.

[MSUDuo]

Missouri State opens their season when Auburn comes to town on Monday night. Missouri State beat Arkansas last year for the home opener, and to open up the new JQH Arena, and will look to take down another SEC team this year.

[UNCBears2010]

UNC blew out McNeese State tonight at the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii, 101-73. Five Bears were in doble figures scoring.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple opens their season against Delaware tomorrow. We have a big one against #21 Georgetown on Tuesday. That game will be on ESPN at 4. I think we have good chance against the Hoyas. We lost Christmas but return a lot of talent and Dunph is a great coach.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lehigh lost to Richmond tonight at Richmond in the openers for both schools, 65-53. Mountain Hawks committed 26 turnovers, which resulted in a ton of points. Not sure how good Richmond is supposed to be this year, so no idea what this all means as a season opener.

Richmond was picked for 3rd in the A10 this year so i'd say Lehigh's play tonight is promising. I really had no idea they were suppose to be this good until i looked at the preseason poll. This is the highest predicted finish since the Spiders joined the A10.

A10 preseason poll
1. Dayton
2. Xavier
3. Richmond
4. La Salle
5. Temple (tie) we'll be fine xpeacex
Duquesne
7. Charlotte
8. Rhode Island
9. Umass
10. St. Joe's- surprised
11. Saint Bonaventure
12. St. Louis
13. George Washington
14. Fordham- they need to join the NEC!!

[onbison09]

Bison lose to Utah Valley last night. Never did win there even with the studs. Likely to be somewhere between a rebuilding and regrouping year. Tough to lose 4 starters. South Dakota State beat Wyoming though. Good win for them.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple opens the season with a 76-56 win over Delaware. Next up, the Hoyas.

[gbhmt]

Does it have to be an FCS school? xcoolx

[darell1976]

UND got thumped by Montana 61-37 last night. UND plays Loyola Marymount tonight in the Montana Tournament.

[Sturgisjeff]

South Dakota State thumped the Wyo Cowboys big time up 28 points at one time in the second half.

[I Bleed Purple]

Weber loses against hated Utah State last night, 66-60. Shot 2-20 from three.

[Seawolf97]

StonyBrook opened last night on the road at Maryland-Eastern Shore.

Final SBU 75 UMES 57- Home opener is Monday against Mt. St. Mary College.
Hoping for our first 20 win season this year.

[Reign of Terrier]

Wofford lost yesterday to Pitt 63-60

[Big Dawg]

The FAMU Womens Basketball team defeated the USF Bulls 73-68 last night.

[bodoyle]

Weber loses against hated Utah State last night, 66-60. Shot 2-20 from three.

I love Utah State and Stu Morrill!

[darell1976]

Sioux lost to Loyola Marymount 83-60. 0-2 start for UND.

[HoyaMetanoia]

Temple opens their season against Delaware tomorrow. We have a big one against #21 Georgetown on Tuesday. That game will be on ESPN at 4. I think we have good chance against the Hoyas. We lost Christmas but return a lot of talent and Dunph is a great coach.

Um...no chance. Sorry.

[UNCBears2010]

UNC takes another win, this time against Southern Utah, 73-51. We play Hawaii on Tuesday morning at 2 am Mountain time on ESPN.

[Coyote Fan]

South Dakota played three straight games in the Texas Tech tourney this weekend. They lost by about 40 the first night to TT, lost to Oregon State by 17 but beat Texas A&M Corpus Christie by 3 today. CC beat Oregon State by 20 and barely lost to TT by less than 10. The Coyotes have alot of new comers this year but also return some good players as well. They are in the make shift Great West Conference for basketball and are favored along with Utah Valley State to win the conference. The Coyotes are going to the Summit League in a couple of years.

[Coyote Fan]

UNC takes another win, this time against Southern Utah, 73-51. We play Hawaii on Tuesday morning at 2 am Mountain time on ESPN.

What is going on in Bear land. For years UNC was nothing more than an afterthought in the NCC but must have really caught a wave this year (or maybe a new coach) to be winning these kinds of games.

[appmaj]

App Lost @ ETSU 58-62

[siuham]

SIU opened their regular season with UT-Martin at home Saturday, won 91-63.

