[superman7515]

Some FCS schools have basketball teams in action tonight. Lehigh is currently winning against St. John's out of the Big East. Liberty is down big to #19 Texas A&M at the half. Duquesne takes on #16 Arizona tonight as well.

[superman7515]

Lehigh falls in a close one, 78-73.

Duquesne up 30-28 at #16 Arizona at halftime.

UND #112

They predict a 9-16 (5-6 GWC) record in DI games only. 75-70 win over NDSU...sounds good to me!!

[ngineer]

Lehigh really gave away a huge opportunity for the big upset. Up by 16 but in serious foul trouble, the Mountain Hawks were afraid to play serious D. Still, they had chances in the final 1:30 to win, but made several turnovers. St. Johns had 33 foul shots to Lehigh's 14 or so. A 'good' learning experience for the team that should serve them well down the road.

[LakesBison]

DARREL. are you mentally insane? if you click on that RPI link EVERYONE IS 0-0, look at the strenght of schedule SOS rank... its listed. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc etc ...

ps- 9-16 sucks, but you will think its a moral victory.

I know that. Its something to click on game by game to see the ranking game by game, its not a coaches poll.

Here is their power rankings.

RTR College Basketball Power Ratings

RPI ratings can be misleading, especially in the early season. In order to address these issues, we also provide our own college basketball Power Ratings to college basketball fans.

Harvard will open its 2011-2012 season with a real contest (NOT exhibition) against MIT at home tonight.

[TheRevSFA]

SFA opens vs the Gents of Centenary College. This could be Coach Danny Kaspar's 200th victory.

[superman7515]

Delaware opens tonight at the Radford Highlanders. Just one of several underwhelming opponents on the Blue Hens schedule that will probably end up easily defeating the sham of a basketball team under the supervision of Monte Ross (53-103 .339 overall, 29-61 .322 in conference).

[darell1976]

UND opens tomorrow against Waldorf College. UND was picked second in the GWC poll just behind Utah Valley. UND is 2-0 lifetime vs Waldorf which is in Forest City, IA. They are a NAIA team.

[HailSzczur]

Road to the Superdome begins tonight for VU as we take on Monmouth at home

As I predicted, Delaware loses to Radford (picked to finish last in the Big South) by a score of 58-54. Maybe we can cut men's basketball.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

On the plus side the women's team absolutely dominated A-10 Rhody.

[HailSzczur]

Cats top Monmouth 106-70. We looked great tonight, its gonna be a great year.
And another plus the women's team beat #25Michigan St tonight as well.

[bonarae]

Harvard beat MIT 76-47 (MIT actually went to the Division III Big Dance last season, and made it into the second round.)

[BEAR]

On the women's side of basketball, the UCA SugarBears defeated the Indiana Hoosers 58 - 46. Way to go ladies! xbowxxbowx

NDSU (men) takes down USF on the road 73 to 65.


Ironically NDSU and USF have identical home jerseys... Sans nickname difference.

San Francisco not south florida.

[dgtw]

Harvard beat MIT 76-47 (MIT actually went to the Division III Big Dance last season, and made it into the second round.)

Too bad Harvard can't go to the Big Dance. But since the powers that be at Harvard feel postseason basketball takes away from class time and the specialness that is amateur sports, they have to sit it out.

[dgreco]

Bryant is having a great first half against San Diego State. They are down 28-27 at the half.

[ngineer]

After opening at St. Johns Wednesday night, Lehigh now goes out to Iowa State. Pretty tough opening schedule with 6 straight games on the road.

[dgreco]

Bryant blew it in the second half and SDSU got hot. Bryant lost 63-75.

I wonder why everyone trashes the summit.... yet almost every single FCS conference is rated way below it(Summit is 18th of 32 conferences in this preview).

Where is your basis? There are no rules governing the restriction of postseason play in basketball. Only in football we feel powerless.

