The way Hunter's been playing this season, I think 130 is the floor for NYU. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit 150.

[WUPHF]

Regardless of the score, Hunter is 1-7 and rated 413 out of 418 programs according to Massey so yeah...

Lakeland best Greenville 155-127 recently. Greenville has given up 200 in the recent past. Hunter isn't giving up nearly what Greenville does though. I could see 150.

No, but they're only effective on defense about 1 out of 4 games this year and NYU is considerably better than their other opponents.

Another year, another dubious award for the Fighting Violets as the Cupcake Eating Contest champions of D3.

CWRU may be giving them a run for that title.

No CWRU OOC opponent has a winning record. Denison is 5-5. Many teams they have played have only 1 or 2 wins.

Just giving the heads up--

Last night's Brandeis vs Babson home basketball game was Jonah White's last game as the regular PBP commentator for Brandeis Athletics, as he will be studying abroad for the spring semester and is scheduled to graduate in May.  Jonah White made the announcement on the webcast with less than 3 minutes to go in regulation.

Joshua Hertz, who served as color analyst for last night's basketball game with Jonah White, is taking over the PBP duties for the rest of the academic year, including all of Brandeis's home UAA men's and women's basketball games.  Mr. Hertz is scheduled to start calling PBP for the NYU at Brandeis basketball doubleheader on January 7, 2023, and will continue PBP duties for Brandeis baseball and softball home games in the spring.

Joshua Hertz started PBP commentary for Brandeis last March, and has done baseball, softball and soccer contests for Brandeis already.

Thanks, Jonah White, for your years of service, and I will be looking forward to see how Josh Hertz does the PBP starting in January.  Based on Josh's color analysis last night, I think that he will do a decent job in the PBP role.

In addition to his undergraduate studies and his PBP and color analysis for Brandeis Athletics, Joshua Hertz is also currently serving as the general manager for the Brandeis student radio station, WBRS 100.1 FM.   He is a junior currently majoring in HSSP (BS) with a minor in Legal Studies.  Before becoming general manager, Mr. Hertz also served as the sports director for WBRS FM.

Any word on how much longer Prendergast is supposed to be out?

[WUPHF]

It looks like Ryan Algier did not play in the 91-80 win over Wooster.  Gang and Masino picked up the slack with each scoring 21.

[ADL70]

Any word on how much longer Prendergast is supposed to be out?

The word at the start of the season was that he would be out five weeks. I have not heard any update. Maybe Sun Dec 18 vs Earlham.

Bryce Hopkins is back for 6-3 Chicago and has played two games as a starter. 

That is big news for Chicago fans as he is an all-UAA caliber player.  Just in time for games against IWU and Babson and the start of UAA play.

In other UChicago news--

On Thursday, UChicago announced that due to complications that arose from hip surgery that he underwent this past April, Mike McGrath is temporarily stepping away from head coaching duties for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.  Coach McGrath is expected to resume his duties next season as head coach of the Maroons once he makes a complete recovery.

In the meantime, Bryan Joel will be the interim head coach of the UChicago Maroons.  Coach Joel's first game as head coach of the Maroons will be on Tuesday, Dec. 20 vs Illinois Wesleyan, and he will be coaching the Maroons through this season's UAA schedule.

The word at the start of the season was that he would be out five weeks. I have not heard any update. Maybe Sun Dec 18 vs Earlham.
