Day Two of the National Prep Showcase began with a couple of dandies, had another one later and also some big news that didn’t take place on the court.
2010 National Prep Showcase – Friday Notes
Day One of the National Prep Showcase featured some offense, a look at new teams in the event and closed out with an overtime thriller.
Providence Has a New and Unlikely Identity
Last year, anytime “Providence” and “defense” were used in the same sentence, it was almost never good for the Friars. That appears to be changing if the first three games of the season are any indication.
Harvard Unexpectedly Routs Holy Cross
Sometimes, “dominant” isn’t quite the word to describe how one team played in a game. Wednesday might have been one of those nights with the way Harvard man-handled Holy Cross 72-49 in their home opener in a game that wasn’t even that close.
Encouraging Start for Rhode Island
Although they are 1-1, Rhode Island’s play in their first two games has to be encouraging given the personnel questions they had coming into the season.
Jones Hopes Younger Bulldogs Can Mature Soon
Early in the season, every team is a work in progress, some teams more than others. Yale would appear to be one team that has more to go than others, and they almost gave themselves a nice boost on Monday night in a tough 58-55 loss at Providence.
College of Charleston Has Personnel, Intangibles For Success
Bobby Cremins has a pretty good idea for how good a team may be. So when the College of Charleston coach tells you he has a good team, you can believe him, especially after seeing a game like the Cougars’ outing in Saturday night’s win at Holy Cross.
Allen Leads, Young Players Follow For Northeastern in Win
Northeastern will rely on Chaisson Allen this year, to the surprise of no one. But they need some younger players to follow his lead and contribute, and that formula seemed to be in effect in the Huskies’ season-opening win over their cross-town rivals.
Crusaders Ready With Another New Head Coach
Holy Cross will have their third head coach in three years, a definite anomaly for the program. Coaching change aside, there are things to like about this team, especially on the perimeter.
