  Brandeis winter schedule and policy updates, February 7

The first home contest to be played under this updated spectator policy will be Brandeis men's basketball hosting Connecticut College tomorrow evening.

I just got a personal welcome from Coach Flocerzki Flockerzi of Rochester, thanking me for coming as well. 

Legendary! And this was probably a typo, but I can never remember how to spell or pronounce his name.

Tonight, the UAA weekend will come to a close 1 day later than expected, as the doubleheader with Carnegie Mellon at Wash U originally scheduled for a few nights ago will be played this evening.  It was postponed from Friday due to a winter storm that hit both Pittsburgh and St. Louis a day before the originally scheduled games that prevented Carnegie Mellon from travelling to St. Louis last Thursday.  Men will tip at 5:30 PM Central/6:30 PM Eastern from the Edwards Fahey Court at the Wash U Field House in St. Louis.

Wash U played yesterday's game vs CWRU without 2 of their usual starters due to injuries-- Kevin Davet and Jack Nolan. 

Also tonight, NYU will play their final non-conference game of the season at Moravian.  It is a makeup game from a contest that was originally going to played on January 3 as the second game of the Steel Club Classic.  NYU will attempt to finish their non-conference season at 10-1 in non-conference play (10-9 overall) and snap an 8 game losing streak that started when UAA play began.

Moravian enters tonight's contest with NYU at 9-11 overall and 4-6 in Landmark Conference play.  The NYU at Moravian game can be seen on the Landmark Digital Network with tip at 7 PM Eastern and coverage starting approx 6:50 PM Eastern.

Wash U team news--

Kevin Davet and Jack Nolan will not be playing tonight due to injuries.   Jack Nolan will be out for a while due to a foot injury that he sustained on the Carnegie Mellon/Case Western Reserve road trip.

According to Jay Murry's commentary, Kevin Davet may be available for next weekend's home games vs Emory and Rochester.

It was a great inbounds play. Wash U really opened up the middle, selling out to the 3-pt shot. It was a contested layup, but really should've finished it. Sad to see Nolan rolling around on one of those carts.

Week 1 Regional rankings are out-- In the first week, the teams are listed in alphabetical order, since results vs RRO cannot be used to compile rankings this week.  However, numbers were placed beside each team indicating the position in alphabetical order that they were listed, which will confuse fans who do not know that the rankings were being released in alphabetical order for this week into thinking that the first team listed alphabetically in each region is the #1 ranked team in that region, which is not the case-- there is no numerical order this week.

The following 4 UAA men's basketball teams made the list for D3 ranked teams by the NCAA DIII Men's Basketball National Committee this week:

Rochester-- Region III.

Emory-- Region VI

Case Western Reserve-- Region VII.

Wash U-- Region VIII.

Data sheets have not been posted yet.
