Former Spiders & Friends of the Family playing in 23-24 ...

You have all of the locations backwards...those games are at 'Nova, VCU, 'Bama, and Charlotte (Spectrum Center).

Also, Andre Weir and FCGU are hosting NAIA Ave Maria.

BTW, McKay said they're planning to redshirt Blair and the other two frosh.
fixed - hadn't realized Curtis was redshirting - clearly I need an editor and more coffee - appreciate it ..
 
Last night stats

TB
- 1st double double of year with 10 pts and 13 rebounds as Villanova crushed new D1 member Le Moyne.
Jason Nelson - Didn't start but 31 minutes with 11 points and sparked VCU comeback. As someone else said, may be back in the starting lineup soon.
Andre Weir - 15 minutes, 9 points, 8 boards as FGCU beat the often overlooked Ave Maria Gyrenes by 9.

Jarin Stevenson- Another solid game for what will likely be a good Bama team. 18 minutes, 10 points.

Saturday Games

Isaiah Wilson
- Drexel at Winthrop. 530pm ESPN+. Still not sure if Isaiah is fully recovered from last year's knee injury since didn't play in 1st two games.

Marcus Randolph - St Peters at NJIT. 4pm Espn+

Malcolm Dread - Coppin State at Mt. St Marys (favored by 15.5) - 4pm ESPN+.
 
I saw one comment from a Winthrop blogger saying he thought he heard the coach say Wilson is out for the entire season again. There were recent photos of him participating in workouts though, so maybe a new injury? Again, unconfirmed, but terrible news if accurate.

BTW, Nikolas Gustafson played 19 minutes off the bench for UT Tyler in a season-opening 2-point loss to Western Colorado yesterday. Scoreless on 0-for-5 from the field, 3 boards, 2 steals, and an assist.

Ugh - always liked Isaiah and thought he made the right decision to transfer and hoped he would have a few good years af Winthrop
 
Malcom didn't get into the game during Mt. St Mary's 76-60 win over Coppin State.

Penn has had Villanova on the ropes all game, but TB just threw down a poster to cut the deficit to 5 with 6:50 left. We’ll see if that energizes them.
 
Villanova (and Tyler to a slightly lesser extent) played really rough and disorganized.. Tyler finished with 7 point and 7 rebounds but was on the bench for most of the last 5 minutes when they were trying to come back from a ~10 point deficit.
 
Andre Weir with 12 points and 5 rebounds. FGCU cut the lead to 5 with 3 minutes left but ended up losing by 12 to Pittsburgh.
 
Much better game for Tyler and Nova last night in what turned into an easy win over Maryland. Around the 17 minute mark in the 2nd half, he and Maryland both had 15 points.

JayNel is now dealing with his own wrist injury and is not playing today for VCU against Penn State.

Randolph got his first start for St. Peter's in their most recent game against UMass Lowell, while Wilson (presumably injured) and Dread have yet to play in a game this season. Weir continues to come off the bench for FGCU, getting around 10-15 minutes per game.

Finally found reference to why Andre Weir hadn't played for the last 3 or 4 games for FGCU - torn labrum it would seem and out for the year .. feel bad for him.

Quick check in on former Spiders a few games into conference play:

Tyler Burton - 8.7 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 1.0 APG on 35.3% FG/ 28.6% 3PT/ 72.7% FT shooting splits. Started all 17 games for Villanova.

Jason Nelson - 6.9 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 2.2 APG on 44.4% FG/ 38.6% 3PT / 75% FT shooting splits. Has played in 14 games off the bench, averaging 16.4 MPG in conference play for VCU.

Marcus Randolph - 4.7 PPG, 1.3 RPG, 1.0 APG on 27.6% FG/ 26.5% 3PT/ 80% FT shooting splits. Started 6 straight games to en their nonconference play, but has returned to the bench and has played 0, 6, and 9 minutes in St. Peter's three conference games.

Malcolm Dread - Has played in two games all season, getting 2 minutes vs. Siena and 3 minutes vs. LIU.

Weir and Wilson are both presumably out for the rest of the season with their injuries.
 
Randolph is back in the starting lineup at St. Peter's and has had games of 19 and 15 points in the past three. And he's 11-of-19 from deep over that stretch.

Definitely been up and down this season. Earned his way into the starting lineup around Thanksgiving but struggled and got demoted back to the bench after half a dozen games. In his second starting stint now and showing more this time.
 
Jarin Stevenson appears to have gotten his first start for Bama last night - Only 17 minutes and 0 points however. Not sure if he started due to an injury of a normal starter.
