On The Horizon

NEWS AND NOTES:

-Notre Dame is still undefeated, but they continue to struggle in home buy games. They held off Youngstown State 88-81.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-IUPUI AT CHICAGO STATE (***Centenary Award Watch***). Also the UTR Game of the Day. The loser of this game will be an early frontrunner to win the Centenary Award!! Both of these teams will struggle to finish in the top 360 of the NET, so today’s stakes could not be higher!! Or…lower. These are two teams that look to be so indescribably bad that you actually wonder how both of them would perform in their respective state high school basketball tournaments.

News, Notes, and Highlighted Games – Sunday, Nov 13th--Hoops HD

NEWS AND NOTES:
-Wright State bounced back from blowing a 21 point lead at home against Davidson with a last second 73-72 win at Louisville. I know Louisville isn’t all that good, but I think Wright State may be able to make quite a bit of noise in the Horizon League this year.

YOUNGSTOWN STATE @ NOTRE DAME

ND’s ball screen and 1v1 defense was totally exposed by Radford in the opener, with Smith and the frosh Giles getting wherever they wanted on the floor, and the Highlanders looked like the more athletic team. Cohill can absolutely do the same thing to the Irish today, but ...

Robert Morris

Projected overall record: 13-18

Projected conference record: 9-11

Rank: No. 304

The skinny: On the surface, it looks like more pain for coach Andy Toole’s team in its third Horizon League campaign. Nine conference wins, however, would actually be a solid step forward after just three in 2020-21 and five in 2021-22. It’s the non-conference where things could be painful, as the Colonials rank ahead of just Evansville (No. 323), Central Michigan (No. 305) and former NEC rival St. Francis of Pennsylvania (No. 315) before they get into their league slate. Once they navigate that tough stretch, it will be a tight path to a potential .500 conference record. The Colonials have a 53% chance in their New Year’s Eve home game against Cleveland State and a 52% chance in their Jan. 27 home game against Detroit. They’ll likely need to snag wins in both of those, then pull out victories as short underdogs either at Milwaukee (44%) on Jan. 19 or at home against Oakland (45%) on Jan. 29 to be in the mix for what would be an important program-building milestone.

NEWS AND NOTES:

-Davidson fell behind by 21 on the road against Wright State. Wright State looked absolutely flawless and it appeared that it was going to be a route, but Davidson chipped away in the second half, and with 5 minutes to go got the lead, and it seesawed back and forth for the rest of regulation, then overtime, and then double overtime before Davidson finally got the win. It was an impressive come from behind win on the road against a pretty good team.

DAVIDSON @ WRIGHT STATE

Davidson and Matt McKillop already have a game under their belts (albeit vs Guilford) to work out some of the opening day jitters with a new regime, but of course this was already going to be the most seamless coaching change in the country... Wright State meanwhile likely sees a slight stylistic shift, as the Basile to Braun transition isn’t likely as seamless as the Love to Basile baton pass on the block...
UT MARTIN @ YOUNGSTOWN STATE

Brutal start for UTM offensively, as they were expected to make a big leap with Parker Stewart joining KJ Simon, but those two combined for just 20 points and 10 turnovers in a blowout loss to Pitt. YSU meanwhile went to Buffalo and destroyed Canisius, dominating at the rim and in PNR actions...

News, Notes, and Highlighted Games – Wednesday, Nov 9th--Hoops HD

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-DAVIDSON AT WRIGHT STATE. Props to Davidson for scheduling a game, especially a game this early in the season, that many teams would be hesitant to play. It’s a road game against a good UTR team. Wright State will likely win a lot of games at home this year, and if the committee is paying attention like they say they are (and I think that they are) Davidson will get some credit for winning this. It’s the season opener for Wright State, and Davidson is looking to move to 2-0 and put a decent road win on their resume.
