sorry if this gets a laugh, but could you explains those rankings ??

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Massey's a computer poll that ranks all basketball teams in the country.  It uses a lot of information on schedule strength and stuff so its not exactly reliable until near the end of the season, but its a decent indicator.

I just wanted to write and let people know that I am in Rochester for tonight's Brandeis at Rochester matchup(s).  I will be very interested in meeting up with Pat Coleman if he does come to the Palestra tonight-- I always enjoy his candid analysis of D3 hoops.

From what I heard on the NBC10 News out of Rochester last night, Rochester head coach Mike Neer will be going for his 500th career victory today.  I hope that Coach Neer does get his 500th victory this weekend, but I prefer that he get it on Sunday against NYU.   

For me, my pregame meal with be at Arby's at Midtown Plaza (in downtown Rochester), with a Zweigle's hot dog thrown into the mix.

Unfortunately, I just can't make it. This is my only day off this week and I can't spend 12 hours in a car.

Going to Union to see Bates play Elms instead. Less than half the distance.

Alan, quick question, i went to the site of the radio station in rochester, and saw the lineup of UR v Deis from 6-10 but where on the site can you get the live feed

Heading down to Hyde Park tomorrow to see Chicago battle Wash U.  It will be interesting to see how the men's and (unbeaten!) women's teams respond to the invasion of the arch-rival Bears.

I will try to post my thoughts on the games later this weekend, Go Maroons.

Pat--

Thanks for answering Ilive4this's question.  I was going downtown for my pre-game meal when he posted, and just got back to the Rochester campus around 3:45 PM.

To others--

I will probably post my comments on both Brandeis games tonight on the respective UAA forums tomorrow when I get back to Boston.  I will not be heading on to Pittsburgh for the Sunday games this time, as I headed to Rochester on my own money, and I want to see the Bowdoin women take on Emmanuel tommorrow.  I will be on the first Airtran flight out tomorrow to make it to Boston in time for the 1 PM tip.  I will be following the action on the computer on Sunday.

At the half -

Rochester 49 Brandeis 21
CMU 40  NYU 30

[ILive4This]

So this game, is for lack of a better term, pathetic for Brandeis, with one exception Kenny Small, some nice steals and a career high in points. I do not understand why steve de luca was on the bench for so much of the game, he was not in foul trouble, same with kwame and florian. Nothing is really making sense. furthermore, fouling out only a few minutes into the second half is simply unacceptable, something needs to happen and soon, because CMU is playing well against the violets.

Final Scores -

Rochester 83  Brandeis 65
CMU 68  NYU 64

Looks like playing cupcakes for 2 months doesnt help your ball handling.  NYU had 17 turnovers to CMUs 9.  Good win for the Tartans.

Two upsets in the UAA tonight, as mentioned earlier, RU also had its way with Brandeis.  Looks like the league is alot more even than everyone thought. CMU was picked to finish seventh in the league and NYU was picked to finish first in the preseason.

[Rhodes Scholar]

The key to NYU's season will be the point guard position. Everyone from last year's team is back except for Jared Kildare. Freshman Matthew Wilson and Charlie Parker will have to fill his shoes. This won't be easy, but if they struggle, the Violets will be in trouble. NYU's other weak spot is their bench, which is not particularly deep.

The UAA is an outstanding league with a great deal of parity. If last night was any indication, it looks like there will be a lot of internal bloodletting once again, with very few "safe" games. I don't see any team pulling away and every team losing their fair share of games. With the exception of Case (who may very well pull off an upset or two), it appears that all of the other teams are capable of beating one another, especially at home.

Saturday Final

Emory 76 at Case 67
