NYU men's basketball have rescheduled its 2 non-conference games that they had to cancel or postpone due to the NYU Athletics suspension that lasted from December 15, 2021 to January 3, 2022.

To recap, NYU teams were allowed to return to competition on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 after being banned for a few weeks from practicing or competiting due to the NYU Athletics suspension caused by the rise of COVID-19 cases on the NYU campus.

Both make-up games will be played on the road, and they are make-up games for the cancellation of NYU's participation in Moravian's January 2 and 3 Steel Club Classic.

One make-up game is scheduled for this week:

Wednesday, January 12, 2022-- NYU at Misericordia-- 6 PM Eastern

The other make-up game is scheduled for next month:

Monday, February 7, 2022-- NYU at Moravian-- 7 PM Eastern

La Roche outscoring Carnegie Mellon, 7-2, over the first 2 minutes of the second half, as the pace is picking up.  CMU lead in single digits.

[deiscanton]

According to commentary, Nick Nakasian of Carnegie Mellon just made a dunk with authority on it.

[deiscanton]

The game in November was being played on a pace that La Roche liked.  Tonight, Carnegie Mellon is dictating the pace of this rematch and it is much more of a slow-down game that the Tartans prefer.

Commentators just reminding the audience that Skibo Gym is under renovation and that Wiegand Gym is more of a practice court than a competition court-- therefore, visiting teams will get confused with the lines on the court.

[deiscanton]

Carnegie Mellon leading 63-47 over La Roche with 9:37 left in regulation.

Carnegie Mellon leading on points in the paint, 48-22.

[deiscanton]

I am just glad that the officials can review plays on the monitor at Wiegand Gym.  The UAA wants as many teams as possible in the Association to have this capability at all games.

[deiscanton]

Wiegand Gym commentators-- you just blew it by not reviewing the updated schedule.

Next up is not Carnegie Mellon at Brandeis-- at least not on the men's side-- we only have the women playing on Friday.

Next up is Carnegie Mellon at NYU.
