Tough for Wash-U to overcome a FT differential like 32-36 for Rochester, 6-13 for the Bears.  Not going to complain about the officiating, since I watched the live stats updates. 

Otherwise, things were fairly even.  Rochester had an 11-9 edge in made 3s, and Wash-U had 8 more baskets overall than the Yellowjackets.  And, if the Bears can get 9 turnovers from DiBartolomeo and 22 overall from Rochester, then they put themselves in a decent position to win the game.

I suspect that Wash-U didn't get as many points from those turnovers as it should have.  Haven't seen those stats yet, but if the Bears got much less than a point per Rochester turnover, then that became a big obstacle to overcome.

It could be worse, Bears fans...like 0-3 worse to start the UAA slate.  Wash-U has to take care of business at home, with 6 of its next 8 games in the Fieldhouse.

Brandeis is a very dangerous team, with balanced scoring and good defense.  The Judges got lost in the pre-season limelight shuffle, I suppose...but they will have a hand in deciding who wins the UAA.

Whoever can steal the most road wins might be the eventual victor this season.

Emory destroys Chicago 79-48.  The Maroons shot 23 percent from the field including 3-14 from three point range.

With the first Friday-Sunday sequence in the books, the conference standings are as follows:

Rochester 3-0 (14-0)
Brandeis 3-0 (12-2)    
NYU 2-1 (12-2)
Washington 1-2 (11-3)
Emory 1-2 (9-4)    
Case Western 1-2 (8-6)
Chicago 1-2 (7-7)   
Carnegie Mellon 0-3 (3-11)

UAA road wins so far, early in the conference slate:

Wash-U 1
Case-Western 1
Rest of the teams 0

Will be interesting to see this statistic unfolds in the next couple of weekends.

Indeed, we'll see how they deal with the upcoming trips to Rochester and WashU.  Very deep team this year, Moten has worked into the lineup better and better and Retos has become a bit more than a stationary 3 point shooter. Dascy had a tough day today, need his boards and inside work.

long way to go before this year's UAA story is told!

Yep, and Brandeis gave Wash-U one of its only 3 defeats in the 2009-10 season, at the Fieldhouse. 

Can't wait for the upcoming weekend to see what happens...

Final scores from Friday in the UAA:

Washington University over New York 68-59 while Brandeis defeats Chicago 59-55 in Hyde Park. Rochester over Carnegie Mellon 72-63 and Emory over Case Western 82-60.

Rochester and Brandeis with a two game lead over the next three teams.

The big game on Sunday will be Brandeis in St. Louis.
__________________________________

Good game in St. Louis last night with a game that started out much like the game last season.  NYU had a 9-2 and 15-4 lead with four three-pointers.  The Bears battled back to a three point half-time lead.  +10 on rebounds with Klimek, Hoener and Aboona scoring in double figures.

Note to Rob Burnett: if you get the ball with your back to the basket and you are not under the hoop, passing is always an option.

Mike McGrath and the U. of Chicago Maroons recently landed two huge recruits...

http://blogs.suntimes.com/hoopsreport/2011/11/a_true_recruiting_coup.html

A cursory glance at how the true recruiting coup looks on paper on games through January 18th.  For the freshmen:

Jordan Smith has started five times in 15 games, averaging 19 minutes, 9.4 ppg, 3.4 rpg. Led the team in scoring against Brandeis with 11.

Nate Brooks has played 10 games, averaging 21 minutes, 5.9 ppg, 5.8 rpg. Has not played since the last non-conference match-up against Alma.

I'm not sure why Mike McGrath has benched Brooks, although he has a lot of older alternatives at forward. Smith is as good as advertised, although he still makes the usual freshman mistakes.

Very entertaining game at Ratner last night. Once Moten got hot early in the second half and erased what had been a fairly solid Chicago lead, I sensed that it would go down to the wire. In the end, it was Moten's ability to draw the double-team that led to the game's key shot, a trey by Alex Stoyle with 51 seconds left that expanded a three-point Judges lead to an insurmountable six. Moten also forced Royce Muskeyvalley to foul out, which really hurt the Maroons as well.

(P.S. I love the fact that the Chicago pep band plays the theme to Game Of Thrones. That's so U of C. I'll bet that half the band members can speak Dothraki, too. ;))

Rochester and Brandeis return home today with a two game lead on the rest of the conference at 5-0 with Emory getting the win today and holding a 3-2 conference record.  Chicago, Washington and NYU at 2-3.

Brandeis gets a key road win over Washington University 67-62 after trailing at the half 25-21.  Slow start for both teams offensively.  The Bears had an ever so slight edge in rebounding (39-38) but went 15-30 from the charity stripe.  In conference statistics from yesterday show an obvious weakness with the Bears shooting 41-80 (FT-FTA) and opponents shooting 75-102.  Yikes!

Derek Retos (23 points) shot 12 times from three point range connecting on 6 off the bench, but the back and forth game turned for the last time on a Moton three as the shot clock expired and 1:19 on the game clock.

Klimek had a great game, scoring 18, but had to sit for stretches with foul trouble and Palucki who finished with 12 points and 9 rebounds.  Aboona was called on a bone-headed technical after getting fouled hard and tossing the ball back at the defender.

Emory and Rochester host Brandeis next Friday and Sunday with Brandeis hosting Emory and Rochester the following weekend.  Hard to imagine that we have something more than a two way dogfight for the championship, but we will see how Emory responds.

Moton 3 was huge, well covered too. Retos still on fire.

If Brandeis plays well next weekend, they are in good shape. Top 25 rank next?

Brandeis breaks through with a No. 19 ranking in the latest D3Hoops.com Top 25 Poll.  The Judges rank No. 15 in the Massey Ratings.  No. 1 St. Thomas remains ahead of No. 2 Rochester in both the poll and Massey.  Washington University barely in the poll at No. 24, but slightly better according to Massey at No. 22.

I say Brandeis and Rochester split with each winning at home.
I would have to say Emory has to go at least 3-1 to stay in the race the next 2 weeks??  Is the game vs. Rochester at the end of the year in Rochester or Atlanta for Emory??
