Central Connecticut (4-6) at Colgate (5-5)
We struggled a bit in this game, but I think they had a superior talent gap. The final score was 72-65, so we staying cometative throughout. Moses scored 20 and had 10 boards to lead the team in both categories.

Colgate (5-6) at Albany (4-7)
Albany gets some revenge for the beating we have handed them the last few years and take this one on their home court, 59-56. Pierre and Tom D. were our only real offensive threats. The rest of the team struggled on the road today.

Garnder Webb (5-14) at Colgate (5-7)
We have no problems with the lowest rated prestige team in the country. We take this one 75-50. All starters scored in double figures except for Wampler. Great distribution in this game.

Northeastern (5-7) at Colgate (6-7)
We would like to get off to a good start in conference play this year, and we cannot afford to give up any home games. We come out playing hard and hold off a Northeastern comeback, then pull away at the end for a 77-66 victory. Moses and Pierre combined for 39 points in the paint and Tom D. added 11 points and 10 assists.

Colgate (7-7) at Campbell (11-3)
We look tired after playing with so much intensity last night and drop this road game 77-61. We will need to get them back at our place, as Campbell looks like an early front runner in the league.
