Surprised we are only favored by -16.5. They are listed at 251 in KenPom (which is mostly based on preseason projections at this point so take that with a grain of salt). Beat Northeastern by 1 in OT in their opener. Last year 16-16 overall and 10-8 in conference (Patriot League). Hope this isn’t a trap game and we can bounce back from the sloppy offensive performance on Monday. Annoying early 6pm ET start time due to the B1G selling out to Peacock for $$$. I won’t be able to watch but hopefully it’s beautiful execution and a blowout W.

Looks like they have a couple good players. We need alot of work with all the new faces, so our upcoming schedule is going to be awesome for us. My guess is that we split the harder games, at best.
Im fairly excited about this team as it has great potential once we get into the Bigten play. Thankfully, no more mvsu or garbage programs filling up our schedule. If they can have a decent record with ooc teams then im ok with that as they figure out their team.

The question should be, will we break 100 against BU?

They were picked to finish second in the Patriot League. An interesting match-up will be Page and Kropp against their 7' German center, who put up 20 points in their win against that other directional school Northeastern. We'll see if Page has solved his foul issues. They were led in scoring by Sam Hughes with 21 points, a 6'6" redshirt freshman Guard playing his first college game. Interesting to see how Gello matches up with him. Max Green should have a good read on most of these guys from his Holy Cross days. He had 10 points in a loss and 18 points in a 20 point win against BU last year.

Their guys looked athletic enough but they really did not seem in any kind of sync. So many throws to nobody early, Then later they started hitting threes, The one guy (20) had like 6 of them and couple other guys were hitting them as well

Page had like one foul and I don't recall any issues in the first real game of the season, Tonight he had issues at the FT line, I think he was 0-4

Taking NU to cover was an easy call!
