Surprised to see such a large disparity in total points between Massey (119) and Pomeroy (141). Pomeroy has it 73-68 in favor of AU.

We could be back close to 100% strength for this one. I wonder how AU will be.

Should be a big crowd, Winter Homecoming! I think that will juice up the team..I know they loved playing in front of the whiteout crowd! They will be in purple uniforms Saturday!

If AU is still going to be down to five scholarship players and relying on three walk ons to play, we've got to find a way to win tomorrow.
Top six is still a possibility...but tomorrow's game feels like a must win to keep that in play.

Top six is still a possibility...but tomorrow's game feels like a must win to keep that in play. It will be interesting to see how many players AU has. At this point, I am not proud and if catching AU undermanned is the difference between win and lose, I'll take the undermanned opponent. I also put a little more weight on homecoming games. Among other things, with larger crowds, those folks will be a little more invested if they see the guys win

While there should be a good crowd in terms of numbers, for homecoming the noise level isn't always in line with the number of attendees. I hope the students can get up for this one, particularly those who sat in Section I for the BU game. Hopefully the guys can keep it close, and then the fans pull them through down the stretch. The 2pm start vs noon should help.
Hope I can find a place to park!

American is 12-3 when it shoots 35% or higher on threes and 1-8 when it does not. HC has held opponents under35% on threes 9 times.

The biggest problem with the 3 point defense stat is that there is more off a luck factor than most other stats Most 3 pointers are open shots. True that good defensive team usually contest more than bad bad defensive teams, but players who miss open threes are usually unaffected by defense. The.NBA actually has 3 three point defensive stats 1-all 3s 2- open 3- wide open( 6 feet apart, I believe)

Get him healthy first and then return him to play.

With our announcers, if we do not mute them, we need close captioning

HC record in the score bug is the final record in the regular season for last year.
Let’s clean it up.

American gets their first basket 3:55 into the game … and they take the lead!
HC down 3-2 at the first TV timeout.

HC will not win by matching 2 pt shots with 3 pt shots by AU (or by fouling a 3 point shooter as the shot clock expires.)
