There's an open thread for the Buffalo game in the forum if you want to discuss the 2012-13 opener before/during/after.
Ian Hummer is making his own name at Princeton. ESPN writes that while Hummer did not find himself on the the Wooden Award preseason top 50, he could end up there by season's end.
The Tigers ran into a Yankees pitcher at the airport on their way up to Buffalo.
Basketball games just really shouldn't be played on top of boats. Georgetown (0-0) got in 20 minutes versus Florida before their matchup was halted at halftime due to condensation. The result was a no contest.
Last night Richmond (1-0) crushed Liberty, 84-42. It was the school's 13th straight season-opening victory.
Denver (0-1) could not get entirely out of a 25 point deficit at Iona, falling 65-58.
There were no issues for Oregon State (1-0). The Beavers ripped Niagara, 102-83.
Fairfield begins their year this evening versus Central Connecticut. SNY has the game on tape delay at 10:00 pm ET.
Scoring 17 points and grabbing nine rebounds, Kareem Maddox played what he felt was his best display of the season in a Newcastle victory over Manchester.
Around the Ivy League: Harvard (1-0) started off their season down 10-0 to MIT, but regrouped for the 69-54 victory. Penn (1-0) dug themselves an even deeper hole against UMBC, trailing by as many as 22 in the first half. A 48-15 run turned the scoreboard around and sent the Quakers to an 80-75 decision.
