Joe Cremo going from Albany to defending national champion Villanova. Not a bad look for you, America East.

Seriously, going to Nova to be a bench player at best? He’s not that good, imo, not sure what Jay Wright sees in him.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

If he's "not that good" then going to the national champs, even as a bench player, is a great move on his part.

Worst case scenario, you can put him in a corner and he knocks down threes (46 percent last year). He might not start for them, but I can easily see him being part of the puzzle as a veteran presence who gives you 8-10 points a night off the bench. He's not flashy but he can help them.

I don't know.  If playing 10 minutes a game for Nova vs. 30 minutes a game for UA, is what he wants in his last year of eligibility, then good for him.  Personally, I'd rather be on the court, than on the bench, regardless of who I play for.

Figured I'd bump this.

America East went 2-5 yesterday, with the wins coming from us and UNH's 54-point win over mighty Rivier. As far as the Ls go, only Hartford's home loss to CCSU was particularly noteworthy.

I saw that Hartford loss . They were supposed  play for the championship this year .  I guess someone was wrong.

Only team we really haven't seen is Vermont. They get BU on Friday, then #2 Kansas on Monday (I say #2, because anybody who doesn't rank Duke at #1 is a friggin idiot). We'll know exactly how good they are by the end of Monday night.

Two hideous results for Hartford to start the year - a home loss to CCSU and a 100-73 defeat at Utah State. Pretty much the opposite of our first week.

In other AE news: Vermont is playing at #2 Kansas right now and has an 18-12 lead 7 minutes into the game (Game is on ESPN2). It likely won't last, but it's great to see an AE team compete with a big dog like Kansas. This league really has potential if all the teams commit to basketball and invest.

Kansas leading Vermont 40-36 at the half. Great showing from Vermont thus far.
