Colgate (6-3) at Cleveland State (2-8)
We finally drop a game after winning 6 in a row. This time we lose 61-50 in a pretty uninspiring performance. Tom D. was our only player to score in double figures, and he only had 10.

December Recap
Terrible news comes in on New Year’s day, as Tom D. and James Raby were both placed on academic suspension. They will be on the bench for at least 1 month. We give freshman, Freeman Murphy the starting SG job.

We rebounded after our slow start to win 6 of 7 games since. The academic suspension of Tom D. is going to hurt us bad. We will need a freshman to step in and step up his game early in his career.