[andy7171]

Towson beat Miami(OH) 82-71

Our team is looking pretty good this year from all I have read.

[UNCBears2010]

Tad Boyle has been a godsend to the basketball program. He is bringing in quality recruits, coaching them well and building a program that will be a force to be reckoned with in the Big Sky for years to come.

[Seawolf97]

Stony Brook won easily over D-3 Mt Saint Marys 87-53. The whole bench got to get some
playing time. Next game Saturday night at Wagner.

[EKU05]

EKU 102-71 over D2 West Virginia Wesleyan. The Colonels take on Pitt this week.

[MSUDuo]

Missouri State starts their season with a very nice win over Auburn.

Anyone staying up 24 hours straight for this marathon on ESPN? I'm leaving my TV on all night day so that I can tune in when I can :D

[lionsrking2]

The Southeastern Louisiana Lions defeated Sun Belt, Florida Atlantic, 90-77...led 51-27 at the break but got a little sloppy in the second half...FAU got hot from three late to close the gap...FAU is picked near the bottom of the Sun Belt, but they have some quality young talent under Mike Jarvis.

We're extremely athletic and can shoot the rock...definitely our best team since winning the SLC and going to the NCAA tournament in '04-05...we should be in the hunt again.

[andy7171]

Towson beat Miami(OH) 82-71

Our team is looking pretty good this year from all I have read.

Miami(OH) took Kentucky to the buzzer, 72-70. Bring on UK!!

[813Jag]

Southern started the season the same way they did last year with a road loss. This time to Baylor 61-45.

[wkuhillhound]

FBS Mid-Major vs. FBS BCS tonight

Western Kentucky (1 - 0) vs. LSU (2 - 0) in the Preseason NIT after beating Wisconsin-Milwaukee last night. xthumbsupx

The winner of this game goes to MSG to play the Connecticut/Hofstra winner.

[UNCBears2010]

From the "While You Were Sleeping" Department:

UNC takes down host Hawai'i, 81-75, to win the Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic. The game was part of ESPN's College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon and was played at 4 a.m. Eastern time. The Bears are now 3-0.

[Go...gate]

Saint Peter's over Monmouth (6am start) and Clemson over Liberty (10am start) in subsequent Marathon games. Liberty gave excused absences from class if you went to the game - not bad.

Congrats on winning the tournament! Is there gonna be a new sheriff in Big Sky Country?

[NHwildEcat]

UNH plays @ Maryland on Friday Night @ 8 PM...that one should be decided fairly early :(....at least we beat Suffolk last weekend 91-45!!!

[onbison09]

FBS Mid-Major vs. FBS BCS tonight

Western Kentucky (1 - 0) vs. LSU (2 - 0) in the Preseason NIT after beating Wisconsin-Milwaukee last night. xthumbsupx

How good are you guys this year? I want to see my Mean Green dance but I don't know if we can beat you guys.

[ncbears]

No.Co just won the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii. They beat Hawaii this morning and the game was on ESPN.

[bodoyle]

We lost 73-48 to Duke last night at Cameron

We were up 6-0 though xnodx

We played well. Hung with them on the boards (34 v 40) and defensively, just couldn't hit a shot to save our lives.

We play Elon tonight at 7:30 cst

[PhoenixPhan06]

Goin to the Elon vs Coastal game tonight. I just hope we have a good showing and keep it close

[Shellin]

Temple opens their season against Delaware tomorrow. We have a big one against #21 Georgetown on Tuesday. That game will be on ESPN at 4. I think we have good chance against the Hoyas. We lost Christmas but return a lot of talent and Dunph is a great coach.

I go to school at Washington State and witnessed the Dick and Tony Bennett era of "grind it out" defensive minded basketball where we won games 48-47, 51-45, etc...but this Georgetown/Temple game is by far the ugliest game of basketball I've seen in a long time (although I didn't watch Penn State vs Illinois last year).

[UNCBears2010]

Congrats on winning the tournament! Is there gonna be a new sheriff in Big Sky Country?

Thanks, it's our first tourney win of any kind since the move to Division I. I'm hoping we can make some serious noise in the Big Sky this year and can say with some confidence that we're the best college hoops team in the state of Colorado.

