Games of Interest

This is irrelevant to Otto's Army, but not to S.U. fans. Here's some scores from over the weekend of some games that S.U. fans should care about. Overall, the Big East is 30-8 through Saturday's games.


(6) Louisville 104, Hartford 69. Terrence Williams records a triple double, but turns the ball over eight times for the Cardinals season opener.

South Florida 100, Florida Atlantic 69. South Florida gets their first win of the year behind Big East Player of the Year candidate Kentrell Gransberry's 21 and 9. The big man is averaging 15 and 11 in three games.

Siena 79, (20) Stanford 67. Stanford some how got into the tournament ahead of Syracuse last year, but this year the Cardinals fall to Siena, at Siena. Siena is the team that just lost to S.U. The win for the Orange looks a little better and will be an RPI booster.

Depaul 54, Northwestern 53. Depaul gets their first win of the year. They lost their opener to a MVC team for the second straight year.

Florida 88, Rutgers 53. Only thing of note here is JR Inman for the Scarlet Knights is good. The Junior Forward is averaging 20 and 8 this year and is the reason the Knights are 3-1 early.

St. Joseph's 57, Boston 48. Keep winning St. Joe's, they make Syracuse's win look better the more they win.

UMASS 93, UWGB 83. UMASS looks like they score at will early on here. They have jumped out to a 4-1 start averaging closer to 90 points a game. Their ability to score could give S.U. fits.

Rhode Island 80, Stetson 65. Rhode Island is undefeated so far at 4-0. The Rams square of with the Orange December 8th. They have a deep rotation with 8 players seeing 20 minutes a game so far.

Division II Alaska Fairbanks 62, Oregon State 60. Are you serious Oregon State? Everyone knew they were going to be bad, but that bad?

Virginia 75, (17) Arizona 72. S.U. goes to Virginia in December for probably their biggest game in the non-conference schedule. Sean Singletary is a great player, he led the Cavaliers with 24 points. UVA is also undefeated so far at 3-0. Something interesting to note, UVA has played 13 players in three games so far that have averaged at least 4 minutes a game. No player on that team is averaging more than 5 rebounds per game because of this depth.

Sunday's games will be up when those games are over.
