Colgate (2-5) at Howard (2-5)
Melton is back at full strength and everybody is listed as 100%. Tom D. is obviously out and will be for the rest of the year, so this game is a preview of what our team will now look like for the rest of the season. Our offense gets going with the return of Melton, but we just let up too many points today and fall in a heartbreaker, 87-86. Le scored 9 points, and he was the only starter not to get into double figures…just 1 point short. Jones led the way with 15.

New Hampshire (2-6) at Colgate (2-6)
A good opportunity to start stringing some wins together. We right the ship with a narrow 64-60 win here at home. Melton leads the team with 15 points. Johhnie Moore, our new starting PG scored 17 and had 5 assists, a very solid effort.