[gbhmt]

I know this ain't FCS, but I'll be at the Gonzaga @ #2 Michigan State game in a few minutes here. Boy these Spartans are fun to watch.

[Reign of Terrier]

Wofford beat Georgia 60-57 just moments ago

[Seawolf97]

Nice wins for Northern Co. and Wofford. Imagine if we could get wins like that in football !

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple lost a heart breaker to Georgetown 46-45. We had our chances to win at the end but couldn't finish the deal. This would have been a big win for us and the A10. Even so i like what i saw despite the ugliness.

[furpal87]

Furman is 2-0 with win over Less-Mcrae (D-2) big and tonight beat PC 64-60. Not sure if that bodes well or not, Dartmouth next. Congrats to Wofford for representing the SoCon well by beating UGA and losing by 3 to Pitt Friday.

[bodoyle]

CCU beats Elon 69-46

CCU lead all the way and is now 2-1 on the season.

[bodoyle]

Goin to the Elon vs Coastal game tonight. I just hope we have a good showing and keep it close

Not trying to be a smartass. Let me know how the game was. I know we won, but how did we look etc? Did you like Joe Harris? He had 23 and 15 for us.

[Hoyadestroya85]

I think it's safe to say at this point that 'Nova is pretty beastly

[seantaylor]

No one in the ACC is touching Duke this season. Zags also look like the truth.

[grizband]

Weber loses against hated Utah State last night, 66-60. Shot 2-20 from three.
If at first, you don't succeed...?

Montana is 3-0 on the season, with wins over North Dakota, Boise State and Loyola Marymount; this is the first 3-0 start for Montana since 1995-1996.

[MSUDuo]

No one in the ACC is touching Duke this season. Zags also look like the truth.

Boy, you are at least two for two for wacked out comments tonight. I think UNC will have something to say about this comment.

-EDIT-

Just found another one. Make that 3 for 3 in wacked out comments

[seantaylor]

Not even going to be close. If you want to throw some cash on it, let me know. Duke wins the ACC by 3 games at the least. UNC might not even finish second.

[appmaj]

App State beat Lees McRae (77-44)

Next up @Arkansas 11/20

[appmaj]

No way....

[wkuhillhound]

How good are you guys this year? I want to see my Mean Green dance but I don't know if we can beat you guys.

WKU is picked to win the Sun Belt for the 3rd straight year and lost only one starter from a year ago. A.J. Slaughter busted out 30 against Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the preseason NIT. If that's any indication of how good WKU is, that should be it. North Texas has better watch out for Denver, they are coming fast in the West Division.

WKU has already have picked up two PFs for the 2011 class. One of them is ranked in the Top 100 in the country and the other one is a 3-star recruit according to rivals.com.

[wkuhillhound]

WKU (1 - 1) lost to LSU 71 - 60 for the South Region championship. xbawlingx It took a 12 - 0 run by LSU in the late stages of the game to get that deficit. The game was A LOT than the score indicates. It's on to Diddle Arena for 3 home games in the Preseason NIT. xthumbsupx The matchups TBD later.

[89Hen]

Georgetown beat Temple last night shooting 35% from the field. xeyebrowx

[Elon Fightin' Christians]

WOFFORD beat UGA !!!! great win...

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Georgetown beat Temple last night shooting 35% from the field. xeyebrowx

Two very good defensive teams.

It doesn't get any easier for Temple. We get Siene on Saturday at the Palestra. We need to win this game to rack up some quality OOC "W's". Our schedule is brutal but we have chances. The A10 is going to be tough this year i think. We have a darn good shot at an at-large if we stay healthy and win some big games. I really like our team. We're tough and the offense will get going. We have scorers but they're all used to looking at Christmas do his thing. Dunphy will mold this team in to something really good i believe.

[PhoenixMan]

That's still a heck of an effort. Go Buzz! Elon scored 102 points, won by 40. Fairleigh-Dickinson (DIII?), but we are gonna struggle, so I'm just glad they put it in the basket.

[NHwildEcat]

UNH lost to Maryland tonight...not like this should shock anyone...I believe the score was 82-55 (not positive) now they can get back to playing teams that have a shot against.

[phoenixphanatic21]

That's still a heck of an effort. Go Buzz! Elon scored 102 points, won by 40. Fairleigh-Dickinson (DIII?), but we are gonna struggle, so I'm just glad they put it in the basket.

