Already two odd results in the AE today.

UMBC 60, Georgian Court 48 - it was a three point game with five minutes left

Hartford 86, Gordon 79 - tie game with nine minutes left

I have heard of a *lot* of obscure schools, but Georgian Court is a new one for me. It’s in Lakewood, NJ? I had no idea.

Vermont takes down St. Johns to move to 4-0. Virginia should be VERY afraid come Tuesday night. Don't be surprised to see Vermont come out of Charlottesville with a win .

When I was in college - mid 90's - Georgian Court was an all girl's school.  NAIA I believe at the time.  So they have been coed less than 30 years.  Edit - I just found this wiki - In 2013, Georgian Court became fully coeducational after more than 100 years as a women's college.

A couple other interesting results from yesterday. Manhattan, who we'll face in a couple weeks, held Albany to 28 percent shooting in a 57-51 win. A couple sophomore guards, Tykei Greene and Samir Stewart, led the way offensively. I remember Manhattan being more than happy to muck games up and this was another example.

Maine, just north of Portland, ME, flew all the way to Portland, OR for a game, losing 71-62. El Darwich and Prijovic played all 40 minutes.

I cant understand why teams travel across country to play another team. I know scheduling is tough, but there are hundreds of D1 schools close enough, surely there must be a school willing to schedule you.

Stony brook Football has a history of traveling to the West Coast to play FBS teams every year, tough teams I must say. Why cant they schedule something closer. UMASS, UCONN, BC, Syracuse, Rutgers. Maryland, Buffalo, etc.. These are all bus rides away.  What do I know anyways!!

UVM was stride for stride with UVa tonight but turnovers plagued them late. Lamb finished with 30 of their 54.

34 of UVM’s 52 shot attempts were from three. Book the following: we are going to do the saaaame thing because it’s our only hope!

Saw the 2nd half. Some observations: Lamb looks stronger and better and the remaining players are not as strong. They miss Ernie. We double Lamb all game and we’ll be OK. As I told my son, glad uvm didn’t win this game; it would have tarnished our upcoming victory over UVA.

If Vermont looks mortal, then with our team.... I think we've got a real shot.

VA, just to clarify, Lamb didn't look mortal at all, except at end of game, when he missed 3 desperation 3's in a row.  Honestly, for the first time, he looked like an NBA caliber guy to me.  He's stronger, his moves were sharper, and he was lighting it up from behind the arc.  The remaining Duncan boys are a mere shell of what Ernie was.  Stef Smith is probably their 2nd best player, IMO.  Just need to focus on shutting down Lamb (easier said, than done).

Hope you're going to see the game at UVa; they look like a real solid team.

A light bulb clearly went off for Lamb after his freshman season. If he's going to play at the next level, he had to improve his perimeter game. He may be able to do work on the block in the America East, but not against elite competition at 6-6/225, and certainly not in the NBA. I still think he's a second-round pick who's more of a G League guy.

The last time an AEC player was drafted from a team still in the conference was 1993 (Hartford) when the conference was stronger than it is today. If Warney didn't make it, I don't see Lamb making it.

Lamb can score 50 points a game and he still will not get drafted because he's too small and not quick enough. Not my rules. Blame the NBA!!!!!

I'd say it's a 25% chance Lamb gets drafted in the latter half of the second round. If he goes to these blue-blood schools, does he even crack the starting five? Akwasi didn't – but of course he isn't as good as Lamb, and certainly not in terms of productivity. It's not a bad comp though with their comparable size and athleticism, which is to say good but not great. By the time he's done at UVM, his body of work will be outstanding, but the list of all-time players in the AE is also a list of sub-NBA and overseas players. With an established minor league system in the states, I could still see him sticking in the G League and getting a cup of coffee in the NBA. End of bench role at best.

I know their record is trash, but Binghamton might have a nice little nucleus coming together if they all stay. In addition to Sessoms, who’s just a sophomore, three freshmen and another newcomer are getting big minutes for them. This freshman Tinsley is a well built kid who’s averaging 38 minutes as a freshman and is tops in boards (8.3) and second behind Sessoms in scoring (11.8). Mills is shooting the heck out it tonight. The Icelander’s name that I’m not typing out plays for their national team and looks a decent complementary piece. And then there’s a seven footer with a year of juco behind him.

They haven’t been able to get out of their own way over the years, but talent-wise, they’ve looked all right to me just in the half of a half I’ve watched so far.

Big win last night for the other school on the island. Hofstra 88, UCLA 78. They erased an eight point second half lead to hand UCLA its first loss of the year.

Made their threes (12-24), made their free throws (24-30). Good recipe.
