La Salle plays Canadian national champion Carleton on Friday night. Carleton beat Buffalo and Northeastern and lost by 4 to UNLV during late summer tours to Canada by those teams. Carleton will play at Villanova tomorrow night.

DukesDan

Duquesne beat CMU 74-48

Andre Marhold had a nice night.

Presser

Ferry rips some players, talks about a few good things, but mainly talks about areas that need improvement big time.

States his lineups could be mixed and matched into February.

Also speaks about Sandy.

Best Lines: " I don't think anybody played well" "They looked like they were dribbling footballs"

I like his demeanor and straightforwardness. Didn't always get that before.

Charlotte played Pfeiffer (DII) tonight. We won 95-51. Our top two scorers from last year sat out with injuries.

The new guys showed some nice flashes of ability, but it is difficult to judge against this kind of competition.

VCU beat Virginia Union 94-44 tonight. It was 94-32 with 3:24 to go and VUU went on a 12-0 run to close the game. No Ram played more than 20 minutes and every player scored.

Like others have said, playing against D2 competition it's really tough to draw anything from the performance, but we looked good tonight.

87 of Charlotte's 95 points came from either Freshmen or Sophomore's. Mayfield, Braswell and JT Thompson (Va Tech transfer) all sat. Mayfield is nursing a high ankle sprain, Braswell (foot) & Thompson (knees) were held out for precautionary reasons.

Are the Niners expecting all to be healthy for the real opener?

rworkman09

Braswell broke a foot over the summer. He's fine, he was just held out as a precaution. No need to lose the guy in a meaningless game.

Thompson I think was held out for the same reason. He's had two ACL tears in the last two years. We haven't heard that he's reinjured himself, so we think it was just a precautionary thing.

Mayfield has a high ankle sprain. He may be back for the opener, but if I were placing bets, I would put my money on him not playing until the Alaska tournament.

Ferry is right, there are plenty of areas for improvement. I echo the sentiments of CLK and VBC on the Duquesne yuku board that this will be a long, frustrating season for the Dukes unless we improve a lot over the course of the season.

Rockhurst @ SLU Saturday.

moss2k

Mayfield will definitely be out for the opener with his high ankle sprain. Next thing to find out, if anyone will be suspended for the opener.

Conger did that in only 25 minutes. Ndoye with 14 points in 21 minutes, and a few new post moves, including an NBA reverse dunk and 1. Looking good.