Women's team put up triple digits last night too. I'm curious as to how many times a men's and women's team for the same school put up triple digits on the same night.

And after the past two games against Charlotte and Coastal, I'm just glad the ball finally went in the hoop. It seemed like we couldn't buy a basket at times during those two games. I blame the hoops in Cameron for that.

[wkuhillhound]

That's still a heck of an effort. Go Buzz! Elon scored 102 points, won by 40. Fairleigh-Dickinson (DIII?), but we are gonna struggle, so I'm just glad they put it in the basket.

Nope, Fairleigh Dickinson is Division I in the Northeast Conference.

[darell1976]

UND loses to UMKC 70-63 to go to 0-4. But then again the Sioux haven't had a good men's team since the early 90's.

[UNCBears2010]

UNC beat Texas Southern, 66-62, last night in a tournamet at Air Force. We play AFA tonight for the title.

[furpal87]

Furman went to 3-0 tonight 83-60 over Dartmouth. Rice next, we'll learn more.

UNC moves to 5-0 with a whoopin' of Air Force tonight, 70-47. The last time we beat AFA was 1957!

[YaleFootballFan]

Harvard now 3-0 after beating Bryant on Friday. Other wins: Holy Cross and William & Mary.xthumbsupx

[Seawolf97]

Stony Brook improved to 3-0 last night defeating Wagner 72-48. We travel to Univ. Rhode Island on Tuesday evening. That should be a good matchup.

[EKU05]

Missouri State starts their season with a very nice win over Auburn.

How is Adam Leonard doing? We were sorry to lose him to homesickness!

I think it's safe to say at this point that 'Nova is pretty beastly

But not quite as beastly as my Spartans! :p

[bodoyle]

CCU plays Indiana State tonight as part of the PreSeason NIT TipOff at WKU.

[wkuhillhound]

The Lady Toppers goes to (3 - 0) with a huge victory over South Dakota State in Brookings. 81 - 74. WKU went 8/8 from the line in the last 1:38 to seal the victory. Next up the Duke in the Caribbean Challenge in Cancun, Mexico on Thanksgiving afternoon and then against Arkansas on Friday.

Go Lady Tops!!!

The men (1 - 1) will take on Cal State Northridge as part of the Preseason NIT in Bowling Green and then finish up against Indiana State. Let's go Tops!!!!

[bodoyle]

3-1 CCU defeated 3-1 Indiana State to move to 4-1 by a final score of 77-62.

We play CS Northridge tomorrow 4:30pm

I'll take the Big 10, but it's really early.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple (2-1) plays Ball State at home tonight. The Cardinals are 2-0 so tonight might provide some trouble. However, i have to think we take care of business in Philly.

We have a big OOC game on Friday against Virginia Tech at home.

Well there isn't exactly a FBS bball thread, lol. Besides, Temple plays a majority of their bball games against FCS teams.

[Ivytalk]

Harvard lost at Army 56-53. Jeremy Lin was horrible. The Crimson couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.xsmhx

[EKU05]

EKU dropped a tough one at Pitt last week 71-60. The game was essentially dead even except for the fact that EKU went scoreless for the last seven minutes of the first half. The margin was single digits with a minute remaining, but the Panthers made their free throws down the stretch to ice the 11 point win.

This week EKU is hosting three straight nights of CBE classic action, and last night demolished Fairleigh Dichinson 68-39...it was never close. The action continues tonight with the Colonels taking on UC-Irvine, and finishing it off with future FCSers UTSA on Wednesday.

Saturday night Isiah Thomas brings his FIU Golden Panthers to Richmond.

Who's the low post player for Stony Brook that looks like he bench presses Buicks? I've seen some big dudes playing bball but that guy for the Wolves takes the cake.

[bodoyle]

CCU lost to CS Northridge tonight. We didn't play well but we were able to keep it close. We are now 4-2.

[onbison09]

Bison make a huge comeback to beat UC Davis last night.

[NHwildEcat]

Harvard lost at Army 56-53. Jeremy Lin was horrible. The Crimson couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.xsmhx

I hope that carries over for Harvard tonight when they host UNH...I think it is a good early season test for the 'Cats, who can win this one IMO.

