Hudson Valley area.....NY
Seton Hall over Manhattan **
Tough game because its so early on.Hall has 6'8 Whitney who is the best player on the court.Copeland,Nutter and Marshall are all playing the gds spots.Inside SH has the advantage with 6'10 Billmier who takes a lot of space.Gaines is the transfer that everyone is excited about.Very athletic and a slasher.Cousins is the 6'10 kid everyone said has improved big time.Last year he was on the island "Lost".
Orr has some talent,size,athletes,etc.But he can't coach.Lyr this team shoots from everywhere,plays no post defense.Whitney picks up 3 fouls in the 1st 8 minuts.No one shares the ball,etc,etc.
Orr is on the hot seat.In scrimmages they have changed there style,are playing as a team.Whitney inside can score and rebound with anyone.They graduated a few good players,Cerasoli transfered so this team is in transition.Garcia the 6'9 promising frosh didn't practice the other nite and has been seen wearing a knee brace.

Bobby G's team the Jaspers are still rebuilding after lyrs fall.Gds are small and are like waterbugs.Wingate cannot shoot.Minor thinks he can.Kono plays the 2 and he's OK.But Gonzo bought in super frosh Devon Austin and at 6'6 can play anywhere.Impact player in the MAAC.Inside is 6'8 CJ Anderson who was frosh Pl of the yr avg 16-8 bds.Dubois is a little slow at 6'8 but hits the bds.This team will miss Mulligan because he was there slasher,rebounder and scorer.Xavier at the end of the season played good giving them outside shooting.That seems to be there problem.Austin was a steal because he could play on any BE team.
Manhattan will full court press,create turnovers and run.Gonzalez is a much better coach and has total control of his kids.Orr is opposite.
Hall is one of the worst ats teams in the land going 2-10.But Manhattan was a terrible road team at 5-9.
A small lean to the home team thinking Hall has some inside players that can score in the paint.But only small play because Austin might take control like CJ did last yr.

Princeton over Drexal **
Playing in Jadwin,Drexal lost most of its scorers lyr.Think they have a tough time playing the Tigers away from home.Tigers have Greenman who can hit from all over.Owings,Savage,etc.Schaen there 6'8 center comes back from a yr off.Good shooting team,solid defense,motion offense...Drex in trouble tonite..

Back later.
Lost the Northwestern-Lehigh game.Lehigh dominated.NW's Thompson played 14 minuts and scored 1 pt.Did he get hurt.Because Charlotte will blow them away tonite.
