St. Francis College is not a school that might naturally jump out at the casual fan as a place of potential. But now in his third season, Glenn Braica is trying to change all of that, and with some early results, can see potential perhaps even better than when he took the job.
Rhode Island has a lot of issues for this season’s team. They haven’t been a good defensive team and have been out-rebounded by more than six per game on the season. Offensively, there appear to be bigger challenges, and turnovers were an unexpected one in their loss at Providence on Thursday night.
Kansas State came into The World’s Most Famous Arena without a major test in the early going this season. They got two different ones in New York and now look forward to some practice time to work on their offense, a big concern.
Surely no one was happier to get home from the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament than Albany. And yet, the Great Danes couldn’t get comfortable there for long. So goes the November portion of their non-conference schedule, which has been more than a grind.
Some notes from Sunday’s final day of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic as two championships were decided and the All-Tournament teams were announced a little later.
Saint Joseph’s coach Phil Martelli has never been one to look for moral victories, and he wasn’t about to start doing it Saturday night. His team, a veteran group, lost in the championship game of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, and that was what mattered most.
The second day of the 2012 Charleston Classic is in the books and the final matchups for Sunday are set. Here are some quick hitters from the four games played on Friday.
Bryant was humbled in each of its first two outings of the season, which isn’t altogether shocking considering they were on the road. Unlike past seasons, the Bulldogs will have a better chance to recover from them as they have a better schedule.
Florida International managed to stay with BC for a while in the first half and rallied to tie the game in the second before succumbing. They showed some potential but also some problems along the way.
In giving Fairfield all it could handle and more on Saturday night, Central Connecticut showed that they will shine at times amidst some growing pains this season.
