Andy Katz Giving Harvard-Vermont Respect
Andy Katz notes that Harvard Vermont is a big game, one that could keep Harvard out of the top 25.
America East Football: Stony Brook over Albany 31-28
How much longer is the America East Conference going to pretend that a Football program doesn't make sense? The Stony Brook v. Albany game (Go Seawolves!) is proof positive that there can be exciting--and high-quality--football on par with basketball. As a matter of fact, with four America East schools making it to the FCS playoffs (New Hampshire and Maine in addition to SB and Albany), AE would have been the most represented conference in the entire FCS. (CAA Football has 5 teams in, but Maine and NH are two of them).
Let's make it happen, America East!
Is Tommy Brenton haunting Tom Crean's Nightmares?
I know it's usually a courtesy on the part of the opposing coach from a big time basketball school to speak nice of mid-majors shipped in for a solid home-opening W...but this tweet from Indiana head coach Tom Crean is making the rounds in Bloomington.
Obviously I'm not banking on an away game win over a Big 10 basketball program, but this game might be closer than anyone thought it could be a year ago.
Stony Brook Basketball Preview
The Stony Brook Statesman sets the bar high for the rest of American East uni papers -- a very high quality preview.
According to one rival coach who lost out on Watson, "He [Watson] is much, much better [than Irving], much faster… he’s going to be an absolute stud." Watson turned down offers from schools in the ACC, and despite his diminutive stature (he is even shorter than his listed height), he could be huge for the Terriers.
