Only caught the last 9 minutes or so.fun game to watch.
Long Island was the former LIU Brooklyn I believe. They merged their athletic program with LIU Post when both campuses merged.
Great stuff, plydogg. Thanks.A10 Teams in Action:
1) VCU got the big win over a ranked LSU team. This was a big win for them and the stats I will post is not to disparage their win at all but simply show why maybe we can match-up well with them this year. VCU shot 32% from 3 and 41% overall. LSU shot 51% but VCU made their money at the line going 23-29. They were absolutely pounded on the glass though. They only had one fewer offensive rebound than LSU but that doesn't tell the story.
There were 33 rebounds available after LSU missed shots. VCU grabbed 18 and LSU grabbed 15. That means after each LSU missed shot there was a 45% chance LSU would end up with the ball again. This number decreased to 37%.
Again this was a HUGE win for VCU. These were just certain stats that it appears may be able to go slightly in our favor this season.
2) Saint Joseph's beat UCONN in a buy game. For UCONN that is the epitome of brutality. The Hawks let a 27 point lead dwindle down to just 3 with 5:32 left and it looked like they may not hold on. Ryan Daly had 30 in this one and stopping him will be the key to beating this team. He has been wildly inconsistent this season with 26, 8, and 30 points. He is averaging 32.4% from the field (5.5 for 17...yikes!)
3) Fordham beats Fairleigh Dickinson in a close one that never saw the lead by either team stretch to more than 7. The teams combined to go 5 for 34 from 3 with 22 assists and 33 turnovers. Ugly win by Fordham but they move to 2-0
4) George Mason beats Long Island. Mason is now 3-0 but they only beat Long Island by 6 (this is Long Island's first season as a D1 program). They never were able to stretch the lead past 8 and only won the rebounding battle by one. Just like Fordham though they got the job done and right now we just want as many A10 teams as possible to go +1 in the win column.
5) Saint Louis beats Eastern Washington in a rout to move to 3-0. The Billikens held their opponents to 30.2% from the field while winning the rebounding battle by 1 (but being outrebounded on offense 15-7). St. Louis had 23 assists on 31 made bucks. Keep in mind this was a 2-0 Eastern Washington team they played.
6) La Salle loses to Penn. This Penn team already knocked off Alabama but then was throttled by Rice. La Salle was destroyed on the boards in a way that would make Chris Mooney blush. They were -17 overall and had 3 offensive rebounds to 16 for Penn. The Explorers went 3-14 from 3 and in the entire game had 5 assists. That isn't a typo. They also had 16 turnovers. This team does not have a forgiving OOC schedule coming up.
Non-Conference Opponents
1) St. Francis (PA) is able to get their first win of the season with a 6 point win over Morgan State. They outrebounded the Bears 45-27 but committed 21 turnovers (Morgan State only committed 10). They won this game by going 31-35 from the free throw line. This was a bad Morgan State team, so we will see how St. Francis fares in their upcoming games.
2) Wisconsin beats McNeese in a 2-for-1 as both of these teams are on our schedule! Wisconsin only led by 3 at the half but picked up the win by 20 (McNeese led by as many as 8 at one point though). Wisconsin only had 7 offensive rebounds and only won the rebounding battle by 4. The talent differential was clear though as the AST/TO ratio for McNeese was 13/18 while being 19/10 for Wisconsin.
3) Boston College beats High Point 59-33. Both teams had 41 rebounds but High Point committed 29 turnovers (to only 6 assists!!). BC went 3-25 from 3 and only shot 37% from the field (High Point shot 25%). I think if we had played this BC team today we would have beat them.
4) Charleston loses to Oklahoma State by 19. This was a home game for Charleston and a chance at a good win (OK State is now 3-0). Charleston shot 33% while OK State shot 52%. Charleston also went 18.5% from 3, was -5 in rebounding, and committed 5 more turnovers than assists (14 to 9). We can only hope they play this poorly against us.
5) Old Dominion beats Loyola (MD). Old Dominion was +2 in rebounding and committed 13 turnovers to 14 assists. Loyola had 21 turnovers to 12 assists. Old Dominion moves to 2-1 (one of their wins is against St. Joes by 13).
That wraps up today's games!
Is it correct that CSUN & GB play 2 teams headed to Brooklyn and 2 that are not, while Colgate gets 1 Brooklyn team and 2 not.CSUN @ Auburn tonight on SEC Network.
I noticed that Colgate is only playing 1 regional game, while McNeese is playing 3.
Yes, that is the sub-regional. Something must have prevented McNeese from attending that, so they got an extra Regional game. Now they, along with Colgate, get 3 games. The tournament is set up so that all participants get 4 games.Looks like Green Bay is holding their own 3 day event.

Too bad about McNeese. Otherwise They could have played Colgate, replaced Colgate against CSUN, and...Yes, that is the sub-regional.

We had McNeese and CSUN from the start. Whatever happened didn't affect us.Too bad about McNeese. Otherwise They could have played Colgate, replaced Colgate against CSUN, and...
we could have gotten Colgate instead of NcNeese.

I know. I just wanted them to switch with us instead of Wisconsin or New Mexico...We had McNeese and CSUN from the start. Whatever happened didn't affect us.
Other than wiscy, we are playing the bottom dwellers of the p6. But we are exciting!Belmont 100, Boston College 85.
Best OOC in the A10!Other than wiscy, we are playing the bottom dwellers of the p6. But we are exciting!
Don't look now but the Minutemen are 4-0.
Don't look now but Fordham is 3-0!
Don't look now but the Patriots are 4-0!
McNeese State is up next, and they are probably worse than CSUN. Their only win is against an 0-7 NAIA team.
CSUN: Sagarin 295, KenPom 237, BPI 192, Massey 300
McNeese: Sagarin 290, KenPom 310, BPI 275, Massey 335
Yes, it's early so there's a lot of deviation in the rankings. But there's a reason McNeese scheduled 3 non-NCAA teams in their OOC. They stink.
We should destroy them.
McNeese and CSUN are both bottom dwelling Quad 4 teams. Best class ever should not allow either within striking distance on our home court. We didn't with CSUN, would expect the same with McNeese St.CSUN: Sagarin 295, KenPom 237, BPI 192, Massey 300

I agree that we shouldn't. However Wisconsin led McNeese 35-34 at the half before a 36-18 3rd quarter.McNeese and CSUN are both bottom dwelling Quad 4 teams.
