Colgate (6-1) at Furman (6-2)
This is another tough game we scheduled. I can’t wait to get home.
Furman takes care of us 75-64, and it is a game they should have won anyway, but at least we played competitively. Eliason led the way with 13 and Melton continues to be a great 6th man for us, chipping in 11.

Colgate (6-2) at Cal State Fullerton (2-11)
Another very long road trip, but this time we should be able to handle them. It actually ends up a nail biter, but we get the 1 point win, 65-64. We take it and get out of there quickly. Eliason, McNeil and Moore all scored in double figures, and Alpert pulled down 12 boards for us.