[andy7171]

Ah crap! Towson S'ed the bed against Navy. If we lose to GD'ed UMBC I'm gonna have to look forward to lacrosse season already. :(

[wkuhillhound]

In the Preseason NIT pod. WKU defeated Cal State Northridge 68 - 67 and then lost to Indiana State 64 - 63 on a foul shot with .1 seconds left. Darn refs, make me sick!

Next: 12/2 @ South Carolina Go Toppers!!

[Bogus Megapardus]

Lafayette plays Georgetown on the hardwood this Saturday at noon (MASN-TV live). The Hoyas' payback for all those Patriot League football drubbings. :(

[gbhmt]

The Big East is vastly superior to every conference.

Nooooooooo way. Big Ten's clearly in front this year.

[EKU05]

EKU storms back from 13 down at the half to defeat red hot UTSA 74-72 in the final day of CBE action in Richmond. Junior Justin Stommes had all 17 of his points in the second frame including a 3-pointer with 9.7 second remaining to win it. EKU swept all three games during the round robin action and improves to 4-1 on the season with the only loss coming in a fairly cometative game against Pitt out of the Big East.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Since there's still no regular basketball thread i'll continue to plug my Owls here.
Temple took care of business 61-50 tonight against Virginia Tech. We led by 14-19 most of the night. I really like the way we're playing right now. If we could have only finished against Georgetown we'd be ranked right now. Even so i think we're knocking on the door. We play St. John's tomorrow.

A10
Xavier 80 Creighton 67 F
Rutgers 83 Umass 75 F
Richmond 63 Miss State 62 F, Big win for the Spiders! The Bulldogs are good.
Iowa State 65 St. Louis 54 F

[seantaylor]

Nobody beating Duke this year. Once they get stud fresh Mason Plumlee back from injury, watch out.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Nobody beating Duke this year. Once they get stud fresh Mason Plumlee back from injury, watch out.

I'll wait and see on that one. Duke has a lot of talent, more "real" talent then they've had in a number of years. However, they still have to perform in March. Their downfall has been athleticism and living and dying by the 3. They're more athletic but i still don't think they're going to run anyone out of the gym. The key will be down low. They have the two Plumlee guys who have potential. Zoubek is is horrendous.

Uconn is not as good as their ranking. They'll be a 8-9 loss team by the end of the year. They have good gaurds but nothing down low. I can't see them finishing in the top 4 in the BE.

[AggieRX]

Disappointing loss to NDSU on Tuesday, at Ball State on Saturday with an early start time. Aggies don't travel too well and with an early start time (10am pst), this one will be tough.

Stony Brook improves to 4-1 today with a 60-46 win against NJIT. The Seawolves travel to Lehigh Monday night. Tip off 7pm.

[bodoyle]

CCU improved to 5-2 after beating Allen 97-44

[crunifan]

Great day for the MVC, going 7-1 (Evansville the only loss)

UNI tops Northern Illinois, Missouri State over Tulsa, SIU over Illinois-Chicago, and our signature win thus far, Bradley over #21 Illinois!

[AggieRX]

Good road win for UC Davis, coming from behind to defeat Ball St.

[tribe_pride]

Tribe beats out Wake forest 78-68

[biggie]

Didn't see it, so:

App beats Morgan St by 1 in OT Saturday night.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple lost a tough one to St. John's last night, 55-48. St. John's was considered improved over last year and given their 5-0 record that might be true. Still this was one i think we win if we hadn't played Virginia Tech Friday night.

There were a lot of games in the A10 last night
#2 Michigan State 101 UMASS 68
#4 Villanova 83 La Salle 63
Oregon State 64 George Washington 57
Rhode Island 75 Davidson 65
Dayton 74 Towson 69
Notre Dame 64 St. Louis 52
Manhatten 68 Fordham 44, Fordham is pathetic...
Richmond 59 Missouri 52, The Spiders are legit
St. Bonaventure 98 Norfolk State 71

[AggieRX]

Two winnable games this week at home for UCD basketball, vs Sac State and vs Seattle U. Hopeful inconsistency doesn't appear again after a good road win out in the east coast

[ASU_Fanatic]

My Duke Blue Devils are looking GREAT! Also Appy is showing some promise. I think Buzz will get it turned around.

