I'll post anything I see, but I am guessing that if they were not running the live stats, they will not publish a box score.

Here is the update from Emory social media:

Behind 28 points from Romin Williams, the Emory men's basketball team posted a 92-88 Sunday evening exhibition win at the University of North Georgia. Sophomore Lawrence Rowley added 22 points while classmate Matt Schner chipped in 17 points.

Williams finished the evening 10-of-18 from the field, including six-of-10 from three-point range while Schner was six-of-10 from the floor, four-of-eight from distance.

This sophomore class is going to be special.

Wow... what a night for a sophomore class against a D2 opponent! Will be fun to see how they mature, could end up being a group like the seniors at WashU last year.

Figured we could try and promote some of the hard work our columnists, like Ryan Scott, do on a weekly basis... so here it goes:

Around the Nation: Facing a new challenge

The 2018-19 season brings new challenges for coaches across Division III. For Pat Juckem, it's leaving a national finalist to follow a legendary coach at Wash U. For his replacement, it's keeping the Oshkosh momentum going. And for Bob Amsberry, it's replacing the best class in Wartburg women's basketball history.

Pretty impressive stat line out of that Emory sophomore class..

Also worth noting Brandeis took an exhibition loss to St. Joseph's (CT) (who is coached by former UCONN legend Jim Calhoun) by a final score of 76-63. Sophomore Chandler Jones scored 17 points on 6-9 shooting (2-2 from three). Cory Sherman scored 15 on 5-17 shooting.

Didn't Coach Juckem (albeit with UW-Oshkosh) just drill Emory in the NCAA tournament in the Round of 16?  Seems he might have a pretty good idea on how to attack them.

Yes. OshKosh defeated Emory in the sweet sixteen by a final score of 93-72. After a year where Emory was swept in both games against WashU by scores of 84-67 and 82-69.

Now pair Juckem with WashU? I imagine this Emory team & Coach Zimmerman have their return to St. Louis in January marked on the calendar..

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

All due respect to what Coach Juckem and UW-Oshkosh ... but that was with the talent UWO had. I'd argue, with now a completely different WashU unit ... you can't just assume Juckem can have the same results against Emory. He has a completely different set of players, skill sets, etc.

By that reasoning, shouldn't Illinois women's basketball be a Top 10 program? Ok... that's an extreme example, but I enjoyed it.

You are right d-mac, he may beat them by even more.  ;-)

[WUPHF]

Emory loses a lot too so you have to take it on faith that they are going to be as good or better next season.

Losses include (arguably) the best point guard in Emory history, the D3Hoops pre-season all-American, two very tall, very capable bigs...

[WUPHF]

Also, I guess I can finally stop saying next season.

You've got a little more than a day to keep saying it, technically.

[WUPHF]

Yes!  Thanks by the way for posting the Ryan Scott article and for the Hoopsville interview.

We've got a fun first weekend of non-conference games coming up to start the season. Here are each of the UAA team's first game:

Fri. 11/9
NYU @ Purchase State (7:00pm)
Case Western vs. Albion (7:00pm)

Sat. 11/10
Brandeis vs. Mass. Dartmouth (1:00pm)
WashU vs. Illinois Col. (8:00pm)

Sun. 11/11
Chicago @ Illinois Wesleyan (5:00pm)
Emory @ Piedmont (7:00pm)

Tue. 11/13
Rochester @ RIT (7:00pm)
Carnegie Mellon @ Chatham (8:00pm)

I'm certainly excited to check all of these games out. Most notably I think Chicago's road match up at Illinois Wesleyan, a traditionally strong program out of the CCIW, will be great challenge for them off the bat. I'm also looking forward to seeing Juckem's brand new version of WashU basketball.

Any thoughts on weekend#1? Match ups catching anyone's eye?