Remember that our women's basketball team upset Stanford back in 1998, the only time a #16 has beat a #1.

Well yeah, the IVY is a true mid major..... none of us get at large bids.

A-10
WCC
MVC
MWC
CUSA

Are your pretend mid majors and they are who will get at large bids..

Also I was under the impression the IVY has the right to an Autobid in the FCS should they choose to accept a playoff bid, They just do not for their own reason and are replaced by an additional atlarge.

Big sky is usually pretty bad overall at basketball.

[dgtw]

Sorry, I forgot to include my sarcasm icon in my post.

[MTfan4life]

Big sky is usually pretty bad overall at basketball.

Sagarin has the Big Sky at 21 out of 33 conferences. The Big Sky is usually very balanced in conference play and they get good out of conference wins each season. In 2010-11 they were 23 and Summit was 18. In 09-10 Big Sky was 19 Summit was 24. 08-09 Big Sky 17 Summit 21. 07-08 Big Sky 23 Summit 20. 06-07 Big Sky 19. 05-06 17. Where among those ratings is pretty bad? They're not mid-major by any means, but those are decent consistent numbers.

Sagarin (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin-archive.htm)

[RabidRabbit]

In a rare home game, SDSU Jacks bounce MAC pre-season #1, Western MI, 81-74.

In women's start SDSU smothered the St. Cloud St. Huskies 74-36, allowing only 10 pts in the 1st half. The Summit may have 3 WBB teams in the post-season this year.

As someone else already pointed out, alot of teams haven't even played yet, its way too early to be citing a ranking like that. The pre season football sagarin had Villanova in the top 65 and the 2nd highest FCS team and look how that prediction worked out.

Lehigh lost another tough one on the road. This time at Iowa State, 87-78. Down by only 4 at the half, 36-32. Team is showing it can hang with some of the bigger conference schools. Should do them well once we get to league play.

[Twentysix]

NDSU dominted ULL in the second day of the hilltop tournament and is now 2-0. 78-58 destroyed them. Our team is so young. I cannot believe this start.

Sunbelch is turrible.

For montana fan. So far my only comparison is ULL(83) v NAU(66) and ULL(58) v NDSU(78).

looking pretty fluffy. Maybe NAU will drop 30 on NDSU tommorow, we shall see.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate jumped out to a big lead, then held on to win 78-74 at Binghamton. Matt Langel wins his coaching debut, first for a Colgate coach since Howard Hartman in 1949

Colgate opens up 1-0 for the first time since 2008

Next up for the Raiders, Wednesday night at Wisconsin. Check us out on ESPN3

StonyBrook is 1-1 on the young season. We lost at Indiana on 11/11 96-66 and destroyed D3 Mt Ida College today 93-39. Next game Tuesday 11/15 at Sacred Heart 7pm. Not much balance in our schedule so far. Going forward we have Sacred Heart on the road , Columbia at home and travel to Nortwestern on Thanksgiving weekend.

[ASU_Fanatic]

App St started the season with a big win over little school Lees McRae....next Tuesday App plays ECU in Charlotte, gonna go to that one. App should have a solid squad this year and could have a chance to win the Socon tourny.

App St. has a solid transfer from Gonzaga in G.J. Vilarino. It'll be interesting to see how he does this season. The Zags have transfers playing all over the place. Poor kids don't like having to compete or wait for playing time.

[darell1976]

UND beats Idaho State 63-47 to improve to 2-0 on the season! UND plays at Bradley on Saturday.

24 hours of college hoops about to start on ESPN!! Good one to start, Gonzaga-WSU!

Temple took down Penn 73-69 in OT to start the year. Both teams are going to be really good this year.

My Zags are looking good tonight! I'm excited for what they will bring to the table this season!

StonyBrook dropped a 74-63 game at Sacred Heart tonight. The Seawolves are 1-2 on the season.