[EKU05]

EKU cruises to 5-1 after sending Isiah Thomas and the FIU Golden Panthers out of Richmond with an 81-67 loss. The Colonels open OVC play this Thursday at league favorite Murray State on ESPNU.

It's an interesting matchup between the two hottest teams in the OVC, and even slightly more intriguing because they are meeting in what is by national standards a very early conference game...and then won't play their second game of the season until the final game of the regular season. It will be interesting to see how each team evolves between this week and then.

[bshgriz]

UM almost pulled the upset on Washington, losing by 4. The Griz were up most of the game though, we should have won.

[MSUDuo]

Missouri State moved to 5-0 after a defeat of Tulsa on Saturday night. Tulsa had two preseason All-American nominees and a guy who will end up in the 1st Round of the NBA draft. This a completely different team than the one that finished with 11 wins and dead last in the Missouri Valley Conference last year. First road test is Wednesday at University of Arkansas-Little Rock

[Silenoz]

UM almost pulled the upset on Washington, losing by 4. The Griz were up most of the game though, we should have won.

If we had won, and with our win over a mediocre Oregon team, I bet we'd have gotten a few votes in the polls. Excited to see where this team goes though. Never too early to envision 11-12 seeds and another win in March this decade

[Seawolf97]

Stony Brook improves to 5-1 tonight defeating Lehigh on the road 71-52. Next up St Johns
in Queens Wednesday night.

[appmaj]

App (4-3) beat Winthrop last night 70-51

[phoenixphanatic21]

Elon's off to a rough start in the Matt Matheny era. Started the season 2-5 going into SoCon play, starting this Thursday at Samford.

[NHwildEcat]

UNH is currently 2-2...this Friday night they have a sure loss coming to them as they play @ Pitt. Since they will be 2-3 and their losses will have come to Harvard, Maryland & Pitt, and one win came against D3 Suffolk it is hard to gauge how this team is this year. I guess we won't really know until they play in conference competition.

Either way, I like that the program wants to challenge themselves and play some tough competition...it can only help the program going forward.

[Woof]

Terriers have looked good so far. We returned everyone from last year and picked up a couple of solid transfers. Nice win for us over Georgia and a close loss to Pitt to start the season. Close loss to Bradley. The televised game with Illinois got away from us a little near the end, but we played the #21 team pretty close for 3/4 of game. Couple of good wins in the Las Vegas tourney over Seattle U. and Southern. Sitting at 4-3 right now and are really just a couple of points/good breaks away from being 6-1.

We start conf play tomorrow night against Western Carolina who is supposed to be very good this year. Then off to Lansing to take on No. 2 Michigan St.xeekx.

[Ivytalk]

Harvard now 4-1 after road win at BU. However, we have a "death valley" of road games coming up in December at UConn, Georgetown and BC. Ugh!xsmhx

Big game tonight in Greeley as UNC takes on Colorado State. The campuses are separated by only 30 miles. Should be a nice one!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple plays fellow MAC foe Western Michigan tonight out there. We should be able to take care of business against the Broncos.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lehigh is hanging in there at 3-3. They did get run over of Stony Brook last night 71-52. SB is having a strong start to the year, they're 5-1.

The PL has 3 really bad teams right now, Holy Cross is 1-6, American 0-7 and Colgate 0-6. HC and American struggles are really surprising given they have been the two premier programs in the league the last decade. Army is leading the way so far at 5-1.

[Go...gate]

Colgate at 0 - 6 after losing 92 - 58 at Syracuse. Very tough early schedule, though. I think it will prepare us well for the Patriot League.

[TheValleyRaider]

The PL has 3 really bad teams right now, Holy Cross is 1-6, American 0-7 and Colgate 0-6. HC and American struggles are really surprising given they have been the two premier programs in the league the last decade. Army is leading the way so far at 5-1.

