OT: D1

[Ship69]

D2 Wilmington (DE) shocked D1 U of Delaware last night.

That's not going to go over well at UD.

That also means I'm suddenly worried about Ship's Nov. 22 game with Wilmington, which is one the Raiders usually win.

Former GU star Josh Omajafo is tearing it up for South Florida... 19.2 ppg leading scorers so far through 3 games. 1st game off bench 22 pts in 17 mins, started the next 2 games.

Lost in the shuffle of a Steelers Sunday, the Pitt men lost to Quinnipiac. The Bobcats do have one of the top mid major players in the country in Amarri Monroe who went for 25. But for just a little context, Quinnipiac lost to Yale by nearly 40 a couple weeks ago..

Awful.

But, not as bad as the H2P women losing to D3 Scranton.

Quinnipiac ... and now Hofstra.

My goodness. No wonder they won't play Duquesne.

Duquesne might beat them by 20 plus! What a joke that program is!

Feds have indicted 20 former college basketball players (including from Duquesne and LaSalle) for conspiracy to fix games in connection to the NBA gambling ring.

Feds have indicted 20 former college basketball players (including from Duquesne and LaSalle) for conspiracy to fix games in connection to the NBA gambling ring.

That’s not quite right; twenty people were indicted but “only” 15 of them are former or current college players per ESPN’s report:

Fifteen of the defendants played college basketball during the 2023-24 and/or 2024-25 seasons, according to the indictment. Two of the players named in the indictment, Cedquavious Hunter and Dyquavian Short, were sanctioned in November by the NCAA for fixing New Orleans games.

Four of the players charged -- Simeon Cottle, Carlos Hart, Camian Shell and Oumar Koureissi -- have played for their current teams in the past week.

The other five defendants were described by authorities as fixers. At least two of the defendants, Shane Hennen and Marves Fairley, were also charged in a federal indictment in the Eastern District of New York centered on gambling schemes in the NBA.

It’s still a major indictment and there are a lot of schools involved including another one here in PA, Robert Morris.

Miami Ohio remains one of the better stories of the D1 season, sitting at 23-0. They’ve only just recently cracked the top 25 in part due to a less than stellar non conference schedule. Interesting to note that the closest game of said non conference schedule came in a five point home win over Mercyhurst. And in case you’re curious, the Lakers presently sit at 11-12 overall and 6-4 in NEC play.

Ben McCollum has Iowa at 16-5, 6-4 in the B1G in year one. They won 17 games last season.

That's good for them. The school is desperately trying to build a new arena but when you're inside a 2 square mile town, they tend to not like something like that being built at one of the major intersections. I do wonder if the students have noticed yet - hockey is the #1 sport there.

Have you seen the Angelo Dome in person? It's basically the entire campus.

Yes - even attended an event there. Miserable experience. Oxford, OH is a really cool place - but imagine sticking a 20,000 student university inside Zelienople without being adjacent to the highway. Oxford's a good 20 minute drive from I-70 and 20 minutes in the other direction to an area resembling suburbia. Beautiful campus. Fun little town. Surrounded by farms.

Capel can't actually survive this season ...

They've reached trash level.

They are completely irrelevant. The Stallings team that went winless in the ACC was so bad you at least felt compelled to occasionally discuss what was happening. There’s nothing about this program right now that even makes for semi interesting conversation. They just exist. They’re basically what they were before Ben Howland was hired.
