Yale is a quality program and they take care of us on our own court, 74-55. Moses had a double, double with 18 points and 10 boards. Freeman Murphy put up 11 points and 7 boards in his first start, a nice sign.

Colgate (6-5) at Buffalo (2-9)
I hate losing to real bad teams, even if we are on the road, and that is exactly what we did today, 67-60. Moses again led the team, he had 17 points today. Freeman put up another 14 in his second start. He is a nice surprise right now.

Colgate (6-6) at Northeastern (9-3)
We have to open our conference schedule, on the road against a team that was ranked for a week this season. Pretty tough situation. The doctors say that Pierre Jones is 93% healthy, so we put him back into the starting lineup.
We play them tough on the road, but suffer a 72-65 defeat. Moore led the way with 23 points. Moses had 12 and Freeman scored 10. Freeman has scored in double figures in each of his starts. When Tom D. comes back, I may give Freeman the start at SF and move Pierre back to the 6th man spot. Pierre is a fine player, but cannot surpass Moses at Center this year.
