St. Louis (0-0) at Colgate (0-0)
This might end up being our toughest game of the year. St. Louis is a pretty decent squad, with a prestige level in the 50’s, while ours is in the mid 30’s. the crowd comes out in full force for opening night, and they spur us on to a huge upset, 87-80. Chris Needham was named POTG for his 13 point, 11 rebound performance, but we had other candidates for the award. Le led the team with 20 points and also had 9 boards. Tom Delarosario, in his first collegiate game, scored 14 and handed out 5 assists. Melton and Moore also scored in double figures for us.

Texas Southern (0-0) at Colgate (2-0)
Texas S. is another tough game we scheduled, and they we cannot overcome the talent gap as we fall, 71-66. We kept it close the whole way though. Tom D. led the team with 16 points. So far he has lived up to the hype. Moore and Pierre Jones also scored in double figures.

Josh Melton broke his cheekbone in this game and will miss about 3 weeks of play. Maybe if he played the whole game, we could have pulled this one out.
November Recap
PG James Raby, from Ilion, NY has committed to Colgate. James is a 3 star recruit. He is a very good passer and has a good jump shot. He will need to work on his defense for us though.
