The game wasn't even a 21 point one, as we had a 29 point lead before we cleared the bench with about 5 minutes left. Lamar is a bad team, and will be an rpi anchor this year. Unlike the team from last year, they are young and turn the ball over all the time, while having no 3pt game (I think they shot 0% from the 3pt line tonight). The frosh again played well, especially Ingram. Mayfield looked solid in his first game, sees the floor very well, strong around the rim.

Temple 3/24 from the 3 point line... Yikes.

In my humble opinion, Rhode Island has turned in the most impressive performance of the night so far:


A loss is always disappointing, but if the Rams can play this well against Ohio State, they are going to score some upset wins this season.

Best of luck to Coach Dan Hurley and his Rams this season!

Got to agree on this one. My expectations were extremely low, but URI hung around against one of the more athletic teams in the country. It's encouraging to say the least.

77-63 Temple defeats Rice. Not the prettiest win but it's 2-0.

Niners only gave up 19 FGs (on 61 FGA) this game. Lamar is a young team, but 90% of their shots were strongly contested tonight. A lot of that poor shooting had to do with an aggressive and competent Niner defense.

36-32 Florida St leads St. Joes at the half.

Seemed like the refs had it in for Kanecevic. Tough, physical battle down low all night, and he gets foul #4 on a total touch flop by the FSU player (who I wasn't even sure was set) and foul #5 on a borderline call on a rebound. Not that he was playing all that well anyway, but his passing might've helped make FSU pay for all that pressure man D.

Thought SJU played pretty well, but needed to figure out how to deal with those alley oops. Tough when FSU is so athletic.

I thought St. Joseph's looked the part as far as their preseason pick as favorites in the A-10. Very talented and impressive all-around.

The weird thing is, looking at the box score, it looks like we played a lot better than it seemed.

Rahlir: 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals
Anthony Lee: 16 points, 13 rebounds
Scootie: 16 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists
Khalif: 17 points, 6 assists, 2 steals

The bench really struggled though.

We did not shoot well, but I think we did pretty much everything else well.

Offensive rebounding: +13
Rebounding: +14
Assists: +10
Turnovers: +5

That's what I would expect from a Fran Dunphy team. Off night shooting, but still executing the fundamentals.