AU being winless isn't surprising, given the fact they lost a ton of really important people from last year. They'll probably be competitive again in the near future, but this year might be rough sailing

HC has a new coach, and without knowing how he'll work out, Ralph Willard was a heck of a guy to lose

Colgate's losses include UConn and Syracuse. The losses to Yale and St. Francis were tough, but I expect the team to rebound and perform well in the PL this season

After some of the teams they've put on the floor in recent years, it is nice to see Army doing well. Overall, though, the League does not look particularly strong this season

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple got a 76-70 win over a solid Western Michigan squad tonight. With the win we move to 5-2 on the season which is our best start since '00-'01 when we went to the Elite 8. I've been really impressed with our play to start the season. Given the rough start by some of the other A10 favorites Temple has stood up well.

In PL play, American got their first win of the season by beating Howard 59-53.

No other games tonight in the A10 or PL.

[Woof]

I'll be there! And we're no. 9 now :(

Tough loss for Sparty last night against the Heels. UNC made everything they looked at....but boy is MSU fast.xeekx

[DSUrocks07]

DSU is currently in 1st place in the MEAC at (4-1), albeit with 3 wins against lower division schools xnonono2x, but you gotta start somewhere, and if it helps us get actual HOME games then I'll support it.

Against D-1 competition, we're 1-1 with the win being over UD and the loss against Maine.

Morgan State is still the team to beat (they did beat Arkansas last week), but they seem to be in a slump losing to both App State and Loyola-MD.

Looking at our schedule, we have a shot at have a winning record going into conference play, and a potential 20-win season...THATS how you build your fanbase, with a winning tradition. It doesn't matter how it begins, just how you make it continue...

[ncbears]

NoCo is 7-0 after beating in-state rival CSU.!

[Seawolf97]

Stony Brook drops to 5-2 losing to St. Johns 63-55. Next game is home against Columbia

Old rivals, and two colleges names after French People. What a show, what a show . . . .

[PhoenixMan]

We are really bad.....only scored 31 points in a loss to Ga. Southern. Lowest output by an Elon men's team since 1949. Coach Matheny was positive though...somehow. Probably wishing he were back at Davdson. He will get it done in time, with his recruits.

We received 7 votes in the AP poll this week, look for that number to be bumped up :)

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Huge day for the A10! Charlotte headlined the day by crushing #18 Louisville 87-65 in Freedom Hall.

Temple got a big win in a hard fought contest agaisnt Penn State. The Owls were able to escape with 45-42 win over our middle of nowhere rivals. I love the way my Owls are playing right now. We've shown we can win in a shootout or a grind it out slugfest. We have a game against Miami(Oh) before our show down with #4 Villanova.

Lehigh battled but fell to Dayton 89-71. The Hawks got down in the first half and actually played the Flyers pretty even in second. Decent showing agaisnt a superior foe.

Lehigh is on a 12 day break for exams. They certaintly need to regroup. After a promising start the Hawks have tumbled losing 3 straight. The schedule softens up a bit minus a game against St. Joe's. If they're at all decent they'll go at least 4-2 before conference play starts.

[MSUDuo]

The Missouri State Bears move to a lovely 8-0 tonight after a thrashing of UT-Martin 79-51. MSU won a total of 11 games last year but this team is nothing like that one and is proving it on the court so far.

6 games, 24 days, 5 of them on the road including at St Louis, at Arkansas and at UNI with a home game against fellow undefeated Valley team Illinois State. We will find out if this team is for real in this tough, tough stretch.

Congratulations! Hope you do well this year. Would like to be mutually helpful in RPI. xnodx

W&M's loss to you was painfully close, but we are off to a good start as are you.

Hope this is the year that we finally make the NCAA's in B'ball. Wins against WFU, VCU and Rich are good. Both losses to UConn and you guys were respectable.

[Seawolf97]

This does worry me too, but it was our 5th game in about a week and a half, so hopefully the week's rest will help

Fordham had a terrific night agains tus. Thye shot 52 % from 3 point land and 52 % from the floor. Almost impossible to stop that since many of their shots were in the 25 foot range.

[crunifan]

Nice! Gonna be the favorites in the MVC?

Yep, UNI was voted the pre-season favorite to repeat as MVC Champs! We have all 5 starters back from a team that won the Valley tournament, regular season, and lost by 5 to Purdue in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Expectations are pretty high here in Cedar Falls.

