CLU's roster has now been posted ===> http://www.clusports.com/mens_basketball/roster/

5 Frosh coming in with 4 transfers. One interesting transfer is Arik Smith from UW-River Falls. Led them last year in scoring at 14.3 ppg and assists 2.2 apg, and pulled in 3.4 rbg.

The most notable thing on the roster is Dan Wade is not on it. Second leading scorer on the team leaving is not a great start to the year but doesn't surprise me. Other guys that are not around are Tyler Nunn, Corey Lewis and Andrew Atakpo - but none of these had the impact that Wade did in his short time. Anybody have any ideas about where Wade went and/or if he is just not playing?

CMS roster posted. http://cmsathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2013-14/roster

I guess Chris Rama is studying abroad. Will miss his presence inside.

Recently defeated St. Katherine's College (NAIA school in San Diego) by double digits. Nick Dragovich, Zavrsnick, Hamasaki all scored in double figures. Face UC Irvine this Saturday at the Bren Center. It's truly "David vs Goliath" as UCI will have three 7 footers and Chapman tallest starter is 6'6. Hopefully a playoff berth this season after just missing in their first year in SCIAC play.

I suggest using the SCIAC thread, probably get more conversation going there.

Welcome. Glad to have a lover to calm down this crowd.

Welcome! We look forward to your contributions about Chapman, even if CU is not in the SCIAC.

The Cal Lu season preview is up http://www.clusports.com/news/10064

"The Kingsmen will also look for a big contribution from transfer guard Arik Smith. The junior by way of University of Wisconsin-River Falls played in 19 games last season for the Falcons, sinking six three pointers and averaging 1.9 points per game."

While I'm all for a good sandbagging, Smith played in 25 games last year, knocked down 46 threes, and averaged 14.3 ppg. I believe the stats they cited were from 2 years ago.

Speaking of newcomers, Chapman's John Joyce looks intriguing. 6-8 250. 16 pts last night at UCI.

Hoops_lover · November 03, 2013, 03:01:59 PM

Yes, Joyce played very well. He battled all game vs. UCI's extremely tall front line. Much improved ball game for Joyce because he did not do well in the St. Katherine's scrimmage. Tyler Fidelibus also played well giving Panthers more solid post play. Justin Young sat out the game with an injured ankle and he's a starter. Zavrsnick shot well and Jordan Young played better.

"........Redlands should be reloading"

Without POY Brensdal and the leadership of Tristan Kirk, I reckon it's improbable that UR will have sufficient depth for another redoubtable effort this season.

Possible rebounding assistance has arrived with 6-8 soph transfer from Hawaii Pacific, Kyle Milligan, who's joined by (apparently) his brother Sean, a 6-2 frosh guard.

Jim Ducey now has 3 young Ducey's among the 5 Asst. Coaches. Brensdal and Kent Irvin, captain of the Bulldogs' 2011 SCIAC champs, are his other assistants.

Hemingway13 · November 04, 2013, 04:37:51 AM

Another transfer adding possible bench strength for UR is 6-5 soph Aljosa Bjekovic. He hails from Maribor, Slovenia and collected 11 rebounds against Cal State Fullerton on the weekend.

Caltech had it's first shot at a scrimmage last night...here's a game report and box score http://www.vanguardlions.com/article/4754.php

Did not go, but it looks like Vanguard pressed them...as 7 of the 10 players who got meaningful minutes were freshman, not too surprising that a lot of turnovers were committed.

Lawrence Lee and KC Emezie were bright spots in the box score...they are players to watch this year.

In other news, La Verne went to Utah: http://www.leopardathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2013-14/releases/20131104mnjrpj

Nov. 2: Cal State Bakersfield 104, Oxy 63

Oxy played an exhibition game against D-I Cal State Bakersfield. The Tigers hung in there for awhile and only trailed 18-17 at 9:20, but the Roadrunners went on a 15-3 run to lead 33-20, and that was that. CSUB scored 72 points inside and was just too big and too fast for Oxy.

For Oxy, Spencer Levy, a junior transfer from Moorpark College, scored 21, Juwan Rice had 12, Kory Hamane, a sophmore transfer from Puget Sound, scored 11, and Kris Montoya had 10.

Oxy next takes on D3hoops preseason No. 15 St. Thomas at home on Nov. 16. Sorry I am going to miss that one. UST is always outstanding.
