I will let RGS do his usual preview, but at 1-3, SCS(not the BU fan) is at 324 in Pomeroy. they have been trounced by South Carolina, Syracuse(sound familiar ?) and Wichita State, and have beaten a D 3

their stats don't look good In 4 games They have played 3 very good teams, two of which we are quite familiar with. so the stats could hardly be good.

SC State plays 7 Top 50 teams on the road in OOC action. What a brutal schedule

Fwiw, SC State was picked to finish 2nd in the MEAC behind pre-season favorite Howard, where old friend Kevin Nickelberry is the head coach.

Should be a good game today. Will be interesting to see what kind of crowd we draw for the first real men's game in the re-done Hart Center. Regular updates here will be appreciated by those of us at a basketball tourney for younger peoples.

With the students on vacation and sporting a 1-3 record, I will be pleasantly surprised if there are more than 500. Well, 498 besides myself and son.

Just watched SCS play Syracuse on ESPN archives.
This will not be an easy game for us by any means.
They are quick and athletic and against Syracuse loved to rush the ball up the court.
Their 3 pt shooting % for the first 4 games is only 23% but the competition has been very strong (Wichita St, Syr and USC).
Watch their coach. He reminds me of Milan Brown in that he dresses in a 3 piece suit and is incredibly active on the sideline coaching the defense and clapping hands.
Should be an enjoyable matchup. We'll learn a lot about HC today......

Looking for Robert Champion to come out of his 4 game funk. He's 28% from the floor. 25% from 3, 50% from the FT line with 6 Assists and 12 Turnovers.
C'mon Robert, we know what you are capable of. First home game would be a good time to get back on track.

This is going to be a tough game. I think we win by about 5. I could see a breakout from JF given that we won't be going up against as much size as we have against the big boys.

definitely not an easy game, but i think we'll win this game.
the meac is not known for strong coaching, and i think we'll pick these guys apart. after a slow start to the season, it would be great to see champion continue his strong play in the second half of the harvard game. we need champion to be a successful team this year and i think it was only a matter of time for him. i see us winning by 8-10 points today, maybe more.
