Wesleyan played ODU tough for a half in an exhibition.  Moore was fantastic in the first half.  In the 2nd half, ODU used their size and athleticism to outscore the Marlins by about 30.

ODU is very good.  They are likely a tournament team this year, and may spend some time in the Top 25.

Biberaj is a decent role player for them.  He was probably the biggest reason why they beat LSU last year.  He'll see some playing time in every game for them. 

Interestingly, I thought another D3 transfer who walked on to ODU, Stephen Vassor from Hampden-Sydney, was a bigger surprise.  I don't think he got much playing time at HSC his freshman year, but he looks like he has a D1 body, and has incredible athleticism.

In other D3 news, VWC's Dave Macedo was also at the game, with a couple of his little ones in tow.  His team is going to be loaded this year.

For the CNU fans, here is a follow-up to a great kid who left CNU to chase a dream, Nik Biberaj: http://hamptonroads.com/2014/12/odu-division-iii-transfer-nik-biberaj-living-his-dream

Yes nik Biberaj is transferring to Old Dominion. Heard he was asked to be a preferred walk-on for the monarchs. Not sure why akid would leave a school where he is the star to go sit on the bench for 2 years but hey some kids just want to say they played division 1

I know this is an old post, but here is a follow-up on a kid following his dream: http://hamptonroads.com/2014/12/odu-division-iii-transfer-nik-biberaj-living-his-dream

Don't be surprised to see Mumme become the OC at FCS James Madison.

What happened in Elmira tonight? That was unexpected.

The Head Coach of William and Mary is Tony Shaver, former head man at Hampden-Sydney.

If I was the Faith coach, I would have pulled a Jimmy Patsos and completely double-teamed Taylor, once I recognized what was happening.  If you remember a few years ago, Patsos had two of his Loyola players completely drape Steph Curry to prevent him from getting the ball.  Loyola got blown out playing 3 on 4, but Patsos held Curry scoreless.

Macon beats Mason 73-72.
