NYU is now in the building. They arrived at 4:26 remaining in the 2nd quarter of the PMC women's game.

Fitchburg leads that one at halftime 38-30 over the Pine Manor women.

Shot clock at one of the ends is faulty. Goes in and out. The shot clock at the scoreboard end works fine.

Warmups now underway with a start time of 6:10 PM between NYU and Pine Manor. Fitchburg won the women's part of the doubleheader 68-54.

NYU leading 43-23 at halftime. Ethan Feldman returned to the starting lineup after sitting out a game. Action very quickly paced. NYU seems to be playing with a full rotation. I talked to the father of NYU basketball alum Patrick Burns. (Class of 2016) Any NYU fans at the game are from the Boston area-- it does not look like there are fans who made the trip up from New York for the game.

PS-- Ethan Feldman made a great lay up to close out the half.

Final NYU 81 Pine Manor 50

No injuries in this one.

I am now back from the game.

In checking out the final box score, Dom Cristiano did not play tonight for NYU. I do not know about his status for UAA play, but I will not be surprised if he is not at 100 percent on Saturday, given his limited minutes this season.

Both. 😁 Bobby Hawkinson did play "King of Swat" in the second half by inadvertently swatting a ball into the Pine Manor bleachers, but I was already out of those by halftime after seeing the Pine Manor students on top of me in the first half. 😊

Sounds dangerous. Glad you escaped unscathed.

Thanks.

Only 8 rows of bleachers at Brunelli-- 2 sections. Each section seats 80 at themax, but realistically gets crowded at 50 people in the section. If there aren100 people sitting in the bleachers, the remaining fans realistically have to stand. Pine Manor has approx 450 students, but I am not sure how they could all fit into Brunelli Court if they all decided to watch the basketball game.

Brandeis at NYU is underway.

One change for Brandeis as Sam Nassar (#20) starts in place of Lawrence Sabir (#2)

No changes in NYU's starting lineup from the previous game.

I am watching the live video stream.

Brandeis up 46-36 at halftime. Judges led 44-25 before a late NYU 11-0 run was answered by a successful last second shot by Brandeis.

Players not playing in first half-- probably DNP for game

Lawrence Sabir-- Brandeis
Dom Cristiano -- NYU

Washington University trails Chicago at the half, 36-25.

The Bears are again without Hunter and Nester and the latter may not be back soon.

A very good defensive game with the difference coming from perimeter shooting.

Brandeis hangs on for the win, 76-71. NYU rallied back from a 19 point deficit to get within a single possession, but could not get closer.

Brandeis was raining 3s in the first half, but the 3s dried up in the second, allowing NYU to rally.

Going into the game, I thought that the Brandeis X factor would be Collin Sawyer, who was banged up a little in the Bates game. Fortunately, Collin Sawyer was able to play, but I was surprised by Lawrence Sabir's absence, as he is a key defender for the Judges.

Oh well, first win is in the books. Brandeis home weekend next Friday and Sunday vs Rochester and Emory.

Update-- I am listening to the WYSL radio call of the second half of the Rochester at Emory men's game before I catch on demand replays of today's Chicago at Wash U doubleheader.

deiscanton · January 11, 2020, 05:38:26 PM

Final--

Emory 75, Rochester 57

Rochester's lack of experience did the Jackets in. Rochester had a rally early in the second half to get within a possession, but Emory responded right back. 32-67 from the FT line for Rochester in the past 4 games according to the radio call.

Bears stave off the Chicago upset bid, 66-65
