Week of 11/7 Other Games

[Hey Adrien!]

Games are tomorrow!



For me, I'll be watching two games live:

Monday: Penn @ Iona - It's become an annual tradition for me to go to Iona's home opener the week of parent/teacher conferences. My school is just 25 minutes from Iona, so I'll just stay late to grading/prep for conferences and then head to the game. There's a chance Penn's star Jordan Dingle (20.9 ppg last season) won't play, which would stink, but I'm also curious who steps up in Iona's retooled backcourt.

Sunday: Columbia @ Sacred Heart - This will be my post-leaf raking reward. I love Sacred Hearts' frontcourt duo of Nico Galette and Bryce Johnson and after their backcourt from last year moved on (Tyler Thomas to Hofstra; Aaron Clarke to Stony Brook; Alex Watson graduated), 6'7 Quinnipiac grad transfer Brendan McGuire is tabbed as the team's point-forward. Hartford's Raheem Solomon (Niagara) was brought in for efficient two-way play while Hamden's Aidan Carpenter (Siena) brings athleticism and slashing ability. For Columbia, I'm excited for their youth movement: Will Avery Brown play?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

First thoughts watching the start of the La Salle/Nova game:

• Eric Dixon looks markedly quicker than last year.
• I'm surprised Arcidiacono is starting over Mark Armstrong.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

After watching some of last night's game and scouring the box scores, here are some thoughts on most of the local teams after yesterday:

Providence has started slowly. Down 9 to Rider. Is Floyd hurt or is he not in their rotation?

He was hurt and didn’t play in their exhibition.

 

[87Xfer]

PeeCee down 40-29 to Rider approaching half.

 

[storrsroars]

Friars are experiencing the Curse of Dunkin. Down 10 at half.

I wonder if Amica insures season ticket purchases

 

[SteelCT]

Akok is playing really well…13 and 8 with 3 blocks with 11:48 to go against Coppin St

Gtown was favored by almost 20, down 3 right now with 7:30 left

 

[Hey Adrien!]

BC is pathetic.

 

[Jay-Bone]

BC is pathetic.

I think they lost the line by 3.5 pts too. I got paid.

 

[husky8273]

Gonzaga down 7 at the half.

 

[NowInStorrs]

UNC and Villanova are both down at halftime

 

[Jay-Bone]

Villanova lost to Temple who lost to Wagner. Yikes. That is not good by the transitive property.

 

[superjohn]

Oregon lost by 13 to UC Irvine.

 

[Castlevania]

Oregon lost by 13 to UC Irvine.

They were down by 27 at one point.

 

[Yawin4Heisman]

Oregon lost by 13 to UC Irvine.

I believe the only top 25 teams to lose so far are the ones on our schedule which is a bit annoying from a SOS standpoint (I know, I know, it’s early)... and Oklahoma State lost to Southern Illinois too

 

[NowInStorrs]

Louisville goes down again

 

[SeattleHoop]

Louisville goes down again View attachment 80606

I remember when they crushed us by like 40 and Harrell was dunking all over us…Karma

 

[NowInStorrs]

Stonehill beat Army

 

[shizzle787]

Wichita State lost to Alcorn State.

 

[shizzle787]

URI lost to Texas State.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Villanova lost to Temple who lost to Wagner who lost to Lasalle. Yikes. That is not good by the transitive property.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I didn't watch the game, but Albany squandered a 38-27 lead at halftime to lose 75-62 to Siena.

Notable because Andre Jackson's brother, Marcus, has actually been a backup rotation piece as a freshman, averaging 10 minutes per game for Albany.