Nova shruggs off LaSall in OT 76-69 to move to 2-0 and 1-0 in the Big 5
Big Five standings as of tonight:
Temple: 1-0
Nova: 1-0
St. Joes: 0-0
LaSalle: 0-1
Penn: 0-1

[asucrutch23]

I was at the App State at ETSU game tonight. Embarrassing first half performance for App. Slowly chipped away at the lead in the 2nd half and brought it down to 9 but ended up losing by 13. Coach Capel has got to figure out a way to cut down on turnovers. You can't expect to win when you have more turnovers than made shots!

[MSUDuo]

Missouri State starts off another season with two impressive road wins at Nevada(by 22) and at Arkansas State(by 31). Both which were picked to win their conference. Missouri State was picked to finish 6th in the Missouri Valley due to losing 4 starters and our head coach who took the Tennessee job.

[MTfan4life]

I will add Missouri State to my list of teams to watch out for. That's sure an impressive start!

Really? I'm guessing you've never played basketball if you think a nine point game isn't close? Nine points could be a close game where the winning team simply made their foul shots at the end. There were 8 lead changes in the game. UND was ahead midway through the second half.

[ngineer]

Any basketball game with a margin within 10 points at the end is close. With all the fouling going on to gain possession, the resultant foul shots can really skew a score. I've talked to many in the collegiate game, and they view any win within the 10 range as being a very competitive game.

Unless garbage time has the losing team put up a bunch of points. Being down 20 with 4 to go and losing by nine is not a competitive game.

Typical Bison fan response. For a team like UND who is still a young team (3 FR, 5 SO, 6 JR, 2 SR) going on the road against Bradley, a MVC (the conference NDSU drools about) member, who was also 2-0 and actually lead halfway though the 2nd half only to have Bradley pull away late and with foul shots at the end lose by 9...still close IMO.

3 3pt makes does not tie that game. Unless the other team is putting up garbage. Assuming you are hitting all your 3's. The team that was leading probably put 6 on you while you put 9 on them. You are still losing by 6 15 points later.

If you are losing by 9 with 2 minutes to go I would give you a chance. If you are losing by 9 with 30 seconds to go you lost barring a meltdown.

Who cares. Why do you care? No no seriously...why do you care if UND lost by 9 or 90? IMO 9 is a close game. If we lose by 15 to Kansas I would say we did a good job. Sorry we can't win them all like NDSU has done so far.xrolleyesx

To continue, as a fan of a team who wins a lot of games by 9 or more points, especially in conference play, it really depends on how the game has gone to whether a nine point spread is close or not. I don't know if it's a good thing or not that incoming Big Sky teams think losing by 9 is close or not.

http://www.fightingsioux.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPID=6388&DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=205336458

The Sioux would stay within striking distance over the next nine minutes never falling behind by more than five, but point guard Dyricus Simms-Edwards buried two big 3-pointers late in the contest to help seal the victory.
Those treys came after Anderson had pulled the Sioux to within a pair at 58-56 with just under six minutes to play. His second trifecta stretched the home team’s lead to seven and UND could not make a late run as Bradley remained unbeaten on the young season.

The Southland had a bunch of good wins last night UTA over UNT, Lamar over Tennessee-Martin, UTSA over Fresno State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi beats Utah State.

Glad that SDSU put an L on SHSU in the CBE consolation tourney at Mercer. Jacks won all 3, vs Niagara, SHSU and Mercer to get to 4-2. Up next for the men, UNeb-Lincoln. So far vs. BCS teams, Jacks are 0-2.

UND beat Montana 88-81 in OT. First win for the Sioux over the Griz since 1964. UND goes to 3-1 with a Saturday afternoon game hosting Western Illinois up next.

[ngineer]

Unless garbage time has the losing team put up a bunch of points. Being down 20 with 4 to go and losing by nine is not a competitive game.

That is true. I was not considering the situation of one team having a huge lead and then the opponent doing better at the end against their bench. So , you do have to check the circumstances.