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky (5 - 3) defeats Vanderbilt 76 - 69 at the Sommet Center. A.J. Slaughter scored a game high 27 pts including 18 in the 2nd half. He was 10/16 shooting, including 3/6 from 3-pt range. Kerusch had a double-double with 15 pts and 11 rebounds. Sally had 7 pts, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists in the balanced attack that WKU gave the win.

WKU is riding a 3-game winning streak

Next game: @ Louisville on 12/19.

WKU's season has turned the corner on the season and is riding high. If they can beat Louisville for the 2nd straight year, this team will be dangerous come tournament time. xthumbsupx

Now comes the fun part. Road game against St. Louis U next Saturday and then a date with the Razorbacks in Fayetteville on the 22nd.

Anybody see the end of the Butler-Xavier game? absurd ending. 1 pt lead for Xavier with Butler ball with 38 to go. The ball gets knocked back into the back court and the clock freezes for a second or 2 but then keeps going. After a couple of misses and scrambles, Butler scores with 1.2 seconds to go. The refs went to review clock and ruled the game over because they ruled that the stoppage of the clock lasted somewhere around 1.2 seconds (enough time so that Butler could shoot but not enough time to allow the play to continue afterwards)

Really???

[tribe_pride]

And Xavier very nearly won at Butler. (Controversial finish, but I think the refs got it right. Very tough loss for the Musketeers, but still a respectable OOC showing by the A10.)

Can you explain this finish to me. I have no stake in the game. How is it fair? If the frozen clock had come with 1-2 seconds to go, I'd understand going to the clock and fixing it but it happened with about 14-15 seconds to go and then started back up. It gave Xavier time to see the clock and work with the time remaining. No rush was needed for the first shot afterwards (the big clusterf... before the score is another story). At that point, the teams are playing with the clock as they see it. Unless you are going to go back and fix every clock stall in the game, that should be life. (this may be the rule but I don't like it if it is)

I having nothing involving FCS teams but i would like to say that Temple is ranked for the first time since the 2001 pre-season poll. My Owls came in at #22 in the AP and #25 in the ESPN/USA TODAY poll. The A10 is looking real, real good this year. xnodx

[I Bleed Purple]

The Big Sky had a good night. Weber beat CS Fullerton, Montana beat Fresno St., MSU beat Cal Poly, UNC destroyed San Jose St., and Sac St. existed.

Only PSU dropped a game, falling to Boise.

[UNCBears2010]

As I Bleed Purple noted above, UNC destroyed San Jose State tonight, hitting a school record 18 3-pointers in a 93-69 win. The Bears are now 10-3 on the season and have a week off before playing in-state rival Denver.

Was looking over some of the Big Sky teams yesterday and UNC has looked real good this year. Finally contributing positively to the conference. :p

Cornell of Iowa, haha. Their grads wouldn't like you calling them that. They take pride in wearing their Cornell apparel. For some reason they always seem to leave out the College part. xlolx

[Seawolf97]

Stony Brook took a beating at home last night at the hands of St Peters.
Final St Peters 67 SBU 46-very ugly game. Next up is Holy Cross Thursday afternoon 2pm.

[UNCBears2010]

UNC beat Denver 72-57 last night, moving the Bears to 3-0 against in-state rivals this year. The only DI team in the state we haven't beat, Colorado, refuses to schedule us, but I've heard from several reliable sources that we hammered them in a closed scrimmage in November. UNC is now 11-3 and takes on TCU tomorrow night, looking to go 3-1 against the Mountain West this year.

[bodoyle]

CCU moves to 12-2 (2-0) with a 76-64 win @ home over Georgia Southern. CCU has won 8 in a row and finished the month of December undefeated. I believe it is the best 14 game start to a season in school history.

[crunifan]

UNI is 12-1 (3-0 MVC) after their win against Missouri State.

Tough week ahead with games at SIU and Illinois State. Gotta believe if UNI can win those two, we will be ranked next week.

[Seawolf97]

I might go to the Binghamton-Stony Brook game next Tuesday night. Former Temple star Mark Macon is the HC of the Bearcats. He's had a tall task this year and has done a good job keeping BU competitive. They beat La Salle this past weekend.

Binghamton is less than an hour away and if the weather is decent i'd like to go up. I heard their new arena is really nice plus i'm pulling for Macon to right the ship.
