Northeastern (9-8) at Colgate (8-9)
Another home game, and we eek another victory out, this time by just 2 points, 87-85. Again, it was all guard play. Brown, Murphy, Craven and McGee off the bench combined for 75 of our points. Brown, Murphy and Craven all scored over 20, which is pretty impressive.

Colgate (9-9) at Brown (10-8)
This weekend we have two road games, and we drop the first one by a basket, 59-57. Brown led us with 17 points, while Murphy and Craven had 13 each. We are still not getting much production down low, and I really don’t except that to change this season.

Colgate (9-10) at Campbell (7-13)
Ouch. We get thumped, 76-48. Murphy led the way with 14, and Craven chipped in with 11. There big guys dominated ours and scored a lot of points all day long.

North Carolina A&T (5-15) at Colgate (9-11)
I was afraid to play this game, as this is the kind of loss that just kills me. Thankfully, we have no problems today at home, winning 89-63. Murphy had a career game, scoring 31 points and Brown added 21.

In conference play, we are doing just fine at home, but we cannot seem to buy a win on the road, even though we have had a chance a couple of times.
