Week #1 - Games of Interest

[Obadiah]

UMass overcame an early second half 10 point deficit to edge Fairfield, 62-60

[ramster]

someone check on ramster. His UMass minutemen juggernaut has 24 points at halftime against Fairfield.

UMASS won 62-60. UMASS was favored in the game played at Fairfield by 3.
Freshmen scored 45 of the 62 UMASS points or 73%

Warwick’s Hendricken Graduate, Freshman TJ Weeks, hit 3-4 on 3FGs plus 6 rebounds and 2 steals for 9 points
Weeks is now 7-10 on 3FGs in two games for 70%. He has 32 points in 2 games

[ramster]

Nicholls came away a 75-70 winner. The Colonels led the entire game with Pitt closing to within one with 51 seconds left but Nicholls showed grit in holding Pitt off in the closing seconds for the victory.

Pitt was favored by 18.5 points
Nichols hit 46% on 3FGs while Pitt hit only 25% on 3FGs

What gym is Seton Hall playing in? WOW.

[ramster]

PC favored by 16 over NJIT
5’8” (if that) Zach Cooks will be an interesting match up with Lawane Pipkins. Cooks is an explosive scorer and good 3 point shooter who had a bad 3 point shooting first game. Will be interesting if he gets hot today. Hope so anyway.

Seton Hall plays most of its games in the Prudential Center in downtown Newark. The Stony Brook game was played at their on campus Walsh Gym which holds 2600.

Wow looks like Nichols St turning into a quality opponent for us

Say it ain’t so Jeff Capel

How does the school deal with season tix holders? Imagine if we played a game in Keaney?

Teams who do that typically separate those tickets from season ticket packages and give priority based on donor level.

[theblueram]

So RJ, the best donors get to sit on pine in a gym with 2600 people and watch Stony Brook? Not very classy.

Are you serious? I’d love to see a game at a sold out Keaney once a year haha

Their first game against Wagner was played at the on campus 1,665 seat Walsh Gym as well. It is similar to the old Keaney with a stage at one end. All their other home games going forward will be played at the Pru in nearby Newark.

As much as I love the gym, and seen many many games there, I wouldn't go backwards.

Holy shit

right...? Pitt just beat FSU...

[NYGFan_Section208]

They both looked like shit tonight against Auburn.

Overall...maybe, but when they were closing out the first half only down two...they (Davidson) definitely looked like they were going to be a handful to play.

Bigger question...now that we know his bro plays for Davidson, will Danny Dimes be at the Ryan Center on Jan 8?
Pretty sure the Giants season will be over by then...

ETA: And if he is...will anyone recognize him?

[Rhodyram]

LaSalle beats iona in OT. Good win for the Explorers as Iona was favored by 1 on the road.

[Obadiah]

The first week of the college basketball season closes with only one game of interest on tap. In the A-10, Saint Joseph's visits Old Dominion for a 2 PM game.

[Obadiah]

Four more A-10 teams held their home openers with only Davidson left to hold their home opener. Not always true, but generally home openers draw big crowds.

Richmond 6,602
Dayton 13,407
La Salle 3,135
George Washington 3,677

Florida State lost to Pitt, who lost to Nicholls State, and are now up 10 on #6 Florida. I love college basketball!

[ramster]

Merrimack, 1st year in D1, lost their first game to Maine but then upset P5 Big 10 Northwestern on their own home court.

I saw that earlier. Had no clue they moved to D1 NEC conference

I live 20 mins away from campus, might have to head to a few games, maybe when they play Bryant

St. Joe's in a barn burner at ODU behind a point late.

[KevanBoyles]

UVA V JMU at 6 o’clock if you’re interested to see a suffocating defense. Will JMU score 40? On ESPNU.

Former URI Guard Josh Oppenheimer joined JMU as an assistant coach this year.

Nice to see freshman Jaylin Hunter have a good game for ODU. His dad, Kenya, is an assistant at UConn who is currently on leave from the team due to a medical issue.

[Obadiah]

St. Joe's completely collapses in final two minutes to lose to ODU, 82-69.

[KevanBoyles]

UVA V JMU at 6 o’clock if you’re interested to see a suffocating defense. Will JMU score 40? On ESPNU.

Over/Under 124.5. UVA may score 60. JMU will be lucky to get 50 or even 40. Definitely under.

[ace]

This picture is brutal. Just so unimaginably tragic.

[KevanBoyles]

UVA 65-34.

[reef]

UVA has allowed 34 points in each of its first two games that is unreal
