Buffalo (3-4) at Colgate (4-2)
Buffalo comes in and just blows us out of our own building in an embarrassing 93-67 loss. Craven had a nice 21 point performance and Brown and Murphy scored in double digits, but we were never close in this one.

December Recap
C Brooks Davis, from Jaffrey, NH, has committed to Colgate. Brooks is a 4 star recruit! He is a nasty play on offense already and could improve by leaps and bounds still. He shows good defensive skills, but we would like to see his rebounding improve. With the state of our centers right now, he is already guaranteed a starting spot next season.
