Tennessee State (4-11) at Colgate (7-2)
We struggle, even with Barnett back in the lineup and drop this game which we should have own, 73-63. Eliason had a nice game, scoring 17 and Barnett and McNeil put up double figures, but the bench was not much help today.

Nevada (10-2) at Colgate (7-3)
I thought this one would be wire to wire, but instead, we impress and take this one with ease, 86-54. Eliason was a monster and put up a double, double with a huge 32 points and 10 boards. Melton rebounded from a 1 for 8 game with 18 points today.

We lose McNeil for about 2 weeks in this game with a broken cheekbone.

Colgate (8-3) at Brown (7-6)
We open up our conference schedule on the road. The loss of McNeil didn’t help and we drop our opener, 75-71. Alpert had a double, double with 12 points and 11 boards, and Eliason led the team with 18. Melton and Moore also scored in double figures, but the defense could not lock them down.

In addition, Melton dislocated his knee and could miss up to three weeks. We are getting pretty thin here.

Northeastern (10-3) at Colgate (8-4)
We drop a real heartbreaker, 81-80. Eliason put up 20 points and Alpert had 14 to continue our dominant inside game. Silverman had 12 off the bench and we had a variety of scoring from everyone else, but once again, our defense lets us down.
