Well after years of Being a Division III - ite, I am taking grad classes at a Division II school (Nova Southeastern University)!

No Football, but they do have basketball, and will be playing a D-3 school this year here in Florida. They play Lawrence of Wisconsin (Who I think I remember was pretty good 2 years ago) on December 17th .

What style does Lawrence play? I see that they are in the same conference as Grinell..

Lawrence doesn't play a style that's anything like Grinnell's unorthodox style, if that's what you're asking. Lawrence has a new head coach this year, so it remains to be seen what sort of offense he's going to institute. But don't hold your breath that it's going to be the uptempo, mass-substitution "mice tumbling out of a shoebox" mode preferred by Grinnell coach Dave Arseneault.

So when did they go back to being Detroit Mercy? I know the school has been Detroit Mercy, but they were just known as the U. of Detroit in NCAA-land, except for a while when they tried to get Detroit Mercy to catch on. It sounds like a hospital, not a university!

PS - They have a fencing team!

It's the product of a merger (annexation?) of U of D and Mercy College (a Catholic women's college that was facing tough economic times). Formally, it is UDM; many people still refer to it just as Detroit.

Nebraska Wesleyan played the University of Nebraska to a 30-30 halftime tie at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on Friday night. However, the Huskers took control in the second half and won 70-50 in the first varsity men's basketball meeting between the two schools since 1923. The Prairie Wolves were led by sophomore Ryan Thramer, who had a double-double, with 14 points and 10 rebounds

In case anyone missed it in "Notables," Rhode Island College nipped D1 Holy Cross 61-60 in an exhibition Thursday. Story link.

I know this is a DIII site, but it's pretty interesting to note that in an exhibition game last night, DII Grand Valley beat DI Michigan State (preseason #8) in double overtime

Albion 48
UDM (U Detroit-Mercy) 57

Albion played UDM close. Hope will travel to play UDM on Tuesday night and consider Albion kept it close I think Hope should be able to give UDM a run.

Sticking to Michigan college basketball the fact Grand Valley beat Michigan State last night really is incredible. What's with Michigan universities losing to lower tier teams? Can you say App. State?!?

Wow, I missed that about RIC. Either Holy Cross used it as an exhibition and played everyone a bit (they used 11 players and except for their point guard no one logged a lot of minutes), they took RIC too lightly, or HC isn't that good (and RIC IS good, we know that).

Last year, Iona went 2-28 in the regular season - only beating Rider and Delaware. Jeff Ruland lost his job over that season, which was surprising since he was an Iona grad and led them to the NCAA the year before. I bet that doesn't happen to Holy Cross.
