Exhibitionists: Pre-Season Recap

Here’s a slightly late round-up of the exhibition games that have happened so far for New England’s college hoops teams in the last couple weeks as we lead up to the exciting start of a new season.

Big East
UConn: 11/2 vs. Amer. International (W 78-35), 11/6 vs. C.W. Post (W 91-61)
Providence: 10/25 vs. Assumption (W 64-51), 11/5 vs. UMass-Lowell (W 76-75)

ACC

America East
Vermont: 10/25 vs. St. Michael’s (W 64-31), 11/5 vs. Concordia (W 69-56)
Maine: 10/25 vs. Fisher (W 91-45), 11/5 vs. Ottawa (W 79-56)

Atlantic-10
Rhode Island: 11/4 vs. RI College (W 79-63), 11/7 vs. Ryerson (W 97-66)

MAAC
Fairfield: 11/4 vs. Bridgeport (W 97-70)

Patriot
Holy Cross: 11/5 vs. Assumption (W 84-52)

Who knows how much these games really will tell us about the quality of each team moving forward but in any case, they’re a fun way to kick of the season, see new freshmen in action and get warmed up for when the real season begins.  If I’m UConn, I’m feeling good, especially if Ryan Boatright’s gonna be suiting up sooner rather than later while BC should be feeling a little nervous after barely escaping AIC.  Same goes for PC after the scare against Lowell.  Holy Cross looks good too especially if you compare their game against Assumption to Providence’s.
