Play temporarily stopped early in the second half in Erie, PA due to an injured referee, but the ref is walking off under his own power with the assistance of the trainers. The rest of the Carnegie Mellon vs Penn State Behrend will be played with 2 officials, according to the PxP commentary.

I have switched to watching the live stream of the Emory v Oglethorpe game from the Blacktop in Atlanta.

Checking live stats of CMU v Penn State Behrend-- Behrend leading over CMU 46-44 with 9:20 left.

CMU only has 5 assists on their 16 made baskets.

RJ Holmes has 17 points-- still only Tartan in double figures. Penn State Behrend has 2 players in double figures at 22 and 16 points respectively, and one other Lion, Owen Flisnik has 15 rebounds.

deiscanton · January 02, 2022, 03:29:14 PM

Live stats now have Behrend leading over CMU 62-60 with 2:13 left.

2 Lions with 20+ point games (RJ Marsh and Kenny Fukon)

CMU was up by 2 at the half-- this could end up being the first loss of the season for Carnegie Mellon when leading at halftime. So far, CMU is 4-0 in games this season when up by halftime.

Final today in the only non-conference men's basketball game today--

Case Western Reserve 102, Hilbert 80

There were no live stats, so I will have to wait until Hilbert posts the box score.

Update-- Box score is now up. For CWRU, Cole Frilling led all scorers with 25 points, while Mitch Prendergast and Brian Hines scored 14 and 11 points respectively to lead the Spartans.

Note-- tonight, instead of Bates at Brandeis, the Bates Athletic Director, Jason Fein, is the first guest on Hoopsville tonight. He will appear in his role as a member of the DIII Championships Committee and the DIII Management Council.

I do not know what this means in terms of how close NYU is to lifting their athletics suspension, but this afternoon, NYU announced a new updated spectator policy that stated that NYU will adopt the same spectator policy as Wash U currently has once NYU resumes intercollegiate competition-- all home contests will be conducted behind closed doors, with no spectators allowed at NYU athletic events.

All NYU athletic facilities (Palladium, Brooklyn Athletic Facility, 404 Fitness) still remain closed to the NYU community until further notice.

This announcement was made by a tweet from NYU athletics at 2:47 PM Eastern Tuesday, January 4, 2021.

(PS-- 5:37 AM Eastern-- Wednesday, January 5, 2021-- NYU wrestling not competing at the Maganaro Duals at Ursinus College this Saturday, January 8, due to the ongoing NYU Athletics suspension.)

I have never heard of Silver Waves Media before, but I believe every UAA coach was named to their Most Impactful Coach list except for Jean Bain. I think their criteria required individuals to be a head coach for five years or more.

That is correct, and in addition the individual must still be an active coach to be named to the list. The Brandeis position is Jean Bain's first as a head coach.
