In lieu of a Know! Your! Foe! (several reporters contacted, none responded): Kent State is the anti-Wagner in many ways. They're rather solid offensively yet weaker defensively. The Golden Flashes hold onto the basketball very nicely and are dominant on the offensive glass but seem to have their troubles defending inside the arc and forcing turnovers.

Chris Evans is their Ian Hummer, a 6'8" senior forward who leads his team in almost all available statistical categories but Evans gets serious support from classmate Randal Holt out of the backcourt. You'll see them both on the floor for most of the night and they're good for 34.1 combined points.

KSU has defeated Drexel at home and won in Nebraska's gym. Both their losses were versus KenPom Top 100 teams, Temple by 14 and Valpo in OT.

Start your own conversation about the game in the forum.

Ian Hummer is keeping his family's legacy alive at Princeton.

The Full-Court Press previews tonight's game.

Georgetown (5-1) defeated Tennessee 37-36 in a game that saw neither team score during the final 4:10.

Kansas held off Oregon State (4-2) by six.

How do you lose a basketball game by 20 while committing only four turnovers? Ask Northwestern (6-1) who lost 77-57 to Maryland in part because they were outrebounded 47-19.

Despite 29 from Derek Needham, Fairfield (3-4) dropped an 85-78 decision on the road at DePaul.

Denver (1-4) fell 61-50 at Southern Miss.

The Mercer game scheduled for yesterday evening was postponed.

The Full-Court Press offers the lone preview of today's game I could find.

A Know! Your! Foe! about Lafayette was scheduled to run last night but the person who agreed to answer my questions went MIA after receiving these queries. Instead I offer three things to look at as the game unfolds:

1. Leopards sophomore center Dan Trist was averaging 23.0 ppg before getting injured prior to Lafayette's game at Kentucky eight days ago. What is his status?

2. Are Lafayette's poor defensive numbers this season (332nd overall, 334th in EFG%, 337th in 2PT%) due more to the quality of the opponents they've faced (all in the Top 200 including the aforementioned Wildcats and Maryland) or a result of the Leopards' personnel?

3. Princeton is 343rd in the NCAA guarding the perimeter. Opponents are making 49.0% of their threes versus the Tigers. Lafayette is converting 40.9% of their outside attempts and jacking on average 25.4 times from deep. Is this where the game will be won or lost?

Fairfield (3-3) fell 66-47 at Providence.

Holding TCU to just 31 points, Northwestern (5-0) advanced to the championship of the South Padre Island Invitational. The Wildcats will play fellow unbeaten Illinois State.

Georgetown returns home to host Mount St. Mary's and Richmond visits Ohio today.

Around the Ivy League: Cornell (2-4) destroyed winless Presbyterian, 89-55. At the Hilltop Classic, Columbia (4-1) recorded a victory over NAIA program Wayland Baptist, 75-63.
