MBB: American Rivers Conference

[Purple Heys]

I gotta give Cornell's Men's team some run here...but don't expect too much of me over here (no direct personal investment).

The Rams are 5-1 with an IIAC opening win over the Storm.

Tied for 1st in winning percentage, though a half game back in the win column.

Go Rams!

Well, I am aware that you have a direct personal investment in a 6'6'' student that isn't a half bad athlete.  Maybe you could fire off an email to the basketball coach and tell him that for a little bigger finantial aid package towards this personal investment of yours, this kid would be happy to be the 12th man on the Cornell basketball team.  THEN we could expect to see a little more of you over on this board!

A couple of changes for the Knights.

Josh Molestead + Fred Rose are no longer listed on the roster.

I sometimes wonder about UD's non-conference schedule.  It seems they play a lot of "easy wins" and that doesn't help when conference play gets underway.  We'll see if last year was an exception to that ... or if it was the beginning of better days for UD basketball.

Central went back to inconsistent play.  They went ice cold to start the second half and stayed that way for probably the first half of it.  Frustrating to watch, probably worse to play.

Should get a good test tomorrow when they cross the river to play UW-Platteville tomorrow at 1:00.  I'm looking forward to this game to see how much improved UD is and also see how the Pioneers come out after a week of finals.

Hopefully some of you will be able to make the short trip up and catch the game.

I loved making that trip way back when I was at Dubuque.  Of course those were the Bo Ryan days at UW-Platteville so even with a pretty good UD team we still lost most games by about 20 points.  We usually kept it under 10 points when the game was at Dubuque.
