For UMass-Lowell, Division I transition hits home for the first time
UMass-Lowell’s first Division I home game was on Tuesday night. The program will have some challenges early on, including on the bottom line, but there is plenty of hope as they get started.
Rhode Island trip wasn’t the way Vermont hoped to start road stretch
Vermont played Bryant and Providence a couple of days apart to start a stretch of seven in a row and nine of ten away from home. They didn’t start it the way they had hoped, and it only gets tougher from here.
Kris Dunn’s return a very welcome sight
Providence got Kris Dunn back on Monday night, a welcome sight for this team. He looked good in relatively limited minutes, and the hope is he can stay healthy to be their all-important floor leader.
Will BC’s first win be the start of something?
Boston College finally got their first win of the season on Sunday night, but it didn’t come easily at all and the same issues are still plaguing them. Will it be anything more than stopping the bleeding?
UMass continues good start and shows some maturity
UMass improved to 3-0 on Sunday after letting Youngstown State hang around for a while. The Minutemen continue their good start, led by Chaz Williams, and certainly can get even better than what they have already shown.
Youngstown State may finally be ready to turn a corner
Youngstown State is home to a football program with a lot of wins and a basketball program that has struggled for a long time. But the Penguins may be ready to finally turn the corner on the hardwood.
Bryant gets a signature home win
Bryant has had some good wins in its short Division I history, but they have all come on the road. On Saturday, they got a big win in front of the home fans, and they have more opportunities ahead.
Blowout win may be just what Providence needed
Providence was never seriously challenged by Marist on Saturday, and given the Friars’ depth issues and the close calls in the first two games, it may be just what they needed.
Rhode Island bounces back, though it took some time
Rhode Island took more than a half to get going against North Carolina A&T. The game, like their season, wasn’t a success-only journey, but had some encouraging signs going forward that all came in the second half.