UND beat Montana 88-81 in OT. First win for the Sioux over the Griz since 1964. UND goes to 3-1 with a Saturday afternoon game hosting Western Illinois up next.

They beat U of Great Falls, a crap NAIA school by one. They'll definitely need to improve if they want to compete in the Big Sky. Losing Qvale was much more of a major loss than people assumed with the preseason rankings.

[darell1976]

I thought Montana was supposed to be good this year. Sucks for Weber to have Big Sky teams drop in the RPI.

They said during the game that Montana was picked to finish second in the Big Sky. UND led by 11 at the half only to piss it away and had to come back just to send it to OT. UND scored the first 10 points of OT, and even though Montana started to come back in OT actually cutting the lead to 4 UND held on. UND needs to improve on FT. They were horrible. A big win for our program and it just shows how we can be a threat in the Big Sky. UND is now 2-0 vs the BSC this season.

Like clockwork, within a reasonable time after a Darrell post, you complain to the level that his posts are somehow injuring you. Sticks and stones may break Lakes bones, but Darrell's comments on AGS/CS will make Lakes cry and cry and cry. You speak as if he's physically injuring you. How about this. You make it a goal to not mention Darrell in any of your posts? If he responds you just ignore him. If you begin to feel the urge to complain, you can just block him. If you do all this in one day you will get a treat at the end of the day. Does that sound simple enough?

You should have promised him a juice box.

Harvard beat Seattle U 80-70 to move up to 8-0, equalling our best start since 1984-1985.

(I'm afraid that this streak will end with UConn on Thursday, because Boatright is now on court [he played his first career game in 3rd place game of the Battle 4 Atlantis.])

UMKC is horrible, und should win handily.

You just described how a mature adult would respond.

NDSU plays Arizona State the same time NDSU plays Lehigh.

Maybe they will put the score up on the video boards at some point.

[bodoyle]

CCU is off to a 7-1 start with wins over LSU at home and Clemson on the road.

They take on the Citadel tonight in Charleston.

Does NDSU have a Pac 10 (12 whatever they are called) connection? Didn't they play USC last year and Stanford before that?

[Ivytalk]

Maybe not, but I'll take the ranking. I hope the UConn game is on TV somewhere.

We never played stanford, We did play USC and played Cal before that.

3 of our next 4 games are against Arizona State, Minnesota and Oakland.

It was Cal...for some reason I was thinking Stanford, my bad. Seems like you guys like tackling the Pac 12.

[HailSzczur]

Nova plays #10 Mizzou tough for the first half, and then the 2nd half of the 2nd half falling by 10. Gonna be a long year I think

So much for the winning streak, Colgate takes a beating in Albany, losing 87-63 to the Danes

Raiders are now 3-5

Harvard loses to UConn, 67-53 in Storrs. Gallant effort by the Crimson: it was a two-point game at the half.

[Twentysix]

What else...free throws.

This puzzles me as to how the NDSU UND game will go.

I was thinking it was gonna be a blowout, then I compared WIU scores and thought it would be really close... Now im leaning towards blow out again.

NDSU will beat UND by at least 15.

How can you compare a team that NDSU has not played yet? What is it that makes UMKC SO bad? They played conference power Oakland to within 13 on the road. They won their other road conference game.

[darell1976]

NDSU will beat UND by at least 15.

If UND loses by 15 or less to Kansas on New Year's Eve....I say UND beats the Bison.

If UND loses by 15 or less to Kansas on New Year's Eve....I say UND beats the Bison.

I'll take that in the form of a bet!

[darell1976]

UND is 0-2 all time vs Kansas

Losing 108-77 in 2001 and a 92-61 loss in Lawrence in 2000.

Attendance was 16,300 in Lawrence and 13,280 the largest crowd to watch a basketball game in ND history.

Just that these 2 teams hold the ND state record for attendance and that the UND-NDSU game in January may tie or break it. Thanks for your interest in UND basketball.
