Saturday 12/19 7:00 St. Francis PA

[UAalum72]

Time to move on.

 

Frankies beat Binghamton today 67-61.

 

They've lost to a lot of tough teams, but they're also Maryland -Eastern Shore's only win. In fact Bing may be their best win RPI-wise, others were American and Lehigh

[UA'08]

Another revenge game.

Any word on if the bigs will be available?

They were supposed to be reevaluated Tues. Even if healthy, they'd just be starting to practice after a 10-day layoff by next weekend.

Hopefully we'll have the Chipolte 2 back for this game in some capacity.

Both have started practicing over the last two days in limited fashion I believe. They will probably be available.

St. Francis won't be a push over. They've had some bad performances..losing by thirteen to Maryland Eastern Shore..but have also played well..losing by just two to 9-2 Duquesne. Pomeroy has them ranked #247..which would put them right in line with UNH as the fourth highest rated team in our conference.

 

Hopefully the team bounces back strong after a long road trip and last week's loss. Will be nice to hopefully have Peters and Charles back in some capacity.

This is the problem with the league. Calling a ken pom 247th ranked team makes them a non pushover because they are similar to the fourth best teambin out league is a problem. I one day want it to be a given we smash a 247th ranked team.

Their past performance this season is the main reason why I don't think they should be a push-over..though we are clearly the favorites. I offered the pomeroy rating simply for comparison purposes within the conference.

 

But yes..the bottom of the conference has been pretty bad recently..and again has been so far this season. Interestingly enough..the very top of both the AE and the CAA are strikingly similar so far this season: Stony Brook - 79, UAlbany - 92..William & Mary - 77, Northeastern - 89. It's everything below that makes up the difference.

Kenpom is a very good. You also forgot Hofstra 103, James Madison 116, uncw 135, coc 156, Towson 179 and deleware 199.

 

That's 8 schools in the top 200. 5 in the top 150.

Hopefully it's better than the TU.

[UAalum72]

Peters and Charles both will play. Peters lost 8-10 pounds last week.

 

McKinley and Reece Williams now officially redshirting.

That confirms the point I made. The top two are nearly identical..it's everything below that makes the difference between the AE and CAA.
