That's why we match up so well with them! We can throw two more athletic Osunniyi's at 'em.

Makhel and Walker basically took him out last year.
It is great that URI is 3-0, but they are not close to a top 25 team. BC is the worst team in the ACC and we scored only a couple of fgs in the second half. There is a reason people had them in the top 25 and URI outside of the top 100. Hopefully URI keeps improving, but let’s take it easy with the hype
I'm not hyping I'm stating a fact.

We match up well with them. We quite literally beat that exact St Bonaventure team last year while turning the ball over 20 times.

How did we do it?

We match up extremely well against them because our guards play really good man to man defense and our bigs can neutralize Osun. Get him in foul trouble and out athlete him. And we he goes out they are very vulnerable inside. We did that last year and we match up even better this year if we have both twins and Twan.

Not saying we are a top 25 team. We just match up well against them.
One team we don’t match up with is Tulsa I guess.

Any talk about us being a top 25 or NCAA tourney team is ludicrous......and that was before last night.....

Even with improved coaching, the talent isn't there, it's obvious.

Every league game will be a struggle.....

First Sunday results are in.

In a Sunshine slam game, Bryant is an easy winner over Holy Cross, 78-62. At one point Bryant had a 30 point lead. Peter Kiss put in 35 points.

Also, Boston U. easily beats Northern Illinois, 76-58 in a Jacksonville Classic game. Javante McCoy was top scorer with 18 points.

Entertaining game between Bonnies and Marquette so far. The Bonnies fans really traveled well to Charleston.

Bonnie’s had looked very pedestrian through their first four games.

They’ve really flipped the switch and are showing out. Nearly doubling up undefeated Marquette
