Also interesting, I noticed that CMU already has the new Men's 3-point line painted on their court for next season. Honestly it just looks silly, most courts are going to look pretty funny starting next year.

Scary moment for the Judges only  a minute into the game as Sr captain Center Stephen Hill hit the floor hard, but he is up and back in the game now as the Judges lead 11-4 5 minutes into the game

#2 Brandeis 35, #24 CMU 20 at Halftime,

Shooting: Brandeis 55%, CMU 28%
3pt: 20%, 0% (0-7)
Boards: 19, 17
Turnovers: 4, 6

I think that is all relevant stats, neither team is turning the ball over too much, the difference is CMU is really having to work for their shots, and they are forcing the ball a little more than the Judges.

#1 Rochester seems to be having an easy outing tonight, up 40-23 against the visiting Violets of NYU

Kudos to CMU for putting the game up on video! Brandeis wins 60-48.

Hey, 'Deis, how about some video for our home games?

As of this morning, the top 3 schools in the country by the RPI measure are: Rochester, WashU, and Brandeis. The conference also has the highest average RPI in the country.

The RPI combines winning percentage and strength of schedule and is a proxy for the rating used to choose and seed teams in the NCAA tournament.

Here are all the UAA scores this year (home team in bold):

12/1
Rochester 64, CMU 50

1/12
Brandeis 66, NYU 56
Emory 99, Case 92
Wash U 76, Chicago 50

1/18
Brandeis 60, CMU 48
Chicago 76, Case 65
Rochester 70, NYU 54
Wash U 85, Emory 63

UAA Standings
Brandeis 2-0
Rochester 2-0
Wash U 2-0
Chicago 1-1
Emory 1-1
Case 0-2
CMU 0-2
NYU 0-2

Some stats:

The favorite has won every game. The home team has won six of eight games. Only one single-digit victory.

[Hoop Dreams]

So Brandeis is 2-0 on the road, while the rest of the conference is 0-6.  Have to hand it to the Judges.  If they can win at the Palestra tomorrow, they will be in very good position.

It appears we're looking at a three-way race for the UAA title. I think what it will come down to is which one of the big three can steal a game at the other's house. It also will come to how many games Carnegie can steal from the big three. But by and large, Wash.U., Rochester and Deis will be very tough to beat at home. Including last season's 2 playoff games, Wash.U. has won 25 straight at home and I know Deis and Roch are tough at home as well. But Case, Chicago and Emory are all pretty down this year and I don't think any of the big 3 will have trouble on the road at those places. I haven't seen NYU yet, but they could pose some trouble. By the end of 7 league games, I think we'll be able to definitively determine the trajectory of this race.
