Massachusetts (3-0) at Colgate (4-0)
This is going to be a real test for us, and a good measuring stick.
Not only did we stick with them, we stuck it TO them! We come away with a great 70-51 win. This really boosts the team’s confidence, and gives us a real solid win on our resume. Eliason led the way with 19 points and 8 boards. Le, McNeil and Melton all added 11 points each.

Colgate (6-0) at Idaho (2-3)
We travel long distance for what could be a very tough game for us. Idaho gives us more than we can handle after the long plane trip and we take our first loss, a blowout, 82-63. Melton and Le are our only double digit scorers in this one.

How could I complain. We won a game we should not have (UMASS) and lost a questionable one, but a forgivable one (Idaho).
